  Talking Cure - An Essay on the...

  Talking Cure is a timely and enticing excursion into the art of good conversation. Paula Marantz Cohen reveals how conversation connects us in ways that social media never can and explains why simply talking to each other freely and without guile may be the cure to what ails our troubled society. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on her lifelong immersion in literature and culture and her decades of experience as a teacher and critic, Cohen argues that we learn to converse in our families and then carry that knowledge into a broader world where we encounter diverse opinions and sensibilities. She discusses the role of food in encouraging conversation, the challenges of writing dialogue in fiction, the pros and cons of Zoom, the relationship of conversation to vaudeville acts, and the educational value of a good college seminar where students learn to talk about ideas. Cohen looks at some of the famous groups of writers and artists in history whose conversation fed their creativity, and details some of the habits that can result in bad conversation. 
   
   
   
  Blending the immediacy of a beautifully crafted memoir with the conviviality of an intimate gathering with friends, Talking Cure makes a persuasive case for the civilizing value of conversation and is essential listening for anyone interested in the chatter that fuels culture.

  The Reign of Terror -...

  The Reign of Terror did not emerge suddenly; rather, it was the result of years of social unrest, economic hardship, and political turmoil that set France on a course toward radicalization. The fall of the Ancien Régime, combined with growing revolutionary fervor, laid the foundation for the bloodshed that would follow. By understanding the conditions that gave rise to the Reign of Terror, we can better grasp the motivations of those who sought to reshape France through violence and fear. 
  The collapse of the Ancien Régime was driven by deep-seated inequalities between the ruling elite and the common people. For centuries, French society had been structured into three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners. While the first two estates enjoyed privileges and wealth, the Third Estate—comprising peasants, laborers, and the emerging bourgeoisie—bore the burden of heavy taxation and economic hardship. As Enlightenment ideas of liberty and equality spread, resentment toward the monarchy and aristocracy grew, igniting a revolutionary spirit among the oppressed classes. 
  Economic turmoil exacerbated tensions as France faced a severe financial crisis. Decades of war, extravagant spending by the monarchy, and a failing tax system left the country on the brink of collapse. The situation worsened in the late 1780s when poor harvests led to widespread food shortages. Soaring bread prices, the staple of the common people’s diet, fueled anger and desperation. As hunger and poverty gripped the nation, the belief that radical change was necessary gained momentum. In 1789, King Louis XVI, unable to resolve the crisis, convened the Estates-General, an assembly of representatives from all three estates. However, when the Third Estate was denied equal representation, they broke away and formed the National Assembly, marking the first significant challenge to monarchical authority.
