Book Description
Kane:One night, that's all it was supposed to be. Tony--my confidant and the bartender I made friends with when I moved to Emerson Falls, Oregon--pushed me to have some fun, a word I've forgotten the meaning of since I was betrayed three years ago. But that deep red hair and those curves on that woman drew me in. After life-altering sex, I resigned myself to the fact I'd never see her again. But it seems the universe had other plans. Now we work together and I'm feeling things I never thought I could feel again. Before I know it, we're so tangled up in each other, these feelings I've avoided for years come rushing back, and I feel like I'm on top of the world...That is until a ghost from my past threatens to tear my happiness apart once more.Olivia: I'm thirty-one and single, again. After catching my boyfriend with his dick in his secretary, I take off and head back home to Emerson Falls, reuniting with my family and my three best friends after years away. An out of character decision of mine to have a one-night-stand leads to the best sex I've ever had in my life with a man that makes me want more than just orgasms from him.Lucky for me, we cross paths again when I realize he's actually one of my new co-workers. After a push and pull of emotions, he finally admits he wants more with me, and I fall--hard. Just when all the pieces of my life feel like they're finally falling into place, fate stirs the pot and threatens to shatter our romance. The threads of our lives were woven so tight, neither one of us thought that the edges could fray. Now the question is, can we untangle the mess and find our happily ever after?

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was the most influential American writer of the nineteenth century. Poets such as Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, and Wallace Stevens descend from Emerson, as do thinkers such as John Dewey and William James.

Mr. Emerson's Revolution
Author: Jean McClure Mudge
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1783740973
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
This volume traces the life, thought and work of Ralph Waldo Emerson, a giant of American intellectual history, whose transforming ideas greatly strengthened the two leading reform issues of his day: abolition and women’s rights. A broad and deep, yet cautious revolutionary, he spoke about a spectrum of inner and outer realities—personal, philosophical, theological and cultural—all of which gave his mid-career turn to political and social issues their immediate and lasting power. This multi-authored study frankly explores Emerson's private prejudices against blacks and women while he also publicly championed their causes. Such a juxtaposition freshly charts the evolution of Emerson's slow but steady application of his early neo-idealism to emancipating blacks and freeing women from social bondage. His shift from philosopher to active reformer had lasting effects not only in America but also abroad. In the U.S. Emerson influenced such diverse figures as Thoreau, Whitman, Dickinson and William James, and in Europe Mickiewicz, Wilde, Kipling, Nietzsche, and Camus, as well as many leading followers in India and Japan. The book includes over 170 illustrations, among them eight custom-made maps of Emerson's haunts and wide-ranging lecture itineraries as well as a new four-part chronology of his life placed alongside both national and international events as well as major inventions. Mr. Emerson's Revolution provides essential reading for students and teachers of American intellectual history, the abolitionist and women’s rights movement―and for anyone interested in the nineteenth-century roots of these seismic social changes.

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Emerson's Sublime Science explores relationships among Emerson's poetics, theory of the sublime, and engagement with electromagnetism. The book illustrates how Davy's chemistry and Faraday's physics revealed to Emerson a sublime universe in which matter is boundless electrical force. It argues that Emerson translated this discovery into a sublime writing style crafted to galvanize readers with the insight that matter is energy. In illuminating Emerson's project, this study also uncovers connections among British Romanticism, American Romanticism, and nineteenth-century science.
