Synopsis

In "My Literary Passions," William Dean Howells presents a vivid exploration of his literary journey, highlighting the authors and works that shaped his development as a writer and critic. With a distinctive autobiographical style, Howells melds personal narrative with literary analysis, offering readers insight into the connections between his life experiences and the texts he cherishes. The book reflects the literary context of the late 19th century, characterized by the rise of realism and the shifting paradigms of American literature, positioning Howells as both a participant and observer in these transformative dynamics. William Dean Howells, often referred to as the "Dean of American Letters," was a staunch advocate for realism and its power to authentically depict American life. His extensive career as a novelist, critic, and editor, alongside his connections with literary figures such as Mark Twain and Henry James, deeply influenced his perspectives articulated in this work. Howells's own literary passions were informed by a rich tapestry of cultural and philosophical currents present during his lifetime, lending authenticity and depth to his reflections. "My Literary Passions" is highly recommended for readers eager to navigate the interplay between personal narrative and literary critique. Howells's eloquent prose and insightful observations provide a compelling glimpse into the literary landscape of his time, making this book an invaluable resource not only for students of literature but for anyone seeking to understand the evolution of American writing.

    A BOOK DEDICATED TO HOPE Humanity is at a crossroads between self-destruction and change. Are you negative and pessimistic? Do you feel uneasy about the future? Are you unhappy because of your daily problems, not to mention wars, crises and pollution? I will give you many reasons to become positive, peaceful and able to achieve peace beyond imagination! I will take you on a fantastic journey into your own mind, to go beyond it. In fact, the ordinary mind thinks it can change things, but it cannot. That is why we never solve our own problems and those of the planet. But how do we go beyond the mind to generate real change? Meditation is the main tool to change ourselves and the world around us. We can stop wars, we can stop crime, there is no limit to what we can do. The Maharishi effect, which has been scientifically studied many times, shows that with the power of our intention and meditation, we can actually do something in terrible situations, such as armed conflicts, violence, and crime. And if it works for the most extreme cases, this means that even in less tragic situations, such as our daily lives, we have a much greater margin of intervention in events close to us than we are used to believing. A limited number of street lamps are needed to illuminate the streets of an entire city, just as 1% of the population of a city, of a nation, or of the entire planet, who are able to reach a state of deep meditation, are enough to bring light and remove the darkness from consciousness. A small group of awakened people are enough to irradiate and enlighten all other people, who will unconsciously change their way of thinking and acting. Does all this sound like science fiction, too good to be true? Whether you believe you can or believe you can`t, you are still right. Since the Universe is subjective, our way of believing the world, our beliefs, becomes our reality. What we are and what we think spreads and reflects throughout the Universe.

    Are you tired of pretending to understand Hegel? 
    Do you feel personally attacked by German idealism? 
    Have you ever wondered if “sublation” is just a fancy word for “I have no idea what I’m saying”? 
    Congratulations. You’ve found your people. 
    In Hegel’s Dialectic: Making Simple Ideas Complicated Since 1807, philosophy finally gets the sarcasm-drenched takedown it deserves. This brutally funny and weirdly educational guide walks you through Hegel’s greatest hits—from Phenomenology of Spirit to The Philosophy of Right—without requiring a PhD, a bottle of aspirin, or a séance to contact the Absolute Spirit. 
    Inside, you’ll find: 
    Chapter titles like 
    “The Dialectic for Dummies – Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis, Headache” 
    and 
    “Philosophy of History – Congratulations Germany, You’re the Pinnacle of Human Development!” 
    Explainers that are actually funny, including: 
    Why “The true is the whole” means “Stop quoting me out of context.” 
    How to fake your way through a conversation about Hegel with confidence and zero comprehension. 
    A conclusion so revolutionary, it dares to suggest that clarity in philosophy... might actually be a good thing. 
    Whether you’re a philosophy student, a former philosophy student in recovery, or just someone who enjoys watching intellectual chaos unfold with style, this book is your antidote to academic despair. 
    Read it. Laugh. Learn something. Maybe. 
    And remember: if you're confused, you're probably doing it right. 
    🌀 "The most fun you can have with German idealism without crying." 
    🧠 "Hegel for people who want to understand him, but also want to live." 
    🕊 "Finally, a philosophy book that hates itself just the right amount."
