North and South is a social novel published in 1855 by English writer Elizabeth Gaskell. With Wives and Daughters (1865) and Cranford (1853), it is one of her best-known novels and was adapted for television three times (1966, 1975 and 2004).The later version renewed interest in the novel and attracted a wider readership.Gaskells first novel, Mary Barton (1848), focused on relations between employers and workers in Manchester from the perspective of the working poor; North and South uses a protagonist from southern England to present and comment on the perspectives of mill owners and workers in an industrialising city. The novel is set in the fictional industrial town of Milton in the north of England. Forced to leave her home in the tranquil, rural south, Margaret Hale settles with her parents in Milton.She witnesses the brutal world wrought by the Industrial Revolution, seeing employers and workers clashing in the first strikes. Sympathetic to the poor (whose courage and tenacity she admires and among whom she makes friends), she clashes with John Thornton: a nouveau riche cotton-mill owner who is contemptuous of his workers.

This book is a tactical manual for the soul, providing the psychological armor needed to navigate a world of uncertainty with dignity and calm.The Power of Perception: Epictetus famously argues that "men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them." The Enchiridion provides the mental exercises necessary to reframe setbacksfrom a broken cup to the loss of a jobas opportunities to practice virtue and maintain your "ruling faculty."The Disciplines of Desire and Action: The handbook outlines how to align your desires with reality. By training yourself to want only what is within your control, you become immune to disappointment. Epictetus guides the reader toward the role of the "cosmopolitan"a citizen of the world who acts with social duty while remaining internally detached from the outcome.Why It Is a Global Masterpiece: The Enchiridion has been the bedside companion of emperors, generals, and modern-day leaders for two millennia.

Willa Cathers Lucy Gayheart gropes a wistful way back to the time of the horse and buggy, when some men and some women loved deeply and truly and make themselves miserable and hugged their misery.Small towns, no less than Vienna and the Paris Left Bank and a Greenwich Village as dirty and noisy then as it is now, had romances of which they had a right to be proud.So it is with Lucy Gayheart, written in 1935, When she wrote the novel, Cather had just turned 60 and was in tune with the zeitgeist that, shortly, would produce the works of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. In her homey yet subtle way, she tapped into the modern loss of faith. And she created an existential novel.A romance, a feminist storyIt doesnt seem that way at the beginning.Indeed, Lucy Gayheart appears to be nothing more than a confection of a romance.Lucy is the bright, lively, musical girl, a stand-out among her young adult peers in the small Nebraska town of Haverford where Harry Gordon, the bankers son, is the most eligible bachelor. They seem made for each other as they skate together on the Platte River in the novels opening scene. They have always seemed made for each other.

Much Ado About Nothing, comedy in five acts by William Shakespeare, written probably in 159899 and printed in a quarto edition from the authors own manuscript in 1600. The play takes an ancient themethat of a woman falsely accused of unfaithfulnessto brilliant comedic heights. Shakespeare used as his main source for the Claudio-Hero plot a story from Matteo Bandellos Novelle (155473); he also may have consulted Ludovico Ariostos Orlando furioso and Edmund Spensers The Faerie Queene. The Beatrice-Benedick plot is essentially Shakespeares own, though he must have had in mind his own story of wife taming in The Taming of the Shrew.Leonato, a kindly, respectable nobleman, lives in the idyllic Italian town of Messina. Leonato shares his house with his lovely young daughter, Hero, his playful, clever niece, Beatrice, and his elderly brother, Antonio (who is Beatrices father). As the play begins, Leonato prepares to welcome some friends home from a war. The friends include Don Pedro, a prince who is a close friend of Leonato, and two fellow soldiers: Claudio, a well-respected young nobleman, and Benedick, a clever man who constantly makes witty jokes.

Not Under Forty is the last book published in Cathers lifetime (1873-1947). It is a collection of six essays that critique various writers and the craft of writing in general.Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there that, one might say, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the overtone divined by the ear but not heard by it, the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or the thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama, as well as to poetry itself.The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.There is a popular superstition that "realism" asserts itself in the cataloguing of a great number of material objects, in explaining mechanical processes, the methods of operating manufactories and trades, and in minutely and unsparingly describing physical sensations.

Como temos nos relacionado afetivamente com os sistemas de inteligencia artificial gerativos (IAGen)? Quais tem sido os seus efeitos em nossos regimes emocionais e romanticos? Refletir sobre essas questes no ambito dos estudos linguisticos aplicados significa analisar no somente os aspectos sociotecnicos de modelos computacionais de linguagem, mas tambem investigar e problematizar os sentidos, as caracteristicas e os sentimentos que varios de nos temos atribuido aos conteudos gerados algoritmicamente. No se trata de mera utilizaço de tecnologia. Em muitos casos, para o lado humano, trata-se de relaçes amorosas e sexualmente implicadas, que acontecem em/por discursos que materializam padres morais, sexuais, religiosos, de genero e de opresso. O livro de Giselly Tiago Ribeiro Amado nos convida a olhar para essa complexidade. Ao analisar relatos de usuarios sobre seus vinculos romanticos com um sistema de IAGen inicialmente desenvolvido para pessoas com depresso , a autora desvela nuances da logica afetiva humano-maquina no capitalismo contemporaneo. Com analises e composiçes teoricas cuidadosamente costuradas, o texto e um convite para expandirmos nossas compreenses sobre linguagem e afeto e sobre o enredamento corpo-algoritmo na busca de relacionamentos supostamente perfeitos.
