Book Synopsis The Happiness Fantasy by : Carl Cederström
Download or read book The Happiness Fantasy written by Carl Cederström and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this devastatingly witty new book, Carl Cederström traces our present-day conception of happiness from its roots in early-twentieth-century European psychiatry, to the Beat generation, to Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. He argues that happiness is now defined by a desire to be "authentic", to experience physical pleasure, and to cultivate a quirky individuality. But over the last fifty years, these once-revolutionary ideas have been co-opted by corporations and advertisers, pushing us to live lives that are increasingly unfulfilling, insecure and narcissistic. In an age of increasing austerity and social division, Cederström argues that a radical new dream of happiness is gathering pace. There is a vision of the good life which promotes deeper engagement with the world and our place within it, over the individualism and hedonism of previous generations. Guided by this more egalitarian worldview, we can reinvent ourselves and our societies.

Book Synopsis Robert Browning: Selected Poems by : John Woolford
Download or read book Robert Browning: Selected Poems written by John Woolford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 938 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Browning (1812 – 1889) was one of the defining figures of the Victorian age. Famous in his lifetime for his elopement and marriage to Elizabeth Barratt, his critical reputation grew steadily in the years following her early death. Browning’s mastery of dramatic verse was evident throughout his career, from such chillingly unforgettable monologues as ‘My Last Duchess’ and ‘Porphyria’ to the mature work included in his collection Dramatis Personae. This selection, chosen by leading scholars, reveals the innovation, complexity and profound psychological insight that have ensured Browning’s enduring reputation and his continuing appeal to readers today. Browning: Selected Poems results from a completely fresh appraisal of the canon, text and context of the writer’s work. The poems are presented in the order of their composition and in the text in which they were first published, giving a unique insight into the development of Browning’s art. An introduction and chronology offer useful background material, whilst annotations and headnotes provide details of composition, publication, sources and contemporary reception. This authoritative yet accessible selection should become the first point of reference for scholar, student and general reader alike.
Book Synopsis This My Body Is Kiklos by : Kuldip Singh
Download or read book This My Body Is Kiklos written by Kuldip Singh and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2024-08-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First, a word about Kiklos. A variant spelling of Greek word Kyklos meaning cycle or circle, it is, in the present context – to quote Nevil Coghill, President, The Poetry Society, which first published the Gavin Bantock poem in question, namely Ichor – the ‘circle-city of person itself.’ This My Body Is Kiklos – a quote from Ichor – retraces Parminder Singh’s journey into the dim and distant past, another inwards. In the course of his journey, he encounters the girl he broke faith with; the wife he couldn’t quite convince of his love; the aged parents he let down; violent death meted out to his cousins in the aftermath of the assassination of the Prime Minister by two Sikh bodyguards. Parminder’s is a journey in quest of the songbird where it nests in a stilled heart.
Book Synopsis Krishna Sobti’s Views on Literature and the Poetics of Writing by : Rosine-Alice Vuille
Download or read book Krishna Sobti’s Views on Literature and the Poetics of Writing written by Rosine-Alice Vuille and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a writer discuss her creative process and her views on a writer’s role in society? How do her comments on writing relate to her works? The Hindi writer Krishna Sobti (1925-2019) is known primarily as a novelist. However, she also extensively wrote about her views on the creative process, the figure of the writer, historical writing, and the position of writers within the public sphere. This study is the first to examine in detail the relationship between Sobti’s views on poetics as exposed in her non-fictional texts and her own literary practice. The writer’s self-representation is analysed through her use of metaphors to explain her creative process. Sobti’s construction of the figure of the writer is then put in parallel with her idiosyncratic use of language as a representation of the heterogeneous voices of her characters and with her conception of literature as a space where time and memory can be "held." At the same time, by delving into Sobti’s position in the debate around "women’s writing" (especially through the creation of a male double, the failed writer Hashmat), and into her views on literature and politics, this book also reflects on the literary debates of the post-Independence Hindi literary sphere.

Book Synopsis The O'Briens and the O'Flahertys by : (Lady Morgan) Sydney Owenson
Download or read book The O'Briens and the O'Flahertys written by (Lady Morgan) Sydney Owenson and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The O’Briens and the O’Flahertys is a fast-paced tale of political intrigue and aristocratic vanity—a romp through 1793 Dublin as Ireland pitches towards the United Irishmen Uprising of 1798. It follows Murrogh O’Brien as he tries to find his way between his nostalgic father, the politically savvy Irish-Italian nun Beavoin O’Flaherty, the dashing flirt, Lady Knocklofty, the idealistic United Irishmen, and his comically old-fashioned aunts, only to be caught up in a sweep of arrests and revelations in the novel’s dramatic fourth volume. The O’Briens’ original footnotes and authorial digressions detail the failure of colonial policy in Ireland, contributing to the novel’s long-standing reputation as a credible historical account of the turbulent 1790s. This Broadview Edition includes extensive historical documents on Irish politics in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as well as a selection of contemporary reviews of The O’Briens and the O’Flahertys.

Book excerpt: Simon Potter’s new message of hope and courage for a troubled world Nearly twenty years ago in a Chicago parking lot, Og Mandino met a man who changed his life and who inspired millions of readers in the pages of Mandino’s classic bestseller The Greatest Miracle in the World. The man’s name was Simon Potter and he called himself a ragpicker—because he had devoted his life to rescuing people who had ended up on life’s refuse pile. But just as suddenly and mysteriously as Simon Potter entered Og Mandino’s life, so did he leave it—his work apparently done. Three years ago, however, Simon Potter walked back into Mandino's life. Ninety-five years old and going strong, the ragpicker knew his work was not yet finished; the world was still mired in frustration and despair, plagued by drugs, crime, broken families, and broken dreams. And so, he and Og Mandino vowed to deliver a precious new gift to humankind: a life guide to renewed strength, courage, wisdom, and faith for all.
Book Synopsis 50 Writers, 50 Books by : Pradeep Ed Sebastian
Download or read book 50 Writers, 50 Books written by Pradeep Ed Sebastian and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique anthology of writing on Indian fiction. This book is the first of its kind: 50 essays by 50 writers who thought so passionately of their favourite book that they leapt to the task of representing it here. Within these pages ,Siddharth Chowdhury celebrates Upamanyu Chatterjee as 'a bona fide home-grown rockstar' and Anita Roy quotes David Godwin's description of The God of Small Things as 'a shot of heroin in the arm'. They are all celebrating moments of rupture in literary history. Not all of these essays may convince, or convince equally: some very humbly and modestly focus on what the work offers, without making any worldly claims of it being an 'Indian classic' or 'one of the top fifty'. But each of these essayists, several being novelists themselves, is fashioning their argument in a sarcophagus of their love of this book, not really caring who else will be at this party. And who can resist the beauty of such passionate claims?
