Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century, as we know, has frequently been called "the century of the child." When, however, we turn to the books of Ellen Key, who has most largely and sympathetically taken this point of view, one asks oneself whether, after all, the child's century has brought much to the child. Ellen Key points out, with truth, that, even in our century, parents may for the most part be divided into two classes: those who act as if their children existed only for their benefit, and those who act as if they existed only for their children's benefit, the results, she adds being alike deplorable. For the first group of parents tyrannise over the child, seek to destroy its individuality, exercise an arbitrary discipline too spasmodic to have any of the good effects of discipline and would model him into a copy of themselves, though really, she adds, it ought to pain them very much to see themselves exactly copied. The second group of parents may wish to model their children not after themselves but after their ideals, yet they differ chiefly from the first class by their over-indulgence, by their anxiety to pamper the child by yielding to all his caprices and artificially protecting him from the natural results of those caprices, so that instead of learning freedom, he has merely acquired self-will. These parents do not indeed tyrannise over their children but they do worse; they train their children to be tyrants. Against these two tendencies of our century Ellen Key declares her own Alpha and Omega of the art of education. Try to leave the child in peace; live your own life beautifully, nobly, temperately, and in so living you will sufficiently teach your children to live.

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.

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.

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.

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
