How Rabbi Stephen S. Wise changed the trajectory of American Reform Judaism over the course of the twentieth century and well into the twenty-first\n\n In 1922, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, a leader of the Zionist movement, established the Jewish Institute of Religion (JIR), a nondenominational rabbinical seminary in New York City. Having already founded the thriving Free Synagogue movement and the American Jewish Congress, he intended to revolutionize American liberal Judaism. Wise believed mainstream American Jewish institutions had become outdated, and he championed a progressive Jewish nationalism that would fight alongside America's leading proponents of social and economic justice.\n\nWe Shall Build Anew tells the little-known story of how Wise changed the trajectory of American Judaism for the next century. Through JIR, he trained a new cadre of young rabbis who shared his outlook, charged them with invigorating and reshaping Jewish life, and launched them into positions of leadership across the country. While Wise earned the ire of many mainstream Jewish leaders through his disregard for denominational distinctions, JIR became home to faculty and students of widely divergent religious and political viewpoints.\n\nWe Shall Build Anew is the first book dedicated exclusively to the history of the Jewish Institute of Religion. The story of Wise's vision for American liberal Judaism is now more important than ever. As American Jewry becomes increasingly polarized around debates concerning religious doctrine as well as Zionism and Israel, the JIR model offers hope that progressives and conservatives, Zionists and non-Zionists, and Jews representing the full spectrum of religious life cannot only coexist but also work together in the name of a vibrant Judaism and a just and peaceful world.

Collected Stories includes both volumes of National Book Award-winning author Shirley Hazzard's short story collections - Cliffs of Fall and People in Glass Houses - alongside uncollected works and two previously unpublished stories.\n\n Twenty-eight works of short fiction in all, Shirley Hazzard's Collected Stories is a work of staggering breadth and talent. Taken together, Hazzard's short stories are masterworks in telescoping focus, 'at once surgical and symphonic' (New Yorker), ranging from quotidian struggles between beauty and pragmatism to satirical sendups of international bureaucracy, from the Italian countryside to suburban Connecticut. \n\n In an interview, Hazzard once said, 'The idea that somebody has expressed something, in a supreme way, that it can be expressed; this is, I think, an enormous feature of literature'. Her stories themselves are a supreme evocation of writing at its very best: probing, uncompromising and deeply felt.

Reminiscent of her classic story 'The Lottery', Jackson's disturbing and darkly funny first novel exposes the underside of American suburban life.\n\n'Her books penetrate keenly to the terrible truths which sometimes hide behind comfortable fictions, to the treachery beneath cheery neighborhood faces and the plain manners of country folk; to the threat that sparkles at the rainbow's edge of the sprinkler spray on even the greenest lawns, on the sunniest of midsummer mornings' Donna Tartt\n\nIn Pepper Street, an attractive suburban neighbourhood filled with bullies and egotistical bigots, the feelings of the inhabitants are shallow and selfish: what can a neighbour gain from another neighbour, what may be won from a friend? One child stands alone in her goodness: little Caroline Desmond, kind, sweet and gentle, and the pride of her family. But the malice and self-absorption of the people of Pepper Street lead to a terrible event that will destroy the community of which they are so proud. Exposing the murderous cruelty of children, and the blindness and selfishness of adults, Shirley Jackson reveals the ugly truth behind a 'perfect' world.\n\nShirley Jackson's chilling tales have the power to unsettle and terrify unlike any other. She was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lottery was first published in The New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the greatest American stories of all time. Her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more: Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, The Sundial, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48.\n\n'An amazing writer' Neil Gaiman\n\n'Shirley Jackson is one of those highly idiosyncratic, inimitable writers ... whose work exerts an enduring spell' Joyce Carol Oates\n\n'An unburnished exercise in the sinister' The New York Times

