The author subtly and convincingly brings neglected dimensions of De Quincey's early politics to the fore and examines often overlooked essays to present a fresh interpretation of this oeuvre.\" \"De Quincey's relations with Coleridge, Wordsworth, Burke, Kant, and the Liverpool literary society of Roscoe, Currie and others are investigated and his critical development is mapped out with regard to leading political concerns of he period such as revolution, reform and colonial expansion.

World War II continues, and Ada and her brother, Jamie, are living with their loving legal guardian, Susan, in a borrowed cottage on the estate of the formidable Lady Thorton--along with Lady Thorton herself and her daughter, Maggie. Life in the crowded cottage is tense enough, and then, quite suddenly, Ruth, a Jewish girl from Germany, moves in. A German? The occupants of the house are horrified.

In centering Black women's stories, two award-winning historians seek both to empower African American women and to show their allies that Black women's unique ability to make their own communities while combatting centuries of oppression is an essential component in our continued resistance to systemic racism and sexism. Daina Ramey Berry and Kali Nicole Gross offer an examination and celebration of Black womanhood, beginning with the first African women who arrived in what became the United States to African American women of today. A Black Women's History of the United States reaches far beyond a single narrative to showcase Black women's lives in all their fraught complexities. Berry and Gross prioritize many voices: enslaved women, freedwomen, religious leaders, artists, queer women, activists, and women who lived outside the law.

