Sinopsis

In 'The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll (Vol. 1-12)', Ingersoll presents a comprehensive array of his lectures, essays, and writings that champion rational thought, secularism, and humanism. His eloquent prose defies the conventions of his time, employing a fervent oratory style that engages the reader through wit and passionate reasoning. The collection covers a spectrum of topics, including religion, ethics, politics, and science, reflecting the intellectual climate of the late 19th century, where skepticism towards traditional beliefs gained momentum amid the burgeoning ideas of the Enlightenment and the rise of modern science. Robert Green Ingersoll, often referred to as the 'Great Agnostic,' was a prominent orator, lawyer, and political figure whose advocacy for free thought, civil liberties, and separation of church and state positioned him as a key voice of his era. His background in law and his exposure to the socio-political upheavals of the post-Civil War United States greatly influenced his ideas, which he articulated with passionate conviction through his extensive writings and public speaking engagements. This monumental compilation is essential for readers interested in the foundations of modern freethought and secular philosophy. Ingersoll's incisive critiques and engaging rhetoric not only challenge dogmatic beliefs but also inspire critical thinking, making this work a vital addition to any library of political thought and philosophy.

*Winner of the Lowell Thomas Award for Best Travel Book*  
An American woman determined to learn the Arabic language travels to the Middle East to pursue her dream in this “witty memoir” (Us Weekly).  
Join Zora O’Neill for a grand tour through the Middle East, to laugh with her in Egypt, delight in the stories she passes on from the Gulf region, and find yourself transformed by her experiences in Lebanon and Morocco. She’s packed her dictionaries, her unsinkable sense of humor, and her talent for making fast friends of strangers. From quiet, bougainvillea-lined streets to the lively buzz of crowded medinas, from families’ homes to local hot spots, she brings a part of the world that is often flattened by news headlines into real and colorful relief.    
A natural storyteller with an eye for the deeply absurd and the deeply human, O’Neill explores the indelible links between culture and communication. A powerful testament to the dynamism of language, All Strangers Are Kin reminds us that learning another tongue leaves you rich with so much more than words. 
“Zora O’Neill is a wonderful writer, a hakawati who can spin a tale with the best of them.” —Rabih Alameddine, author of The Hakawati and An Unnecessary Woman 
“Wry, witty, and charmingly erudite, this lovely book goes through the looking glass of the Arabic language and emerges with a radiant image of the Arab world.” —Diana Abu-Jaber, author of Life Without a Recipe, Crescent, The Language of Baklava, and others
