South London - Exploring the Heart of Victorian South London: A Social Realist Perspective

Walter Besant

Beschreibung

In 'South London,' Walter Besant presents a vivid and intricate portrayal of an area often overshadowed by its more illustrious northern counterpart. Employing a rich, descriptive narrative that blends social commentary with personal anecdotes, Besant navigates the diverse tapestry of life in South London during the late 19th century. His literary style combines immersive realism with historical detail, reflecting the socio-economic conditions of the time, including issues of poverty, industry, and community, making the work a crucial document in Victorian literary context. Walter Besant, a prominent novelist and historian, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in London and his later experiences as a social reformer. His keen observations of urban life prompted his desire to illuminate the lesser-known neighborhoods of the city. Besant's commitment to social issues is evident in his writing, which seeks to advocate for the people of South London and challenge the prevailing socio-political narratives of his day. 'North London' is not just a historical account but a compelling invitation to consider the rich diversity of metropolitan life. This book is a must-read for those interested in urban studies, Victorian literature, and social history, providing insights that resonate even today.

Thom Hartmann

America's most popular progressive radio host and New York Times bestselling author explores the fall of the American Dream and the steps we can take to bring it back. 
 
 
 
The widening wealth gap is all too familiar to many Millennials and GenZers, especially when home ownership and the lack of debt seem like faraway fantasies. And it's no surprise when they only hold about 4.6% of the country's wealth while Boomers held 22% at around the same age. So what happened to the promise of the American Dream? 
 
 
 
In this new, final entry of his celebrated Hidden History series, Thom Hartmann uncovers the rise of the American middle class through the progressive policies of FDR, through to its downfall with the increasing privatization and economic deregulations of the Reagan era. 
 
 
 
He also explores potential solutions including wealth and inheritance taxes to lessen economic inequality, supporting unions through increasing labor rights, and renationalizing public spaces and transportation. 
 
 
 
The American Dream often remains just a dream for many, but this book highlights what needs to be done to take it back and help make it a reality for us all.

A Rare Recording of Corrie ten...

Corrie ten Boom

Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom (April 15, 1892 - April 15, 1983) was a Dutch watchmaker who worked with her father Casper and other family members to help, reportedly, 800 Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in their home. Eventually, the family was caught, and ten Boom was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, but released after ten months due to a clerical error. Later in life, ten Boom wrote, "The Hiding Place," a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she was able to find hope while imprisoned at the concentration camp. It was later made in to a movie. The following is part one of a speech ten Boom gave called, Authority Over Demons.
