On reading in relation to literature - Exploring the Transformative Power of Reading

Lafcadio Hearn

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "On Reading in Relation to Literature," Lafcadio Hearn explores the intricate relationship between reading and the formation of literary consciousness. Drawing from a diverse array of texts and philosophical musings, Hearn employs a lyrical prose style that reflects his deep appreciation for the transformative power of literature. He delves into the role that reading plays in shaping both individual identity and collective cultural memory, positioning literature as a vital conduit through which readers can navigate the complexities of life and human experience. This work emerges from the broader context of 19th-century literary criticism, engaging with contemporaries while carving out its unique philosophical stance. Lafcadio Hearn, an eclectic figure with a multicultural background, brings a rich tapestry of influences to his writing. Born in Greece to a Greek father and an Irish mother, and later becoming a naturalized Japanese citizen, Hearn's life was marked by a quest for understanding across cultural divides. His fascination with the intersection of Eastern and Western literary traditions, as well as his personal journey through displacement and identity, inspired him to articulate the profound significance of reading in one's literary journey and personal growth. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the interplay between literature and the human experience. Hearn'Äôs insights not only broaden the understanding of the reader's role in literary engagement but also challenge us to reflect on our own literary practices. It is a timeless exploration that resonates with today'Äôs diverse literary landscapes, making it a recommended addition to the libraries of avid readers and literary scholars alike.

Fortunate Sons - The 120 Chinese...

Matthew Miller, Liel Leibovitz

"With its surging storyline, extraordinary events, and depth of character, this gripping tale of 120 Chinese boys sent to America . . . reads more like a novel than an obscure slice of history." —Publishers Weekly, starred review 
 
 
 
In 1872, China—ravaged by poverty, population growth, and aggressive European armies—sent 120 boys to America to learn the secrets of Western innovation. They studied at New England's finest schools and were driven by a desire for progress and reform. When anti-Chinese fervor forced them back home, the young men had to overcome a suspicious imperial court and a country deeply resistant to change in technology and culture. Fortunate Sons tells a remarkable story, weaving together the dramas of personal lives with the fascinating tale of a nation's endeavor to become a world power.
