Sinossi

In "Carlyle's Laugh, and Other Surprises," Thomas Wentworth Higginson adeptly weaves an intricate tapestry of essays that explore the interplay between humor and the profound weight of existential inquiry. The collection showcases Higginson's trademark literary style that blends sharp wit with poignant insights, earning a place within the rich tradition of 19th-century American essayists. Through his engagement with figures like Thomas Carlyle, Higginson not only reflects on the societal and philosophical currents of his time but also challenges prevailing notions of seriousness in literature, inviting readers to find levity in the gravitas of life. Thomas Wentworth Higginson was a prominent figure in American literature and a passionate advocate for social reform, deeply influenced by his engagement with abolitionism and women's rights. His role as a mentor to the literary genius Emily Dickinson further enriched his perspective on individuality and expression. These experiences undoubtedly shaped Higginson's understanding that humor can serve as a necessary counterbalance to the weighty issues of existence, encouraging a reevaluation of both literature and life. This collection is an essential read for those intrigued by the nuances of 19th-century thought and the role of humor in literature. Higginson'Äôs blend of erudition and amusement offers timeless revelations that resonate with contemporary readers, making it a vital addition to any literary enthusiast's library.

    Edward Estlin Cummings (October 14, 1894 - September 3, 1962), commonly known as e e cummings, was an American poet, painter, essayist, author, and playwright. During World War I, he worked as an ambulance driver and was imprisoned in an internment camp, which provided the basis for his 1922 novel The Enormous Room. The following year he published his first collection of poetry. Cummings wrote approximately 2,900 poems and is often regarded as one of the most important American poets of the 20th century. He is associated with modernist free-form poetry, and much of his work uses idiosyncratic syntax and lower-case spellings for poetic expression. In the following recordings, Cummings reads his poems "somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond" (1931), "next to of course god america i" (1926), "anyone lived in a pretty how town" (1940), "Buffalo Bill's (1920), "in Just–" (1920), i carry your heart with me(i carry it in)" (1952). The final audio clip is from a 1955 Cummings speech, "A Poet's Advice to Students."

    It is an explosive true story of survival, betrayal, and the moment America lost its grip on the Middle East. 
    On November 4, 1979, 52 Americans were taken hostage inside the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, an act that stunned the world and sparked a 444-day standoff that shattered U.S. diplomacy and changed global politics forever. 
    In this pulse-pounding narrative, acclaimed historian Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on the backroom deals, psychological torment, and international missteps that defined one of the longest hostage crises in modern history. Drawing from declassified documents, secret cables, and firsthand interviews, 444 Days brings to life the human drama at the heart of a geopolitical disaster. 
    When diplomacy fails, what remains: bluster, betrayal, or a better way forward?
