Will Rogers

Sinopse

In "Rogers-isms, the Cowboy Philosopher on the Peace Conference," Will Rogers employs his signature blend of humor and wit to reflect on the complexities of international diplomacy in the wake of World War I. Drawing from his experiences as a performer and commentator, Rogers captures the absurdities and challenges of the peace process, utilizing a conversational style infused with folksy wisdom that engages readers while provoking thought. This collection of reflections, published in 1919, serves as both a critique and an endorsement of political figures and their decisions, highlighting the dissonance between public opinion and bureaucratic action during a tumultuous period in history. Will Rogers, a self-proclaimed "Cowboy Philosopher," emerged as a beloved cultural icon through his insightful commentary on contemporary issues. His unique perspective, shaped by his upbringing in Oklahoma and experiences in vaudeville and film, allowed him to translate complex political ideas into relatable concepts for the everyday American. The sincerity and clarity of his messages resonated with a broad audience, reflecting the collective sentiments of a nation grappling with the aftermath of conflict. Rogers' work remains relevant today, making his observations essential reading for anyone interested in politics, philosophy, or the human condition. "Rogers-isms" not only delights with its humor but also challenges readers to consider the broader implications of peace and governance. This book is a treasure trove for scholars, students, and anyone seeking insight into the societal mindset of post-war America.

The Divine Comedy Paradise

Dante Alighieri

Paradiso (Italian: [paraˈdiːzo]; Italian for "Paradise" or "Heaven") is the third and final part of Dante's Divine Comedy, following the Inferno and the Purgatorio. It is an allegory telling of Dante's journey through Heaven, guided by Beatrice, who symbolises theology. In the poem, Paradise is depicted as a series of concentric spheres surrounding the Earth, consisting of the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Fixed Stars, the Primum Mobile and finally, the Empyrean. It was written in the early 14th century. Allegorically, the poem represents the soul's ascent to God.While the structures of the Inferno and Purgatorio were based around different classifications of sin, the structure of the Paradiso is based on the four cardinal virtues (Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude) and the three theological virtues (Faith, Hope, and Charity).