Il racconto da cui è nata la leggenda di Shirley Jackson è stato molte cose. Il testo più letto nella lunga e gloriosa storia del «New Yorker», ad esempio, e la storia che ha inaugurato una stagione nuova del gotico americano. Ora, grazie alla matita di Miles Hyman, La lotteria si trasforma in qualcosa di ancora diverso: una straordinaria partitura visiva, dove il disegno e la precisione rivelano un volto inedito del terrore.\r\nIl racconto di Shirley Jackson intitolato \"La lotteria\" ricorda da vicino, per la fama che lo circonda, la famigerata lettura radiofonica della Guerra dei Mondi di Orson Welles. Fama non immeritata, giacché la pubblicazione sul \"New Yorker\" nel 1949, scatenò un pandemonio. Molti lo presero alla lettera, reagendo all'istante e poi per lungo tempo con missive indignate o atterrite alla redazione. Certe cose non potevano, non dovevano succedere. Eppure la storia si presenta in tutta innocenza quale pura e semplice descrizione della lotteria che si svolge nell'atmosfera pastorale, quasi idilliaca, di un villaggio del New England in un luminoso mattino di giugno, come ogni anno da tempo immemore. Ma giunto al termine di questo racconto, come degli altri che compongono l'intensa silloge qui proposta, il lettore scoprirà da sé, in un crescendo di \"brividi sommessi e progressivi\" - come diceva Dorothy Parker che cosa li rende dei classici del terrore. Secondo un altro illustre ammiratore della Jackson, oltre che maestro del genere, Stephen King, lo sono perché \"finiscono con una svolta che porta dritto in un vicolo buio\".

Inquietanti, sconcertanti, soavemente terrifici: i racconti di Shirley Jackson\r\n\r\n«Ritrovati postumi con modalità \"manzoniane\", i testi narrativi di Shirley Jackson sono un mix tra scenari casalinghi, massicce dosi di perfidia e atmosfere eccentriche. Leggere queste 54 short stories per credere» - Robinson«Casa nostra spesso era piena di letterati e artisti eminenti» raccontano i figli di Shirley Jackson. «Si tenevano feste leggendarie e partite a poker con pittori, scultori, musicisti, compositori, poeti, insegnanti e scrittori di ogni genere. Ma il suono della sua macchina da scrivere non mancava mai, la sentivamo battere sui tasti fino a notte fonda». E da quell'ostinato ticchettio della Royal di mamma Shirley usciva a getto continuo una produzione che ha pochi paragoni: celebri romanzi dell'orrore come \"L'incubo di Hill House\" e clamorose perle nere come \"La lotteria\", certo, ma anche una mole imponente di racconti destinati a rimanere a lungo sconosciuti - e che solo trent'anni dopo la morte della Jackson verranno alla luce, con un coup de théâtre degno di una delle sue storie: alcuni estratti da uno scatolone ritrovato in un fienile del Vermont e spedito senza preavviso alla famiglia, e altri, moltissimi altri, scoperti alla Library of Congress di Washington e alla San Francisco Public Library. Racconti di cui questo libro offre una ricca scelta, dove il lettore troverà non solo il thriller nero e la fiaba gotica di cui la Jackson è riconosciuta maestra, ma anche commedie surreali, sketch stranianti, comici quadri familiari, esplorazioni della psiche, con fulminanti incursioni nei territori di confine tra normalità e follia. E sempre sarà felice, il lettore, di lasciarsi inghiottire dagli ingranaggi di una macchina narrativa di diabolica perfezione.

\"A timely, detailed, and inspiring book that helps maintain the intellectual legacy of Shirley Chisholm. The book reveals new dimensions of the congresswoman's politics, activism, and spirit.\"—Regina King, Academy Award–winning actor and star of Shirley\n\nLooking beyond her political symbolism to celebrate not only who Shirley Chisholm was but who she is—a revolutionary thinker with much to teach us today.\n  \n In the midst of her groundbreaking twenty-year career in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm once declared, \"Everyone—with the exception of the black woman herself—has been interpreting the black woman.\" Edited by Zinga A. Fraser, the leading scholar dedicated to the study of Chisholm's legacy, Shirley Chisholm in Her Own Words gives readers a rare opportunity to engage with the congresswoman's powerful ideas in her own voice.\n  \n Many Americans are familiar with Chisholm's importance as the first Black woman in Congress and the first woman and African American to run for president with either major party. This long-overdue treatment of her work establishes Chisholm as an unparalleled public intellectual and Black feminist both in her time and now. The book not only contextualizes the Civil Rights and Black Power era; it also provides timeless insights on issues that are exceedingly relevant in our current moment. Featuring a captivating introduction by Fraser, Shirley Chisholm in Her Own Words introduces a new generation to one of the most impactful proponents of democracy in America.

