  Under the Rose

  Anatole France, Michael Corday...

   THE greater part of the unpublished remains of Anatole France consists of Dialogues which he intended to entitle Under the Rose. 
  He liked that old-fashioned expression. In the course of an essay on the Emperor Julian in Life and Letters, he says : 
  “ One evening I heard Monsieur Renan say under the rose, ‘ Julian ! Why, the man was a reactionary.’ ” 
  But nowadays the phrase is seldom used, and its real significance is almost forgotten. The big dictionaries of the day know it not. 
  He had, as a matter of fact, begun to write these Dialogues just after the war, and he had, no doubt, been prompted to enroll them beneath the emblem of Peace. The reader will observe in due course how one of his characters alludes to this auspicious date. “ Let us celebrate tog'ether,” so the words run, “ in these days of peace and repose, here beneath the sacred olive, the serene orgies of metaphysics. Let us drink our fill of wisdom.”

  Unbought and Unbossed

  Shirley Chisholm

  In this classic work—a blend of memoir, social criticism, and political analysis that remains relevant today—the first Black Congresswoman to serve in American history, New York’s dynamic representative Shirley Chisholm, traces her extensive political struggle and examines the problems that have long plagued the American system of government. 
  “Shirley Chisholm created a path for me and for so many others. Today, I'm thinking about her inspirational words: 'I am, and always will be a catalyst for change.'” —Kamala Harris 
  “A tremendously impressive book.” —Washington Post 
  “I want to be remembered as a woman . . . who dared to be a catalyst of change.” Political pioneer Shirley Chisholm—activist, member of the House of Representatives, and former presidential candidate—was a woman who consistently broke barriers and inspired generations of American women, and especially women of color. Unbought and Unbossed is her story, told in her own words—a thoughtful and informed look at her rise from the streets of Brooklyn to the halls of Congress. Chisholm speaks out on her life in politics while illuminating the events, personalities, and issues of her time, including the schism in the Democratic party in the 1960s and ’70s—all of which speak to us today. 
  In this frank assessment, “Fighting Shirley” recalls how she took on an entrenched system, gave a public voice to millions, and embarked on a trailblazing bid to be the first woman and first African American President of the United States. By daring to be herself, Shirley Chisholm shows how one person forever changed the status quo. 
  “What [Chisholm] did was so pioneering. . . . She embraced what made her different and used it as her superpower.” —Regina King 
  “Her motto and title of her autobiography—Unbought and Unbossed—illustrates her outspoken advocacy for women and minorities during her seven terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.” —National Women’s History Museum

  Culinary Jailbreak - The...

  In the depths of confinement, where the walls are more than just bricks and mortar but a constant reminder of lost opportunities, an unexpected force emerged: food. This story is not just about escape in the traditional sense, but about breaking free from the psychological and emotional prisons that can often be more suffocating than physical ones. It is a testament to the unyielding human spirit, its capacity for creativity and resilience even in the most stifling of conditions. 
  Incarceration is a test of endurance. Every day is marked by repetition, isolation, and the stripping away of autonomy. It’s easy to feel like hope is a distant dream, slipping further away with each passing hour. But in the midst of despair, something remarkable happened—a plan was forged in the most unlikely of places: the prison kitchen. It was here, in a space designed to merely nourish the body, that a group of individuals came to realize the power of food as a vehicle for something greater: freedom. 
  The idea didn’t start as a grand blueprint or a well-thought-out escape plan. It began with the simple, shared joy of creating something from limited ingredients, turning mundane meals into small acts of rebellion. The kitchen, a place that was simultaneously a site of routine and surveillance, became a sanctuary for ingenuity. It was a space where culinary skills, often honed outside the confines of prison walls, found new purpose in the service of something far more important than sustenance—it became the key to unlocking doors that seemed forever closed.
