Book excerpt: She would rather light a candle than curse the darkness and her glow has warmed the world. These words were spoken by U.N. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson after the death of Eleanor Roosevelt on November 7, 1962. The Candles She Lit brings to the reader for the first time hitherto untold stories of people whose lives had been dramatically changed--sometimes even saved--by the solace and practical aid of Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a woman of the people. Her life is a shining example of the difference one person can make, an extraordinary picture of a woman's service to mankind. As First Lady and during the long years after the White House, Mrs. Roosevelt worked untiringly to enhance the welfare and dignity of people everywhere. Every single appeal for help was answered, every letter of the hundreds she received daily got a reply. Everyone who came into her orbit, whether they were kings or servants, were treated with the same warmth and courteousness. Yet, she was not a paragon of virtue; she could get angry, she could laugh, mostly at herself, and she suffered a great deal. The Candles She Lit is both a brief biography of Eleanor Roosevelt and a testimony to the positive and influential effect she had on others. Youth, family, young adulthood and her marriage to Franklin, the White House period, and the years alone are richly portrayed. The picture that emerges is of an idealistic, intelligent, honest, and compassionate woman always ready to reach out to those in need. The role of Eleanor Roosevelt in the drafting of The Declaration of Human Rights is also pointed out. She considered the Declaration her crowning achievement because it encompasses every single human being on our planet. Stella K. Hershan draws on the testimony of numerous people from all walks of life. Anecdotes, stories, and memories of members of her staff, school children, college students, survivors of the Holocaust, the famous, and the not famous, provide a loving testimonial to the memory of one of the greatest women of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: Hunger by Knut Hamsun is a psychological exploration of desperation, human will, and existential struggle. Through the eyes of the unnamed protagonist, Hamsun paints a stark picture of poverty and isolation in a modernizing city. The protagonist's hunger is both literal and symbolic, representing not only his physical deprivation but also his yearning for meaning and artistic recognition. The novel delves into the complexities of mental instability as the narrator fluctuates between states of delusion, pride, and anguish, revealing the depths of human suffering and resilience. Since its publication, Hunger has been hailed as a pioneering work in modernist literature. Its introspective narrative style and focus on the inner turmoil of the protagonist have influenced many later writers. The novel's existential themes resonate with readers, touching on the alienation and internal conflict faced by individuals in a rapidly changing society. Hamsun's depiction of the psychological effects of extreme hunger and poverty is both poignant and unsettling, offering a raw portrayal of human endurance in the face of societal neglect. The relevance of Hunger persists due to its timeless exploration of human nature. By examining the intersections of pride, despair, and the quest for survival, the novel provides a profound commentary on the fragility of the human condition. Hamsun's work continues to inspire reflection on issues of poverty, mental health, and the search for purpose, making it a powerful contribution to world literature
