Carmilla & The Well of Loneliness

Sheridan Le Fanu, Radclyffe Hall

Beschreibung

'Carmilla & The Well of Loneliness' presents a poignant exploration of alienation and identity through the lens of both gothic and modernist literary styles. This anthology juxtaposes Radclyffe Hall's groundbreaking reflections on sexual identity with Sheridan Le Fanu's eerie, classic vampire tale, crafting a nuanced dialogue on the societal peripheries. The collection showcases an exceptional range of narrative techniques, from Le Fanu's dense, atmospheric horror to Hall's introspective, realist prose, allowing the themes of exclusion and otherness to resonate profoundly in their disparate, yet curiously parallel worlds. The works stand as cultural landmarks, extending a literary bridge between the Victorian supernatural and the 20th-century quest for personal authenticity. Both Radclyffe Hall and Sheridan Le Fanu were pioneers in their respective fields, challenging societal norms and expanding the horizons of the literary landscape. Hall's work aligns with early 20th-century movements toward realism and psychological narration, while Le Fanu's contributions laid foundations for the gothic genre in the 19th century. Their narratives, enriched by distinct historical and cultural backgrounds, collectively offer a multifaceted examination of the human condition when confronted by societal rejection and self-discovery. 'Carmilla & The Well of Loneliness' is indispensably valuable to scholars and enthusiasts of literature who seek to understand the evolution of narrative forms and themes concerning marginalization. This anthology invites readers to traverse through varying epochs and styles, engaging with texts that have significantly influenced discussions on identity and conformity. For those keen on dissecting significant literary movements or exploring complex personal and cultural struggles, this collection proves an essential, enlightening companion.

The Unraveling - Reflections on...

Bob Bauer, Jon Meacham

Essential for anyone interested in modern American politics, get the book that former President Barack Obama on X calls "a deeply thoughtful book" and says, "couldn't be a more timely read." 
 
 
 
Part memoir, part rumination on the declining moral compass of the American political class, The Unraveling is the first book to place restoring political ethics at the center of the renewal of American democracy. Politics is a brutal game, but Bauer asks where does the line fall between the "hardball" of politics and attacks on the very foundation of democracy? Looking back on foryt-six years in the political arena, Bauer tries to better grasp what has gone wrong and to understand what shaped his own decisions and actions. He offers anecdotes, perspectives, and insights that are vitally relevant in our world today, including efforts in 2020 (and 2024) to defend our democratic system of elections from attack and distrust, and the struggles with social media, such as Meta, to combat disinformation in a post-truth politics. He writes about the various personal experiences along the way—the highs, the lows, and the absurd. Bauer presents a smart and serious look at our political culture and the role that he has played in shaping it. The Unraveling will be essential for anyone interested in American politics of the last fifty years—and the next.

Putting on a Show

Paul Connolly, Rob Mills

What’s going on behind the bravado of the ‘average Aussie bloke’? 
 
Rob Mills knows all about putting on a show. Since rising to fame on Australian Idol in 2003, Rob Mills has built a prolific career across television, film, stage and musicals, performing celebrated roles in shows such as Wicked, Jesus Christ Superstar, Grease, Neighbours and Dancing with the Stars. But he also knows that there’s often much more going on behind the scenes than what meets the eye.  
 
Following the untimely deaths of two friends, Rob Mills began questioning who he is as a person and a man. Soon his self-reflection shifted outwards, and he got to wondering how he fits into the category of ‘Aussie bloke’. Who is the average Aussie bloke, anyway, and does he even exist? What does he see as his purpose in the world? What is the state of his mental health? What does he think about gender roles, about family, sex and mateship, about violence and vulnerability? 
 
Charged by his naturally inquisitive nature, and with enough smarts to know he doesn’t have all the answers, Rob called on the help of experts and friends. This book is the result of all these questions: a fascinating, chatty, insightful and often hilarious deep dive into both Rob’s own life and that of the man on the street.

19th Century-Authors - Edgar...

Kelly Mass

This is a compilation of 3 different titles, which are about the following topics:
1: Charles Dickens is often remembered because of his Christmas Carol. And even though that is a very interesting novel, it wasn’t even his favorite. Some artists and authors claim that a work of art or a novel should be completely separated from the creator. Personally, I completely disagree. I think you can always find traces of psychology in a person’s work that are related to the things they experienced in their personal lives. And so, without further ado, I encourage you to pick up this short informational book. It will lay out some of the most important characters from his most famous novels and give you the background you need to understand the motives and creativity behind them.
2: Perhaps you have heard of Edgar Allan Poe. Perhaps not. Either way, this 19th-century author has received quite some fame for his works and his unique style. His mystery and gruesome horror stories, comedy, and other genres have reached far into the depths of American literature. Edgar Allan Poe had a life, a background worth studying. His experiences have led him to his career success, his published works, and many other honors.
3: Oscar Wilde was a wild one. His statements were bold, his career was successful, and his tongue was sharp. Not only did he disturb the common narrative of the nuclear family, the Catholic church, and the idea of patriotism, but he also blew many people away with his defense of his principles, his criticism on the state, philosophies on life itself, and more. Being open about being a homosexual in a time when it was unaccepted and even illegal, his life ended in imprisonment and exile. Yet, despite his orientation and his controversial preferences, his prose and poetry did not suffer. His travels through Europe taught him many fascinating lessons, which he expressed in his acting, his writing, etc.
