Sinopsis

Within The Enemy's Lines, a compelling adventure novel by Oliver Optic, encapsulates the struggles and valor of a young Union soldier during the American Civil War. Through vivid prose and gripping narrative, Optic masterfully weaves a tale of espionage, bravery, and moral dilemmas faced by the protagonists as they navigate the complexities of war. The book is distinguished by its realistic portrayals and moral underpinnings, characteristic of Optic's works, which often aim to impart ethical lessons to young readers amidst thrilling escapades. Oliver Optic, the pen name of William Taylor Adams, was a prolific author and educator, deeply influenced by the societal upheavals of his time. His background as a teacher and his service in the Union Army permeate his writing, imbuing it with authenticity and passionate engagement with themes of duty, courage, and sacrifice. Optic's commitment to promoting moral values through exciting storytelling reflects the broader literary movements of his era, where tales of adventure were utilized to inspire and educate the youth of America. I highly recommend Within The Enemy's Lines to readers interested in the intersection of youth literature and historical fiction. Optic's ability to blend educational themes with engaging narratives makes this book a significant contribution to Civil War literature, providing both an exhilarating read and a poignant reflection on the human spirit during one of America'Äôs most tumultuous periods.

    The authoritative cultural history of Virginia's most famous accused witch 
     
     
     
    In 1706, Grace Sherwood was "ducked" after her neighbors in Princess Anne County accused her of witchcraft. Binding and throwing her into the Lynnhaven River, they waited to see whether she would float to the top (evidence of her guilt) or sink (proof of her innocence). Incredibly, she survived. This bizarre spectacle became an early piece of Virginia folklore as stories about Sherwood, the "Witch of Pungo," spread. Her legend still looms large in Tidewater. In 2006, Governor Tim Kaine even issued an informal pardon of Sherwood, read aloud by the mayor of Virginia Beach before the annual reenactment of Sherwood's ducking. 
     
     
     
    This is the first book to explore Grace Sherwood's life and cultural impact in depth. Anyone interested in colonial Virginia, American folklore, and the history and legacy of witch trials will find much to enjoy in this spellbinding book.

    "Why do we want to dominate or be subservient to another? - 20 August 1949  
    • Why is it that we dominate, consciously or unconsciously? 
    • To submit oneself to another is the negative form of domination. We shall not 
    be able to solve this problem by thinking in terms of opposites. 
    • Is not domination a process of isolation, which denies relationship? 
    • Can there be relationship between two people if there is any sense of 
    domination or submissiveness? 
    • Q: Is not the experience of the past a help towards freedom and right action in 
    the present? 
    • Q: Is my believing in survival after death a hindrance to liberation through self- 
    knowledge? 
    • Q: Why is it certain individuals identify themselves with you or with your state 
    of being and thereby gain authority for themselves?"
