Orlando R: Karl Marx: The Divine Tragedy

Karl Marx: The Divine Tragedy

Critical Lives

Jean Baudrillard, once hailed as a ?historian of the future', remains a vital figure for understanding modern life. Famous for ideas like ?simulation' and the ?hyperreal', linked to postmodernism and The Matrix, Baudrillard was both celebrated and controversial, known for bold pronouncements about events like the Gulf War and 9/11. Yet the man himself was enigmatic, leading a public life while remaining personally elusive. This first biography in English explores Baudrillard's life and work, tracing his journey from the early years and French intellectual prominence to his global influence as a thinker, photographer and public intellectual. Using newly uncovered material, it provides fresh insights into his major works and ideas, offering readers a clear guide to his singular, uncompromising philosophy.

Jean Baudrillard

Every object has a story to tell...Fine art. Priceless jewels. Museum-worthy masterpieces. In 1970s New York, the auction world was a velvet-rope affair--until Arlan Ettinger crashed the party.With his wife, Barbara, Arlan launched Guernsey's, a scrappy, anything-goes auction house that turned the industry on its head. Forget Old Masters--Guernsey's sold the unexpected, the irresistible, the downright bizarre. Doors from the legendary Chelsea Hotel. The entire contents of the SS United States. Personal treasures from JFK. If it had a story, Guernsey's could sell it--and suddenly, everyone wanted in.Part business adventure, part cultural time capsule, this is the story of the auction house that proved you don't need millions to own a piece of history--you just need curiosity, a sense of humor, and a willingness to see value where others don't. Because the real magic isn't just in what things are worth--it's in what they mean. A door, a suitcase, a scrap of paper: objects carry the lives, legends, and moments that shaped us. This book is a celebration of that invisible thread between people and things--and the surprising, often joyful ways our stories live on through what we leave behind.

With a new afterword by the author and an interview with Chanel Miller. An Instant New York Times Bestseller and a New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice. Natalie Portman's Book Club Pick for March. "Amanda's story-innovatively told by versions of herself at different ages-underscores the lasting power of speaking your truth, building a movement, and never losing sight of your dreams." -Melinda French Gates "In Saving Five, Amanda Nguyen shows us how to reclaim the full spectrum of our lives, replete with pain, fury, creativity, and recovered dreams." -Chanel Miller, author of Know My Name In 2013, the trajectory of Amanda Nguyen's life was changed forever when she was raped at Harvard University. Determined not to let her assault derail her goal of joining NASA after graduation, Nguyen opted for her rape kit to be filed under "Jane Doe." But she was shocked to learn her choice to stay anonymous gave her only six months to press charges before the state destroyed her kit, rendering any future legal action impossible. Nguyen knew then that she had two options: surrender to a law that effectively denied her justice, or fight for a change-not only for herself but for survivors everywhere. A heart-wrenching memoir of survival and hope, Saving Five boldly braids the story of Nguyen's activism-which resulted in Congress's unanimous passage of the Survivors' Bill of Rights Act in 2016-with a second, beautifully imagined adventure, of Nguyen's younger selves as they, at the ages of five, fifteen, twenty-two, and thirty, navigate the emotional stages of her path toward healing, not only from her rape but from the violent turmoil of her childhood. The result is a groundbreaking work that seamlessly blends memoir with a moving recounting of her journey toward acceptance and hope, forging a path ahead that is as inspiring as it is instructive. From one of the most influential activists (and now astronauts) of our time, Saving Five is at once a tribute to resilience, a celebration of healing through action, and a resounding cry to change the world.

New Directions in Critical Theory

Jürgen Habermas is Germany's most important postwar philosopher, the leading figure of the Frankfurt School in this period. He is best known for the concept of the public sphere, which forms the basis of his communicative understanding of democratic politics. Habermas has not only theorized the public sphere--he has also taken part in it through frequent commentary on current social, political, and cultural issues. Yet since Habermas's extensive public-facing writings have been overlooked, his philosophy has often been criticized as apolitical. This book transforms our understanding of Habermas by focusing on his work as a public intellectual, showing how he has shaped debates far beyond the ivory tower. Peter J. Verovsek argues that while Habermas maintains a strict separation between his academic and his public-facing writings, he has also ensured that these two aspects of his work are part of a consistent whole. The book highlights the development of Habermas's views over time and the changing nature of his public interventions. His early political writings focused on questions tied to the particular situation of postwar West Germany, but since 1989 he has increasingly turned his attention to the future of Europe and global politics more broadly. Verovsek sheds light on the interrelationship between Habermas's participation in the public sphere and his theoretical work, demonstrating that his political engagement is crucial to understanding his philosophy. In a moment when public debate is under threat, this book offers timely new insight into Habermas's lifelong project of defending the public sphere--both in theory and in practice.

