Book excerpt: This is a new edition of "Little Essays of Love and Virtue," originally published in 1922 by George H. Doran Company, of New York.

Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned by Adeptio Editions to enhance readability, while respecting the original edition. In "Little Essays of Love and Virtue," Havelock Ellis set forth certain fundamental principles, together with their practical application to the life of the early twentieth century. Many principles are stated, some technically; others were therein implied but only to be read between the lines. Here, the author expressed them in simple language and with some rich detail. The book touches on important topics such as Children and Parents, The Meaning of Purity, The Objects of Marriage, Husbands and Wives, The Love-Rights of Women, The Play-Function of Sex, and The Individual and the Race. "Little Essays of Love and Virtue" is aimed primarily at young people, youths and girls at the period of adolescence "who were in the author's thoughts in all the studies he wrote of sex because he was of that age when he first vaguely planned them." "Little Essays of Love and Virtue," is considered one of Havelock's masterpieces and helped establish Havelock's reputation throughout the world. About the Author: Havelock Ellis was a social activist, a physician and a psychologist, whose best-known works concern sexuality and criminology. Among his over forty books, in 1890 he published "The Criminal," a remarkable work on criminal anthropology. In the same year, he published "The New Spirit," a collection of literary essays on Diderot, Heine, Whitman, Ibsen, and Tolstoy, and Ellis's attempt to synthesize science and religious mysticism. In 1898 he wrote "Affirmations," which contains essays on Nietzsche, Casanova, Zola, Huysmans, and St. Francis. In 1897, he published "Sexual Inversion," the first medical text in English about homosexuality, which he had co-authored with John Addington Symonds in an earlier edition, and which became a part of Ellis's six-volume "Studies in the Psychology of Sex." In 1922, he published "Little Essays of Love and Virtue," which aimed primarily at young people, youths and girls at the period of adolescence, who were in the author's thoughts in all the studies he wrote of sex because he was of that age when he first vaguely planned them. These titles are part of our "Unforgettable Classic Series: The Best of Havelock Ellis Collection." Born in Surrey, England, in 1859, Havelock Ellis was considered by the overwhelming majority of critics as the best translator of "Germinal," Émile Zola`s masterpiece. Ellis was associated with the Decadent movement and with the "Lutetian Society," a secret literary society, through which authors and translators like himself were able to provide British readers with translations of works which were often antagonistic to the Victorian ideals of morality-such as some of Émile Zola's controversial novels-aiming at expanding the cultural horizons of the few lucky readers who had access to them. Havelock Ellis died in Suffolk, England, in 1939.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Essays of Love and Virtue In these Essays - little, indeed, as I know them to be, compared to the magnitude of their subjects - I have tried to set forth, as clearly as I can, certain fundamental principles, together with their practical application to the life of our time. Some of these principles were stated, more briefly and technically, in my larger Studies of sex; others were therein implied but only to be read between the lines. Here I have expressed them in simple language and with some detail. It is my hope that in this way they may more, surely come into the hands of young people, youths and girls at the period of adolescence, who have been present to my thoughts in all the studies I have written of sex because I was myself of that age when I first vaguely planned them. I would prefer to leave to their judgment the question as to whether this book is suitable to be placed in the hands of older people. It might only give them pain.

Book Synopsis The Little Virtues by : Natalia Ginzburg
Download or read book The Little Virtues written by Natalia Ginzburg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of her finest and best-known short essays, Natalia Ginzburg explores both the mundane details and inescapable catastrophes of personal life with the grace and wit that have assured her rightful place in the pantheon of classic mid-century authors. Whether she writes of the loss of a friend, Cesare Pavese; or what is inexpugnable of World War II; or the Abruzzi, where she and her first husband lived in forced residence under Fascist rule; or the importance of silence in our society; or her vocation as a writer; or even a pair of worn-out shoes, Ginzburg brings to her reflections the wisdom of a survivor and the spare, wry, and poetically resonant style her readers have come to recognize. "A glowing light of modern Italian literature . . . Ginzburg's magic is the utter simplicity of her prose, suddenly illuminated by one word that makes a lightning streak of a plain phrase. . . . As direct and clean as if it were carved in stone, it yet speaks thoughts of the heart.' — The New York Times Book Review

