Sinopse

In 'The Rise of the Russian Empire,' Saki crafts a vivid tapestry of history that intertwines politics, culture, and the complexities of imperial ambition. With his distinctive wit and satirical style, Saki transports readers to the tumultuous landscape of 18th-century Russia, exploring the intricacies of power dynamics, the interplay of Eastern and Western influences, and the emergence of a formidable empire. The narrative is characterized by rich descriptions and astute characterizations, reflecting the author's keen observational skills and humor, while also contextualizing the sociopolitical changes that shaped modern Russia. H.H. Munro, better known by his pen name Saki, was a British writer born to a family deeply rooted in Imperial interests, which perhaps ignited his fascination with empire-building and historical narratives. Known for his sharp satire and rich literary flair, Saki's previous works often scrutinized societal norms and human folly. This background likely informed his exploration of Russia's ascent, as he delves into themes of ambition, desire for power, and the sometimes absurd consequences of such pursuits. Readers intrigued by historical narratives and those who appreciate a blend of humor with critical insights into power dynamics will find 'The Rise of the Russian Empire' an enlightening exploration. Saki's unique approach not only entertains but also challenges readers to reflect on the enduring impact of history on contemporary society.

    For some of us, the family is a source of love and support. But for many others, the family is a place of private horror, coercion, and personal domination. In a capitalist society, the private family carries the impossible demands of interpersonal care and social reproductive labor. Can we imagine a different future? 
     
     
     
    In Family Abolition, author M. E. O'Brien uncovers the history of struggles to create radical alternatives to the private family. O'Brien traces the changing family politics of racial capitalism in the industrial cities of Europe and the slave plantations and settler frontier of North America, explaining the rise and fall of the housewife-based family form. From early Marxists to Black and queer insurrectionists to today's mass protest movements, O'Brien finds revolutionaries seeking better ways of loving, caring, and living. Family Abolition takes us through the past and present of family politics into a speculative future of the commune, imagining how care could be organized in a free society.

    Literature after Feminism

    Recent commentators have portrayed feminist critics as grim-faced ideologues who are destroying the study of literature. Feminists, they claim, reduce art to politics and are hostile to any form of aesthetic pleasure. Literature after Feminism is the first work to comprehensively rebut such caricatures, while also offering a clear-eyed assessment of the relative merits of various feminist approaches to literature.Spelling out her main arguments clearly and succinctly, Rita Felski explains how feminism has changed the ways people read and think about literature. She organizes her book around four key questions: Do women and men read differently? How have feminist critics imagined the female author? What does plot have to do with gender? And what do feminists have to say about the relationship between literary and political value? Interweaving incisive commentary with literary examples, Felski advocates a double critical vision that can do justice to the social and political meanings of literature without dismissing or scanting the aesthetic.

    What if you could dive deeply within and understand why you interpret the world the way you do and behave a certain way in different situations? What if you could see, with vivid clarity, the unpolished aspects of someone’s character when making critical decisions involving them? Imagine the difference this would make when choosing your life partner, business partner, next employee, future employer or governing leaders. 
    In HUMAN BEING – illuminating the reality beneath the facade, Ashkan Tashvir supports you to adopt an ontological (‘let’s get real’) approach to understanding human beings – yourself and others. It follows his best-selling book, BEING, in which he deeply examines a radical paradigm he engineered after a decade of intensive studies called the Being Framework™ and the philosophy behind it. Explored in this book in a clear, tangible way, the Being Framework zooms in on, breaks down and articulates the qualities behind and drivers of our decisions, behaviours and actions. 
    Whether you are building a career, a startup, a family, a relationship or an organisation, this book provides you with the tools to identify and transform the elusive root causes behind the blockages holding you back and gives you a lens to observe the same in others. Ultimately, it supports you to prioritise your intentions, express your authentic self, enjoy successful relationships and lead a life of influence, well-being and fulfilment. Discover how to see through your and others’ Being by decoding the fundamental qualities that influence our behaviours and decisions and drive our results.
