Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In the realm of literary studies, feminist literary theory stands as a groundbreaking force, challenging traditional notions and illuminating the profound impact of gender on literary expression and interpretation. This book embarks on an intellectual journey through time, exploring the evolving perspectives on gender and identity in literature, from the historical context to contemporary digital spaces.

With a keen focus on intersectionality, this exploration delves into the intricate interplay of gender with other social identities, such as race, class, and sexuality. It unveils the ways in which gender shapes narrative structures, character development, and linguistic styles, casting light on the power dynamics and social constructs embedded within literary texts. This exploration extends beyond the boundaries of traditional literature to encompass digital storytelling, online communities, and the ever-evolving landscape of digital media.

Furthermore, this book delves into the complex relationship between gender and authorship, examining the challenges faced by women writers throughout history and the ongoing struggle for recognition and equality in the literary world. It sheds light on the gender bias inherent in the publishing industry, the canonization of literature, and the awarding of literary prizes. By interrogating these systems, this book aims to foster a more inclusive and diverse literary landscape that values and celebrates the voices of marginalized authors.

Through this comprehensive analysis, this book not only provides a deeper understanding of feminist literary theory but also challenges us to rethink our assumptions about gender, identity, and representation in literature. It prompts us to reconsider the ways in which gender influences our reading and interpretation of texts, ultimately inspiring a more nuanced and empathetic engagement with literature. As readers embark on this journey of discovery, enlightenment, and empowerment, they will recognize the transformative potential of feminist literary theory in shaping a more equitable and just world.

Is It Possible to End the...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Is it possible to end the thousand yesterdays? - 13 November 1968 
• Living together amicably, creatively, in complete relationship with one another 
– if that is what is essential then we need not only a different kind of mind but 
also a different quality of affection, love. 
• What is the function of a religious mind? 
• Our struggle in life is dualistic: good and bad, right and wrong, holy and unholy, 
the ideal and the fact. There is only the fact, not the ideal. 
• Is it possible to look at life as though you are looking for the first time? 
• What is the content of the unconscious? It is the racial residue, the traditional, 
the family, the personal. It is as trivial as the conscious mind. 
• Q: It seems to me that the ‘I’, the ego only exists in relation to other things. 
Could you comment on this? 
• The impossible becomes possible only when you discard the impossibility of it. 
To find out anything you must go beyond the impossible. 
• Q: What do you mean by meditation? 
• There is no ‘how’.

Letters From Everest:...

George Mallory

‘An extraordinary treasure trove’ Andrew Marr
A unique collection of unpublished letters from the climbing legend George Mallory to his family, revealing his innermost thoughts about people, places and mountains.
On the 8th of June, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were seen through a telescope on the upper slopes of Mount Everest. They were never seen alive again. In 1999, Mallory’s body was found below the ridge where he was last seen. In the 100 years since his disappearance, many words have been written about Mallory, but very little has ever been published of his own thoughts.
Letters from Everest is an eye opening set of personal letters from Mallory to his family, collected and published for the first time by his great-nephew. In the letters, Mallory is completely open about his life, his climbing and especially the three Everest Expeditions he was a part of – 1921, 1922 and the last in 1924. His writing is full of extraordinary insights – most of which have never been published in any form. They are a unique collection – an actual reflection, possibly the one and only, of the thoughts of a climbing legend who walked into history a century ago.
In this non-fiction biography, Mallory's letters reveal the raw and unfiltered thoughts of a man who dared to challenge nature. His experiences, his fears, his triumphs, all laid bare in this literary collection, make Letters from Everest a must-read for anyone fascinated by the world of mountaineering and exploration.
