Sinopsis

Join two distinguished generals and Socrates in a search for the definition of courage, only to find that even experienced soldiers struggle to articulate the virtue they embody. The conversation moves from the specific training of young men to the broader nature of bravery, exposing the limitations of conventional wisdom. Despite the failure to reach a conclusive definition, the dialogue illustrates the importance of intellectual humility and the complexity of moral education. It serves as a timeless reminder that possessing a virtue does not necessarily equate to understanding it.

    In this book Tiya Miles explores the popular yet troubling phenomenon of "ghost tours," frequently promoted and experienced at plantations, urban manor homes, and cemeteries throughout the South. As a staple of the tours, guides entertain paying customers by routinely relying on stories of enslaved black specters. But who are these ghosts? Examining popular sites and stories from these tours, Miles shows that haunted tales routinely appropriate and skew African American history to produce representations of slavery for commercial gain. "Dark tourism" often highlights the most sensationalist and macabre aspects of slavery, from salacious sexual ties between white masters and black women slaves to the physical abuse and torture of black bodies to the supposedly exotic nature of African spiritual practices. Because the realities of slavery are largely absent from these tours, Miles reveals how they continue to feed problematic "Old South" narratives and erase the hard truths of the Civil War era. In an incisive and engaging work, Miles uses these troubling cases to shine light on how we feel about the Civil War and race, and how the ghosts of the past are still with us.

    Mothercare - On Obligation Love...

    Brilliantly original novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman became one of nearly 53 million Americans who care for a sick family member when her mother developed an unusual and little understood condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. 
     
     
     
    Instantly, Tillman's independent and spirited mother went from someone she knew to someone else, a woman entirely dependent on her children—an eleven-year process through which her mother underwent many surgeries and some misdiagnoses, while the family navigated consultations and confrontations with doctors, adjusting to the complexity of her cognitive issues, including memory loss. 
     
     
     
    With her notoriously exquisite writing style and reputation as a "rich noticer of strange things" (Colm Toíbín), Tillman describes, without flinching, the unexpected, heartbreaking, and frustrating years of caring for a sick parent. 
     
     
     
    Mothercare is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver, responsible for the life of another—a parent, loved or not, or a friend. This story may be helpful, informative, consoling, or upsetting, but it never fails to underscore how impossible it is to get the job done completely right.

    Searching, propulsive, and deeply spiritual, Accordion Eulogies is an odyssey to repair a severed family lineage, told through the surprising history of a musical instrument 
     
     
     
    Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez never knew his grandfather. Stories swirled around this mythologized, larger-than-life figure: That he had abandoned his family, and had possibly done something awful that put a curse on his descendants. About his grandfather, young Noé was sure of only one thing: That he had played the accordion. Now an adult, reckoning with the legacy of silence surrounding his family's migration from Mexico, Álvarez resolves both to take up the instrument and to journey into Mexico to discover the grandfather he never knew. 
     
     
     
    Álvarez travels across the US with his accordion, meeting makers and players in cities that range from San Antonio to Boston. He uncovers the story of an instrument that's been central to classic American genres, but also played a critical role in indigenous Mexican history. Like the accordion itself, Álvarez feels trapped between his roots in Mexico and the US. As he tries to make sense of his place in the world—as a father, a son, a musician—he gets closer to uncovering the mystery of his origins.

    Mythology has always been a reflection of human culture, shaping beliefs, traditions, and the way people understand the world. Across Asia, an incredibly diverse range of myths and legends has developed over thousands of years, creating a rich spiritual tapestry that continues to influence daily life. These myths tell stories of powerful deities who govern the heavens, fearsome demons that bring destruction, and legendary heroes whose deeds inspire generations. Whether found in Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, or Taoist traditions, these stories reveal deep cultural values and offer insights into the forces that ancient civilizations believed controlled their destinies.  
      
    Deities and demons in Asian mythology are not merely figures of worship or fear; they serve as representations of human emotions, natural phenomena, and moral lessons. Many gods and spirits embody forces of nature—thunder, wind, fire, and water—while others symbolize virtues such as wisdom, courage, and compassion. Some deities are benevolent protectors, while others test humanity through trials and temptations. Meanwhile, demons and malevolent spirits serve as cautionary figures, reminding people of the consequences of greed, arrogance, or disobedience to the divine order. These myths have been passed down through oral tradition, sacred texts, and artistic expressions, evolving over time yet retaining their core significance.
