Sinopsis

The Collected Works of Louisa May Alcott showcases the remarkable breadth of Alcott's literary contributions, encompassing her acclaimed novels, short stories, and essays. Notably recognized for her groundbreaking work, "Little Women," Alcott employs a distinctive style characterized by vibrant characterizations and rich emotional depth, intertwining themes of feminism, family, and social critique within the context of 19th-century America. This comprehensive compilation not only highlights her ability to blend autobiographical elements with fiction but also demonstrates her adeptness in addressing cultural norms and societal expectations, making her voice both a reflection and critique of her time. Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was profoundly influenced by her transcendentalist upbringing and her close relationships with strong female figures in her life, including her mother and sisters. A passionate advocate for women's rights and abolition, Alcott's experiences enriched her storytelling, infusing her narratives with an authentic exploration of women's identities and aspirations. Her literary journey reveals an author who was not only attuned to the struggles of her contemporaries but also dedicated to representing their stories through her art. For readers seeking a multifaceted understanding of early American literature, The Collected Works of Louisa May Alcott is an essential addition to any bookshelf. It offers a journey through the mind of one of America's most beloved authors and provides invaluable insights into the challenges and triumphs of women in her era. This collection is a celebration of resilience and creativity, making it a rewarding read for anyone interested in literature, history, or gender studies.

    Ludwig van Beethoven: The Life...

    Among all of history’s greatest musicians, few have been as admired or influential as Ludwig van Beethoven, whose name remains synonymous with composing. Works like his Fifth and Ninth symphonies remain instantly recognizable over 200 years after they were composed, and their sweeping and grandiose nature are made all the more amazing by the fact that their author was gradually going deaf and couldn’t hear music very well by the time he was composing them. Similarly, the “Moonlight Sonata” and "Für Elise" are renowned across the world and are some of the most famous piano pieces of all time. 
    At the same time, Beethoven’s work ushered in a new era in art, helping the transition from the Classical era to the Romantic era. In the 180 years since his death, Beethoven has been enshrined by modern society as one of the most esteemed classical composers in the history of civilization, but he had a profound and immediate influence on the German musical lineage that would pass through Robert Schumann, Richard Wagner, Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss all the way to composers of the 20th and early 21st centuries. At a time when music was very much viewed as science, Beethoven was a giant in the field, and as such he was viewed as a genius. As Beethoven himself once put it, “Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.” 
    In terms of assessing the essence of Beethoven’s era, character or musical output, no unqualified categorization is possible, for he straddled a titanic shifting of social ideologies, performance and compositional practices, intra-continental upheavals and an emergence of the championed self in all forms of civic and artistic expressions. The ideals of the Enlightenment, an intellectual tide that swept throughout the late 18th century and opened the door to a new individualism, did not remain static through his lifetime.

    Frederick Albert Cook (June 10, 1865 - August 5, 1940) was an American explorer and physician noted for his claims of achieving the first summit of Mount McKinley, in September 1906, and having reached the North Pole on April 21, 1908, which would have been a year before Robert Peary. Both claims have been largely discredited. Later, Dr. Cook was a founding member of the Arctic Club and Explorers Club. 
    Robert Edwin Peary, Sr. (May 6, 1856 - February 20, 1920) was an American explorer who claimed to have led the first expedition, on April 6, 1909, to reach the geographic North Pole. 
    Peary's claim was widely accepted for most of the 20th century, rather than the competing claim by Frederick Cook who said he got there a year earlier. More recently, historians generally believe Cook did not reach the pole, and there are grave doubts that Peary did, though he may have been as close as five miles. 
    Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (February 1874 - January 5, 1922) was an Anglo-Irish polar explorer and one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. 
    In January 1909 - as leader of the Nimrod Expedition - he and three companions made a southern march which established a record-farthest south latitude at 88 degrees 23' S - some 97 geographical from the South Pole - the closest convergence in exploration history up to that time. For this achievement, Shackleton was knighted by King Edward VII on his return home.
