Sinossi

Knut Hamsun's "The Greatest Works of Knut Hamsun" is a masterful compilation that encompasses the essence of modernist literature through its profound psychological insight and stylistic innovation. The collection features seminal works like "Hunger" and "Growth of the Soil," which not only delve into the complexities of the human condition but also reflect the existential angst of late 19th-century Europe. Hamsun's distinctive narrative technique, characterized by stream-of-consciousness and vivid imagery, engages readers in the intricate dance between the conscious and subconscious mind, creating an immersive literary experience within the broader context of a society on the brink of change. Hamsun, a Nobel laureate in 1920, draws from his tumultuous early life experiences in Norway, which were marked by poverty and isolation, themes that resonate throughout his works. His unique perspective as a rural individual navigating the urban landscape provides the fertile ground for exploring the conflicts between individual desires and societal expectations. This personal connection to the characters enriches the portrayal of their struggles, lending authenticity to his exploration of innate human instincts. I highly recommend "The Greatest Works of Knut Hamsun" for readers seeking an in-depth understanding of modernist literature and the intricate psychology of its characters. Hamsun's exploration of raw human experience speaks across time, making this collection a compelling study for both literary enthusiasts and those interested in the depths of the human psyche.

Summary of Anabel Hernandez's...

Falcon Press

Buy now to get the main key ideas from Anabel Hernandez's Narcoland 
  
The world of Mexican drug cartels has become notorious for its extreme violence and wealth, but also its secrecy. Anabel Hernandez’s Narcoland (2014) dives into this world and uncovers its history, its day-to-day operations, and the men behind it. Today's cartels began as small local gangs selling narcotics. As they grew and banded together, they began bribing authorities for protection. Soon, many Mexican officials were participating in the industry rather than trying to stop it. Drug lords gained incredible amounts of power and wealth, but rivals were always trying to eliminate them. 
Hernandez sees no end to this cycle of violence and corruption until kids in poverty receive opportunities outside of drug trafficking. Otherwise, Mexico will continue being known as "Narcoland."

Long before radio and television, he brought the transformative message of the gospel before 100 million people on both sides of the Atlantic. Thousands of underprivileged young people were educated in the schools he established, and before the Civil War, he went to a place no one else would: the slums of Chicago called, "Little Hell." The mission he started in an abandoned saloon drew children by the hundreds and prompted a visit from President-elect, Abraham Lincoln, in 1860.Drawing on the best, most recent scholarship, D. L. Moody—A Life chronicles the incredible journey of one of the great souls of history.

Redlined - A Memoir of Race...

Linda Gartz

Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, Redlined exposes the racist lending rules that refuse mortgages to anyone in areas with even one black resident. As blacks move deeper into Chicago’s West Side during the 1960s, whites flee by the thousands. But Linda Gartz’s parents, Fred and Lil choose to stay in their integrating neighborhood, overcoming previous prejudices as they meet and form friendships with their African American neighbors. The community sinks into increasing poverty and crime after two race riots destroy its once vibrant business district, but Fred and Lil continue to nurture their three apartment buildings and tenants for the next twenty years in a devastated landscape―even as their own relationship cracks and withers. 
After her parents’ deaths, Gartz discovers long-hidden letters, diaries, documents, and photos stashed in the attic of her former home. Determined to learn what forces shattered her parents’ marriage and undermined her community, she searches through the family archives and immerses herself in books on racial change in American neighborhoods. Told through the lens of Gartz’s discoveries of the personal and political, Redlined delivers a riveting story of a community fractured by racial turmoil, an unraveling and conflicted marriage, a daughter’s fight for sexual independence, and an up-close, intimate view of the racial and social upheavals of the 1960s.
