Tolstoy Together: 85 Days of War and Peace with Yiyun Li
Author: Yiyun Li
Publisher: Public Space Books
ISBN: 9781734590760
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
A reader's companion for Tolstoy's epic novel, War and Peace, inspired by the online book club led by Yiyun Li. For the writer Yiyun Li, whenever life has felt uncertain, War and Peace has been the novel she turns to. In March 2020, as the pandemic tightened its grip, Li and A Public Space launched #TolstoyTogether, a War and Peace book club, on Twitter and Instagram, gathering a community (that came to include writers such as Joyce Carol Oates, Garth Greenwell, and Carl Phillips) for 85 days of prompts, conversation, succor, and pleasure. It was an experience shaped not only by the time in which they read but also the slow, consistent rhythm of the reading. And the extraordinary community that gathered for a moment each day to discuss Tolstoy, history, and the role of art in a time like this. Tolstoy Together captures that moment, and offers a guided, communal experience for past and new readers, lovers of Russian literature, and all those looking for what Li identifies as "his level-headedness and clear-sightedness offer[ing] a solidity during a time of duress.

The classical just war criteria were helpful in a world of soldiers in uniforms with negotiated holidays. But just war no longer proves helpful in a world where small bands of terrorists with modest bundles of cash can do unspeakable terror to unarmed civilians. In this new world, war itself has become dysfunctional. What are the theological, political, and programmatic bases needed to become a peacemaking church?

Peace at Any Price

Category : Assertiveness (Psychology)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Peace-at-any-price people are polite, generous, passive beings who: --Value peace above all else. --Try to avoid arguments, disagreements and fights. --Fear anger. --Have a history of childhood abuse, abandonment or neglect. --Put other people's wants and needs ahead of their own. --Silently dislike aggressive people. --Do not like to ask for what they want. --Attract aggressive partners. --Stuff their feelings. --Avoid making decisions that affect others (i.e., choose movies, restaurants, etc.) But walking on eggshells, giving in and swallowing feelings do not give them the peace they so desperately crave. Instead, they lead chaotic, hectic, hellish lives. Their eager-to-please personalities are the underlying cause of their need to under or over eat, to abuse alcohol and drugs, and to find other ways to run from life. Poor reveals her own experiences and acquired strengths, as well as those of others who have successfully overcome the ?please disease.'
