Sinopse

Lyric Forms explores the captivating world of lyric poetry, tracing its evolution and cultural significance across history. This book argues that lyric poetry is not a static art form but a dynamic reflection of social, political, and intellectual landscapes. Lyric poetry, with examples like sonnets, odes, ballads, and haikus, has origins in ancient Greece, Rome and the Near East, evolving through medieval Europe and Renaissance Italy. The book examines how these forms reflect cultural identities, express social commentary, and preserve cultural memory, providing insights into the human condition across time and cultures.

 
By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the book connects literary analysis with history, anthropology, and sociology. Lyric Forms begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of lyric poetry, then delves into its historical development and structural characteristics, culminating in an exploration of its cultural significance.

 
This book is unique in its emphasis on the interconnectedness of lyric poetry across cultures and historical periods. It's a valuable resource for students, scholars, and general readers interested in poetry, literature, and cultural studies, offering a comprehensive and engaging introduction to this rich art form.

The Devil’s Defender - My...

John Henry Browne

In the tradition of bestselling legal memoirs from Johnnie Cochran, F. Lee Bailey, Gerry Spence, and Alan Dershowitz, John Henry Browne’s The Devil’s Defender recounts his tortuous education in what it means to be an advocate—and a human being. 
For the last four decades, Browne has defended the indefensible. From Facebook folk hero the “Barefoot Bandit” Colton Moore, to Benjamin Ng of the Wah Mee massacre and Kandahar massacre culprit Sergeant Robert Bales, Browne’s unceasing advocacy and the daring to take on some of the most unwinnable cases—and nearly win them all—has led 48 Hours’ Peter Van Sant to call him “the most famous lawyer in America.” But although the Browne that America has come to know cuts a dashing and confident figure, he has forever been haunted by his job as counsel to Ted Bundy, the most infamous serial killer in American history. 
Browne, a drug- and alcohol-addicted yet wildly successful defense attorney who could never let go of the case that started it all, here asks himself the question others have asked him all along: Does defending evil make you evil too?
