Oscar Wilde a study

André Gide

Sinopse

In "Oscar Wilde, A Study," André Gide delivers an incisive exploration of the life and works of the enigmatic playwright and poet Oscar Wilde. Through a lens of vivid prose, Gide dissects Wilde's themes of aestheticism, duality, and the often paradoxical nature of his identity, blending biographical context with critical insights. This work is firmly situated within the early 20th-century literary discourse, reflecting Gide's engagement with existential themes and modernist thought, while illuminating Wilde's profound impact on literature and society, particularly in relation to issues of sexuality and self-expression in a repressive society. André Gide, a leading figure of French literature, was known for his avant-garde approach and his unwavering quest for authenticity. His own experiences with repression and the search for personal freedom shaped his literary voice, which advocates for honesty and complexity. Gide admired Wilde not only for his literary prowess but also for his fearless exploration of taboo subjects, making Wilde a compelling subject for his analysis, especially during a time when such discussions were fraught with societal consequences. "Oscar Wilde, A Study" is an essential read for those interested in the intertwining lives of these two literary giants. Gide's thoughtful examination offers a rich understanding of Wilde's contribution to literature and the continuous relevance of his themes, making this book a vital addition to both scholars and any reader seeking to delve into the complexities of art and identity.

Remembering Your Ancestral Fire...

M. Taylor

This book is not for musicians or African drumming enthusiasts - it is for all humans! It is a collage of my experiences learning, playing, and teaching djembe, a goblet-shaped West African drum. It is not chronological, but it is thematic, focusing on various aspects of my life, including my trips to Guinea in West Africa and other places around the world to learn and share djembe, “Africanesque” folktales I have written, and hopefully, a few kernels of wisdom about music and life that will help you on your own journey. Journal entries and folktales are sprinkled throughout and are not always related to the chapter itself but add additional insight into my experiences. My interest in djembe—a West African drum—is also an interest in people, culture, communication, and the meaning of life. That may sound overly philosophical, but I hope you’ll see what I mean by the time you finish reading this book.
Here are a few facts about me that may be helpful to know before we continue. My full name is Michael Taylor, but I prefer to be called “Taylor.” I am biracial and adopted, with a black father and white mother, which means much of my early life was spent trying to understand why I didn’t fit in. I think djembe found me to bring me home to part of my ethnic lineage as well as to my purpose in this lifetime. Learning djembe, for me, has been a search for identity, awareness, and connection. Perhaps you are attracted to music, art, certain foods, literature, or something else for similar reasons. I hope this book contains universal truths that will resonate with your own experiences. If nothing else, playing djembe all over the world has taught me that while we all have unique gifts and different experiences, we have far more in common. Some of us may march to the beat of a different drum, but we all have something beautiful and unique to add to the rhythm.
Enjoy and appreciate your journey! Now read about mine…