Forget Not is a fascinating memoir of three Peters who share not only a name but a legacy. The youngest of the three, Peter Alfred Wolvin Thomson, it reflects on his grandfather, Peter Alfred Thomson, and, more centrally, the life and business career of his father, Peter Nesbitt Thomson. Set against the changing landscape of Montreal, Quebec, and Canada from the late nineteenth century to the 1970s, this book is a history of enterprise and family and a vision of energy and power that helped shape a nation. The story begins with Peter Alfred Thomson, a Heinz salesman from Hamilton, Ontario, who co-founded the stock brokerage firm Nesbitt Thomson in 1912 and Power Corporation of Canada in 1925. His son, Peter Nesbitt Thomson, inherited a substantial fortune in hydroelectric and petroleum concerns, which he took into bold, creative directions across Canada and into the Caribbean throughout the turbulent 1960s. Rising nationalism in Quebec and resource nationalization would result in the sale of Thomson holdings to BC Hydro and the Quebec government under Jean Lesage during the Quiet Revolution. By the end of the 1960s, Peter Nesbitt had sold Power Corporation of Canada to Paul Desmarais. Betrayed by a provincial Liberal Party that he had long supported, Peter Nesbitt would leave Montreal for good after the Parti Québécois was elected in 1976. Peter Alfred Wolvin Thomson recounts his own path in investment banking and real estate development, culminating in the Cayman Islands and controlling interests in WestIndies PowerCorporation /CaribbeanUtilities Company, the first company based in the Cayman Islands to be traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Both a personal reckoning with a family’s past and a chronicle of social, political, and business history, Forget Not examines the forces that drove business enterprises and families from Quebec during a turbulent era that transformed Canadian history.

A Thomson Family Memoir

Forget Not

In these pages, journalist and writer Pablo-Ignacio de Dalmases offers a courageous investigation that redefines the traditional, even iconic, image we have of Lorca today. This essay, which focuses on his gay identity, breaks new ground in biographical literature, offering us an intimate and daring portrait that takes us by the hand through the most significant--and unknown--aspect of the poet's intense life and emphasizes an aspect that no author had detected until now: the subsequent ideological evolution of his lovers, all of whom--except one, who remained faithful to his socialist and republican identity--ended up, in contrast to the poet's sad fate, firmly identified with Francoism. With its eloquent, entertaining, and well-documented prose, Federico's Fiancés promises to be essential reading not only for the LGBT community, Hispanists, and lovers of literature, but also for those interested in the cultural genealogy of our time. Every page of this work is imbued with respect and admiration for Lorca, delving into the struggles, loves, and passions of a man who lived with a complex and affirming nature, not without contradictions. This book not only celebrates his literary genius, but also humanizes the poet, showing us the many facets of his psychology and opening up lines of reflection on the construction of gay identity in postmodernity.

This is the first English biography of Gaston Bachelard, a philosopher who bridged the worlds of science and imagination. Raised in rural France, Bachelard served in the First World War, worked for the post office and pursued degrees in science and philosophy while teaching in his local school. His journey led to a professorship at the Sorbonne, where he influenced many prominent postwar French thinkers. Known as both a philosopher of science and author of works on the imagination inspired by the elements - earth, air, fire and water - Bachelard needed to negotiate a constant tension between science and poetry, calculation and dream. This biography provides a complete portrait of Bachelard, illuminating his struggles with the nature of knowledge itself.

An accessible, practical, and timeless guide to entrepreneurship from the founder/developer of some of Canada's most successful businesses, including Premiere Van Lines and Moore Executive Suites. Tim Moore understands success. As a serial entrepreneur who started with nothing--he failed several grades, he had no formal business education, and he was on his way to becoming a priest--he has gone on to found numerous flourishing enterprises. "I'm an eternal optimist. I always think there's a way forward," Moore writes in TITLE. At the age of twenty-one, he transformed a one-man, one-truck moving outfit into the biggest moving company in Canada, AMJ Campbell Van Lines, which twenty years later had a thousand trucks on the road and boasted $125 million in annual revenue; later, he founded Premiere Suites, which became the largest extended-stay provider in Canada. Moore believes his model of success can work for other entrepreneurs. Among the most important tools for success are work ethic, strong interpersonal skills, and integrity. His management style is about attracting talented individuals with great attitudes, strong values, and a great capacity to laugh and have fun. When change is afoot, opportunities arise. With XX b/w images and an eight-page colour insert, TITLE, Moore's third book, sets out to make Moore's own path to success clear--and to provide his life lessons as a guide and an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Argues Shakespeare was a dark-skinned Jewish woman, Emilia Bassano, challenging the traditional authorship and gender perceptions. Was Shakespeare a white man from Stratford? Debate still rages over the identity of the most beloved poet of all time and 'father' of the English-speaking world. Generations of researchers have tried to dismantle the myth of the Stratford man. Now, in this intriguing and well-documented book, Irene Coslet conclusively demonstrates that Shakespeare was a not a man, but a woman: a dark-skinned lady, of Jewish origin, born into a family of Court musicians from Venice, and the mother of the English-speaking world. Her name was Emilia Bassano. Based on a re-examination of often-overlooked historical documents, shrewd, chilling, and profound, this volume offers extensive evidence that Emilia was the author of the canon. This is not just a book about the authorship debate: it is about the condition of women at the time Shakespeare was writing. It explains that feminism already existed in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. It reveals not only that Shakespeare was a woman, but also that she defended women. It reintegrates Emilia in the context of the time, for example, by exploring the relationship between Emilia and Queen Elizabeth I. The reader will leave this book with a sense of wonder, transformation, and will experience a paradigm shift. Be prepared to meet the next feminist icon.
