Beschreibung

Oscar Wilde, Art and Morality: A Defence of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' delves into the intricate relationship between aestheticism and ethics in Wilde's seminal work. Through a collection of critical essays and scholarly analyses, this book explores the themes of beauty, morality, and the duality of human nature that permeate Wilde's novel. The contributions from various authors contextualize Wilde's exploration of art's role in society and the contentious moral implications that arise from the pursuit of pleasure, making it a significant discourse in Victorian literature and the broader context of literary criticism. The authors contributing to this volume draw upon diverse academic backgrounds, reflecting the multifaceted influences that shaped Wilde's philosophies. Wilde, a prominent figure in the Aesthetic Movement, faced considerable backlash for his views on art and morality, especially in relation to the public scandal surrounding his life. This collection highlights the ongoing relevance of Wilde's insights, revealing how his experiences and intellect contributed to a rich tapestry of thought that challenges the dichotomy of art for art's sake versus its moral responsibilities. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of Wilde's thought and the societal impact of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray.' It invites scholars and enthusiasts alike to engage with the provocative questions of art's influence on morality, making it a crucial addition to the libraries of literary critics, students, and Wilde aficionados.

    Why does your partner feel so far away... when they're lying right next to you? 
    You used to laugh more. Touch more. Understand each other without saying a word. 
    Now? The silence feels heavier than the arguments. 
    And yet, deep down, you know the connection isn’t gone — it’s just buried. Under stress, routine, misunderstandings, unspoken disappointments. 
    But here’s the truth: 
    Communication isn’t just about “talking.” It’s about knowing each other — truly, deeply — even in the messiest, most vulnerable moments. 
    This audiobook is your quiet, unfiltered guide back to that connection. 
    You’ll finally stop guessing how your partner feels. You’ll stop rehearsing what to say. 
    Instead, you’ll start hearing each other again — and feeling heard, too. 
    Inside, you’ll discover how to: 
    •	Decode your partner’s emotional style — and your own 
    •	Get past surface-level “issues” to uncover what’s really going on 
    •	Use empathy to defuse tension instead of escalating it 
    •	Build trust through small, everyday moments — not big declarations 
    •	Spot the patterns that keep fueling arguments (and change them without blame) 
    •	Reconnect without needing hours of therapy or impossible compromises 
    •	Understand how childhood, past relationships, and personal goals shape your dynamic

    •	Create shared goals without losing your identity 
    •	Repair emotional intimacy — even if things feel fragile right now 
    If you're ready to drop the defenses, clear the confusion, and feel close again — for real this time…You won’t just want this. You’ll need it.

    Did you know that Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world? Or that Brazil got its name from a tree? 
    Brazil has a rich and complicated history that few outside South America know about. It leads the world in some of the most profitable exports (gold, sugar, oil, and coffee,) yet Brazil has one of the largest wealth disparities in the world and is known for crime and poverty. It is also an ethnically diverse country with a rich, distinct nationality and culture, yet the Brazilians seem to be at odds with each other. Would you be surprised to learn that its history has something to do with that? 
    Brazil has fertile soil perfect for agriculture, as well as gold and other profitable resources, yet at the beginning of colonization, no European nation wanted to colonize it. We will explore Brazil’s prehistory and why the colonists were so hesitant to settle there. Once they did, though, Brazil’s history was forever changed. 
    While Brazil is one of the most recognized South American countries, its history is mostly unknown to the general public. This is partly because its landscape is incapable of preserving historical artifacts and partly because its history tends to be overshadowed by other countries in the Western Hemisphere. This audiobook will bring Brazil’s history alive, giving you insight into its rich past and a peek at what Brazil has been dealing with recently. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn about the following: The origins of Brazil’s first people The diets, lifestyles, and beliefs of Brazil’s native population The Europeans’ disinterest in Brazil Portugal’s convoluted colonization of Brazil Brazil’s sugar and coffee industries The church and its conversion of the native population

    "My good friends," the mustached, bony man with thick eyebrows and large, strong teeth somewhat reminiscent of those of a horse, shouted to the crowds from the second-floor window of his house at 10 Downing Street, "this is the second time in our history, that there has come back to Downing Street from Germany peace with honor. I believe it is peace for our time." The man addressing the crowd, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, had just returned from the heart of Nazi Germany following negotiations with Adolf Hitler, and the crowd gathered outside the English leader's house on September 30, 1938 greeted these ringing words with grateful cheers.  
    Of course, the Munich Agreement is widely reviled today and is held up as the epitome of appeasement, but historians still debate its effects on the Second World War, as well as Neville Chamberlain's character and motivations. Some believe the attempted appeasement of Nazi Germany hastened, or even caused, the mayhem occupying the next seven years. Others believe that the pact merely failed to alter war's inevitable arrival in either direction. Historians and authors alternately interpret Chamberlain as a bumbling, arrogant fool, a strong-willed statesman who simply miscalculated the nature of Hitler and Nazi Germany. Another possible interpretation, with considerable documentary support, asserts Chamberlain wished to enlist Germany's aid against the state most Europeans perceived as the true threat of the era, the Soviet Union.  
    	Europe’s attempts to appease him, most notably at Munich in 1938, failed, as Nazi Germany swallowed up Austria and Czechoslovakia by 1939. Italy was on the march as well, invading Albania in April of 1939. The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1 of that year. Two days later, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany, and World War II had begun in earnest.
