The Literary Revolution - Modernist Aesthetics in the 20th Century

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the annals of literary history, the 20th century stands as a watershed moment, a period of profound transformation and radical experimentation that redefined the very essence of storytelling. This book takes readers on an enthralling journey through the labyrinthine corridors of modernism, a literary movement that shattered conventions, challenged assumptions, and opened up new vistas of expression.

Modernism, born out of the ashes of tradition and the tumult of a rapidly changing world, was a literary revolution that left an indelible mark on the landscape of letters. This book delves into the minds of some of the most celebrated modernist writers, exploring the motivations and inspirations that fueled their groundbreaking works. From James Joyce and Virginia Woolf to T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, we uncover the intricate tapestry of techniques and styles that defined this groundbreaking movement.

Through in-depth analysis and insightful commentary, this book illuminates the major themes and preoccupations of modernist literature. We explore the fragmentation and alienation of modern life, the search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world, and the complex relationship between the individual and society. We trace the evolution of literary movements from modernism to postmodernism, examining the ways in which writers continued to push boundaries and challenge conventions.

This book is not merely a historical account; it is an invitation to engage with some of the most thought-provoking and groundbreaking works of literature ever written. It is a celebration of the transformative power of words, their ability to challenge our assumptions, expand our horizons, and illuminate the complexities of the human experience. Whether you are a seasoned scholar or a curious reader eager to explore new literary frontiers, this book promises an intellectual and emotional journey that will leave you forever changed.

Delve into the depths of modernism and discover a world of literature that is at once challenging, rewarding, and utterly captivating. This book is your guide to a literary landscape that continues to inspire, provoke, and redefine our understanding of the world around us.

On the Origin of Species

Charles Darwin

"There is grandeur in this view of life."

In 1859, Charles Darwin published a book that would forever alter the course of human thought. On the Origin of Species introduced the world to the concept of Natural Selection—the process by which populations of living organisms adapt and change. Moving away from the static view of nature, Darwin presented a world of constant, slow, and magnificent transformation.

The Mechanism of Life: Through decades of meticulous observation—from the beak shapes of Galápagos finches to the breeding of domestic pigeons—Darwin laid out a compelling case for how biological diversity arises. He explains how favorable traits are preserved over generations, allowing species to fill specific niches in their environment.

A Masterpiece of Scientific Logic: Despite the controversy it initially sparked, On the Origin of Species is written with remarkable clarity and humility. Darwin anticipates and addresses the potential objections of his contemporaries, grounding his revolutionary ideas in overwhelming evidence from geology, embryology, and paleontology. It remains not just a textbook of biology, but a beautifully written tribute to the interconnectedness of all living things.

Explore the foundation of your own history. Purchase "On the Origin of Species" today and witness the dawn of modern biology.

Pertinax - The Son of a Slave...

Simon Elliott

The son of a former slave, Pertinax was the Roman Emperor who proved that no matter how lowly your birth, you could rise to the very top through hard work, grit and determination. 
 
 
 
Born in AD 126, Pertinax made a late career change from working as a grammar teacher to a position in the army. As he moved up the ranks and further along the aristocratic cursus honorum, he took on many of the most important postings in the Empire, from senior military roles in fractious Britain, the Marcomannic Wars on the Danube, to the Parthian Wars in the east. He held governorships in key provinces, and later consulships in Rome itself. When Emperor Commodus was assassinated, the Praetorian Guard alighted on Pertinax to become the new Emperor, expecting a pliable puppet. But Pertinax was nothing of the sort and when he then attempted to reform the Guard, he was assassinated. His death triggered the beginning of the "Year of the Five Emperors" from which Septimius Severus, Pertinax's former mentoree, became the ultimate victor. 
 
 
 
This previously untold story brings a fascinating and important figure out of the shadows. A self-made everyman, a man of principle and ambition, a role model respected by his contemporaries, Pertinax's remarkable story offers a unique and panoramic insight into the late 2nd century AD Principate Empire.

The Big Letdown - How Medicine...

Kimberly Seals-Allers

Pediatricians say you should but it's okay if you don't. The hospital says, "Breast is best," but sends you home with formula "just in case." Your sister-in-law says, "Of course you should!" Your mother says, "I didn't, and you turned out just fine." Celebrities are photographed nursing in public, yet breastfeeding mothers are asked to cover up in malls and on airplanes. Breastfeeding is a private act, yet everyone has an opinion about it. How did feeding our babies get so complicated? 
 
 
 
Journalist and infant health advocate Kimberly Seals Allers breaks breastfeeding out of the realm of "personal choice" and shows our broader connection to an industrialized food system that begins at birth, the fallout of feminist ideals, and the federal policies that are far from family friendly. The Big Letdown uncovers the multibillion-dollar forces battling to replace mothers' milk and the failure of the medical establishment to protect infant health. Weaving together research and personal stories with original reporting on medicine, big pharma, and hospitals, Kimberly Seals Allers shows how mothers and babies have been abandoned by all the forces that should be supporting families from the start—and what we can do to help.
