    Description wiki: (original Norwegian title: En folkefiende), an 1882 play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, followed his previous play, Ghosts, which criticized the hypocrisy of his societys moral code. Ibsen, Ellen Mortensen (Ibsen Studies v.7, 169) argues, wrote An Enemy of the People in response to the public outcry against Ghosts, which openly discussed adultery and syphilis. That response included accusations of both Ghosts and its author being “scandalous,” “degenerate,” and “immoral.” In An Enemy of the People, a man dares to expose an unpalatable truth publicly and is punished for it. However, Ibsen took a somewhat skeptical view of his protagonist, suggesting that he may have gone too far in his zeal to tell the truth. Ibsen wrote to his publisher: “I am still uncertain as to whether I should call [An Enemy of the People] a comedy or a straight drama. It may [have] many traits of comedy, but it also is based on a serious idea.

    Description Good Reads: In An Enemy of the People, Ibsen places his main characters, Dr. Thomas Stockman, in the role of an enlightened and persecuted minority of one confronting an ignorant, powerful majority. When the physician learns that the famous and financially successful baths in his hometown are contaminated, he insists they be shut down for expensive repairs. For his honesty, he is persecuted, ridiculed, and declared an “enemy of the people” by the townspeople, included some who have been his closest allies. First staged in 1883, An Enemy of the People remains one of the most frequently performed plays by a writer considered by many the “father of modern drama.”

    Description Penquin: Dr. Stockmann attempts to expose a water pollution scandal in his home town which is about to establish itself as a spa. When his brother, the mayor, conspires with local politicians and the newspaper to suppress the story, Stockmann appeals to the public meeting only to be shouted down and reviled as an enemy of the people . Ibsen s explosive play reveals his distrust of politicians and the blindly held prejudices of the solid majority

In this play an honest physician, Dr. Thomas Stockman, discovers water pollution in baths in his hometown which is trying to establish itself as a spa destination. He tries to expose the truth but is persecuted by a powerful and corrupt majority. For exposing an unpalatable truth publicly, the doctor is eventually labeled an enemy of the people. Ibsen wrote Enemy of the People in response to the reception of his previous play Ghosts which criticized the hypocrisy of his societys moral code and led the playwright to be labeled “scandalous,” “degenerate,” and “immoral.”

    Description wiki: first published in 1597[1] by King James VI of Scotland (later also James I of England) as a philosophical dissertation on contemporary necromancy and the historical relationships between the various methods of divination used from ancient black magic. It was reprinted again in 1603 when James took the throne of England. This included a study on demonology and the methods demons used to bother troubled men. It also touches on topics such as werewolves and vampires. It was a political yet theological statement to educate a misinformed populace on the history, practices and implications of sorcery and the reasons for persecuting a witch in a Christian society under the rule of canonical law. This book is believed to be one of the main sources used by William Shakespeare in the production of Macbeth. Shakespeare attributed many quotes and rituals found within the book directly to the Weird Sisters, yet also attributed the Scottish themes and settings referenced from the trials in which King James was involved.

    Description Good Reads: The first text presented here, written by James I of England, is a wide-ranging discussion of witchcraft, necromancy, possession, demons, were-wolves, fairies and ghosts, in the form of a Socratic dialogue. The second text is a sensational historical account of Scottish witch persecution and is one of the sources cited by Margaret Murray. I have taken some care to transcribe these historical documents letter for letter, without any attempt at correction or modernization of spelling. These documents exemplify the convoluted intellectual rationalizations used to justify the barbaric witch hunts. The texts were scanned from an early 20th Century reprint.