Book excerpt: "Essays of Love and Virtue" by Havelock Ellis is a collection of essays that explores themes of love, morality, and human relationships from a psychological and philosophical perspective. Published in 1922, the book reflects Ellis's deep interest in human sexuality, psychology, and ethics. Havelock Ellis was a pioneering psychologist and social reformer known for his groundbreaking studies on human sexuality and his advocacy for sexual freedom and education. In "Little Essays of Love and Virtue," he applies his keen intellect and compassionate insight to the exploration of love, virtue, and the complexities of human nature. The essays cover a wide range of topics related to love and virtue, including romantic love, friendship, marriage, jealousy, forgiveness, and the pursuit of moral excellence. Ellis draws on a rich array of literary, historical, and philosophical sources to illuminate his ideas, weaving together insights from psychology, sociology, and ethics. One of the central themes of the book is the importance of love and compassion in fostering personal growth and social harmony. Ellis argues that love, when approached with sincerity and understanding, has the power to transform individuals and communities, fostering empathy, connection, and mutual respect. In addition to exploring the nature of love, Ellis also delves into questions of virtue and morality, examining the ethical principles that guide human behavior and the challenges of living a virtuous life in a complex and sometimes morally ambiguous world. "Essays of Love and Virtue" is characterized by Ellis's clear and engaging prose, as well as his deep empathy for the human condition. The book offers readers thought-provoking reflections on the nature of love, the pursuit of virtue, and the enduring quest for meaning and fulfillment in life.

Book Synopsis A Long Fatal Love Chase by : Louisa May Alcott
Download or read book A Long Fatal Love Chase written by Louisa May Alcott and published by Dell. This book was released on 1996-12-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'd gladly sell my soul to Satan for a year of freedom," cries impetuous Rosamond Vivian to her callous grandfather. Then, one stormy night, a brooding stranger appears in her remote island home, ready to take Rosamond to her word. Spellbound by the mysterious Philip Tempest, Rosamond is seduced with promises of love and freedom, then spirited away on Tempest's sumptuous yacht. But she soon finds herself trapped in a web of intrigue, cruelty, and deceit. Desperate to escape, she flees to Italy, France, and Germany, from Parisian garret to mental asylum, from convent to chateau, as Tempest stalks every step of the fiery beauty who has become his obsession. A story of dark love and passionate obsession that was considered "too sensational" to be published in the authors lifetime, A Long Fatal Love Chase was written for magazine serialization in 1866, two years before the publication of Little Women. Buried among Louisa May Alcott's papers for more than a century, its publication is a literary landmark—a novel that is bold, timeless, and mesmerizing."

Book Synopsis A Place to Live by : Natalia Ginzburg
Download or read book A Place to Live written by Natalia Ginzburg and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably one of Italy’s greatest contemporary writers, Natalia Ginzburg has been best known in America as a writer’s writer, quiet beloved of her fellow wordsmiths. This collection of personal essays chosen by the eminent American writer Lynne Sharon Schwartz from four of Ginzburg’s books written over the course of Ginzburg’s lifetime was a many-years long project for Schwartz. These essays are deeply felt, but also disarmingly accessible. Full of self-doubt and searing insight, Ginzburg is merciless in her attempts to describe herself and her world—and yet paradoxically, her self-deprecating remarks reveal her deeper confidence in her own eye and writing ability, as well as the weight and nuance of her exploration of the conflict between humane values and bureaucratic rigidity.

Book Synopsis Love's Knowledge by : Martha C. Nussbaum
Download or read book Love's Knowledge written by Martha C. Nussbaum and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-04-02 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together Nussbaum's published papers on the relationship between literature and philosophy, especially moral philosophy. The papers, many of them previously inaccessible to non-specialist readers, deal with such fundamental issues as the relationship between style and content in the exploration of ethical issues; the nature of ethical attention and ethical knowledge and their relationship to written forms and styles; and the role of the emotions in deliberation and self-knowledge. Nussbaum investigates and defends a conception of ethical understanding which involves emotional as well as intellectual activity, and which gives a certain type of priority to the perception of particular people and situations rather than to abstract rules. She argues that this ethical conception cannot be completely and appropriately stated without turning to forms of writing usually considered literary rather than philosophical. It is consequently necessary to broaden our conception of moral philosophy in order to include these forms. Featuring two new essays and revised versions of several previously published essays, this collection attempts to articulate the relationship, within such a broader ethical inquiry, between literary and more abstractly theoretical elements.
