Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf - Bog - HarperCollins Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf - Bog - HarperCollins Publishers - Plusbog.dk

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.Clarissa Dalloway is a woman of high-society – vivacious, hospitable and sociable on the surface, yet underneath troubled and dissatisfied with her life in post-war Britain. This disillusionment is an emotion that bubbles under the surface of all of Woolf’s characters in Mrs Dalloway.Centred around one day in June where Clarissa is preparing for and holding a party, her interior monologue mingles with those of the other central characters in a stream of consciousness, entwining, yet never actually overriding the pervading sense of isolation that haunts each person.One of Virginia Woolf’s most accomplished novels, Mrs Dalloway is widely regarded as one of the most revolutionary works of the 20th century in its style and the themes that it tackles. The sense that Clarissa has married the wrong person, her past love for another female friend and the death of an intended party guest all serve to amplify this stultifying existence.

In The Shadow Of Death - R. Blaumanis - Bog - Momentum Books - Plusbog.dk

In The Shadow Of Death - R. Blaumanis - Bog - Momentum Books - Plusbog.dk

Rudolfs Blaumanis's 1899 short story masterpiece, based on a contemporary newspaper account, tells of several fishermen lost at sea after the ice floe on which they work calves off and drifts away rapidly. One by one, the thirteen men and a boy must deal with the creeping reality that they may not see the mainland -- or their loved ones -- again. There is fish to eat, and two horses if necessary, but the very surface of the floe is eroding steadily ... and the nights are cold and terrible. Without ever moralising or over-elaborating, Blaumanis coolly and efficiently observes the state of each of the main characters in turn, whether natural leaders, optimists, craven opportunists, terrified, stoic, compassionate or alienated. In the shadow of encroaching death, each must come to some kind of reckoning.

Reckoning - Hirshman Linda Hirshman - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

Reckoning - Hirshman Linda Hirshman - Bog - HarperCollins - Plusbog.dk

The first history—incisive, witty, fascinating—of the fight against sexual harassment, from the author of the New York Times bestseller Sisters in Law Linda Hirshman, acclaimed historian of social movements, delivers the sweeping story of the struggle leading up to #MeToo and beyond: from the first tales of workplace harassment percolating to the surface in the 1970s to the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal—when liberal women largely forgave Clinton, giving men a free pass for two decades. Many liberals even resisted the movement to end rape on campus. And yet, legal, political, and cultural efforts, often spearheaded by women of color, were quietly paving the way for the takedown of abusers and harassers. Reckoning delivers the stirring tale of a movement catching fire as pioneering women in the media exposed the Harvey Weinsteins of the world, women flooded the political landscape, and the walls of male privilege finally began to crack. This is revelatory, essential social history.

The Spirit of Kindness - White Eagle Calendar 2023 - White Eagle - Bog - White Eagle Publishing Trust - Plusbog.dk

The Spirit of Kindness - White Eagle Calendar 2023 - White Eagle - Bog - White Eagle Publishing Trust - Plusbog.dk

The White Eagle teaching encourages kindness through the cultivation of tolerance, understanding, listening with the heart, comforting, bringing balance, trusting, seeing the best in others and smiling. We are shown ways in which we can cultivate this kindness within ourselves, and nurture it in others. The effects of this are personal growth and the development of a nurturing society. From a broader perspective White Eagle sees that, given the opportunity, little and great acts of kindness will manifest. This is something we have seen demonstrated a great deal over the past few years. The sayings in the calendar are accompanied by beautiful photos; many are flowers taken from a close-up angle - a reflection of the way White Eagle asks us to look out at the world, seeing through what is on the surface to the heart of others and responding to that with a spirit of kindness. The calendar is spiral-bound to be hung with a cardboard backing so it can also be placed on a desk or table.