    Description wiki: (WWR; German: Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung, WWV) is the central work of the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. The first edition was published in late 1818, with the date 1819 on the title-page.[1] A second, two-volume edition appeared in 1844: volume one was an edited version of the 1818 edition, while volume two consisted of commentary on the ideas expounded in volume one. A third expanded edition was published in 1859, the year prior to Schopenhauers death. In 1948, an abridged version was edited by Thomas Mann.[2] In the summer of 1813, Schopenhauer submitted his doctoral dissertation On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason and was awarded a doctorate from the University of Jena. After spending the following winter in Weimar, he lived in Dresden and published his treatise On Vision and Colours in 1816. Schopenhauer spent the next several years working on his chief work, The World as Will and Representation. Schopenhauer asserted that the work is meant to convey a “single thought”[3] from various perspectives. He develops his philosophy over four books covering epistemology, ontology, aesthetics, and ethics. Following these books is an appendix containing Schopenhauer s detailed Criticism of the Kantian Philosophy. Taking the transcendental idealism of Immanuel Kant as his starting point, Schopenhauer argues that the world humans experience around them the world of objects in space and time and related in causal ways exists solely as representation (Vorstellung) dependent on a cognizing subject, not as a world that can be considered to exist in itself (i.e. independently of how it appears to the subject s mind). Ones knowledge of objects is thus knowledge of mere phenomena rather than things-in-themselves. Schopenhauer identifies the thing-in-itself the inner essence of everything as will: a blind, unconscious, aimless striving devoid of knowledge, outside of space and time, and free of all multiplicity. The world as representation is, therefore, the objectification of the will. Aesthetic experiences release a person briefly from his endless servitude to the will, which is the root of suffering. True redemption from life, Schopenhauer asserts, can only result from the total ascetic negation of the will to life. Schopenhauer notes fundamental agreements between his philosophy, Platonism, and the philosophy of the ancient Indian Vedas. The World as Will and Representation marked the pinnacle of Schopenhauers philosophical thought; he spent the rest of his life refining, clarifying, and deepening the ideas presented in this work without any fundamental changes. The first edition was met with near-universal silence. The second edition of 1844 similarly failed to attract any interest. At the time, post-Kantian German academic philosophy was dominated by the German Idealists foremost among them G. W. F. Hegel, whom Schopenhauer bitterly denounced as a “charlatan”. It was not until the publication of his Parerga and Paralipomena in 1851 that Schopenhauer began to see the start of the recognition that eluded him for so long.

    Description Good Reads: The World as Will and Idea (1819) holds that all nature, including man, is the expression of an insatiable will to life; that the truest understanding of the world comes through art and the only lasting good through ascetic renunciation. Unique in western philosophy for his affinity with Eastern thought, Schopenhauer influenced philosophers, writers, and composers including Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Wagner, Tolstoy, Thomas Mann, and Samuel Beckett. The Work presented here appeals not only to the student of philosophy but everyone interested in psychology, literature and eastern and western religion

    Description wiki: Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of American educator Booker T. Washington (1856 1915). The book describes his personal experience of having to work to rise up from the position of a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton Institute, to his work establishing vocational schools most notably the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama to help black people and other disadvantaged minorities learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps. He reflects on the generosity of both teachers and philanthropists who helped in educating Black people and Native Americans. He describes his efforts to instill manners, breeding, health and a feeling of dignity to students. His educational philosophy stresses combining academic subjects with learning a trade (something which is reminiscent of the educational theories of John Ruskin). Washington explained that the integration of practical subjects is partly designed to reassure the white community as to the usefulness of educating Black people. This book was first released as a serialized work in 1900 through The Outlook, a Christian newspaper of New York. This work was serialized because this meant that during the writing process, Washington was able to hear critiques and requests from his audience and could more easily adapt his paper to his diverse audience.[1] First Cover of The Outlook newspaper Washington was a controversial figure in his own lifetime, and W. E. B. Du Bois, among others, criticized some of his views. The book was a best-seller, and remained the most popular African American autobiography until that of Malcolm X.[2] In 1998, the Modern Library listed the book at No. 3 on its list of the 100 best nonfiction books of the 20th century, and in 1999 it was also listed by the conservative Intercollegiate Review as one of the “50 Best Books of the Twentieth Century

    Description Good Reads: Booker T. Washington, the most recognized national leader, orator and educator, emerged from slavery in the deep south, to work for the betterment of African Americans in the post Reconstruction period. “Up From Slavery” is an autobiography of Booker T. Washingtons life and work, which has been the source of inspiration for all Americans. Washington reveals his inner most thoughts as he transitions from ex-slave to teacher and founder of one of the most important schools for African Americans in the south, The Tuskegee Industrial Institute

    Description Original: Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of American educator Booker T. Washington. Washington was born into slavery during the era of the Civil war and rose to become an esteemed educator who established several vocational schools as well as The Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. His goal was to help d disadvantaged minorities learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps. His educational philosophy stressed combining academic subjects with learning a trade (something which is reminiscent of the educational theories of John Ruskin). Washington explained that the integration of practical subjects is partly designed to reassure the white community as to the usefulness of educating Black people. W.E.B. Dubois thought that Washington s strategy would serve only to perpetuate White oppression. The African American community of the time was polarized but these notions of how best to achieve freedom from discrimination with Dubois followers urging protest and agitation while Washinton s followers urged accepting for the moment the status quo and building up their community within the current system. Up From Slavery remains one of the most powerful personal memoirs from a self-made man who overcame extraordinary obstacles to not only succeed but devote his life to the success of others.

