Summary

The "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1663 N.S" serves as a vivid and insightful chronicle of the daily life in 17th-century England, penned by one of its most astute observers. This meticulously detailed diary, with its candid reflections and lively anecdotes, presents a unique intersection of historical narrative and personal memoir. Pepys's literary style is marked by both intimate self-examination and an acute awareness of the political and social upheavals of his time, including the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London. His eloquent yet conversational prose invites readers into a world richly textured with both the mundane and the extraordinary, encapsulating the essence of Restoration England in a manner that remains unparalleled in historical literature. Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was not only a renowned naval administrator but also a keen historian and a vital member of the English intellectual community. His firsthand experiences and varied interests, which ranged from naval affairs to theater, influenced his writing. The diary, initially intended as a private record, evolved into a crucial document that reveals the complexities of 17th-century life, reflecting both the personal joys and societal challenges of the era. Readers seeking a profound understanding of early modern England will find Pepys's diary an indispensable resource. Its rich detail and accessibility make it suitable for both scholars and casual readers alike. Engaging with Pepys's observations not only enhances one's grasp of historical context but also invites reflection on the humanity that transcends time.

    Smarty-pants, wise guy, smart aleck, bigmouth, show-off. 
Our collective society has agreed, with good reason, to define a "know-it-all" with such a negative label.  
The Modern Know-it-all: A Handbook To Achieving An Infallible Worldview is a profound philosophical guide that completely flips the script on our world's common definition of a know-it-all. This enlightening literary journey dismantles the negative stereotype of the conventional "know-it-all" by introducing a transformative new archetype—the Modern Know-it-all—who attains wisdom through rigorous self-deconstruction, critical thinking, and a hybrid philosophical approach to life.  
The Modern Know-it-all challenges readers to reconsider deeply held beliefs, to uproot inherited delusions, and to build a resilient and evidence-based worldview anchored in reality, reason, and emotional balance. In the most unsuspecting way, this revolutionary perspective provides each open-minded reader the opportunity to truly become the smartest and wisest individual in every room entered hereon.

    MacArthur Fellow and National Humanities Medalist Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex and The Mind-Body Problem, returns with a revelatory book about the primal drive that in our species alone has been transformed into one of our most persistent and universal motivations: the longing to matter.Drawing on biology, psychology, and philosophy, Goldstein argues that this need to matter—and the various "mattering projects" it inspires—is the source of our greatest progress and our deepest conflicts: the very crux of the human experience.Goldstein brings this profound idea to life through unforgettable stories of famous and not-so-famous people pursuing their unique mattering projects. These portraits illuminate how our instinct for significance shapes identity, relationships, culture, and conflict—and they point the way to a future where we all might see that there is, fundamentally, enough mattering to go around.Deeply revealing and insightful, The Mattering Instinct is a must-listen for those curious about why we seek to matter to ourselves and others—and how this insatiable longing that drives us apart may be the key to finally understanding each other.

    In many ways, we've been telling the same stories, over and over, for the last 2300 years. This book will show you why, and how you can do it too. 
For centuries, dramatic writers have relied on Aristotelian principles to write their stories for the screen and stage—the same stories you stream and watch today. But for the first time ever, the timeless principles from Aristotle’s esteemed Poetics have been adapted for novelists. 
With succinct clarity, novelist Douglas Vigliotti shows you exactly how to write a novel using tried-and-true principles that have been used since antiquity to tell great stories. These principles are the foundation on which any story can be written. Whether you are writing your first or tenth novel, Aristotle for Novelists has something to offer any serious writer of fiction. It is both a challenge to writers to simplify their craft and a no-frills, impassioned outcry for novelists everywhere.
