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.

Dcera
Toxické dětství ji naučilo pochybovat o vlastním úsudku – a on toho dokonale využil. Láska se změnila v kontrolu, jistota ve strach a realita v jeho verzi pravdy. Když se pak kruh násilí uzavírá, Klára zjistí, že jediná cesta ven vede skrz temnotu.

Dostává se do kolotoče domácího násilí, které začíná velmi nenápadně, ale o to drtivější má dopady. Klára neví, jak z toho ven – nemá prostředky, zázemí ani přátele, o které by se mohla opřít. Jejím jediným blízkým člověkem je narcistický manipulátor Štěpán. Když ovšem za dramatických okolností přichází o nenarozené miminko, celý její život nabere nové obrátky. Mladá žena se rozhodne pomstít nejen smrt očekávané dcerušky, ale vyřídit si účty se všemi, kdo jí v minulých letech ublížili - včetně své matky.

Az összes nyarunk
Egy nyomozó, és egy hírhedt bűnöző felesége, akik egykor a mindenséget jelentették egymásnak...
Egy felkavaró nyári utazás
Szalai Emma fiatalkora összes nyarát a Holt-Tisza mentén töltötte, legjobb barátnőjénél.
Az utolsó látogatása óta azonban eltelt tíz fájdalmas év, most mégis kénytelen visszatérni – egyetlen éjszakát szándékozik a faluban tölteni, hogy másnap kimenekíthesse kisfiát az országból.
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?
Emma a gyermeke jövőjét tartja szem előtt, ezért úgy dönt, hogy maradnak – arra azonban nem számít, hogy Kende visszaadja neki a leveleket, amiket korábban ő írt és küldött el a férfinak.
Emma olvasni kezdi az összes nyaruk történetét, miközben a múlt és a jelen összemosódik, és újra kell gondolnia mindent, amit egészen addig igaznak hitt...
