Summary

Literary Awards examines the significant role of international literary prizes as cultural gatekeepers, influencing global literary trends and shaping perceptions of "good" literature. These awards, including the Nobel Prize in Literature, the Booker Prize, and the Prix Goncourt, often dictate the flow of cultural capital and impact literary canons. The book reveals how factors beyond pure artistic merit, such as political considerations and market forces, affect these accolades. Did you know that these awards can act as tools of cultural diplomacy, influencing international relations through literature? The book offers a historical overview, tracing the evolution of literary prizes from national systems to global phenomena. It analyzes how post-colonialism, globalization, and the rise of a global literary market have shaped these awards. By examining specific case studies and incorporating interviews with authors and publishers, Literary Awards argues that these prizes, while powerful, are not neutral arbiters of literary quality. The book progresses from introducing key concepts like cultural capital to analyzing specific awards and discussing ethical implications, providing a comprehensive analysis of the literary awards landscape.

    The pursuit of speed has always captivated the human imagination, driving innovation and inspiring some of the greatest technological advancements in history. From the Wright brothers’ first powered flight to the jet-propelled marvels of the 20th century, aviation has relentlessly pushed the boundaries of what was once thought possible. Among these achievements, the fastest planes in history hold a special allure, embodying the pinnacle of engineering ingenuity and daring ambition.  
      
    This book delves into the enigmatic world of high-speed aviation, where myths and reality often intertwine. The fastest planes are not merely machines; they are symbols of national pride, strategic power, and the unyielding human desire to conquer the skies. Their stories are riddled with secrecy, as many of these aircraft were developed in the shadows of classified programs. Some remain shrouded in mystery, with questions about their true capabilities and existence lingering decades after their supposed flights.  
      
    Central to this narrative is the SR-71 Blackbird, an engineering masterpiece that redefined what it meant to be fast. Known as the "Habu" to those who flew it, this aircraft’s extraordinary performance—combined with its striking appearance—cemented its legendary status. Yet, the SR-71 is just one chapter in the larger saga of aviation speed. The rumored Aurora project, whispers of hypersonic successors, and the race to develop spaceplanes all contribute to a tapestry of intrigue that continues to evolve today.