In July 1916 a lone Great White left its usual deep-ocean habitat and headed in the direction of the New Jersey shoreline. There, near the towns of Beach Haven and Spring Lake--and, incredibly, a farming community eleven miles inland--the most ferocious and unpredictable of predators began a deadly rampage: the first shark attacks on swimmers in U.S. history. Capuzzo interweaves a vivid portrait of the era and meticulously drawn characters with chilling accounts of the shark's five attacks and the frenzied hunt that ensued. From the unnerving inevitability of the first attack on the esteemed son of a prosperous Philadelphia physician to the spine-tingling moment when a farm boy swimming in Matawan Creek feels the sandpaper-like skin of the passing shark, Close to Shore is an undeniably gripping saga. Heightening the drama are stories of the resulting panic in the citizenry, press and politicians, and of colorful personalities such as Herman Oelrichs, a flamboyant millionaire who made a bet that a shark was no match for a man (and set out to prove it); Museum of Natural History ichthyologist John Treadwell Nichols, faced with the challenge of stopping a mythic sea creature about which little was known; and, most memorable, the rogue Great White itself moving through a world that couldn't conceive of either its destructive power or its moral right to destroy. Scrupulously researched and superbly written, Close to Shore brings to life a breathtaking, pivotal moment in American history. Masterfully written and suffused with fascinating period detail and insights into the science and behavior of sharks, Close to Shore recounts a breathtaking, pivotal moment in American history with startling immediacy.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25r7m7g5ze9ze1ptrmytnp.jpg?v=580bef43d4","LPDvclRkoJj]~qfRaej[xaaya|jt",336,[429],{"id":430,"slug":431,"name":432},"01kx25r7m1j3b8yt3g1vsbacd4","michael-capuzzo-quv8","Michael Capuzzo",[434,438,442],{"id":435,"name":436,"slug":437,"is_fiction":17},140,"Adventure","adventure",{"id":439,"name":440,"slug":441,"is_fiction":18},93,"Nature","nature",{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":202,"complexity":7,"audience":171,"mood":445,"themes":446,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[134,204],[],{"id":448,"slug":449,"title":450,"description":451,"primary_cover_url":452,"cover_blurhash":453,"first_publish_year":454,"community_rating_avg":266,"community_rating_count":107,"page_count":14,"authors":455,"genres":460,"series":466,"enrichment":467},"01kx26p9x2tr7z6y7fjg1eczxc","the-modernity-of-witchcraft-politics-and-the-occult-in-postcolonial-africa-ayto","The Modernity of Witchcraft Politics and the Occult in Postcolonial Africa","To many Westerners, the disappearance of African traditions of witchcraft might seem inevitable wuth continued modernization. In The Modernity of Witchcraft, Peter Geschieres uses his own experiences among the Maka and in other parts of eastern and southern Cameroon, as well as other anthropological research, to argue that contemporary ideas and practices of witchcraft are more a response to modern exigencies than a lingering cultural custom. The prevalence of witchcraft, especially in African politics and entrepreneurship, demonstrates the unlikely balance it has achieved with the forces of modernity. Geshiere explores why modern techniques and commodities, usually of Western Provenance, have become central in rumors of the occult.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26p9xjf4zd9788rgc84ngz.jpg?v=368ad55854","L5CPV9?^8wKi0Nt7ozjZ00D%?bV@",1997,[456],{"id":457,"slug":458,"name":459},"01kx26p9xdtr875q86dc85wq6r","peter-geschiere-dwaw","Peter Geschiere",[461,462],{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":463,"name":464,"slug":465,"is_fiction":18},106,"Religion","religion",[],{"pace":170,"complexity":7,"audience":171,"mood":468,"themes":470,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[469,204],"intellectual",[],{"id":472,"slug":473,"title":474,"description":475,"primary_cover_url":476,"cover_blurhash":477,"first_publish_year":478,"community_rating_avg":106,"community_rating_count":107,"page_count":427,"authors":479,"genres":484,"series":488,"enrichment":489},"01kx26t0a3tz8hpv509x3djyp8","the-bielski-brothers-the-true-story-of-three-men-who-defied-the-nazis-built-a-village-in-the-forest-and-saved-1200-jews-y9ga","The Bielski Brothers The True Story of Three Men Who Defied the Nazis, Built a Village in the Forest, and Saved 1,200 Jews","In 1941, three brothers witnessed their parents and two other siblings being led away to their eventual murders. It was a grim scene that would, of course, be repeated endlessly throughout the war. Instead of running or giving in to despair, these brothers -- Tuvia, Zus, and Asael Bielski -- fought back, waging a guerrilla war of wits against the Nazis. By using their intimate knowledge of the dense forests surrounding the Belarusan towns of Novogrudek and Lida, the Bielskis evaded the Nazis and established a hidden base camp, then set about convincing other Jews to join their ranks. As more and more Jews arrived each day, a robust community began to emerge, a \"Jerusalem in the woods.\" After two and a half years in the woods, in July 1944, the Bielskis learned that the Germans, overrun by the Red Army, were retreating back toward Berlin. More than one thousand Bielski Jews emerged -- alive -- on that final, triumphant exit from the woods.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26t0agg1ngvkhhv9yyt2km.jpg?v=9d4bff31dd","L6BWSR1401IB~mEhVuxa02$xShtR",2004,[480],{"id":481,"slug":482,"name":483},"01kqn921tw9va8xzsx6y3tqy1w","peter-duffy-evzb","Peter Duffy",[485,486,487],{"id":120,"name":121,"slug":122,"is_fiction":17},{"id":226,"name":227,"slug":228,"is_fiction":18},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":202,"complexity":7,"audience":171,"mood":490,"themes":491,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[134,233],[],{"key":493,"params":494,"works":495},"genre",{"genre":28},[496,523,535,547,572,598],{"id":497,"slug":498,"title":499,"description":500,"primary_cover_url":501,"cover_blurhash":502,"first_publish_year":265,"community_rating_avg":266,"community_rating_count":107,"page_count":503,"authors":504,"genres":509,"series":519,"enrichment":520},"01kx266qjcyjwesd15qm19wzcf","imagined-london-a-tour-of-the-worlds-greatest-fictional-city-usi4","Imagined London A Tour of the World's Greatest Fictional City","Anna Quindlen first visited London from a chair in her suburban Philadelphia home—in one of her beloved childhood mystery novels. She has been back to London countless times since, through the pages of books and in person, and now, in Imagined London, she takes her own readers on a tour of this greatest of literary cities.While New York, Paris, and Dublin are also vividly portrayed in fiction, it is London, Quindlen argues, that has always been the star, both because of the primacy of English literature and the specificity of city descriptions. She bases her view of the city on her own detailed literary map, tracking the footsteps of her favorite characters: the places where Evelyn Waugh's bright young things danced until dawn, or where Lydia Bennett eloped with the dastardly Wickham.In Imagined London, Quindlen walks through the city, moving within blocks from the great books of the 19th century to the detective novels of the 20th to the new modernist tradition of the 21st. With wit and charm, Imagined London gives this splendid city its full due in the landscape of the literary imagination.Praise for Imagined London:\"Shows just how much a reading experience can enrich a physical journey.\" —New York Times Book Review\"An elegant new work of nonfiction...

