As a City on a Hill: The Story of America's Most Famous Lay Sermon
by Daniel T. RodgersHow an obscure Puritan sermon came to be seen as a founding document of American identity and exceptionalism“For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill,” John Winthrop warned his fellow Puritans at New England’s founding in 1630. More than three centuries later, Ronald Reagan remade that passage into a timeless celebration of American promise. How were Winthrop’s long-forgotten words reinvented as a central statement of American identity and exceptionalism? In As a City on a Hill, leading American intellectual historian Daniel Rodgers tells the surprising story of one of the most celebrated documents in the canon of the American idea. In doing so, he brings to life the ideas Winthrop’s text carried in its own time and the sharply different yearnings that have been attributed to it since.As a City on a Hill shows how much more malleable, more saturated with vulnerability, and less distinctly American Winthrop’s “Model of Christian Charity” was than the document that twentieth-century Americans invented. Across almost four centuries, Rodgers traces striking shifts in the meaning of Winthrop’s words—from Winthrop’s own anxious reckoning with the scrutiny of the world, through Abraham Lincoln’s haunting reference to this “almost chosen people,” to the “city on a hill” that African Americans hoped to construct in Liberia, to the era of Donald Trump.As a City on a Hill reveals the circuitous, unexpected ways Winthrop’s words came to lodge in American consciousness. At the same time, the book offers a probing reflection on how nationalism encourages the invention of “timeless” texts to straighten out the crooked realities of the past.
As a Man Grows Older (New York Review Books. Classics #No. 25)
by Italo Svevo Beryl De ZoeteNot so long ago Emilio Brentani was a promising young author. Now he is an insurance agent on the fast track to forty. He gains a new lease on life, though, when he falls for the young and gorgeous Angiolina--except that his angel just happens to be an unapologetic cheat. But what begins as a comedy of infatuated misunderstanding ends in tragedy, as Emilio's jealous persistence in his folly--against his friends' and devoted sister's advice, and even his own best knowledge--leads to the loss of the one person who, too late, he realizes he truly loves.Marked by deep humanity and earthy humor, by psychological insight and an elegant simplicity of style, As a Man Grows Older (Senilità, in Italian; the English title was the suggestion of Svevo's great friend and admirer, James Joyce) is a brilliant study of hopeless love and hapless indecision. It is a masterwork of Italian literature, here beautifully rendered into English in Beryl de Zoete's classic translation.-Print ed."The poem of our complex modern madness."--EUGENIO MONTALE"Svevo has the capacity--so rare as to be almost unknown in the English novel--of handling emotional relationships with a combined tenderness, humour and realism."--THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
As affecting the fate of my absent husband
by Erika Behrisch Elce Lady Jane FranklinFrom her optimistic requests to whaling ships to her persistent demands for Admiralty aid, Lady Franklin played a crucial role in the search for her husband. Her correspondence with British prime ministers, members of Parliament, lords of the Admiralty, and a US president presents a private, domestic side to a national tragedy and sheds new light on what Sir John Franklin's disappearance meant to England, its public, and its sense of itself as an imperial power. With comprehensive annotations, a descriptive timeline, and an introduction that outlines the significance of Lady Franklin's contribution to the "Arctic debate," As affecting the fate of my absent husband is a convincing portrait of the surprisingly disruptive effects - on both the public consciousness and the government bureaucracy - of a single, eloquent, voice of dissent.

As it Was
by Robert PennoyerAs It Was begins in an era of unprecedented wealth and privilege for some and great misery and poverty for others, - one that Mark Twain lampooned as the "Gilded Age," and ends, coming in effect full circle, in our own era of the One Per Cent, as the income chasm in America reopens. What divides these periods, and is so impressively portrayed here, is the rise of American Progressivism led by the two Roosevelts. <P><P> Most importantly, this book is itself a demonstration of the values that boosted America on its path to greatness and for which no finer exemplar could be found than its author. It bespeaks a belief in democracy that is passionate and unshakable, and builds on a deep appreciation of the institutions that enable it. The spirit that flows through these pages may be modest, but it is also filled with an irrepressible optimism and a faith in simple values that are both uplifting and marvelously contagious. As It Was is a lesson in a life well lived, and a tonic for dark and troubled times. " -- Scott Horton, author ofLords of Secrecy: The National Security Elite and America's Stealth Warfare (2015), contributing editor,Harper's Magazine.
