Sinossi

UPTON SINCLAIR: 29 Books in One Volume presents an expansive and insightful collection of the author'Äôs literary oeuvre, showcasing his mastery of social realism and commitment to social justice. This comprehensive anthology encompasses Sinclair's most impactful works, including the groundbreaking 'The Jungle,' which revealed the grim realities of the meatpacking industry, alongside his lesser-known yet equally poignant novels. Sinclair's prose is characterized by its vivid imagery and unflinching portrayal of societal ills, making his writing resonate within the muckraking traditions of late 19th and early 20th century American literature, as he sought to illuminate the injustices of capitalism and advocate for reform. Upton Sinclair was not only a prolific novelist but also a passionate activist whose experiences as a social reformer fueled his narratives. Born in 1878 into a family that struggled financially, he witnessed firsthand the systemic inequalities that plagued society. His commitment to socialism, which deepened during his time in the muckraking movement, catalyzed his desire to spark change through literature, ultimately leading him to pen this expansive collection. This anthology is essential reading for anyone interested in American literature, social history, and the transformative power of writing. Sinclair'Äôs eloquent yet confrontational style invites readers to engage with the fundamental issues of their time, making 'UPTON SINCLAIR: 29 Books in One Volume' a vital addition to both literary and activist libraries.

    The book chronicles, in poetic form, the life of a woman who in three distinct and significant life events feels she is "the other woman" to her husband, to her child, and even to herself rather than the woman who is "good enough" just as she is. Not until she loses her eyesight does she finally allow herself to stop putting herself aside and be who she always has been…a strong, insightful, creative, resilient, faith driven, funny, and fun-loving woman; a Resurrected Woman!
    
    Additionally, this beautifully written and beautifully designed memoir allows the reader to find connections in some of the poems through Personal Reflection opportunities if desired.

    Does Max Nilsson live here?" These words from a woman I had never seen before changed my family's lives entirely. This is a true story about a man who lived a double life: "A new day, a new life" was his motto. The man I fell in love with and who became my fiancé was a fraud. Being found out by chance brought out his madness. He started a campaign of persistent harassment, and I couldn't get him out of my life. The more I delved into his life, the more appalling things I discovered. He screamed at me, telling me I could have anything I wanted if I stopped. Instead, I decided to discover the entire truth and was shocked by what I found out. I ran for my life.

    In Sacred Lessons: Teaching My Father How to Love, Mike de la Rocha explores how inherited definitions of manhood profoundly impacted his ability to connect with his father, his family, and ultimately himself, inviting readers on a transformative journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and love. 
      
    Sacred Lessons is a deeply moving and inspiring memoir for those seeking self-love and healing. Intensely personal, this memoir delves into the struggle men face in connecting with themselves and others, offering tools for personal growth and ways to build meaningful and authentic relationships in their lives. 
      
    Through his story, Mike de la Rocha reflects on his father’s legacy as a beloved professor who impacted tens of thousands of students, yet struggled to teach his own son how to be emotionally vulnerable. Reflecting on the most important relationships in his life, Mike explores the difficulty in communicating with his father and loved ones—a byproduct of a toxic culture that prohibits men from truly expressing themselves, and purposely doesn’t teach men how to give and receive love. Through these stories, we see how trauma is passed on intergenerationally and how to find ways to stop the cycle of harm. In the end, both Mike and his father teach each other the greatest lesson of all: the sacredness of the love between a father and a son. 
      
    Told with raw emotion and vulnerability, Sacred Lessons is the human story of the impact that history and culture have upon us all. This is a book for those of us seeking community in a time when too many of us feel alone, as well as a testimony to the legacy of a brilliant father, a brutal indictment of patriarchy, and an affirmation of the transformative power of love.

    A man, an amputee, a dual amputee, wanders the West alone on half of a foot to discover what life has to offer. He takes off, running the only way he still knows how, in a car. A car procured from selling his prosthetic leg (the expensive one) on eBay. 
    This true tale follows him on an adventure to angelic views in Zion National Park, to the top of the world in Death Valley, to mingling with the rainbow people, to pushing himself around in a wheelchair on the streets of Las Vegas, Nevada. The story turns back to how he found himself ‘hopping’ about and the drug addiction which caused it. 
    While purposely estranged from his family, he learns mingling with others to accept differences and to resist judgement. Also, the deep importance of family. And most importantly that ‘we are not defined by our mistakes’.
