Leo Tolstoi

And Other Stories

This edition brings together Tolstoy’s 1886 masterpiece and several shorter works that connect with it in thought-provoking ways. The stories are accompanied by a fascinating selection of contextual materials, including nineteenth-century reviews, excerpts from Tolstoy’s letters concerning death, excerpts from a pamphlet he wrote after witnessing the slaughtering of livestock, and a portfolio of relevant photographs. As well as crafting fresh translations both of the stories themselves and of the background materials, Kirsten Lodge has provided an illuminating introduction and helpful annotations.

In this classic text, Aristotle extols a variety of virtues valued by the ancient Greeks and their world. Within, Aristotle gives the reader a schema for understanding both ancient and trans-historical ideas on virtue and relating well to others. His vocabulary and concepts regularly pop up in other works, up to contemporary times; thus, grappling with Nicomachean Ethics makes those other works more understandable. Standing alongside and thinking with Aristotle increases one's ability to discern and decide on right action. As with other philosophical works, be ready to accept befuddlement from time to time, and talk with others about your gleanings as you read (and read again). Also, it is not necessary to agree with all of his conclusions to be aided by his exposition; you may find that you comprehend humans quite a bit better.

Ben Shapiro

The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took over Your TV

Primetime Propaganda is the story of how television has been used over the past sixty years by Hollywood writers, producers, actors, and executives to promote their liberal ideals, to push the envelope on social and political issues, and to shape America in their own leftist image. In this thoroughly researched and detailed history of the television industry, the conservative columnist and bestselling author Ben Shapiro argues that left-leaning entertainment kingpins in Los Angeles and New York have leveraged—and continue to use—their positions and power to push liberal messages and to promote the Democratic Party while actively discriminating against their opponents on the right. According to Shapiro, television isn't just about entertainment—it's an attempt to convince Americans that the social, economic, and foreign policy shaped by leftism is morally righteous. But don't take his word for it. Shapiro interviewed more than one hundred of the industry's biggest players, including Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H), Marta Kauffman (Friends), David Shore (House), and Mark Burnett (Survivor). Many of these insiders boast that not only is Hollywood biased against conservatives, but that many of the shows being broadcast have secret political messages. After reading this groundbreaking exposÉ, readers will never watch television the same way again.
