Sinopsis

In "At Gettysburg - What a Girl Saw and Heard of the Battle," Tillie Pierce Alleman presents a vivid, first-person account of the Battle of Gettysburg through the eyes of a young girl. Her narrative combines the immediacy of a memoir with the fervent patriotic spirit of her time, offering readers a rare perspective on a pivotal moment in American history. Written with poignant detail, Alleman's prose captures not only the chaos of battle but also the resilience of the human spirit amidst despair. The book is situated in the broader context of Civil War literature, which often overlooks the voices of women and children, making it a unique contribution to this genre. Tillie Pierce Alleman, born in 1843 in Pennsylvania, witnessed the Battle of Gettysburg at the tender age of 15. Her experiences during this time were influenced by her strong family ties and the tumultuous events surrounding her. After the war, she felt compelled to document her memories, not just to preserve her personal history but to contribute to the collective memory of a nation grappling with the ramifications of civil strife. Her insights provide an invaluable lens through which to understand the emotional landscape of the era. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in Civil War history, women's narratives, and the cultural implications of war. Alleman's youthful perspective adds a layer of innocence and poignancy that enriches the historical account, making it an essential read for both scholars and casual readers alike. Engage with her story and reflect on the profound impact of history on personal lives.

    The gripping courtroom drama of a Brooklyn-born Englishman who became the voice of Nazi Germany, by "one of the most brilliant and erudite journalists of the century" (The New York Times). 
     
     
     
    In 1945, the New Yorker commissioned star reporter Rebecca West to cover the London trial of William Joyce, who stood accused by the British government of aiding the Third Reich. Joyce was alleged to have hosted a radio program, Germany Calling, devoted to Nazi propaganda and calls for a British surrender. 
     
     
     
    The legal case against Joyce (known as "Lord Haw-Haw" for his supposedly posh accent) proved to be tenuous and full of uncertainties. Yet each new piece of evidence added to West's timeless portrait of a social reject who turned to the far right, who rose through the ranks without ever being liked, and who sought validation through a set of shared hatreds—of elites, of communists, and especially of Jews. 
     
     
     
    As a work of psychological suspense, Rebecca West's Radio Treason anticipates Truman Capote, Janet Malcolm, and Joan Didion at their best. As a study in political extremism, as Katie Roiphe writes in her foreword, "It is as if Lord Haw-Haw has been transported from her time into ours."

    This book is the first in-depth account of the uprising in Iran that began on September 16, 2022, when a young woman, Mahsa Amini, was killed by the morality police. In the months that followed, protests and demonstrations erupted across Iran, representing the most serious challenge to the Iranian regime in decades. 
     
     
     
    Women have played a key role in these protests, refusing to wear a hijab and cutting their hair in public to chants of 'Woman, Life, Freedom'. In Farhad Khosrokhavar's account, these protests represent the first truly feminist movement in Iran, and one of the first in the Muslim world, where women have been in the vanguard. There have been many movements in the Muslim world in which women have taken part, but rarely have women—and especially young women—been the driving force. The Mahsa Movement also championed non-Islamic, secularized values, based on the joy of living, the assertion of bodily freedom, and the quest for gender equality and democracy. 
     
     
     
    Khosrokhavar gives a full account of the context of and background to the events triggered by the killing of Mahsa Amini, analyzes the character of the Mahsa Movement and the regime's repressive response to it, and draws out its broader significance as one of the most significant feminist movements and political uprisings in the Islamic world.

    Thoreau? I know him! Well, I know the name. I’m sure I know who he is… don’t I? The nature guy, right? 
    Henry David Thoreau’s spiritual life is a riddle. Thoreau’s passionate critique of formal religion is matched only by his rapturous descriptions of encounters with the divine in nature. He fled the church only to pursue a deeper communion with a presence he felt at the heart of the universe. He called this illimitable presence many names, but he often called it God. 
    In Thoreau’s God, Richard Higgins invites seekers — religious or otherwise — to walk with the great Transcendentalist through a series of meditations on his spiritual life. Thoreau offers us no creed, but his writings encourage reflection on how to live, what to notice, and what to love. Though his quest was deeply personal, Thoreau devoted his life to communicating his experience of an infinite, wild, life-giving God. By recovering this vital thread in Thoreau’s life and work, Thoreau’s God opens the door to a new understanding of an original voice in American religion that speaks to spiritual seekers today.
