Summary

In "Of Plymouth Plantation (Complete Edition)," William Bradford offers a captivating first-hand account of the early years of the Plymouth Colony, detailing the trials and tribulations faced by the Pilgrims who sought religious freedom in the New World. Bradford's literary style is characterized by a puritanical earnestness and a rich, narrative-driven prose that weaves together personal reflections, historical events, and theological insights. This work serves not only as a vital historical document but also as a testament to the complexities of faith and community in the face of hardship, grounding it within the larger narrative of America's founding and the quest for liberty. William Bradford, the colony's second governor and an influential leader, drew from his own experiences as an English Separatist to convey the struggles and triumphs of his fellow settlers. Escaping religious persecution in England, Bradford's dedication to preserving the memory of the Pilgrims' journey reflects his commitment to their cause and his understanding of history as a moral narrative aimed at future generations. His leadership during the establishment of the colony and his role as a chronicler profoundly shaped the cultural and historical legacy of early America. "Of Plymouth Plantation" is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, religious studies, or early colonial life. Bradford'Äôs profound insights and eloquent prose offer an intimate look at a pivotal moment in history, making this work a must-read for scholars and casual readers alike who seek to understand the values, struggles, and triumphs that continue to resonate in the American narrative.

    The American Adam - Innocence...

    Intellectual history is viewed in this book as a series of “great conversations”—dramatic dialogues in which a culture’s spokesmen wrestle with the leading questions of their times. In nineteenth-century America the great argument centered about De Crèvecoeur’s “new man,” the American, an innocent Adam in a bright new world dissociating himself from the historic past. Mr. Lewis reveals this vital preoccupation as a pervasive, transforming ingredient of the American mind, illuminating history and theology as well as art, shaping the consciousness of lesser thinkers as fully as it shaped the giants of the age. He traces the Adamic theme in the writings of Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, Henry James, and others, and in an Epilogue he exposes their continuing spirit in the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Ralph Ellison, J. D. Salinger, and Saul Bellow.

    Why this holiday season is a great time to rethink the traditional turkey feast 
 
 
 
A turkey is the centerpiece of countless Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Yet most of us know almost nothing about today's specially bred, commercially produced birds. In this brief book, bestselling author Peter Singer tells their story—and, unfortunately, it's not a happy one. Along the way, he also offers a brief history of the turkey and its consumption, ridicules the annual US presidential "pardon" of a Thanksgiving turkey, and introduces us to "a tremendously handsome, outgoing, and intelligent turkey" named Cornelius. Above all, Singer explains how we can improve our holiday tables—for turkeys, people, and the planet—by liberating ourselves from the traditional turkey feast. In its place, he encourages us to consider trying a vegetarian alternative—or just serving the side dishes that many people already enjoy far more than turkey. Consider the Turkey will make you reconsider what you serve for your next holiday meal—or even tomorrow's dinner.
