Sinossi

The Public vs. M. Gustave Flaubert is a compelling anthology that curates a range of public responses to the controversial works of the French novelist, particularly his seminal text, Madame Bovary. By juxtaposing literary critiques with public opinion from the 19th century through modern interpretations, this collection exemplifies an analytical style that melds historiography with literary theory. The book provides a profound examination of Flaubert's tumultuous relationship with society, encapsulating the literary tensions of realism and moral scrutiny that marked his era, all while illuminating how his subversive narratives challenged prevailing social norms. The authorial team behind this anthology comprises a diverse range of scholars, each bringing a unique perspective shaped by their own literary pursuits. Their collective expertise reflects an engagement with Flaubert's oeuvre, exploring his experimental techniques, thematic concerns, and the visceral responses his works elicited from the public. The contrasts between prevailing attitudes and Flaubert's unflinching realism reveal deeper societal anxieties about femininity, morality, and the evolving role of the artist. For readers intrigued by literary criticism, the complexity underlying Flaubert's work, and the oscillation between popular and critical reception, this anthology is a must-read. It serves not only as a scholarly exploration of Flaubert's impact on literature but also as a lens through which to consider broader themes of public perception, creativity, and the existential queries posed by art throughout history.

Discourses and Enchiridion

Epictetus

"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters."
Discourses and Enchiridion are foundational works of Stoic philosophy attributed to Epictetus, a former slave-turned-philosopher whose teachings emphasised that happiness comes not from external circumstances but from aligning one's desires with reality; and that in order to attain a good life through inner tranquillity, one must master one's desires, fulfil one's duties and practice right-thinking.

The Discourses consists of detailed teachings and dialogues delivered by Epictetus, covering various aspects of ethics, virtue, and the nature of reality, while Enchiridion is a concise summary of Epictetus' teachings, designed for practical application.

Both works stress the importance of personal responsibility, the necessity of self-examination, the pursuit of wisdom, and the cultivation of character as pathways to a fulfilling life.
Epictetus (c. 55 – 135 CE) was a Stoic philosopher who lived most of his life in Rome as a slave and who, after gaining his freedom, established a philosophical school. Epictetus deeply influenced later thinkers and continues to be a significant figure in philosophy, particularly in discussions of ethics and personal resilience.

American Fascism - How the GOP...

Brynn Tannehill

Trump is running for President again and American democracy is on the ropes and teetering on the brink of authoritarianism controlled by theocrats and oligarchs. With its cherished institutions hobbled, political norms trampled, guardrails severely damaged, and body politic divided by chasms of race and geography, can the U.S. survive another Trump administration dedicated to establishing de facto single party rule? In this compelling, comprehensive analysis, Brynn Tannehill draws on her expertise in studying the collapse of weak democracies around the globe and her previous research in law, political science, economics and right-wing populism to explain the trajectory of how we got here and the current threats we face. Most importantly, she analyzes what the characteristics of fascism are, if they are applicable to the base of the GOP today, and what that means for us should Trump succeed in establishing permanent minoritarian rule. American Fascism is a surgical analysis of 250 years of struggle for democracy in America and a prescient prognosis of what’s to come if we do not heed Tannehill’s warnings and advice.
