Topics of Conversation by Miranda Popkey
Type : epub |
Size : 736.23 KB |
English |
Descirption: [b]For readers of Rachel Cusk, Lydia Davis, and Jenny Offill-a compact tour de force about sex, violence, and self-loathing from a ferociously talented new voice in fiction[/b]
Miranda Popkey's first novel is about desire, disgust, motherhood, loneliness, art, pain, feminism, anger, envy, guilt-written in language that sizzles with intelligence and eroticism. The novel is composed almost exclusively of conversations between women-the stories they tell each other, and the stories they tell themselves, about shame and love, infidelity and self-sabotage-and careens through twenty years in the life of an unnamed narrator hungry for experience and bent on upending her life. Edgy, wry, shot through with rage and despair, Topics of Conversation introduces an audacious and immensely gifted new novelist.

Global Discontents by Noam Chomsky
Type : epub |
Size : 563.27 KB |
English |
Descirption: <a href="https://.goodreads.com/book/show/37534964-global-discontents"><span style="color: #6cb4ee">Global Discontents</a>
In a compelling new set of intervie, Noam Chomsky identifies the "dry kindling" of discontent around the world that could soon catch fire.
In wide-ranging discussions with David Barsamian, his longtime interlocutor, Noam Chomsky asks us to consider "the world we are leaving to our grandchildren": one imperiled by climate change and the growing potential for nuclear war. If the current system is incapable of dealing with these threats, he argues, it's up to us to radically change it.
These twelve intervie examine the latest developments around the globe: the rise of ISIS, the reach of state surveillance, growing anger over economic inequality, conflicts in the Middle East, and the presidency of Donald Trump. In personal reflections on his Philadelphia childhood, Chomsky also describes his own intellectual journey and the development of his uncompromising stance as America's premier dissident intellectual.

A surprising and lively history of an overlooked era that brought the modern world of art, culture, and science decisively into view.
The Victorians are often credited with ushering in our current era, yet the seeds of change were planted in the years before. The Regency (1811-1820) began when the profligate Prince of Wales--the future king George IV--replaced his insane father, George III, as Britain's ruler.
Around the regent surged a society steeped in contrasts: evangelicalism and hedonism, elegance and brutality, exuberance and despair. The arts flourished at this time with a showcase of extraordinary writers and painters such as Jane Austen, Lord Byron, the Shelleys, John Constable, and J. M. W. Turner. Science burgeoned during this decade, too, giving us the steam locomotive and the blueprint for the modern computer.
Yet the dark side of the era was visible in poverty, slavery, pornography, opium, and the gothic imaginings that birthed the novel Frankenstein. With the British military in foreign lands, fighting the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the War of 1812 in the United States, the desire for empire and an expanding colonial enterprise gained unstoppable momentum. Exploring these crosscurrents, Robert Morrison illuminates the profound ways this period shaped and indelibly marked the modern world.
Review
"Morrison gathers a broad range of topics into a strong, cohesive and fast moving narrative. An excellent introduction for readers new to the period and a fresh take for Regency enthusiasts."
- Booklist
"Delightful.Morrison's lively and engaging study not only illuminates these many and rapid changes, but convincingly argues that 'its many legacies are still all around us.'"
- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A lively new chronicle brings crisp focus to a significant decade in British history and culture.Morrison expertly encapsulates the brief, radical trends and movements of this era."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Nobody knows more about this extraordinary, enthralling decade in British history than Robert Morrison. In The Regency Years he tells its story with a spirit and a panache that Regency writers like Lord Byron, or the pioneering sports journalist Pierce Egan, or the courtesan, memoirist, and fashionista Harriette Wilson might envy themselves. Twenty-first-century readers continue to be informed with wearisome regularity that Jane Austen and her novels were the products of a tranquil and stable and even slightly tedious world. Morrison offers indisputable evidence to the contrary, and in his pages readers will learn new things about the turbulence and the excitement, the restlessness and the radical energies of Austen 's historical moment. The Regency Years is a triumph of historical storytelling. "
- Deidre Lynch, author of *Loving Literature: A Cultural History*
" The Regency Years investigates actors, artists, and prizefighters; heroes, criminals, harlots, and statesmen. It deals with ―among other things―books, battles, and scientific discoveries. Its unexpected conjunctions both illuminate a momentous decade of the early nineteenth century and shed unexpected light on our own time. Readers of this brilliant book will enjoy a rich experience, full of memorable surprises."
- Patricia Meyer Spacks, Edgar F. Shannon Professor of English, University of Virginia
"Robert Morrison is my ideal of what a scholar should be―lively and interesting, he makes the past relevant to today."
- David Morrell, author of the Thomas and Emily De Quincey trilogy
