The Illustrated William Shakespeare: 25 Essential Poems
One of history''s most prolific playwrights and poets, William Shakespeare is known throughout the globe for such masterpieces as ''Shall I compare thee to a summer''s day'' ''All the world''s a stage'' and many other famous poems that are included in this collection. Though his works are often intimidating to analyse and understand, this particular volume helps young readers, with brief commentary and helpful definitions, gain better insights with each poem. The Illustrated William Shakespeare is among the most accessible - and beautiful - introductions to William Shakespeare available. Excerpt from the Introduction: 1: Enjoy the poems. This seems far more important than trying to puzzle out what the author meant (or what other people believe the author meant). 2: Engage with the poems by asking questions.... 3: Be your own boss. Read the poems in order or jump around as you see fit. Share them or savor them all by yourself. Say them aloud or whisper their words in your heart. Poetry makes life better. There is NO wrong way to experience a poem. So, read on, dear friend. And thank you for choosing poetry.

Hiding within the peaks, we find the mountain moon tribe and our main girl, Mia, the child elder and first of her generation. Born thirteen years ahead of her peers, she bears the huge responsibility of guiding them through life. But Mia is troubled by an unrelenting itch for adventure, and when she makes a wish upon a falling star, her wish is granted but ultimately threatens the destruction of her village. Mia is flung into a race to prevent the extinction of her people, chosen to go beyond the forbidden lands and seek the help of an ancient spirit dwelling many miles away, in the heart of the mountain itself. Along her journey, she will meet the monstrous creatures that plagued her bedtime stories, and upon the journe? end, she will discover a terrible truth that will change the future of the mountain forever?

Edmonia
For readers of Vanessa Miller, Sheila Williams, Victoria Christopher Murray and Tracy Chevalier, the story of an unconventional woman who overcame adversity to create enduring tributes in stone to her race and times. The life of pioneering Black Neoclassical sculptor Edmonia Lewis ? from the Civil War-era Midwest to Boston?s abolitionist circles, to Rome?s expatriate community ? is resurrected in this stunning debut biographical novel.?I plan to be a sculptor, to memorialize forever the great men and women of my race, and those who have fought for our cause.? At the age of 8, orphaned, precocious Wildfire seems fated to a life of toil selling her handmade crafts to Niagara Falls tourists alongside her Ojibwe aunts. But Wildfire?s older half-brother, Samuel, has been making other plans for his gifted sibling. Soon, she is set on a new trajectory?and with it comes her birth name, Edmonia, and a revelation about her true origins.Ensconced at the home of a trusted benefactor while Samuel makes his fortune in California, Edmonia flourishes?despite her abhorrence for etiquette lessons. Privately nurturing artistic ambitions, she advances through the abolitionist?s prep school and lands at Oberlin College. But at Oberlin lies a devastating trap: Edmonia is accused of poisoning, nearly fatally, two friends, with tainted wine.What ensues is a headline-making trial, a vicious attack by a white mob?and a bold journey that will lead Edmonia from a crucial introduction in Boston to a vibrant community of celebrated expatriate women artists in Rome, and encounters with such distinguished figures as President Ulysses S. Grant, Pope Pius IX, and Frederick Douglass.Still, Edmonia?s success is plagued by stinging critiques, potent racism, and haunting self-doubt. She must decide, too, whether to abandon her romantic entanglements, or devote herself to bringing to life her visions of beauty and justice?and hopefully, forge her place in a rapidly changing world.
Political Philosophy
How to understand a long-standing puzzle in political philosophy: the relationship between justice and legitimacyCan laws be unjust and yet remain, in some sense, morally legitimate? In this book, Jonathan Quong considers central issues in political philosophy through the lens of this single question. He explores and evaluates recent influential work on this topic and then proposes a novel approach of his own. The puzzle at the heart of his account is the phenomenon of legitimate injustice—laws and policies that are substantively unjust yet may be legitimately imposed by government officials. How can such laws be legitimate if, as some have argued, justice is the first virtue of social institution? uong analyzes the work of those who deny that injustice committed by states can be legitimate simply by virtue of its democratic or procedural pedigree; the Kantian account of legitimate institutions and justice; instrumental approaches to political legitimacy; and the recent wave of work in democratic theory focused on its egalitarian character. Arguing that these analyses do not offer an adequate solution to the puzzle and that there are compelling reasons to revise or reject them, Quong lays out his view and explains the implications for more general theories of political morality. He argues that we can explain legitimate injustice by appeal to distributive justice. If political disagreement is inevitable, then unjust legislation is largely unavoidable; it constitutes a burden that must be distributed according to just principles. Quong’s novel and illuminating framework offers a unique introduction to crucial questions in political philosophy.

A fogoly
Brooke Sullivannek három nagyon fontos szabályt kell betartania, mint új ápolónőnek, egy férfiak számára fenntartott büntetés-végrehajtási intézetben:
1. Minden fogvatartottal tisztelettel kell bánnia.
2. Soha nem adhat ki személyes információkat magáról.
3. Soha, de soha nem barátkozhat a rabokkal.
De a személyzet közül senki sem tudja, hogy Brooke már megszegte a szabályokat. Senki nem tud a Shane Nelsonhoz fűződő szoros kapcsolatáról, aki a fegyház egyik leghírhedtebb és legveszélyesebb foglya. És természetesen azt sem tudják, hogy Shane a nő középiskolai szerelme volt – aki most egy sor borzalmas gyilkosság miatt életének hátralévő részét rács mögött tölti. Vagy hogy Brooke tanúvallomása juttatta őt oda. De a férfi tudja. És soha nem fogja elfelejteni…

Amikor viszont felbukkan a férfi, akiről azt gondolta, hogy soha többé nem látja újra, és közli vele, hogy híres nyomozó vált belőle, aminek köszönhetően képes elsimítani az életét, a nőnek mérlegelnie kell: tegye ki egy olyan jövőnek a kisfiát, amiben örökre bujkálnia kell, vagy ismét szavazzon bizalmat az embernek, aki tönkretette az életét?
