Sinossi

In "Life in the Clearings versus the Bush," Susanna Moodie crafts a vivid narrative that juxtaposes the civilized life of the settler with the untamed wilderness of Canada. Written in a richly descriptive literary style, the book serves as both a memoir and a social commentary, capturing the struggles, triumphs, and the harsh realities faced by early European settlers in the 19th century. Moodie's poignant observations and evocative prose transport readers into the heart of the Canadian bush, while her insightful comparisons highlight the stark contrasts between the comforts of colonial life and the challenges of nature. Susanna Moodie, born in England in 1803, immigrated to Canada with her husband in search of a better life. Her firsthand experiences as a settler, combined with her background in literature, inform her nuanced portrayal of life in the New World. Moodie's ability to articulate the complexities of identity, gender, and the immigrant experience stems from her own creative and challenging journey, making her a significant voice in Canadian literature. "Life in the Clearings versus the Bush" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intricacies of colonial life, nature, and the immigrant narrative. Moodie's keen observations and heartfelt reflections not only shed light on the past but also invite contemporary readers to ponder the enduring conflicts between civilization and wilderness.

Warriors - An Infantryman’s...

Robert Tonsetic

On the ground, in the air, and behind the lines, grunts made life-and-death decisions every day—and endured the worst stress of their young lives. 
 
 
 
It was the tumultuous year 1968, and Robert Tonsetic was Rifle Company commander of the 4th Battalion, 12th Infantry in Vietnam. He took over a group of grunts demoralized by defeat but determined to get even. Through the legendary Tet and May Offensives, he led, trained, and risked his life with these brave men, and this is the thrilling, brutal, and honest story of his tour of duty. Tonsetic tells of leading a seriously undermanned ready-reaction force into a fierce, three-day battle with a ruthless enemy battalion; conducting surreal night airmobile assaults and treks through fetid, pitch-black jungles; and relieving combat stress by fishing with hand grenades and taking secret joyrides in Hueys. 
 
 
 
During that fateful year, as unrest erupted at home and politicians groped for a way out of the war, Tonsetic and his men did their job as soldiers and earned the title "Warriors."

Friars and Filipinos

José Rizal

Friars and Filipinos is a critical and satirical essay in which José Rizal examines the deep-rooted influence of the Spanish colonial friars on Philippine society and governance. Written in response to an article by a Spanish writer, Rizal systematically critiques the hypocrisy, greed, and abuses of power committed by the religious orders, exposing how they manipulated both faith and politics to maintain control over the Filipino people. He contrasts their corruption with the dignity, intelligence, and potential of the Filipino native, advocating for justice, reform, and national consciousness. With clarity and passion, Rizal calls for an end to clerical dominance and the recognition of Filipino rights. This essay stands as a powerful indictment of colonial oppression and a vital piece of the intellectual foundation for Philippine nationalism.

Raja Yoga - Mastery of Mind and...

Clarice Bendleton

Raja Yoga, often referred to as the "Royal Path," is a systematic and disciplined approach to mastering the mind and attaining spiritual realization. It is one of the four primary paths of yoga, alongside Bhakti Yoga (the path of devotion), Karma Yoga (the path of action), and Jnana Yoga (the path of knowledge). Unlike other yogic paths that focus primarily on physical postures, devotion, or intellectual inquiry, Raja Yoga is centered on meditation and self-discipline, guiding the practitioner toward self-mastery and inner peace.
The foundation of Raja Yoga lies in the philosophy outlined in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, an ancient text that provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the workings of the mind and the process of achieving higher states of consciousness. Patanjali describes Raja Yoga as an eightfold path, also known as the Ashtanga (Eight Limbs) of Yoga, which serves as a structured roadmap for spiritual evolution. These eight limbs include ethical disciplines, physical postures, breath control, withdrawal of the senses, concentration, meditation, and ultimately, self-realization.
At its core, Raja Yoga teaches that the mind is both the greatest obstacle and the most powerful tool on the path to enlightenment. The human mind is often restless, filled with distractions, desires, and attachments that prevent one from experiencing true inner peace. Raja Yoga provides the techniques to tame this restless mind, bringing it under conscious control and aligning it with a higher state of awareness. Through meditation, a practitioner learns to transcend the fluctuations of thought, entering a state of stillness and clarity where deeper truths about existence and the self can be realized.
