Sinopse

“Literary Desire” explores the multifaceted nature of human desire as depicted in literature across various cultures and historical periods. Challenging the notion of desire as a universal constant, the book argues that it is a socially and historically contingent phenomenon, shaped by power, gender, and class. The analysis connects literary representations with broader cultural understandings of desire, offering a unique perspective on how societal values influence individual aspirations.

 
Did you know that literary traditions have grappled with the question of desire for centuries? Or that understanding how desire is shaped by culture allows us to critically assess the values and assumptions embedded within literary texts?

 
The book examines the construction of desire within specific cultural contexts, the ethical implications of pursuing or suppressing desire, and the relationship between desire and narrative structure. It progresses from establishing a theoretical framework in the introduction to exploring specific manifestations of desire in different literary traditions, such as classical Greek tragedy and modern novels. Each chapter focuses on close readings of selected texts, analyzing how desire functions within the narrative and what it reveals about the characters and their world, supported by literary theory, historical context, and philosophical insights.

 
The conclusion explores the practical implications of this study, such as understanding the power of motivations behind certain desires.

    "Common Sense" is a political pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776. It played a crucial role in inspiring American colonists to take up arms against the British and fight for independence. 
    In the pamphlet, Paine argues that it is only common sense for the American colonies to break away from Britain and become an independent nation. He criticizes the British monarchy and the idea of hereditary succession, arguing that power should be based on merit and ability, not birthright. 
    Paine also argues that the British government has failed to protect the interests of the American colonists and that they should be free to govern themselves. He appeals to the sense of patriotism and self-interest of his readers, arguing that American independence would lead to greater prosperity and a better way of life. 
    Overall, "Common Sense" is a passionate and persuasive argument for American independence, written in clear and accessible language that appealed to a wide audience. It remains one of the most influential political writings in American history.

    The Mess of Me: Pain, Rejection, and the Fight to be Whole, is a raw, compassionate memoir about facing the truth we hide—and discovering that in the mess, we are still deeply loved.Joe Atinsky doesn’t offer a sanitized story or a tidy path to healing. Instead, he opens the door to his own lived experience—years of perfectionism, buried shame, spiritual pressure, and the unraveling of everything he thought would save him. But this isn’t a story about falling apart. It’s a story about what begins to grow when the hiding stops.With honesty and gentleness, Joe invites listeners into his journey—not to shock, but to show. To offer a voice for those who may never feel safe to share their pain out loud. Whether you’re walking through faith deconstruction, emotional exhaustion, identity confusion, or the long, quiet work of healing from childhood wounds—this story is here to meet you in your own mess.Through therapy, spiritual honesty, and the grace of real community, Joe finds a way forward. He doesn’t abandon faith—he rebuilds it. Not through performance, but through presence. Not by becoming someone else, but by finally becoming himself.The Mess of Me speaks to the silent parts inside us all. It’s for anyone who’s been told to be perfect, to be strong, to hold it together no matter the cost. And it’s for those ready to begin again—not by fixing what’s broken, but by honoring what’s real.In the mess, we are seen. In the mess, we are loved. In the mess, there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. And in that sacred space, wounded purpose can recover—and the real you can finally begin to live.

    An astonishing investigation into the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war – from the corridors of the Kremlin to the trenches of Mariupol. 
    The Russo-Ukrainian War is the most serious geopolitical crisis since the Second World War – and yet at the heart of the conflict is a mystery. Vladimir Putin apparently lurched from a calculating, subtle master of opportunity to a reckless gambler, putting his regime – and Russia itself – at risk of destruction. Why? 
    Drawing on over 25 years’ experience as a correspondent in Moscow, as well as his own family ties to Russia and Ukraine, journalist Owen Matthews takes us through the poisoned historical roots of the conflict, into the Covid bubble where Putin conceived his invasion plans in a fog of paranoia about Western threats, and finally into the inner circle around Ukrainian president and unexpected war hero Volodimir Zelensky. 
    Using the accounts of current and former insiders from the Kremlin and its propaganda machine, the testimony of captured Russian soldiers and on-the-ground reporting from Russia and Ukraine, Overreach tells the story not only of the war’s causes but how the first six months unfolded. 
    With its panoramic view, Overreach is an authoritative, unmissable record of a conflict that shocked Europe to its core. 
    In Overreach, Owen Matthews masterfully unravels the complex tapestry of history, geopolitics, and conflicts that have defined the Soviet Union. This top-tier work is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the wars and crimes that have shaped our world. 
    For fans of Simon Scarrow (The Honour of Rome), Antony Beevor (Russia), Bill Browder (Orden de embargo. Una historia real de blanqueo de dinero, asesinatos y...), Mark Galeotti (Russia’s Wars in Chechnya), and Robert Peston (WTF?).
