Book Description
Al is a young man who, despite his spiritually structured upbringing and his written examples of the perfect existence, experienced an unorthodox and provisional life before settling into unwavering permanence. In a true chronicling of Al’s experiences, L. W. Antoine shines a light on Al’s journey through a twisted pattern of unstable relationships to a place of steadfastness. In his younger years, Al’s mission was to spread love. Yet the way he mismanaged his understanding of love contradicted the purpose of his mission, causing him to digress irresponsibly before deciding to return home like the prodigal son. But it was not until he came to terms with reality and became determined not to repeat history that Al was finally able to rekindle a relationship with his first love, solidifying his stance on what he always believed love should be. Through the candid retelling of Al’s story and his pursuit of happiness, others will gain a better understanding of love while avoiding the valley of misconceptions. The Misconceptions of Love is a powerful memoir that tells the story of a man determined to invalidate fallacies, live a fulfilling life, and find true love

Book Description
The Liberal Imagination is one of the most admired and influential works of criticism of the last century, a work that is not only a masterpiece of literary criticism but an important statement about politics and society. Published in 1950, one of the chillier moments of the Cold War, Trilling’s essays examine the promise —and limits—of liberalism, challenging the complacency of a naïve liberal belief in rationality, progress, and the panaceas of economics and other social sciences, and asserting in their stead the irreducible complexity of human motivation and the tragic inevitability of tragedy. Only the imagination, Trilling argues, can give us access and insight into these realms and only the imagination can ground a reflective and considered, rather than programmatic and dogmatic, liberalism. Writing with acute intelligence about classics like Huckleberry Finn and the novels of Henry James and F. Scott Fitzgerald, but also on such varied matters as the Kinsey Report and money in the American imagination, Trilling presents a model of the critic as both part of and apart from his society, a defender of the reflective life that, in our ever more rationalized world, seems ever more necessary—and ever more remote.

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" html meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type" body An interdisciplinary collection for scholars and students interested in the connections between myth and scripture In this collection scholars suggest that using “myth” creates a framework within which to set biblical writings in both cultural and literary comparative contexts. Reading biblical accounts alongside the religious narratives of other ancient civilizations reveals what is commonplace and shared among them. The fruit of such work widens and enriches our understanding of the nature and character of biblical texts, and the results provide fresh evidence for how biblical writings became “scripture.” Features: Essays that explore how myth sheds light on the emergence of scripture Examples drawn from the Ancient Near East, Hebrew Bible, New Testament, and Greco-Roman world Articles by experts from a range of disciplines

Book Description
Colin Falck's book has had a widespread influence since it first appeared in 1989. Hailed as a work that alters the way we think about literary theory and its institutionalisation in America and Britain, it is a philosophically informed account of the 'paradigm-shift' required to replaced structuralism and post-structuralism as modes of perceiving literature and related culture. Falck now supplements this second paperback edition with an appendix and other new material.
