122 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h31min.
The Bunsby Papers (Second Series): Irish Echoes presents a humorous and whimsical take on Irish traditions and legendary tales, highlighting the rich folklore that permeates the country. The narrator discusses how Irish tales, alongside similar myths from other cultures, preserve historical records in an imaginative way, offering insight into the culture of the time. It begins by reflecting on the commonality of myths like the great deluge across different nations, and uses this to set the stage for an Irish retelling of the Noah's Ark story. In this version, the character Bith, an early figure seeking refuge from the deluge, is denied admission to Noah's ark, leading him to build his own vessel. The tale humorously recounts the failed attempt at navigation and the eventual landing of Bith and his family in Ireland after seven years. The lighthearted account plays with the concept of "prehistory" and blending biblical tales with Irish culture, introducing an amusing mix of adventure, survival, and myth. The details and setting further emphasize the playful tone of Irish storytelling, where humor and absurdity are essential ingredients in the narrative.

Affiche du document Acquisitive Society — Acquisitive Society

Philosophie
Youscribe plus
76 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 57min.
The Acquisitive Society is a critical socio-political work that analyzes the consequences of a society driven by individual rights and the pursuit of economic acquisition. The book argues that such an emphasis on personal gain can lead to moral and social deterioration. It critiques the disconnection between property and its function, calling for a system that values communal responsibilities over profit. The text begins by examining the mindset of society, marked by energy but lacking deeper theoretical reflection. The author stresses the importance of evaluating the moral foundations of economic activities and urges societies to reassess their values, particularly in times of crisis. There is a strong emphasis on aligning individual rights with communal duties, advocating for productive functions to be prioritized over wealth accumulation. This critique of materialism and individualism, heightened by the effects of industrialization, forms the core of the work. It calls for a restructuring of societal values, emphasizing social obligations and a more balanced approach to economic organization.

134 pages. Temps de lecture estimé 1h40min.
The Conquest of Canaan unfolds in the fictional town of Canaan, Indiana, where a group of elderly men engages in spirited philosophical debates amidst the cold, snow-covered landscape. Central to the story are the contrasting views of two key figures, one cynical and the other more hopeful, who reflect on society, morality, and the complexities of human nature. The town's local watering hole, where these discussions occur, serves as the setting for a deeper exploration of existential questions, social class, and personal identity. A young man returning from college enters the scene, challenging the established social norms and disrupting the stagnant dynamics of the town. The novel blends rich, comedic dialogue with reflective musings on vanity, aspiration, and the role of the individual within society. The contrast between the characters' differing perspectives allows for a critical look at both personal and societal expectations, offering an insightful commentary on the human experience and the search for meaning in everyday life.

Books in the series quickly grab their interest with fast-paced storylines that feature realistic, sometimes larger-than-life teen characters readers can identify with or would like to know. Then there is an unexpected twist. The characters’ lives are suddenly on the edge—of fame, fear, or even sanity. What starts out as fun or routine becomes a nightmare, real or imagined. As characters are tested in mind, body, and spirit, readers have a sense of being there to experience the adventure.

Though now the family is settled, trouble seems to follow her. To escape, she draws. Her art teacher thinks she has a gift. He signs her up for a program in another city. As she leaves behind the drama back home, she encounters other places, people, and events that are just as dramatic and even dangerous. Her drawings seem to be responsible. This series of books was designed specifically for struggling teen readers. The contemporary fiction is written at accessible levels and provides substantive content without being edgy.

This volumes explores the whole range of Alexis Tocqueville''s ideas, from his political, literary and sociological theories to his concept of history, his religious beliefs, and his philosophical doctrines. Among the topics considered are: Tocqueville''s beliefs about foreign policy as applied to American democracy; Tocqueville and Machiavelli on the art of being free; Tocqueville and the historical sociology of state; virtue and politics in Tocqueville; Tocqueville''s debt to Rousseau and Pascal; Tocqueville''s analysis of the role of religion in preserving American democracy; Tocqueville and American literary critics; and Tocqueville and the postmodern refusal of history. The different approaches to Tocqueville''s classical work represented in this book, combined with the frequent use of unpublished sources, present a fresh and renewed vision of his classic Democracy in America, reinforcing after a century and a half its reputation as the most modern, provocative, and profound attempt to explain the nature of democracy.Contributing to the volume are: Pierre Birnbaum (University of Sorbonne), Herbert Dittgen (University of Goettingen), Joseph Alulis (Lake Forest College), Dalmacio Negro (Universidad Complutense, Madrid), Peter A. Lawler (Berry College), Catherine Zuckert (Carleton College), Francesco de Sanctis (Naples University), Hugh Brogan (University of Essex), Cushing Strout (Cornell University), Gisela Schlueter (Universitaet Hannover), Roger Boesche (Occidental College), Edward T. Gargan (University of Wisconsin), and James T. Schleifer (College of New Rochelle).
