Beschreibung

Comic Tragedies is a fascinating glimpse into the youthful literary experiments of Louisa May Alcott and her sister, Anna Bronson Alcott Pratt. This collection encapsulates the vivid imagination and playful creativity of two young sisters as they navigate through the complexities of their childhood dreams and experiences. Encompassing an array of literary styles, from drama to satire, this anthology captures a breadth of human experience while deftly balancing humor and gravitas. The selection is exemplary of the innovative and unyielding spirit of the sisters, who manage to convey deep truths through the lens of youthful exuberance. The Alcott sisters, celebrated for their profound contributions to American literature, crafted these works during their formative years, bringing a fresh perspective to the themes of hardship, aspiration, and familial bonds. Emerging during a time of significant cultural and literary evolution in America, these pieces align with the transcendentalist movement, yet possess a distinct charm of their own. The sisters' backgrounds as visionary women of their era shine through in this collection, enriching the reader's understanding of 19th-century social dynamics, family roles, and literary innovation. A remarkable volume, Comic Tragedies serves as both an educational resource and a source of inspiration. Readers are invited to explore the dynamic interplay of styles and themes that the Alcott sisters engage with so brilliantly. The anthology presents a unique opportunity to witness the burgeoning talent and ingenuity of these storied authors. Whether appreciated for its historical context or the pure delight of its narratives, this collection is sure to engage and enlighten audiences, providing an in-depth dialogue across its varied contributions."}

    What if the most admired teacher in philosophy couldn’t show you how to live well? 
    In Clitophon, Plato gives voice to a disillusioned disciple. Clitophon, once captivated by Socrates’ speeches, now questions their value—arguing that Socrates inspires but never instructs. In this brief yet bold exchange, the roles of teacher and student are reversed. 
    This modern translation captures the tension, ambiguity, and unresolved nature of Plato’s shortest dialogue—offering a powerful look at the limits of inspiration without action. 
    What you'll discover inside: 
    •	A Direct Challenge to Socratic Philosophy – Clitophon accuses Socrates of failing to guide others to virtue 
    •	A Dialogue Unlike Any Other – Brief, mysterious, and unresolved—leaving interpretation open 
    •	The Limits of Inspiration – Explore the gap between admiration and transformation 
    •	A Clear, Thoughtful Translation – Perfect for anyone studying the role of philosophy in real-life virtue 
    Experience Clitophon, Plato’s most cryptic confrontation, and decide for yourself—can words alone lead to wisdom?

    Although Xi Jinping came to power a decade ago, he remains an enigmatic figure in the West. His priority has always been to keep Chinese society as stable as possible, steering a course through a period of astounding economic growth, while ensuring that nothing challenges the political status quo.
    
    But with unrest stirring in Hong Kong, reports of human rights abuses taking place in the Xinjiang region and, devastatingly, the outbreak of a virus that would change the world, suddenly understanding Xi's China is more important than ever before.
    
    In this short and timely book, academic and author Kerry Brown examines the complexities behind the man, explaining the impact that his rule is already having on the West. But who is Xi really, and what is his vision for China's future? And, crucially, what does that mean for the rest of the world?
