His prose is marked by clarity and eloquence, positioning the essays within the broader context of early 20th-century literary criticism, where the Russian novel was gaining renewed interest among Western readers. Phelps's insightful observations serve to bridge cultural divides, shedding light on how these novels resonate across different societal landscapes. William Lyon Phelps was a prominent American literary scholar and educator, renowned for his passion for literature and his belief in its transformative power. His extensive academic background, coupled with his travels and study in Europe, allowed him to intimately engage with the Russian literary tradition. This deep-rooted understanding, combined with his eloquent writing style, positioned him uniquely to convey the significance of these authors to an American audience during a time of cultural exploration. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the interplay between literature and philosophy. Phelps's essays not only illuminate the essence of Russian literature but also encourage readers to reflect on their human experience through the lens of these timeless narratives.

1 - American Revolution: Between 1765 to 1791, the American Revolution was an ideological and political revolution in British America. In the American Revolutionary War (between 1775 to 1783), the Americans in the Thirteen Groups established sovereign countries that beat the British, getting independence from the British Crown and establishing the USA of America, the first modern-day constitutional liberal democracy. The tax of American settlers by the British Parliament, a body in which they had no direct representation, provided contention. Before the 1760s, Britain's American groups kept a great degree of internal autonomy, which was managed by colonist legislatures on a regional level. The Stamp Act of 1765 enforced internal taxes on the groups, leading to colonist outrage and the development of the Stamp Act Congress, which united members from different provinces. Stress reduced after the British rescinded the Stamp Act but flared again when the Townshend Acts were passed in the year 1767. In the year 1768, the British federal government dispatched soldiers to Boston to stop discontent, which led to the Boston Massacre in the year 1770. 
2 - Mexican Revolution: The Mexican Revolution was a great revolution that included a series of army local battles instead of a single united struggle. It destroyed the Federal Force and changed it with an innovative army, changing Mexican civilization and governance at the same time It also culminated in the adoption of a new constitution that included the revolutionaries' ideal visions. In spite of the fact that President Porfirio Daz's (from about 1880 to 1911) rule had grown progressively out of favor over the prior 31 years, there was no indicator that a transformation would break out in the year 1910.

    The Storm of Steel is a first-hand account of World War I trench combat lifted from the diaries of Ernst Jünger, a German infantryman who would become one of Europe's most renowned writers.

The book was first translated into English in 1929 by Basil Creighton, the acclaimed translator of many other classic works of German literature, and was widely hailed as a masterpiece. To many, The Storm of Steel remains the definitive account of World War I, following Jünger through several major battles as he develops from an eager young soldier into a battle-hardened officer.

    Feel Heal & Let That Sh*t Go -...

    A psychotherapist and hit podcaster brings empathy and humor to her first book, a radical reimagining of the self-help genre that teaches readers how to “process their emotional sh*t,” let it go, and enjoy the life they’re living 
 
After suffering through her own cycle of tragedy, suppressed emotion, professional study, therapy, and eventual breakthrough, Rachel Kaplan knows from experience that many of us avoid actually feeling our feelings. Instead, we store them in a kind of emotional constipation, chasing distraction, addiction, consumption, and other forms of suppression. The only way to heal from traumatic experiences and difficult feelings, to live healthier and happier lives, is to move the emotions through our bodies—to let that sh*t go. 
 
Heal, Feel, and Let That Sh*t Go is a revolutionary and irreverent approach to personal transformation and self-care that teaches readers precisely how to (and why they should) feel emotions to move them through the body as nature intended. Kaplan calls this modality “emotional potty training,” and the revolutionary community she’s nurturing, the Feelings Movement. Her approach helps readers heal themselves deep down, eliminate doubt about their own self-worth and value, and importantly, enjoy the journey. 
 
To accomplish this, Kaplan guides readers to: 
• reconnect and reintegrate with their younger selves who suppressed emotion because they needed connection and approval from parents in order to survive 
• access the inner pain resulting from the experience of feeling unlovable and other traumas that were not emotionally processed at the time 
• engage in self-care practices and step-by-step physical and mental exercises to work through and release these pent-up feelings 
 
Restoring the ability to process emotion is the only effective means for reducing our backlog of emotional pain, establishing a baseline of well-being and self-trust, and overcoming the debilitating effects of core wounds, chronic stress, depression, and misery. By letting that sh*t go, readers can enjoy the life they’re living and know their worth, no matter what.
