  You’ve heard of the American Dream, but what about the American Nightmare? Tatanga Hōksheen: A Failed Attempt to Kill the Indian unfolds the gripping tale of an Assiniboine boy named Tatanga Hōksheen, born along the serene banks of Montana’s Milk River, only to be thrust into a soul-crushing institution designed to strip away his cultural identity. 
  At the tender age of 10, Tatanga Hōksheen’s idyllic life takes a dark turn. Ripped from his family and the world he knew, he’s forced into the Pierre Indian School in South Dakota— a government-established institution that aims to “kill the Indian, save the man.” With no word from home and subjected to unthinkable hardships, Tatanga Hōksheen navigates years of forced assimilation, physical abuse, and spiritual erosion. 
  But this is not just a story of despair. It’s a tale of resilience, a narrative of a young boy who battles against a system intending to dissolve his heritage, spirituality, and very self. Will Tatanga Hōksheen ever escape the shackles of Pierre Indian School? Can he rediscover the spirit he lost? Embark on this heartrending journey and witness one boy’s struggle to reclaim his identity and find a place in a world that has tried to erase him.

  Adam Bede

  George Eliot

  A bestseller from the moment of publication, Adam Bede, although on one level a rich and loving re-creation of a small community shaken to its core, is more than a charming, faultlessly evoked pastoral. However much the reader may sympathize with Hetty Sorrel and identify with Arthur Donnithorne, her seducer, and with Adam Bede, the man Hetty betrays,it is George Eliots's creation of the distant aesthetic whole - the complex, multifarious life of Hayslope - which so grips the reader's imagination. As Stephen Gill comments: 'Reading the novel is a process of learning simultaneously about the world of Adam Bede and the world of Adam Bede.'

  Jacques Lacan is now regarded as a major psychoanalytical theorist alongside Freud and Jung, although recognition has been delayed by fierce arguments over his ideas. Written by a leading Lacanian analyst, "Introducing Lacan" guides the reader through his innovations, including his work on paranoia, his addition of structural linguistics to Freudianism and his ideas on the infant 'mirror phase'. It also traces Lacan's influence in postmodern critical thinking on art, literature, philosophy and feminism. This is the ideal introduction for anyone intrigued by Lacan's ideas but discouraged by the complexity of his writings.
