Sinopsis

In "The Art of Fiction," Virginia Woolf presents a profound exploration of the intricacies and nuances within the craft of writing. In this seminal essay, Woolf reflects on the evolution of fiction, assessing its potential to express the complexity of human experience. Employing a strikingly modernist style, she delves into the interplay of character, narrative structure, and the psychological underpinnings that shape literary creation. Woolf's observations draw from the broader tapestry of early 20th-century literature, positioning her ideas within the context of a rapidly changing social and artistic landscape, influenced by contemporaries such as James Joyce and Marcel Proust. Virginia Woolf, a central figure in the modernist movement, utilized her keen insights into human consciousness and social dynamics, galvanized by her own experiences as a writer and member of the Bloomsbury Group. Her deep conviction that fiction should reflect the totality of human experience is evident in her thoughtful criticism and exploration of literary form. Woolf's personal struggles with mental health and her quest for authentic expression significantly informed her literary philosophy, bringing a rare depth to her interpretations. "The Art of Fiction" stands as an essential read for both aspiring writers and ardent readers, offering timeless wisdom about the writer's craft. Woolf's eloquent articulation of the artistic process encourages readers to reconsider the boundaries of fiction and the role of the author in constructing meaning. This work is not merely an essay on writing; it is an invitation to engage with the very nature of storytelling itself.

    Mysterious Mass Disappearances

    This book is all about mass disappearances which have occurred in history. 
    These events run the gamut from entire villages whose inhabitants disappeared to a flight of military planes gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle. 
    Many ships have disappeared so I only cover a few of the most notorious ones.  
    I also do not usually cover missing families or where just several people have gone absent. 
    It is much more interesting to me if an entire army became lost and missing or strange things happened to a group which has become a big mystery. 
    There are also some recent missing persons mysteries since these events happen even in the modern age.

    Nanasaheb had taken the Marathas to the largest extent possible. In south, the Peshwa had won against the Nizam. So there was no challenge there. While Delhi was the capital of the Mughal empire, the power seat was Pune. In 1758 it felt as if the Marathas could hold their power over Punjab sitting in Pune, 1500 kms away. This was a mistake in hindsight. To hold power in the country one had to take charge of the throne at Delhi which the Marathas were unwilling to do allowing the Mughal emperor to rule. If only the Marathas had taken charge of Delhi, history would have been different.

    Serving as a vital supplement to the existing scholarship on AIDS activism of the 1980s and 1990s, Viral Cultures is the first book to critically examine the archives that have helped preserve and create the legacy of those radical activities. Marika Cifor charts the efforts activists, archivists, and curators have made to document the work of AIDS activism in the United States and the infrastructure developed to maintain it, safeguarding the material for future generations to remember these social movements and to revitalize the epidemic's past in order to remake the present and future of AIDS. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on large institutional archives such as the New York Public Library, as well as those developed by small, community-based organizations, this work of archival ethnography details how contemporary activists, artists, and curators use these records to build on the cultural legacy of AIDS activism to challenge the conditions of injustice that continue to undergird current AIDS crises. Cifor analyzes the various power structures through which these archives are mediated, demonstrating how ideology shapes the nature of archival material and how it is accessed and used. Positioning vital nostalgia as both a critical faculty and a generative practice, this book explores the act of saving this activist past and reanimating it in the digital age.

    Right and Reason: Ethics in...

    What makes right right and wrong wrong? What is moral obligation, and where does it come from? Why is lying never right? Why is divorce always wrong? Why is abortion always wrong? What are the various moral systems acceptable within Catholicism, and what are their merits? When is it moral to kill another person—if ever? Do animals have rights? What is the origin of the State? Who has the right to educate? Is capital punishment ethical? Is there a right to work? What is a just wage? What is a just war? What is the principle of double effect? Are suicide and euthanasia against Natural Law or only Divine Law? Is there even a Natural Law?The above questions cover a smattering of ethical fields and subjects, which range literally throughout human experience. There is no action that does not have some ethical implication, and there is no person whatsoever who does not have some moral compass, whether poorly guided or well. Indeed, ethical and moral questions form the brunt of human experience, whether modern man realizes it or not, and we always have ethical and moral presuppositions. Given this reality, the study of ethics is far from some esoteric or abstract field; nor is it without objective and unchanging laws that govern all mankind. Rather, it is an eminently practical and thoroughly important field for every single person in the world. Fr. Austin Fagothey's classic Right and Reason: Ethics in Theory and Practice covers the principles of Catholic ethics in common-sense Aristo-Thomistic terms. As valid today as ever, these principles guide anyone who attempts to grapple with today's new moral questions (medical ethics, family issues, international relations, etc.) with a solid grounding, rather than foundering in the swamp of guesswork, emotionality, and mere personal opinion that governs the modern world. Every Catholic must be familiar with the great ethical questions and their true, Catholic resolutions; Fr. Fagothey's 650-page, masterful tome is just the right thing for the job, a beacon of common sense written with authoritative competence.

    Mosquito Men - The Elite...

    The story of one of the most remarkable – and feared – British aircraft of the Second World War: the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito fighter-bomber. 
     
    Nicknamed the 'wooden wonder' for its balsawood frame, the two-man Mosquito excelled in several different roles, from reconnaissance to the bombing of sensitive priority targets. Following a Mosquito raid on the main Berlin broadcasting station on 30 January 1943, which succeeded in removing Hermann Goering from the airwaves, the Luftwaffe chief observed ruefully: 'It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I turn green and yellow with envy.' From the summer of that year, as RAF Bomber Command intensified its saturation-bombing campaign against German cities and industrial centres, Mosquitos were used by the RAF Pathfinder Force, which marked targets for night-time bombing, to potent and devastating effect. 
     
    David Price's involving and fast-paced narrative traces the contrasting wartime fortunes of a number of Mosquito crews, alongside which the development and operational history of the aeroplane (especially with the Pathfinder Force) forms a descant to the principal human narrative. Like the author's earlier book The Crew, Mosquito Men is rich in evocative and technically authoritative accounts of individual missions flown by an aircraft that ranks alongside the Spitfire, the Hurricane and the Avro Lancaster as one of the RAF's greatest ever.
