Synopsis

In 'The Buke of the Order of Knyghthood,' Ramon Llull delivers a profound exploration of chivalric ideals interwoven with spiritual and philosophical insights, reflecting the tumultuous cultural milieu of the late medieval period. This intricate work is characterized by its allegorical style, drawing upon not only the tradition of courtly literature but also the scholastic thought that permeated Llull's time. The text serves as both a moral guide and an instructive treatise, presenting knighthood as a noble pursuit requiring not only martial prowess but also intellectual and ethical virtues, inviting a renaissance of noble behavior in its readers. Ramon Llull, a 13th-century Catalan philosopher, writer, and mystic, was deeply influenced by the socio-religious dynamics of his time, particularly the Crusades and the Christian-Muslim encounters. His diverse experiences, ranging from his early life of courtly pleasure to devout pastoral endeavors, catalyzed his quest to unify faith and reason. Llull's writings often echo his commitment to intercultural dialogue and ethical living, which manifest vividly in his emphasis on the moral dimensions of knighthood. Readers seeking a rich historical context entwined with timeless ethical reflections will find 'The Buke of the Order of Knyghthood' a compelling addition to their literary journey. Its relevance endures in contemporary discussions about virtue, honor, and morality within both personal and public spheres, encouraging introspection and thoughtful engagement with the principles that underpin a just society.

    For over two-hundred years, capitalist systems have overtaken the global economy, spreading near-universal growth and opening the floodgates for limitless human potential. 
     
     
     
    Yet something is going terribly wrong in the world economy. 
     
     
     
    Creativity and faith in the future have been traded for a slippery slope of cautionary paranoia, popular despair, and political overreach by leaders who promise to hold back the tides, control the weather, and print prosperity with little clue as to what is actually going on. 
     
     
     
    This divergence did not begin with the Obama administration, the Trump presidency, the Gates Foundation, or George Soros, says leading futurist George Gilder. The cognitive dissonance and its harvest of confusion and despair reflects a deep misunderstanding at the heart of capitalism itself. 
     
     
     
    In Life After Capitalism, national bestselling author George Gilder explains how economics is not an incentive system but an information system. Redefining capitalism for the modern age, he reveals how free enterprise is a mind driven system, material resources are essentially as infinite as atoms, and what governs economic growth is human creativity—not merely a Marxist class struggle for power.

    What does it mean to be a body behind a screen, lost in the hustle of an online world? In our age of digital hyper-connection, Athena Dixon invites us to consider this question with depth, heart, and ferocity, investigating the gaps that technology cannot fill and confronting a lifetime of loneliness. 
     
     
     
    Living alone as a middle-aged woman without children or pets and working forty hours a week from home, more than three hundred fifty miles from her family and friends, Dixon begins watching mystery videos on YouTube, listening to true crime podcasts, and playing video game walk-throughs just to hear another human voice. She discovers the story of Joyce Carol Vincent, a woman who died alone, her body remaining in front of a glowing television set for three years before the world finally noticed. Searching for connection, Dixon plumbs the depths of communal loneliness, asking essential questions of herself and all of us: How have her past decisions left her so alone? Are we, as humans, linked by a shared loneliness? How do we see the world and our place in it? And finally, how do we find our way back to each other? 
     
     
     
    Searing and searching, The Loneliness Files is a groundbreaking memoir in essays that ultimately brings us together in its piercing, revelatory examination of how and why it is that we break apart.
