Sinopsis

In "Intentions," Oscar Wilde presents a collection of essays that delve into aesthetics, ethics, and the role of the artist in society, exemplifying his characteristic wit and aphoristic brilliance. Written in a lush, engaging literary style, Wilde explores the idea of art for art's sake, arguing against the moralizing tendencies of his contemporaries. The essays provide a critical reflection on the interplay between beauty, truth, and morality, situated within the broader context of the late Victorian era's cultural clash between rigid moral standards and burgeoning artistic freedom. Oscar Wilde, a leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement, was profoundly influenced by his own experiences navigating the complexities of societal norms and artistic expression. His stand against conventional morality was both personal and philosophical, shaped by his education at Trinity College and his time in Paris, where he encountered diverse artistic movements. "Intentions" serves as a manifesto for his beliefs, revealing his commitment to individuality and the importance of aesthetic pursuits. This thought-provoking collection is essential reading for anyone interested in literary criticism, aesthetic philosophy, or the evolution of modern thought. Wilde's incisive essays challenge readers to reflect on the relationship between art and society, making it a timeless contribution to the discourse on artistic identity and purpose.

    If it seems like everyone you know is playing Dungeons & Dragons, it's because they are! After nearly five decades, the iconic roleplaying game is more popular than ever. Famous Hollywood actors and directors, therapists, educators, politicians, kids, parents, and grandparents all count themselves as fans. In Welcome to Dragon Talk, hosts of the official D&D podcast Shelly Mazzanoble and Greg Tito and their surprising guests show how this beloved pastime has amassed a diverse, tight-knit following of players who defy stereotypes. 
     
     
      
    Shelly and Greg recount some of their most inspiring interviews and illuminate how their guests use the core tenets of the game in everyday life. An A-list actor defends D&D by baring his soul (and his muscles) on social media. A teacher in a disadvantaged district in Houston creates a D&D club that motivates students to want to read and think analytically. A writer and live-streamer demonstrates how D&D–inspired communication breaks barriers and empowers people of color. Listeners will see why Dungeons & Dragons has remained such a pop culture phenomenon and how it has given this disparate and growing community the inspiration to flourish and spread some in-game magic into the real world.

    An addictively free-ranging survey of the massive impact that the humble and loveable sheep have had on human history.From the plains of ancient Mesopotamia to the rolling hills of medieval England to the vast sheep farms of modern-day Australia, the domesticated ungulates of the genus Ovis—sheep—have been central to the human story.Starting with our Neolithic ancestors' first forays into sheep-rearing nearly 10,000 years ago, these remarkable animals have fed us, clothed us, changed our diet and languages, helped us to win wars, decorated our homes, and financed the conquest of large swathes of the earth. Enormous fortunes and new, society-changing industries have been made from the fleeces of sheep, and cities shaped by shepherds' markets and meat trading.Sally Coulthard weaves the rich and fascinating story of sheep into a vivid and colorful tapestry, thickly threaded with engaging anecdotes and remarkable ovine facts, whose multiple strands reflect the deep penetration of these woolly animals into every aspect of human society and culture.

    Curiosity is a dangerous thing. I peered into the darkness. It crept into my brain. 
    I broke my promise. The village elder told me to stay away, but I didn’t listen. 
    I ended up trapped in an underground chamber with a crystal skull. It called out in the shadows, begging me to caress its smooth, cold surface. 
    That was the beginning of my transformation. 
    The demon filled me with a dark addiction. He feeds on my lust and uses me as a puppet. Here in the jungle, we’ll build a utopia. 
    A world where the strong rule the weak.

    Bohemians - A Very Short...

    The Romantic myth of Bohemia originated in the early nineteenth century as a way of describing the new conditions faced by artists and writers when the previous system of aristocratic patronage collapsed in the wake of the Age of Revolution. Without the patron system, the artist was free to move around, to seek an audience wherever fortune beckoned. This marketing model likening the artist's vagabond career to the "gypsy" life helps to explain part of the bohemian myth, but not all of it. Most bohemians have scant interest in commercial gain and are not so itinerant after all, confining their movements to down-market urban neighborhoods where the rent is cheap and the morals are loose. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction traces the myth of Bohemia through its various fictional manifestations, from Henry Murger's novel Scenes of Bohemian Life and Giacomo Puccini's opera La Bohème to Aki Kaurismäki's film La vie de Bohème and Jonathan Larson's musical Rent. It goes on to examine the history of different bohemian communities, including those in the Latin Quarter of Paris and the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York. David Weir also considers the politics of Bohemia and traces the careers of the artists Gustave Courbet and Pablo Picasso and the great chanteuses Yvette Guilbert, Fréhel, and Edith Piaf in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris.