Gli insegnamenti di Confucio. La quantità e la varietà di consigli che riceviamo come genitori può essere soffocante. Di conseguenza spesso trascuriamo l'unico principio che ispira tutto ciò che attiene all'educazione dei nostri figli: loro imparano dal nostro esempio. In questa semplice guida Shirley Yuen illustra la Benevolenza, la Saggezza e il Coraggio, le tre virtù essenziali per creare un legame profondo e duraturo con i nostri figli. Queste tre virtù sono la chiave per diventare genitori migliori e più efficaci, oltre che persone migliori: La Benevolenza ci insegna ad amare veramente i figli, a guidarli con la disciplina e il rispetto, e a essere generosi in fatto di tempo e attenzioni. La Saggezza ci mostra il modo per fare l'azione giusta per il giusto risultato, per comprendere i problemi dei figli e riconoscere i nostri errori imparando la lezione. Il Coraggio ci aiuta a resistere quando le cose vanno male, a lasciar stare i figli quando è necessario e a osare cambiamenti positivi, anche quando sarebbe più semplice fare altrimenti. Ispirate dalla dottrina del saggio cinese Confucio (VI sec. a.C.), le lezioni di Shirley Yuen danno dei consigli educativi efficaci, ma contengono anche un messaggio molto importante: se agiamo con virtù, possiamo influire sulla vita di chi ci circonda, compresi i nostri figli.

'Intoxicating' Jeff VanderMeer, author of Annihilation\n\n'Barrett's brilliant second novel plummets headlong into a darkly funny tale' Mail on Sunday\n\nBridget Jones meets Twin Peaks in this black comedy about a woman's retreat to a remote Australian town and the horrors awaiting her.\n\nIt wasn't just the bad breakup that turned Eleanor Mellett's life upside down. It was the cancer. And all the demons that came with it.\n\nOne day she felt a bit of a bump when she was scratching her armpit at work. The next thing she knew, her breast was being removed by an inappropriately attractive doctor, and she was subsequently inundated with cupcakes, besieged by judgy support groups, and the ungrateful recipient of hand-knitted sweaters from her mum.\n\nLuckily, Eleanor finds that Talbingo, a remote little town, needs a primary-school teacher. Their Miss Barker upped and vanished in the night, despite being the most caring teacher ever, according to everyone. Unfortunately, Talbingo is a bit creepy. It's not only the communion-wine-swigging priest prone to rants about how cancer is caused by demons. Or the unstable, overly sensitive kids, always going on about Miss Barker and her amazing sticker system. It's living alone in a remote cabin, with no phone service or wifi, wondering why there are so many locks on the front door, and who is knocking on it late at night.\n\nRiotously funny, deeply unsettling, and surprisingly poignant, Shirley Barrett's The Bus on Thursday is a wicked, weird, wild ride for fans of Maria Semple, Stephen King and Henry James's The Turn of the Screw. And when have those three writers ever appeared in the same sentence?

Quando Shirley Jackson arrivò in ospedale per la nascita del terzo figlio, l'impiegata all'accettazione le chiese quale professione svolgesse. E alla risposta «Scrittrice», replicò imperturbabile: «Io metterei casalinga». Senza volerlo, quell'impiegata aveva toccato un nervo scoperto - e colto nel segno. L'autrice di uno dei più celebri e disturbanti racconti della letteratura americana moderna era anche, come emerge dagli irriverenti aneddoti familiari, un'eccentrica donna di casa e una madre spassosa e piena d'inventiva. Ed è impossibile non riconoscere qualcosa di lei nelle stravaganti Mary Poppins che popolano questa raccolta, accompagnate da gatti parlanti e in grado di confezionare abiti con le coccinelle e i denti di leone del giardino. Quanto al lato più macabro - quello che la spinge ad affrontare tormenti, aberrazioni, crudeltà, a sondare normalità, follia, soprannaturale e sordido, o ancora a rendere sottilmente inquietante la banalità di «un giorno come un altro», appunto -, il lettore non avrà che l'imbarazzo della scelta. Nessuno meglio di Shirley Jackson conosce «il male incontrollato» che si cela sotto la più linda e ordinata delle superfici. E solo lei sa mescolare assurdo, comico e spaventevole - avvelenata mistura -, portandoli alle estreme conseguenze con un'economia del dettato e un'acutezza del dettaglio del tutto inconfondibili.
