Sinopse

In "An Observer in the Near East," William Le Queux presents an incisive and vivid exploration of the socio-political landscapes of the early 20th-century Middle East. His narrative intertwines personal observations with broader cultural and historical contexts, skillfully employing a prose style that reflects both journalistic rigor and literary flair. Le Queux's astute depictions of the region's shifting dynamics, influenced by imperial interests and burgeoning nationalism, illuminate the complexities and contradictions of Near Eastern societies during a period of significant upheaval. William Le Queux, a British journalist and author renowned for his travel writings, was highly attuned to the socio-political currents of his time. His extensive travels throughout Europe and the Near East, coupled with his experiences in international espionage, uniquely positioned him to dissect the intricacies of the region. The insights gleaned from his experiences not only inform the authenticity of his observations but also reflect his preoccupation with the consequences of colonialism and national identity. "An Observer in the Near East" is highly recommended for readers interested in travel literature, historical political analysis, and the complexities of cultural interactions. Le Queux's penetrating observations resonate with contemporary issues, making this work a relevant and thought-provoking read for anyone seeking to understand the enduring legacy of colonial encounters in the region.

She hosted a Paris salon, where the leading figures of modernism in literature and art, such as Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, Sherwood Anderson and Henri Matisse, would meet. The following three recordings are from Stein's novel, The Making of Americans (1925), and her poems, How She Bowed to her Brother (1931) and If I Told Him - A Completed Portrait of Picasso (1923)

    A bold examination of how Paleolithic wisdom could solve our 21st century problems 
     
    Jessica Carew Kraft, an urban wife and mom of two, was firmly rooted in the modern world, complete with a high-powered career in tech and the sneaking suspicion that her lifestyle was preventing her and her family from truly thriving.  
     
    Determined to find a better way, Jessica quit her job and set out to learn about “rewilding” from people who reject the comforts and convenience of civilization by using ancient tools and skills to survive. Along the way, she learned how to turn sticks into fire, stones into axes, and  
    bones into tools for harvesting wild food—and found an entire community walking the path back from our technologyfocused, anxiety-ridden way of life to a simpler, more human experience. 
     
    Weaving deep research and reportage with her own personal journey, Jessica tells the remarkable story of the potential benefits rewilding has for us and our planet and questions what it truly means to be a human in today’s world. Why We Need to Be Wild is a thought-provoking,  
    unforgettable narrative that illuminates how we survived in the past, how we live now, and how each of us can choose to thrive in the years ahead.
