True Manliness - From the Writings of Thomas Hughes

Thomas Hughes

Sinopse

In "True Manliness," Thomas Hughes offers a compelling exploration of the virtues and responsibilities that define true manhood in Victorian society. Through a rich tapestry of anecdotes, moral philosophy, and social critique, Hughes articulates a vision of masculinity that transcends mere bravado and adventurism, advocating for qualities such as integrity, compassion, and the pursuit of noble ideals. The literary style blends didactic prose with vivid storytelling, reflecting the era's preoccupation with moral reform and the shaping of character in young boys and men. This book emerges as a cultural artifact, resonating with contemporary themes of identity and ethics while contextualizing them within its historical framework. Hughes, an influential Victorian author and educator, was deeply invested in issues of education, reform, and social justice. His experiences as a schoolmaster and a member of the Christian Socialist movement shaped his perspective on the importance of character development in young men. Drawing from personal convictions and societal observations, Hughes's desire to foster a more altruistic version of masculinity stemmed from a larger goal of improving society through individual moral progress. "True Manliness" is a profound read for those seeking to understand the complexities of male identity in a bygone era, as well as for modern readers grappling with similar themes. Hughes's insights provide both a reflective lens and an inspirational guide on the qualities that define a true man. This book remains a timeless exploration of moral integrity, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of masculinity.

Bohemian Club The: The History...

Editors Charles River

Conspiracy theories, and particularly the belief that elements of the world are secretly controlled by individuals or groups, have been around for as long as people have lived in groups. Perhaps that’s inevitable - after all, those who are excluded from power are very likely to be inclined to see their position not as an outcome of their own choices or situation but because of the secret machinations of shadowy groups.
One topic that has been a constant in Internet debates is the group known as the Bohemian Club. Founded in 1872 in San Francisco, this began as a club for journalists with an interest in the arts, but over the subsequent 150 years, it appears to have changed into a vehicle for the annual conclave of some of the most wealthy and powerful men on the planet. Each year, hundreds of men gather in a luxurious camp known as Bohemian Grove in a remote forest in California to do something.
Just what it is they do is a secret, which has inevitably led to some intense speculation. Is it no more than a fun-filled frolic where the super-rich and powerful can go to escape their cares for a few days, or is it something more sinister, a cabal in which secret decisions are made that affect everybody else? Finding out about the Bohemian Club and the annual gatherings at Bohemian Grove isn’t easy. Most of those invited to join this exclusive club remain members until they die, meaning there are no disaffected former members willing to talk about what goes on there. Current members are unwilling to talk about the club or its activities.
It’s this secrecy that has led to some bizarre speculation about just what it is that happens in Bohemian Grove every summer. Coming up with answers is no easy feat, as the group takes its secrecy seriously and members have the wealth and power to make sure the club’s business stays secret.
