  Growing up, Mickey Rowe was told that he couldn’t enter the mainstream world.  
   
  He was iced out by classmates and colleagues, infantilized by well-meaning theatre directors, barred from even earning a minimum wage. Why? Because he is autistic.  
   
  Fearlessly Different: An Autistic Actor’s Journey to Broadway’s Biggest Stage is Mickey Rowe’s inspiring story. As an autistic and legally blind person, it was always made clear to Mickey the many things he was apparently incapable of  
  doing. But Mickey did them all anyway—and he succeeded because of, not in spite of, his autism. He became the first autistic actor to play the lead role in the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, landed the title role in the  
  play Amadeus, cocreated the theatre/philanthropy company Arts on the Waterfront, and founded the National Disability Theatre. Mickey faced untold obstacles along the way, but his story ends in triumph.  
   
  Many people feel they are locked out of the world of autism—that it’s impossible to even begin to understand. In Fearlessly Different, Mickey guides readers to that world while also helping those with autism to feel seen and understood. And he  
  shows all people—autistic and nonautistic alike—that the things that make us different are often our biggest strengths.

  The Conduct of Life

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

  Life does not unfold by design. It moves, shifts, adapts—sometimes in harmony, often in chaos. What, then, is the right way to live? With his signature clarity and quiet defiance, Ralph Waldo Emerson steps beyond theory into the pulse of everyday existence. He does not prescribe rigid formulas but instead offers something sharper: a way of seeing.
  Here, work is not mere labor but an act of self-realization. Power is not control but a force that shapes character. Fate is not an iron law but a current to navigate. Love, culture, beauty, behavior—each finds its place, not as abstract ideals but as forces in motion. Emerson does not soften reality; he meets it head-on, stripping away illusions, demanding engagement.
  There are no final answers, only the insistence that life must be lived with both strength and openness. This is not a manual for comfort but for those who seek meaning beyond convention, who recognize that the path is not given—it is made.
  In The Conduct of Life, Emerson's exploration unfolds across these essays, each a facet of life's ever-changing design:
  I. Fate
  II. Power
  III. Wealth
  IV. Culture
  V. Behavior
  VI. Worship
  VII. Considerations by the Way
  VIII. Beauty
  IX. Illusions

  Speak Still - Articulating the...

  Speak Still confronts colonial silencing by asking out loud: why do non-native speakers of English feel estranged from the English language, despite having known it since childhood? Is it possible for us to own this silence? If so, how can we find our eloquence from our experience of speechlessness? How can we bring the foreign language home?
  Blending personal narrative and cultural criticism, Speak Still takes Tong's bilingual experience in Hong Kong and the UK as a point of departure and reflects on the meaning of language, selfhood, and belonging. Through poignant observations of everyday life as it is experienced between languages, Tong conceptualises a possibility to communicate and connect beyond words: by reclaiming silence as an interlocutor that interrupts cultural homogeneity and creates space for the unheard.
  Speak Still shows that this silence, indeed, speaks volumes.

  10´Summary HOMO DEUS: A Brief...

  Yuval Noah Harari

  In "Homo Deus," Yuval Noah Harari explores the future of humanity and the evolution of societies in the 21st century. Unlike his previous book, "Sapiens," which analyzes humanity's past, "Homo Deus" focuses on what the future might hold, considering technological advancements, artificial intelligence, and new forms of social organization. Harari argues that humanity has largely overcome three fundamental historical problems: famine, plague, and war. However, new challenges have emerged, including the pursuit of immortality, absolute happiness, and the deification of humans. 
   In "Homo Deus," Harari takes us to a philosophical frontier where humanity must redefine its purpose in a world increasingly dominated by technology and artificial intelligence. Beyond survival and progress, the essential question is: What does it mean to be human when consciousness is no longer exclusive to our species? 
   The challenge of the 21st century is not just technological but also spiritual: finding a new sense of purpose in a world where human identity is no longer the center of the universe.

  The Epic of Gilgamesh - The...

  The Epic of Gilgamesh stands as one of the greatest literary works of the ancient world and the oldest surviving epic poem in human history. Originating from ancient Mesopotamia over 4,000 years ago, it was inscribed on clay tablets in cuneiform script and preserved through centuries of oral tradition. This epic tells the story of Gilgamesh, the mighty king of Uruk, whose adventures, friendships, and struggles with mortality continue to captivate readers to this day. As both a historical and mythical figure, Gilgamesh represents the universal human desire for glory, wisdom, and eternal life.  
    
  The epic was rediscovered in the 19th century among the ruins of the great Assyrian library of King Ashurbanipal in Nineveh. Scholars painstakingly translated its fragmented tablets, revealing a narrative that predates even the Homeric epics of Greece. Its influence can be seen in later mythologies, including biblical and classical traditions, with themes and motifs that echo throughout world literature. The story’s philosophical depth, particularly its exploration of human limitations and the acceptance of mortality, remains profoundly relevant.  
    
  Central to the Epic of Gilgamesh are its rich mythological elements, which reflect the beliefs and values of ancient Mesopotamian civilization. The gods play an active role in shaping the fate of mortals, highlighting the intricate relationship between divine forces and human ambition. From the creation of Enkidu as Gilgamesh’s equal to the wrath of the gods following their defiance, the narrative explores the balance between power and responsibility. The story also delves into themes of friendship, grief, and self-discovery, making it a timeless reflection of the human condition.
