  On the Duty of Civil Disobedience

  Henry David Thoreau

  What does it mean to stand alone against the tide of conformity? Henry David Thoreau's On the Duty of Civil Disobedience is a rallying cry for the individual conscience in a world that often demands silent compliance. Written in 1849, this powerful essay transcends its time, offering an enduring blueprint for resisting injustice through peaceful defiance.
  Thoreau's words are both a philosophical meditation and a practical guide. With piercing clarity and quiet rebellion, he challenges the reader to examine their relationship with authority, urging them to act according to principle rather than convenience. But this is no fiery manifesto—it is a calm, deliberate reflection on the moral duty of each person to refuse complicity in systems of oppression.
  This essay is not just for dreamers or idealists; it speaks to anyone who has ever questioned whether they have the courage to say "no." Thoreau's call resonates with movements for freedom and equality across the ages, from Gandhi to Martin Luther King Jr. It dares us to ask: Are we citizens of the state, or citizens of justice?

  The Völva’s Apprentice - A Norse...

  I had heard tales of women with secret knowledge and powers, but I never imagined that there would be one standing right in front of me. 
  “You’re a Völva?” the word rolled off my tongue strangely... 
  I only knew faintly what a Völva was. They were said to be strange women with strange powers. Not only could they protect and ward against ill omens, but they could also travel the realms and reach into places untapped by most humans. As such, they were often spoken of in whispers of both reverence and mystery. 
  “Yes, I am. And an old one at that,” she said, getting up from her chair. 
  It seemed so casual as if she was just talking about a mindless chore that she was doing. Like it was nothing special that she had just performed some form of magic right in front of me. 
  For two years, I learned everything I could on runes, protections, herbs, medicines, and anything else that Dagmar deemed necessary. In the few moments I had that were not dedicated to lessons from Dagmar, I would seek out Ivar for his quiet presence. There was just something about being near him that set my mind at ease. 
  All that consumed my thoughts was avengement and how close Ulrik was. Soon he would taste the bitter sting of defeat. 
  In the realms of Norse Mythology, a girl sets out to avenge her village only to meet a powerful teacher on her journey into the abyss of forbidden knowledge.

  How to Be Queer - An Ancient...

  The idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations. 
   
   
   
  How to Be Queer starts with Homer's Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes. From Homer's story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho's lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros. 
   
   
   
  Complete with brief introductions to the selections, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago—that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.