    Description wiki: (/?s?r?no? d? ?b??r??r k, – ?b??r-/ SIRR-?-noh d? BUR-zh?-rak, BAIR-, French: [savinj?? d(?) si?ano d(?) b?????ak]; 6[note 1] March 1619 28 July 1655) was a French novelist, playwright, epistolarian, and duelist. A bold and innovative author, his work was part of the libertine literature of the first half of the seventeenth century. Today, he is best known as the inspiration for Edmond Rostands most noted drama Cyrano de Bergerac (1897), which, although it includes elements of his life, also contains invention and myth. Since the 1970s, there has been a resurgence in the study of Cyrano, demonstrated in the abundance of theses, essays, articles and biographies published in France and elsewhere

    Description Good Reads: This is Edmond Rostands immortal play in which chivalry and wit, bravery and love are forever captured in the timeless spirit of romance. Set in Louis XIIIs reign, it is the moving and exciting drama of one of the finest swordsmen in France, gallant soldier, brilliant wit, tragic poet-lover with the face of a clown. Rostands extraordinary lyric powers gave birth to a universal hero–Cyrano De Bergerac–and ensured his own reputation as author of one of the best-loved plays in the literature of the stage. This translation, by the American poet Brian Hooker, is nearly as famous as the original play itself, and is generally considered to be one of the finest English verse translations ever written

    Description Penquin: Cyrano de Bergerac occupies a unique place in the modern theater. Deliberately disavowing realism and contemporary relevance, Edmond Rostand s masterpiece represents a turning back in both time and spirit to an earlier age of high adventure and soaring idealism. Its magnificent hero, Cyrano noble of soul and grotesque in appearance, gallant Gascon soldier, brilliant wit, and timid lover, alternately comic, heroic, tragic represents one of the most challenging of all acting roles in its complexity and mercurial changes of mood. From its original production to the present day, Cyrano de Bergerac has enjoyed a charmed existence on the stage, its unflagging pace of action and eloquence of language enchanting critics and public alike. Here, in a superlative translation, is the ultimate triumph of the great French romantic tradition a work which, in the words of the French critic Lema tre, prolongs, unites and blends three centuries of comic fantasy and moral grace.

    Additional Research:

    Description Original: Cyrano de Bergerac is Edmond Rostand s timeless play about a nobleman in the French Army who is not only a brash, strong-willed man of many talents but a remarkable duelist, a gifted, joyful poet, and a musical artist. Noble of soul, but grotesque in appearance, he believes his ugliness will prevent him from the dream of being loved by even an ugly woman. He is desperately in love with his beautiful and intelligent cousin Roxanne and cannot express his love because of his insecurities. One of the most beloved plays for generations noted for its eloquent language, fast-paced adventure, and universal themes of love, idealism, and moral grace. This superlative translation by Gladys Thomas and Mary F. Guillemard captures the richness of the language and the tone of the French Romantic tradition.

There have been a thousand tales of future Utopias and possible civilizations. They have been ruled by benevolent dictatorships and pure democracies, every form of government from extreme right to absolute left. All over the world, financial and governmental systems have collapsed under the weight of their own red tape and bureaucracy. Most of the world had regressed into savagery. The hopelessly corrupt old North American government had been driven literally into the sea, but made occasional forays onto the mainland from bases on the coastal fringes of a Europe that had returned to the Dark Ages.

    Description wiki: Larry Thomas buys a cuckoo clock for his wife Doris, just like her mother had. He makes clear that he bought it wholesale and otherwise ruins the moment. Doris talks to the cuckoo and becomes convinced that the cuckoo likes her but does not like Larry. Larry is being cuckolded by antique-enthusiast Bob Chambers. When he is at the Thomas house, and Doris is showing him the clock, Larry returns home unexpectedly and catches them; he throws both out but keeps the clock because he paid for it. Larry keeps winding the clock because he dislikes the empty, quiet house. The clock sometimes does not chime for Larry, who ends up arguing with the cuckoo for not coming out when he should. Eventually, he threatens the clock with a hammer. At this point the cuckoo comes out and catches him in the eye, causing him to fall off a chair and break his neck in the fall. His death is judged an accident by a doctor but Bob thinks “something else” might be the cause.

    Description Good Reads: “Did you ever wonder at the lonely life the bird in a cuckoo clock has to lead –” wrote the editor of “Fantastic Universe” in January, 1954, blurbing this tale “– that it might possibly love and hate just as easily as a real animal of flesh and blood? Philip Dick used that idea for this brief fantasy tale. Were sure that after reading it youll give cuckoo clocks more respect.” But certainly Doris Thomas respected the clock. She went to it after the little bird came out to do his thing. She bent over the little door, her lips close to the wood. “Do you hear me?” she whispered. “I think youre the most wonderful cuckoo in the world.” She paused, embarrassed. “I hope youll like it here.” Youve got to know he did. .
