Sinopsis

In "George Sand: Some Aspects of Her Life and Writings," René Doumic presents a meticulous exploration of one of France's most influential literary figures, George Sand. Doumic employs a biographical approach interwoven with critical analysis, highlighting Sand's literary contributions against the backdrop of 19th-century French literature. He adeptly examines her complex narratives, thematic engagements with gender and society, and her place in the Romantic movement, offering insights that illuminate her often controversial yet pivotal role in the history of literature. The stylistic elegance of Doumic's prose evokes the nuance and subtleties of Sand's own writing, making this work both informative and engaging for readers and scholars alike. René Doumic, a prominent literary critic and historian, was deeply concerned with the evolution of French literature as a reflection of social change. His enthusiasm for Sand's work springboards from a broader examination of how women writers navigated a predominantly male literary landscape. Doumic's insights are informed by his extensive background in literary criticism, which allows him to provide both an analytical and empathetic lens through which Sand's life and contributions can be appreciated. This book is not merely an academic treatise but a necessary compendium for both admirers of George Sand and those who wish to delve deeper into the complexities of gender and literature during a transformative era. Doumic's nuanced perspective serves as an essential guide for understanding Sand's enduring legacy, making it a valuable addition to the bookshelf of any literary scholar or enthusiast.

    In the winter of 1650–51, 150 ragged Scottish prisoners of war arrived at Massachusetts Bay Colony, where they were sold as indentured laborers for twenty to thirty pounds each. Among them was Thomas Doughty, a common foot soldier who had survived the Battle of Dunbar. Doughty was among some 420 Scottish soldiers who were captured during the War of the Three Kingdoms, transported to America, and sold between 1650 and 1651. Their experiences offer a fresh perspective on seventeenth-­century life. 
     
     
     
    The Involuntary American: A Scottish Prisoner's Journey to the New World describes Doughty's life as a soldier, prisoner of war, exile, servant, lumberman, miller, and ultimately free landowner. It follows him and his peers through critical events: the apex of the Little Ice Age, the War of the Three Kingdoms, the colonization of New England, the burgeoning transatlantic trade in servants and slaves, King Philip's and King William's wars, and the Salem witch crisis. 
     
     
     
    The Involuntary American demonstrates how even indi­viduals of humble circumstances were swept into the mael­strom of the First Global Age. It expands our understanding of immigration to the colonies, colonial servitude, the link­ages and tensions between Europe, Massachusetts Bay, and America's northeastern frontier, and of New England socie­ty in the early colonial period.

    What is masculinity? Dominating the world around us, with deadly gun violence, male suicide rates and incels on Reddit, masculinity is perceived to be 'toxic', 'fragile' and 'in crisis'.In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by the author, JJ Bola exposes masculinity as a performance that men are socially conditioned into. Using examples of non-Western cultural traditions, music and sport, he shines light on historical narratives around manhood, debunking popular myths along the way. He explores how LGBTQ men, men of colour, and male refugees experience masculinity in diverse ways, revealing its fluidity, how it's strengthened and weakened by different political contexts, such as the patriarchy or the far-right, and perceived differently by those around them.At the heart of love and sex, the political stage, competitive sports, gang culture, and mental health issues, lies masculinity: Mask Off is an urgent call to unravel masculinity and redefine it.

    A beautiful and engaging rendering of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. 
     
     
      
    The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities that have little relevance to our contemporary situations. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate—they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance," Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse.