As mães
by Brit BennettO romance de estreia de Brit Bennett, autora do fenomenal A outra metade e herdeira da tradição literária norte-americana firmada por James Baldwin, Toni Morrison e Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Sobre o pano de fundo de uma comunidade afro-americana marcada pela religião, no Sul da Califórnia, As mães conta uma história comovente e perspicaz sobre amor e ambição. Tudo começa com um segredo: «Todos os bons segredos têm um determinado sabor antes de os contarmos, e, se tivéssemos demorado mais algum tempo a degustá-lo, teríamos porventura reparado na acidez típica de um segredo ainda por amadurar, colhido cedo demais, rapinado e propagado antes do tempo certo.» Nadia Turner está no fim do liceu e é uma adolescente rebelde, angustiada, muito bonita. Imersa no luto após o suicídio da mãe, envolve-se com Luke, um rapaz um pouco mais velho, filho do pastorda comunidade. São miúdos, não é nada sério. Mas desse romance resultará um segredo com um impacto duradouro. Pouco depois, Nadia abandona a terra natal, para forjar uma vida só sua. Os anos passam. Já adultos, Nadia, Luke e Aubrey, a melhor amiga, ainda vivem no rescaldo da escolha que fizeram naquele Verão à beira-mar, enredados num estranho triângulo amoroso e perseguidos pela dúvida: como seria agora, se tivessem, então, feito uma escolha diferente? Numa prosa encantatória e desafiante, As mães revela que as escolhas que seguimos deixam marca até ao fim. «Agridoce, sensual, moralmente desafiante.» The New York Times Book Review «Há romances que encontram o seu lugar enquanto os lemos e há romances que se tornam mais complexos quando pensamos neles retrospetivamente. Brit Bennettalcança aqui uma rara combinação, com um livro que vibra ao virar da página e que incita reflexão posterior.» The Washington Post Prémio Lire para Melhor Romance Estrangeiro Finalista do Prix Médicis e do PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction «Exuberante, cheio de segredos, traições e acertos de contas […]. A crescente complexidade das personagens determina a urgência deste romance.» The New York Times «As personagens deste livro transmitem uma mensagem fortíssima sobre culpa e vergonha, sobre as expectativas em torno do corpo das mulheres, sobre o que acontece quando as mulheres negras não se comportam como deveriam. […] Um romance maravilhosamente escrito e que permanece connosco - uma estreia impressionante para uma tão jovem escritora.» The Guardian«Brit Bennett é extremamente sagaz no que diz respeito à psicologia do comportamento humano. […] O tema da maternidade, declinado de várias formas neste romance, sejam 'mães de coração' ou 'mães de ventre', revela a preocupação da autora com a capacidade das mulheres para amarem e cuidarem.» The Irish Times «Um livro iniciático, subtil e inteligente, que aborda, de um só fôlego, o racismo, a amizade, as angústias com a imagem corporal, as dores da idade adulta. E o aborto.» Les Inrockuptibles «Este é um romance especial: sábio, triste e impressionante. Um livro sobre a forma como a adorável e esperançosa tragédia da nossa vida é determinada pelas escolhas que fazemos e pelas escolhas que outros fazem por nós.» Bookriot «Um romance de estreia brilhante e tumultuoso […], com um enredo delicadamente urdido.» Publishers Weekly

As the Dust of the Earth: The Literature of Abandonment in Revolutionary Russia and Ukraine (Jews in Eastern Europe)
by Harriet MuravAn estimated forty thousand Jews were murdered during the Russian Civil War between 1918 and 1922. As the Dust of the Earth examines the Yiddish and Russian literary response to the violence (pogroms) and the relief effort, exploring both the poetry of catastrophe and the documentation of catastrophe and care.Brilliantly weaving together narrative fiction, poetry, memoirs, newspaper articles, and documentary, Harriet Murav argues that poets and pogrom investigators were doing more than recording the facts of violence and expressing emotions in response to it. They were interrogating what was taking place through a central concept familiar from their everyday lifeworld—hefker, or abandonment. Hefker shaped the documentation of catastrophe by Jewish investigators at pogrom sites impossibly tasked with producing comprehensive reports of chaos. Hefker also became a framework for Yiddish writers to think through such incomprehensible violence by creating new forms of poetry. Focusing less on the perpetrators and more on the responses to the pogroms, As the Dust of the Earth offers a fuller understanding of the seismic effects of such organized violence and a moving testimony to the resilience of survivors to process and cope with catastrophe.
