Beschreibung

In "Some Fruits of Solitude," William Penn explores the philosophical and spiritual dimensions of solitude, presenting a meditative reflection on the human condition amidst the cacophony of society. Written in a fluent yet poignant prose style, the text serves as a series of thought-provoking aphorisms, encouraging readers to contemplate their inner lives and embrace the quietude that solitude can afford. Set against the backdrop of 17th-century Quaker thought, Penn's work interweaves themes of personal introspection, moral rectitude, and the pursuit of divine understanding, reflecting the socio-religious turmoil of his time and his commitment to peace and reconciliation. William Penn, a notable Quaker leader and advocate for religious freedom, penned this profound work following his tumultuous experiences with authority and exile. His deep commitment to contemplative thought and societal reform is evident throughout his writings, which often aim to inspire individuals toward personal and collective transformation. The clarity of his insights into solitude arises from both his personal struggles and his desire to create a more harmonious society. "Some Fruits of Solitude" invites readers to engage with their innermost thoughts, making it an essential read for anyone seeking tranquility in a noisy world. Penn's wisdom resonates across the ages, offering timeless guidance on the value of introspection and self-awareness. This book not only enriches the mind but also nurtures the soul, ensuring its place on the shelves of those who cherish literature that enlightens and inspires.

    Growing up in a prosperous neighborhood, B. Morrison was taught that poverty was a product of laziness and public assistance programs only rewarded irresponsibility. However, when her marriage soured, she abruptly found herself an impoverished single mother. Disowned by her parents and facing destitution for herself and her two small sons, she was forced to accept the handout so disdained by her parents and their world: welfare. This dramatic memoir tells how one woman finds and grasps the lifeline that ultimately enables her to become independent. Innocent offers a powerful personal narrative on important social issues. Part coming-of-age story and part immersion in a different culture, this book puts a human face on poverty.

    An Amazon Best Non-Fiction Book of 2022'Essential reading' - The Guardian'Sharp and witty with moments of startling candour' - The i'Makes a powerful case' - Rt Hon Lady Hale‘Revealing and beautifully written’ - David Harewood________Before Jeffrey Boakye was a black teacher, he was a black student. Which means he has spent a lifetime navigating places of learning that are white by default. Since training to teach, he has often been the only black teacher at school. At times seen as a role model, at others a source of curiosity, Boakye’s is a journey of exploration – from the outside looking in.In the groundbreaking I Heard What You Said, he recounts how it feels to be on the margins of the British education system. As a black, male teacher – an English teacher who has had to teach problematic texts – his very existence is a provocation to the status quo, giving him a unique perspective on the UK’s classrooms.Through a series of eye-opening encounters based on the often challenging and sometimes outrageous things people have said to him or about him, Boakye reflects on what he has found out about the habits, presumptions, silences and distortions that black students and teachers experience, and which underpin British education.Thought-provoking, witty and completely unafraid, I Heard What You Said is a timely exploration of how we can dismantle racism in the classroom and do better by all our students.________'Hugely important' - Baroness Lawrence'Deeply compelling, intellectually rigorous and essential' - Nels Abbey'Personal and political, profound and playful' - Darren Chetty'Written with passion, fury, knowledge and, in spite of the painful subject, wit' - Patrice Lawrence

    Hamlet calls death "that undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns." 
     
     
     
    But he's wrong. Some do return. 
     
     
     
    Each night after the applause dies, the curtain falls, the audience vanishes, the cleaners dust, and the lights are killed, great theatres become dark and silent places. But not always quite empty. 
     
     
     
    That's when the theatre ghosts make their entrance and strut and fret their hour upon the shadowed boards, illuminated only by the ghost light, the solitary lamp that is required to burn through the night on every Broadway stage. 
     
     
     
    Many of Broadway's busiest theatres continue to be just as busily haunted by spirits, some with well-known names and histories. 
     
     
     
    Good Morning, Olive (named for one of the most beautiful and temperamental of Broadway's ghosts) is about the ghosts that haunt theatres in New York and around the world. 
     
     
     
    Broadway is the playground of stars, so it's probably not surprising to learn that even its ghosts are stars. Meet some of Broadway's best known—and most active—celebrity ghosts. Don't worry: like Casper, they tend to be friendly. For the most part.
