The Angel of the Odd (+Biography and Bibliography) (6X9po Matte Cover Finish): IT WAS a chilly November afternoon. I had just consummated an unusually hearty dinner, of which the dyspeptic truffe formed not the least important item, and was sitting alone in the dining-room, with my feet upon the fender, and at my elbow a small table which I had rolled up to the fire, and upon which were some apologies for dessert, with some miscellaneous bottles of wine, spirit, and liqueur. In the morning I had been reading Glover's "Leonidas," Wilkies "Epigoniad," Lamartine's "Pilgrimage," Barlow's "Columbiad," Tuckermann's "Sicily," and Griswold's "Curiosities"; I am willing to confess, therefore, that I now felt a little stupid. I made effort to arouse myself by aid of frequent Lafitte, and, all failing, I betook myself to a stray newspaper in despair. Having carefully perused the column of "houses to let," and the column of "dogs lost," and then the two columns of "wives and apprentices runaway," I attacked with great resolution the editorial matter, and, reading it from beginning to end without understanding a syllable, conceived the possibility of its being Chinese, and so re-read it from the end to the beginning, but with no more satisfactory result. I was about throwing away, in disgust, This folio of four pages, happy work, Which not even poets criticise, when I felt my attention somewhat aroused by the paragraph which follows: ...

Look Homeward, Angel

In "Look Homeward, Angel," Thomas Wolfe weaves a poignant tapestry of life in early 20th-century America through the lens of the Gants, a fictional family in the town of Altamont, North Carolina. Employing a vivid and lyrical prose style, Wolfe combines stream-of-consciousness narration with rich, impressionistic descriptions that evoke both the beauty and hardships of his characters' lives. The narrative follows young Eugene Gant as he grapples with his identity against the backdrop of familial strife and the search for meaning, reflecting the broader themes of aspiration and self-discovery. This semi-autobiographical novel reflects the Southern Gothic tradition while also evoking modernist sensibilities, situating itself amidst the literary movements that sought to encapsulate the tumultuous human experience of the era. Thomas Wolfe, born in Asheville, North Carolina, drew heavily from his own tumultuous upbringing and complex relationships, infusing his work with deep psychological insight and emotional resonance. His keen observations of social dynamics and personal ambitions stem from his struggles with familial expectations and his quest for artistic authenticity. Wolfe's passionate exploration of the human condition in this novel mirrors his life as a young man finding his voice and navigating the contours of American society. "Look Homeward, Angel" is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricacies of human relationships and the quest for self in the face of societal constraints. Wolfe's masterful storytelling invites readers to reflect on their own journeys, making this novel a timeless exploration of youth, ambition, and the quest for belonging.

Seducing an Angel

BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Mary Balogh's The Secret Mistress. In a time unlike any other, a family you’ll never forget . . . Meet the Huxtables—three headstrong sisters and their dashing brother—each searching for love that’s always a shocking indiscretion away. . . . In her magnificent new novel, New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh sweeps us into a world of scandal and intrigue—glittering Regency England—and introduces the youngest Huxtable: Stephen, the only son. Here Stephen will risk his reputation and his heart as he enters a scandalous liaison with the infamous beauty intent on seduction. But when passion turns the tables on them both, who can say who has seduced whom? He must be wealthy, wellborn, and want her more than he wants any other woman. Those are the conditions that must be met by the man Cassandra Belmont chooses for her lover. Marriage is out of the question for the destitute widow who stands accused of murdering her husband and must now barter her beauty in order to survive. With seduction in mind, she sets her sights on Stephen Huxtable, the irresistibly attractive Earl of Merton and London’s most eligible bachelor. But Stephen’s first intriguing glimpse of the mysterious, alluring Lady Paget convinces him that he has found the ideal woman to share his bed. There is only one caveat. This relationship fueled by mutual pleasure must be on his terms. As the two warily circle each other in a sensual dance of attack and retreat, a single night of passion alters all the rules. Cassandra, whose reputation is already in tatters, is now in danger of losing the one thing she vowed never to give. And Stephen, who wants Cassandra more than he has ever wanted any woman, won’t rest until she has surrendered everything—not as his mistress—but as his lover and wife. . . .

Phaedrus

Dialog tentang Cinta, Kematian, Takdir, dan Arti Menjadi Manusia

Dialog ini secara normal terbagi menjadi tiga bagian, yang masing-masing sesuai dengan karakter Gorgias, Polus, dan Callicles; dan bentuk serta caranya berubah seiring dengan tahapan argumen. Socrates bersikap hormat kepada Gorgias, menyenangkan namun tajam dalam menghadapi Polus yang masih muda, ironis dan sarkastik dalam pertemuannya dengan Callicles. Seperti dalam dialog-dialog lainnya, dalam dialog ini Socrates adalah musuh kaum Sofis dan ahli retorika; dan juga para negarawan, yang ia anggap sebagai bentuk lain dari jenis yang sama. Perilakunya diatur oleh perilaku lawan-lawannya; keangkuhan atau keegoisan di pihak mereka ditanggapi dengan ironi yang sama di pihak Socrates. Dalam Phaedrus kita menemukan pula mitos lain ciptaan Plato. Mitos ini membahas kehidupan lampau. Ia menggambarkan konflik antara akal budi yang dibantu oleh nafsu atau kemarahan yang benar di satu sisi, dan konflik antara nafsu dan naluri hewani di sisi lain. Jiwa manusia telah mengikuti jejak dewa tertentu dan melihat kebenaran dalam bentuk universal sebelum ia lahir di dunia ini. Kehidupan kita saat ini adalah hasil dari perjuangan yang dilakukan pada saat itu. Dunia ini bersifat relatif terhadap dunia lampau, karena sering kali diproyeksikan ke masa depan. Kita mengajukan pertanyaan “Di manakah manusia sebelum terlahir?” seperti halnya kita bertanya “Apa yang akan terjadi pada manusia setelah kematian?” Pertanyaan pertama tidak begitu lumrah dan karenanya tampak tidak wajar; tetapi jika kita mengamati seluruh umat manusia, pertanyaan ini sama berpengaruh dan tersebar luasnya seperti pertanyaan lainnya. Dalam Phaedrus, pertanyaan ini benar-benar merupakan kiasan yang menggambarkan “pertempuran spiritual” dalam kehidupan saat ini. Pengantar Dalam Phaedrus, Socrates berargumentasi dengan Gorgias, Polus, dan Callicles. Dialog ini secara normal terbagi menjadi tiga bagian. Temanya membentang dari persoalan retorika hingga predestinasi manusia.
