Journal to Stella

Jonathan Swift

Verlag: CLXBX

Beschreibung

Journal to Stella by Jonathan Swift is a fascinating and deeply personal collection of letters that offers readers a rare glimpse into the private life and mind of one of the greatest writers of the eighteenth century. Written between 1710 and 1713, these letters were addressed to Esther Johnson—affectionately called "Stella"—Swift's close companion and trusted confidante.

Composed while Swift was living in London, the journal records his daily experiences, thoughts, and observations during a crucial period of political and literary activity in Britain. Through these lively entries, Swift describes the bustling world of London society, his interactions with prominent political leaders, and the shifting atmosphere of public affairs. The letters reveal the author moving within influential circles while maintaining his characteristic wit and sharp intelligence.

Unlike Swift's famous satirical works, Journal to Stella reveals a far more intimate side of the writer. The tone is playful, affectionate, and conversational, filled with private jokes, humorous remarks, and moments of tenderness directed toward Stella and her companion Rebecca Dingley. This unique style allows readers to witness Swift not as the formidable satirist but as a warm, attentive friend sharing the details of his everyday life.

The journal also serves as an important historical document. Swift's observations provide insight into the political tensions, social customs, and cultural life of early eighteenth-century Britain. His accounts of meetings with ministers, writers, and public figures offer a vivid picture of the intellectual and political climate of the time.

At the heart of the work lies the enduring connection between Swift and Stella. Through his affectionate language and constant communication, readers glimpse a relationship marked by loyalty, humor, and deep emotional attachment.

Charming, candid, and historically rich, Journal to Stella stands as one of the most revealing personal records in English literature. It offers not only a portrait of Jonathan Swift the man, but also an intimate window into the social and political world in which he lived and wrote.

The World Needs More Love - A...

Y'akoto

Life is messy, brutal, hilarious, and breathtaking-and it's easy to forget how much love we need to survive it. This manifesto is a bold reminder. Y'akoto writes with raw honesty, dark humor, and unapologetic truth, pulling from her own journey as an artist, outsider, and fighter for self-acceptance. 
The World Needs More Love is not a self-help manual. It's a creative manifesto. A call to arms. A book that speaks to everyone who has ever felt out of place, broken, or exhausted-and still chooses to love life anyway. 
Through sharp insights and fearless storytelling, Y'akoto dismantles illusions about money, confidence, family, friendship, solitude, and survival. She reveals how love-toward yourself, toward others, toward the simple act of being alive-can be the most radical form of resistance in a world that thrives on fear and distraction. 
If you've ever craved a book that feels like talking to a brutally honest friend over a glass of wine, this is it. 
Daring. Reflective. Unfiltered. 
This is your reminder that staying in love with life is the most rebellious thing you can do.

Leah Day's Goddess Quilts -...

Leah Day

This is the story of Leah Day’s goddess quilts.
Leah’s creative journey began with the birth of her son and the conception of her first goddess quilt in 2007. While making that quilt, she found the vehicle for change and self-discovery she’d been searching for her whole life.
This is Leah’s story of transformation and how each goddess quilt in this series pushed her to become a better woman, wife, mother, and quilter.
This is not a book about any known goddesses from myth, legend, or religion. Leah’s goddess quilts are fantasy self-portraits that represent who she wished she could be and how she wanted to feel.
Exquisitely illustrated with dozens of detailed, full page photographs, quilters, artists, and anyone with an eye for bright color and gorgeous art quilts will find limitless inspiration inside this book.
By focusing on these powerful images through the many months, sometimes multiple years, it took to create each quilt, Leah found the wisdom and courage to change her life, her habits and even her thoughts.
Leah Day’s Goddess Quilts is an artist’s memoir that shows how you too can embrace courage and cultivate gratitude. Leah openly shares her personal struggles with self-criticism, the danger of dwelling on past pain, and how she overcame many obstacles blocking her path.
This is the story of a creative entrepreneur following a childhood dream. A story of success and failure and the struggle to remain humble in an egotistical social media fueled world. This is the story of a wife and mother embracing her creativity and releasing it to the world.
The goddess on the cover is called Release Your Light.
This is the light of your creativity.
It is not a spark or a flickering flame.
It’s an explosion of light more powerful than the sun.
Are you ready to release YOUR light?
