Sinopse

In 'The Secrets of the Self' (Asrar-i Khudi), Muhammad Sir Iqbal presents a profound philosophical exploration of the concept of selfhood, intertwining Persian and Urdu poetic traditions with rich metaphysical inquiry. The poem articulates the journey of self-discovery through an intricate interplay of imagery and allegory, urging the reader to realize their essential individuality while grappling with the transcendent. Iqbal's lyrical mastery is evidenced in how he captures the essence of eternal struggle and self-actualization against the backdrop of societal constraints, reflecting the zeitgeist of a burgeoning modern Muslim identity in the early 20th century. Iqbal, often hailed as the spiritual father of Pakistan, was deeply influenced by Western philosophy and Sufism, melding these strands to cultivate a unique outlook on selfhood. His own experiences as a scholar and thinker navigating colonialism'Äôs challenges profoundly shaped his philosophical inquiries, leading him to advocate for the empowerment of the individual as the driving force for societal change. His synthesis of Eastern and Western thought marks a significant contribution to modern Islamic philosophy. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a nuanced understanding of identity, individuality, and spiritual awakening. Iqbal's work transcends mere poetry, making it a critical text for scholars and general readers alike who are drawn to existential questions and the quest for meaning within a complex world.

He wants power. He wants love. Society gives him neither without a price.
Julien Sorel, brilliant and fiercely ambitious, rises from humble origins into a world ruled by class, hypocrisy, and political intrigue. Torn between faith and ambition, desire and pride, he navigates dangerous romances and ruthless social games—each choice pulling him closer to triumph or ruin.

Celebrated as "one of the first great psychological novels," Stendhal's masterpiece dissects vanity, hypocrisy, and the hunger for status with startling clarity. Its portrait of a young man fighting society—and himself—remains timeless and unsettlingly modern.

If you love sharp character studies, political tension, and classics that expose the cost of ambition, this novel is unforgettable.

Open the book—and witness how desire and destiny collide.

Finalist for the 2024 National Book Award for PoetryIn her new poetry collection, Evie Shockley mobilizes visual art, sound, and multilayered language to chart routes towards openings for the collective dreaming of a more capacious "we." How do we navigate between the urgency of our own becoming and the imperative insight that whoever we are, we are in relation to each other? Beginning with the visionary art of Black women like Alison Saar and Alma Thomas, Shockley's poems draw and forge a widening constellation of connections that help make visible the interdependence of everyone and everything on Earth.perchedi am black, comely,a girl on the cusp of desire.my dangling toes take the restthe rest of my body refuses. spine upright,my pose proposes anticipation. i poisein copper-colored tension, intent onmanifesting my soul in the discouraging world.under the rough eyes of others, i stiffen.if i must be hard, it will be as a tree, alivewith change. inside me, a love of beauty riseslike sap, sprouts from my scalpand stretches forth. i send out my song, an ariablue and feathered, and grow toward it,choirs bare, but soon to bud. i amblack and becoming.         —after Alison Saar's Blue Bird
