Sinopsis

In "The Courtship of Miles Standish," Henry Wadsworth Longfellow weaves a richly detailed narrative set against the backdrop of early colonial New England. This poem, framed in narrative verse, explores themes of love, duty, and the complexities of human emotion, as it follows the courtship of the steadfast Miles Standish and his romantic yet hesitant pursuit of Priscilla Mullins. Longfellow'Äôs lyrical style is infused with historical context, drawing inspiration from genuine accounts of America's Pilgrim fathers, while employing a poignant and accessible vernacular that engages readers emotionally. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, a distinguished American poet known for his cultural relevance and evocative imagery, encapsulates the spirit of his time in this work. His profound appreciation for American history and folklore, combined with his personal experiences of love and loss, surely influenced his depiction of Standish'Äôs heartfelt yet tumultuous romantic endeavors. Longfellow'Äôs connection to significant literary traditions, such as Romanticism, further informs his portrayal of idealized characters in a rapidly changing world. "The Courtship of Miles Standish" is a compelling must-read for those interested in American poetry and early history. Longfellow'Äôs ability to intertwine storytelling with lyrical beauty creates an enduring masterpiece that resonates deeply with themes of passion, conflict, and the human condition.

    The Taming of the Shrew

    William Shakespeare

    • 0
    Shakespeare’s controversial comedy about a man’s quest to break the will of his headstrong wife.Whether this tale is motivated by misogyny, or is simply a satirical critique of men’s treatment of women is a matter up for much debate. Regardless of its potentially polarizing intentions, The Taming of the Shrew is one of William Shakespeare’s most intriguing comedies. Framed as a play within a play, it tells the story of the assertive Katherina’s marriage to Petruchio, who resorts to all sorts of psychological abuse in order to force her to be a traditional obedient wife. The inspiration for the Broadway play Kiss Me, Kate, The Taming of the Shrew is a fascinating glimpse into the sexual politics of the Elizabethan era.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    “#1 bestseller on AMAZON (eating disorders)” 
    “A book that will make you cry and leave you with hope and lifted spirits.” 
    Ira M. Sacker, M.D., (author: Regaining Your Self, and co-author: Dying to Be Thin) 
    “The Mirror Lied is a heartfelt account of individuals suffering from eating disorders. This insightful, engaging, and masterful book is a must-read for individuals suffering from eating disorders and their loved ones.” 
    Judy E. Marshel, Ph.D., RD, is a nutrition therapist specializing in eating disorders. 
    The Mirror Lied is based on the true story of Jessica Gordon. Told in Jessica's voice, and based on extensive interviews with her, The Mirror Lied has been called “gripping,” “compelling” and “heart-wrenching” (AMAZON reviews). 
    Before she turned twenty, Jessica was raped by the woman entrusted to protect her and nearly killed by her brother. But those events pale in comparison to the life and death struggles she faced for twenty-five years as she fought for her life against her battles with anorexia and bulimia, laxative abuse, and cutting. 
    Readers are pulled into Jessica’s world of pain and struggle as they witness her effort to overcome this debilitating disorder. They also meet the people fighting to save her life. 
    To quote Jessica: “To those in recovery, stay there. To those who seek help, may you find a good therapist who knows how to help you. To those in denial of their eating disorder problem – heaven help you.” 
    Marc A. Zimmer, Ph.D., is an eating disorders specialist and co-author of the best-selling book, Dying to Be Thin. Dr. Zimmer has lectured extensively and he has published numerous journal articles on eating disorders. 
    N.R. Mitgang is the co-author (Haskins / Mitgang) of Mr. Bojangles (William Morrow) and an acclaimed playwright (New York Times).

    Primordial - Poems

    Mai Der Vang

    Mai Der Vang's poetry—lyrically insistent and visually compelling—constitutes a groundbreaking investigation into the collective trauma and resilience experienced by Hmong people and communities, the ongoing cultural and environmental repercussions of the war in Vietnam, the lives of refugees afterward, and the postmemory carried by their descendants. Primordial is a crucial turn to the ecological and generational impact of violence, a powerful and rousing meditation on climate, origin, and fate. 
     
     
     
    With profound and attentive care, Vang addresses the plight of the saola, an extremely rare and critically endangered animal native to the Annamite Mountains in Laos and Vietnam. Remarkably, the saola has only been known to the outside world since 1992, and sightings are so rare that it has now been more than a decade since the last known image of one was captured in a camera trap photo in 2013. 
     
     
     
    Primordial examines the saola's relationship to Hmong refugee identity and cosmology and a shared sense of exile, precarity, privacy, and survival. Can a war-torn landscape and memory provide sanctuary, and what are the consequences for our climate, our origins, our ability to belong to a homeland? Written during a difficult pregnancy and postpartum period, Vang's poems are urgent stays against extinction.