On the day of the vote in Parliament, while the session was being filmed by TV cameras, a band of right-wing soldiers burst in with automatic weapons, ordering everyone to get down. Only three men defied the order. For thirty-five minutes, as the cameras rolled, they stayed in their seats.Critically adored novelist Javier Cercas originally set out to write a novel about this pivotal moment, but determined it had already gained an air of myth, or, through the annual broadcast of video clips, had at least acquired the fictional taint of reality television. Cercas turned to nonfiction, and his vivid descriptions of the archival footage frame a narrative that traverses the line between history and art, creating a daring new account of this watershed moment in modern Spanish history.The Anatomy of a Moment caused a sensation upon its publication in Spain, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. The story will be new to many American readers, but the book stands resolutely on its own as a compelling literary inquest of national myth, personal memory, political spectacle, and reality itself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx25pkb76xrh29vfj8vdmy9k.jpg?v=d4bc1e6284","L5C=O_TFt5M~0$w{xZIq_r?Dxsf7",410,[556],{"id":557,"slug":558,"name":559},"01kpp8fzqbh54d1pzthf7rs9ky","javier-cercas-ivrl","Javier Cercas",[561,562,566],{"id":279,"name":280,"slug":281,"is_fiction":17},{"id":563,"name":564,"slug":565,"is_fiction":18},102,"Politics","politics",{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":130,"complexity":7,"audience":171,"mood":569,"themes":571,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[570,469],"thought-provoking",[],{"id":573,"slug":574,"title":575,"description":576,"primary_cover_url":577,"cover_blurhash":578,"first_publish_year":579,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":580,"authors":581,"genres":586,"series":594,"enrichment":595},"01kx24qp6r6fzmdtkdh730cfgm","the-man-who-played-with-fire-stieg-larssons-lost-files-and-the-hunt-for-an-assassin-p2d4","The Man who Played with Fire Stieg Larsson's Lost Files and the Hunt for an Assassin","\"A fascinating 'creative nonfiction' account of the greatest unsolved mystery in Swedish history.\" --Wall Street Journal \"It's more than just a thrilling book...There's a lot of evidence that points to an international conspiracy.\" --CBS This Morning Saturday The author of the Millennium novels laid out the clues. Now a journalist is following them. When Stieg Larsson died, the author of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo had been working on a true mystery that out-twisted his Millennium novels: the assassination on February 28, 1986, of Olof Palme, the Swedish prime minister. It was the first time in history that a head of state had been murdered without a clue who'd done it--and on a Stockholm street at point-blank range. Internationally known for his fictional villains, Larsson was well acquainted with their real-life counterparts and documented extremist activities throughout the world. For years he'd been amassing evidence that linked their terrorist acts to what he called \"one of the most astounding murder cases\" he'd ever covered. Larsson's archive was forgotten until journalist Jan Stocklassa was given exclusive access to the author's secret project. In The Man Who Played with Fire, Stocklassa collects the pieces of Larsson's true-crime puzzle to follow the trail of intrigue, espionage, and conspiracy begun by one of the world's most famous thriller writers. Together they set out to solve a mystery that no one else could.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24qp74ghhkeb2y0q5hd7zr.jpg?v=e13a6d24d3","L58;Y[tS0MWB{c-pJ8RjHYsmtRt6",2019,488,[582],{"id":583,"slug":584,"name":585},"01kx24qp70y5yfa0qj3kp7pkhq","jan-stocklassa-pbwk","Jan Stocklassa",[587,591,592,593],{"id":588,"name":589,"slug":590,"is_fiction":18},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":226,"name":227,"slug":228,"is_fiction":18},{"id":515,"name":516,"slug":517,"is_fiction":18},{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":202,"complexity":7,"audience":171,"mood":596,"themes":597,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[418,134],[],{"id":599,"slug":600,"title":601,"description":602,"primary_cover_url":603,"cover_blurhash":604,"first_publish_year":240,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":13,"page_count":605,"authors":606,"genres":611,"series":623,"enrichment":624},"01kx24ty5x3bbkyn2efjcrncca","we-keep-the-dead-close-t26i","We Keep the Dead Close","FINALIST FOR THE J.

You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn't let you forget. 1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard's Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment. Forty years later, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she'd threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumor proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a 'cowboy culture' among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims. We Keep the Dead Close is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny, and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman's past onto another's present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx24ty6chtk2grbfg6kgrsxs.jpg?v=767733e173","LMJ5fvxa;mxGUbrr$RR*~qS#S1X8",506,[607],{"id":608,"slug":609,"name":610},"01kx24ty66bh7wcc4904r1v7a4","becky-cooper-t3yy","Becky Cooper",[612,613,614,618,619],{"id":588,"name":589,"slug":590,"is_fiction":18},{"id":226,"name":227,"slug":228,"is_fiction":18},{"id":615,"name":616,"slug":617,"is_fiction":18},79,"Education","education",{"id":27,"name":28,"slug":29,"is_fiction":18},{"id":620,"name":621,"slug":622,"is_fiction":18},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":130,"complexity":7,"audience":171,"mood":625,"themes":626,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[134,204,570],[627],"mystery-box",[]]
