Summary

In "The Wisdom & The Philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson," the author delves deeply into the intricate philosophy of self-reliance, nature, and the spiritual undercurrents that define Emerson's oeuvre. This collection not only encapsulates Emerson's transcendentalist ideas but also elucidates his profound reflections on individuality, society, and the interconnectedness of all living things. The book's literary style is characterized by eloquent prose and vivid imagery, reflective of the 19th-century American literary renaissance, which situated Emerson as a pivotal figure in the development of modern thought. Through this comprehensive examination, readers are invited to explore the themes of intuition and the inherent goodness of both people and nature that permeate Emerson's writings. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was a philosopher, essayist, and poet whose intellectual journey was deeply influenced by the changing landscapes of American society and his transcendental beliefs. He emerged as a leading voice in the transcendentalist movement, advocating for a deeper connection with nature and a more profound understanding of the self. His experiences, including a dissatisfaction with organized religion and a search for personal truth, shaped his writings and reinforced his commitment to fostering intellectual independence. This enriching work is highly recommended for those seeking to understand the essential tenets of Emerson's philosophy and the enduring relevance of his wisdom in contemporary society. Whether you are a scholar, a student, or simply a curious reader, this book will inspire transformative thoughts and encourage a closer examination of your own beliefs and ideals.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
Race and gender have denied many their rightful place in literary history.  When we take time to look again we find remarkable jewels of astonishing merit that reveal just how many talented stories have emerged from the pens of these very special women.
