Sinopse

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.

    Spiritualism in the Age of Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe 
     
     
     
    A woman wearing a black veil convenes a séance. A magician puts a volunteer into a trance. A fortune-teller leans over a crystal ball. Everyone knows what Victorian mysticism looks like because our modern imagery, language, and practice of magic borrows heavily from the Victorians. But we have little understanding of its spiritual, cultural, and historical foundations. 
     
     
     
    What made the Victorians turn to mediumship, hypnotism, and fortune-telling? What were they afraid of? What were they seeking? 
     
     
     
    This book explores the history of automatic writing, cartomancy, clairvoyance, and more. It reveals how Victorian belief in ghosts, fairies, and nature spirits shaped our celebrations of Halloween and Christmas. With historic examples and hands-on exercises, you will discover how spiritualism in the time of Jack the Ripper, Jane Eyre, "A Christmas Carol," and Dracula left such a profound impact on both the past and present.

    In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and master class, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the questions which run through it. 
     
     
      
    How might we go about capturing on the page the relationships that have formed us? How do we write about our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean for an author's way of writing, or living, to be dismissed as "navel-gazing"—or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong? 
     
     
      
    Drawing on her own path from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professor—via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia—Melissa Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower readers and writers alike, offering ideas—and occasional notes of caution—to anyone who has ever hoped to see themselves in a story.

    On a late September day in 480 BC, Greek warships faced an invading Persian armada in the narrow Salamis Straits in the most important naval battle of the ancient world. Overwhelmingly outnumbered by the enemy, the Greeks triumphed through a combination of strategy and deception. More than two millennia after it occurred, the clash between the Greeks and Persians at Salamis remains one of the most tactically brilliant battles ever fought. The Greek victory changed the course of western history—halting the advance of the Persian Empire and setting the stage for the Golden Age of Athens. 
     
     
     
    In this dramatic new narrative account, historian and classicist Barry Strauss brings this landmark battle to life. He introduces us to the unforgettable characters whose decisions altered history: Themistocles, Athens' great leader (and admiral of its fleet), who devised the ingenious strategy that effectively destroyed the Persian navy in one day; Xerxes, the Persian king who fought bravely but who ultimately did not understand the sea; Aeschylus, the playwright who served in the battle and later wrote about it; and Artemisia, the only woman commander known from antiquity, who turned defeat into personal triumph. Filled with the sights, sounds, and scent of battle, The Battle of Salamis is a stirring work of history.
