A Revolution of Thought

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

Journey through the captivating history of the United States in this comprehensive and engaging narrative. From the seeds of revolution to the modern era, this book explores the profound transformations that have shaped the nation's identity and propelled it to its current standing as a global superpower.

Delve into the intellectual and political currents that sparked the American Revolution, culminating in the iconic Declaration of Independence. Witness the birth of a new republic, grappling with the challenges of self-governance and the establishment of a stable and just society. Expansion and conflict mark the nation's early years as it grows westward, confronts internal divisions, and engages in wars that shape its destiny.

The road to civil war exposes the deep fissures within American society, as the issue of slavery divides the nation and leads to a bloody conflict that tests the very foundations of the Union. Reconstruction and reunion follow, bringing both progress and setbacks in the struggle for racial equality. The Industrial Revolution transforms the economy and society, while the World Wars propel America onto the global stage.

The Civil Rights Movement emerges as a powerful force for change, challenging segregation and discrimination and ultimately leading to landmark legislation that advances the cause of equality. The modern era brings new challenges and opportunities, from the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal to the rise of the internet and the globalization of the economy.

Throughout this journey, we encounter a cast of remarkable individuals who have left an indelible mark on the nation's history. From presidents and politicians to activists and reformers, their stories illuminate the struggles, triumphs, and sacrifices that have shaped the American experience. Their legacies continue to inspire and challenge us as we navigate the complexities of the present and look towards the future.

This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of American history. With its captivating narrative, insightful analysis, and rich cast of characters, it brings the past to life and offers a fresh perspective on the events that have shaped the United States.

Steve McQueen & Charles Bronson:...

Editors Charles River

In the 1960s and 1970s, no actor personified cool, calm and collected like Steve McQueen, whose suave anti-hero protagonists made men jealous and women swoon. As actor Donald Logue puts it in The Tao of Steve, “Steve is the prototypical cool American male. He's the guy on his horse, the guy alone. He has his own code of honor, his own code of ethics, his own rules of living. He never, ever tries to impress the women, but he always gets the girl." And indeed, that was the case not only in movies like The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, The Getaway, and Papillon, but also in real life. Actress Ali MacGraw, who later became one of his wives, described his effect on women: "I remember seeing him across the swimming pool and my knees were knocking. He radiated such macho energy. Men wanted to be like him. Uptight society ladies and biker molls wanted to be with him." But unlike many actors who become this type of heartthrob, McQueen seemed to have the bona fides.   
To accompany the rough-hewn appearance of Charles Bronson’s new class of hero, the typical script gave his remarkably enduring persona little to say in terms of dialogue that would reveal his inner thoughts. With minimal text, even those he attempts to help are unsure of his intentions, and few clues are offered by which the viewer can come to know his mind. As the grotesqueness of his characters’ violent acts increased, so did the heinous deeds of the criminals he fought, upping the ante to an eager public in search of a simple cure for its social ills. In a career of almost eighty films and a total body of work totaling 160 appearances including television, Bronson pushed the envelope of what graphic action the studios were willing to offer, what the censors would accept, and what the sensibilities of movie-goers were able to endure more than anyone in his era.

Aspects of the Novel

E. M. Forster

First published in 1927, Aspects of the Novel by E. M. Forster remains one of the most influential works of literary criticism in the English language. Based on a series of lectures delivered at Cambridge University, Forster explores the essential elements that define the novel — story, people, plot, fantasy, prophecy, pattern, and rhythm. 
With wit, clarity, and intellectual warmth, Forster examines the craft of novelists from Jane Austen and Charles Dickens to Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, offering insights into what makes fiction come alive on the page. His timeless reflections challenge rigid forms of analysis, inviting readers and writers alike to approach the novel as both an art and an exploration of human experience. 
This classic guide to understanding fiction is as engaging today as when it was first delivered, a must-listen for students of literature, aspiring writers, and lovers of storytelling.
