Download or read book On Marriage written by Devorah Baum and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compulsively readable, startling, and philosophically rich book about marriage, from an acclaimed critic and filmmaker “Baum is an erudite and entertaining guide through the landscape of marriage. . . . A fascinating exploration.”—Stephanie Merritt, The Guardian “As far back as our history books go, we have no record of a time preceding marriage. Isn’t that an extraordinary fact?” So writes Devorah Baum in this searching and revelatory book. Marriage, for better or for worse, is how humans have organized their world and told their story. Straight, queer, coupled, single: none live outside the remit of marriage. One might as well try to live beyond language. But when confronted with the question “What do intellectuals think of marriage?” Baum concludes that most philosophers have preferred to avoid the subject. Is marriage then an intellectual blind spot? To fill in the gaps, she draws on a wide range of cultural material, from the classical to the contemporary, while interweaving reflections on her own experiences of matrimony to both critique and celebrate marriage’s many contradictions and its profound effects on us all. In doing so, she reveals how marriage has worked as a cover story for power and its abuses on the one hand, and for subversive and even utopian relational practices on the other. Entertaining, illuminating, consoling, and candid, On Marriage is an unprecedented investigation of what we are really talking about when we talk about marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seduced by Zionist slogans, young Isaac Kumer imagines the Land of Israel filled with the financial, social, and erotic opportunities that were denied him, the son of an impoverished shopkeeper, in Poland. Once there, he cannot find the agricultural work he anticipated. Instead Isaac happens upon house-painting jobs as he moves from secular, Zionist Jaffa, where the ideological fervor and sexual freedom are alien to him, to ultra-orthodox, anti-Zionist Jerusalem. While some of his Zionist friends turn capitalist, becoming successful merchants, his own life remains adrift and impoverished in a land torn between idealism and practicality, a place that is at once homeland and diaspora. Eventually he marries a religious woman in Jerusalem, after his worldly girlfriend in Jaffa rejects him.

To Cass's horror, when she wakes from her coma she has forgotten everything. But a school trip to a medieval fair stirs her memories and she is confronted with a menacing blast from her time-travelling past... "The crazy, upside-down, inside-out, mysterious, madcap and fun, fun, fun Pseudonymous Bosch is back with another extraordinary, out-of-this-world chapter in his seriously addictive children's ‘Secret Series'. Bursting out all over with comic characters and intriguing adventures, this is... top-class entertainment for kids aged 10 and over, combining comical capers with old-fashioned mystery, sparkling adventure and lashings of Bosch's zany humour." - Lancashire Evening Post
Download or read book Monologues In the House of Fun Mirrors written by Harold James Sachwald and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of poems is best enjoyed with a cup of tea, a favorite scented candle, and several flowers in water which will aid the journey toward nine mediative messages at the end. Are these lessons that will solve the dilemmas of the speakers? Conceptions that everyone must submerge themselves inside? Mediative experiences for survival? The poetry in Monologues In the House of Fun Mirrors develops through a design of multiple meanings, all of which dive deeply into the disposition, emotional state, and personality of each speaker. The prelude announces the mood of the Dream Circle. It’s an environmental pathway revealing the endless options in life. Much like the maze of mirrors in a funhouse carnival, fair, or amusement boardwalk, the reader will soon discover the journey we travel in life does not reflect so many illusionary appearances but rather ones of cause and effect. The subject matter and narrators in the Concave World and the Convex Realm show one commonality, an analysis of psychological moments in the human mind. But that’s where it all ends. What further takes place is left for unearthing by the reader. Each dramatic monologue epitomizes indescribable experiences and word pictures to portray meaning and insight about ways of behaving, passions connected to desires, sensations linked to rages, visions of innocence and experience, and psychosocial influences tied to obsessions. The poems in the Concave World function as a map for a networking journey into a complicated world of distortions similar to the curved interior images in a house of fun mirrors. Once entered, the innocent fun evolves into confusion where everyone must come face to face with their surrealistic selves. The heightened stream-of-consciousness voices in the Convex Realm exhibit human beings on the verge of frightful remembrance and forgetfulness where they’re attempting to seek some type of closure while at the same time they’re unaware of the voyages of their unconscious minds not formed by personal encounters in their real environments.
Download or read book Timing the Infinite written by Nathaniel Schmeling and published by Nathaniel Schmeling. This book was released on with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College programmer Stranger is an anxiety-ridden over-thinker who takes psychoactive drugs while contemplating the heretical philosophical gambit of techno-anarchy to Satanism. Masking this underlying nerdiness with the public persona of an alpha-male heavy drinking frat star, he's coming to age as a mixed kid whose parents were born during the Civil Rights movement; one generation removed, he is increasingly forced to confront the myths of a post-racial America. Oh, and because these daily identity crises didn't cause enough trouble, Stranger falls in love for the first time, despite never having had a girlfriend or sex sober. He's become enthralled with the demure, soulfully morbid Gunny, who not only has a boyfriend but self-esteem issues that manifest in the self-harm practice of cutting, and she isn't exactly ready to leave the one guy who's supported her throughout the addiction. But don't worry, Stranger doesn't navigate this collegiate underworld alone, he has a whole cast of equally brilliant but disturbed misfits for his hedonistic, poetical high-romance odyssey. And throughout the chronicles of these madcap, absurdist tales, Stranger learns of the limits to love and the pains to be temporary, of failing friendships and intimate escapades, of youth and the aging world.
