Beschreibung

William Dean Howells' "The Complete Works" presents a comprehensive compilation of the author's significant contributions to American literature, showcasing his distinctive literary style characterized by realism and keen social observation. Spanning diverse themes, including morality, domestic life, and class issues, Howells meticulously illustrates the complexities of American society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This anthology not only captures the narrative richness of his storytelling but also provides vital context into the sociopolitical landscape of his time, making it an essential text for understanding the evolution of American literary traditions. Howells, often hailed as the "Father of American Realism," was profoundly influenced by his experiences as a literary critic, playwright, and editor. His advocacy for realism was a departure from the romanticism prevalent in his era, showcasing his commitment to capturing everyday life with honesty and depth. His associations with contemporaneous authors and thinkers, along with his extensive travel, informed his perspectives on American identity, ultimately shaping his literary voice and thematic choices throughout his career. Readers seeking a nuanced portrayal of American life and culture during a pivotal era will find "The Complete Works" an invaluable resource. Howells' insightful explorations of human nature and societal issues render this anthology not only a testament to his literary prowess but also an essential study for scholars and general readers alike who wish to delve into the depths of American realism.

    Theodore John Kaczynski (May 22, 1942 - June 10, 2023), also known as the Unabomber, was an American mathematician, serial killer, and domestic terrorist. A mathematics prodigy, he abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a reclusive primitive lifestyle and lone wolf terrorism campaign. Kaczynski murdered three people and injured 23 others between 1978 and 1995 in a nationwide mail bombing campaign against people he believed to be advancing modern technology and the destruction of the natural environment. He authored a roughly 35,000-word manifesto and social critique called “Industrial Society and Its Future” which opposes all forms of technology, rejects leftism and fascism, advocates cultural primitivism, and ultimately suggests violent revolution. The following recording is from a 1999 prison interview.

    After spending more than a millennium in relative obscurity, Saint Joseph has become the second-most mentioned saint in the papal magisterium after the Virgin Mary. To understand the life and importance of Saint Joseph, a good place to start is with the first papal title ever granted him: "Patron of the Universal Church." 
     
     
     
    What is it that Saint Joseph has to offer the Church—and each one of us—today? That's the question that A Man Named Joseph: Guardian for Our Times seeks to answer. To get there, author, podcaster, and blogger Joe Heschmeyer cuts through a lot of our misconceptions to see what the Bible and the earliest Christians really say about Joseph as a model husband, father, and saint. Questions at the end of each chapter help guide personal reflection and group discussion. 
     
     
     
    Whatever we may be facing in life, we can go to Joseph for his example, his protection, and his prayers.
