Beschreibung

In "Selected Prose of Oscar Wilde," readers are invited into a rich tapestry of thought, characterized by Wilde's signature wit and stylistic brilliance. This collection encompasses a diverse array of genres, including essays, letters, and critiques, revealing Wilde's profound insights into aesthetics, society, and human nature. The prose exemplifies the fin-de-si√®cle literary movement, marked by a fusion of elegance and decadence, as Wilde deftly confronts moral complexities and societal conventions with a provocative yet playful tone. Oscar Wilde, a luminary of the late 19th century, is renowned not only as a playwright and poet but also as a fervent advocate for individualism and artistic expression. His tumultuous life, marked by both remarkable success and societal ostracism, profoundly influenced his literary endeavors. Wilde's experiences'Äîranging from the vibrant London literary scene to his controversial trial'Äîimbued his writing with a keen awareness of the interplay between art and ethics, making his prose both timeless and relevant. "Selected Prose of Oscar Wilde" is an essential companion for anyone seeking to understand the intricacies of human experience through the lens of one of literature's most provocative figures. This collection promises to spark reflection and appreciation, urging readers to embrace the beauty of language and the complexity of life.

    Hope Under Oppression

    We have all been told, at one time or another, to "never give up hope." It's a common injunction to children, but as we grow older, sustaining hope becomes more challenging, particularly in a world we come to see as often frightening, dark, and unjust. But what is this thing "hope," and why is hope so valuable that we are so often urged to preserve and protect it? 
     
     
     
    This book explores the nature and essential role of hope in human life under conditions of oppression. Oppression is often a threat and damage to hope, yet many members of oppressed groups, including prominent activists pursuing a more just world, find hope valuable and even essential to their personal and political lives. Katie Stockdale offers a unique evaluative framework for hope that captures its intrinsic value, the rationality and morality of hope, and ultimately how we can hope well in the non-ideal world we share. She develops an account of the relationship between hope and anger about oppression and argues that when people are angry about oppression, they tend to also harbor hope for repair. 
     
     
     
    Ultimately, this work illustrates the crucial value of hope for both individuals and collectives in the pursuit of justice, and in an increasingly uncertain world.

    Lewen Weldon was mapping the desert of Egypt when the First World War broke out. A fluent Arabic speaker, he was recruited to run a network of spies and confidential agents from a steam yacht onto the Syrian coast behind Turkish lines. He took his men ashore in small boats at night, which also allowed him to land and conduct personal interviews before returning back through the surf. This vivid tale of adventure becomes eyewitness history as we encounter Armenians escaping the massacres, passionate Arab nationalists, resolute Turkish soldiers and a heroic network of Jewish volunteers. Weldon's modesty and self-deprecating Irish wit, complete with a few prejudices, take us to the vivid heart of his experience. This is a story that simply had to be told.
