Описание:
Like many others of my generation, I first read Camus in high school. I carried him in my backpack while traveling across Europe, I carried him into (and out of) relationships, and I carried him into (and out of) difficult periods of my life. More recently, I have carried him into university classes that I have taught, coming out of them with a renewed appreciation of his art. To be sure, my idea of Camus thirty years ago scarcely resembles my idea of him today. While my admiration and attachment to his writings remain as great as they were long ago, the reasons are more complicated and critical.—Robert Zaretsky
On October 16, 1957, Albert Camus was dining in a small restaurant on Paris's Left Bank when a waiter approached him with news: the radio had just announced that Camus had won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Camus insisted that a mistake had been made and that others were far more deserving of the honor than he. Yet Camus was already recognized around the world as the voice of a generation—a status he had achieved with dizzying speed. He published his first novel, The Stranger, in 1942 and emerged from the war as the spokesperson for the Resistance and, although he consistently rejected the label, for existentialism. Subsequent works of fiction (including the novels The Plague and The Fall), philosophy (notably, The Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel), drama, and social criticism secured his literary and intellectual reputation. And then on January 4, 1960, three years after accepting the Nobel Prize, he was killed in a car accident.
In a book distinguished by clarity and passion, Robert Zaretsky considers why Albert Camus mattered in his own lifetime and continues to matter today, focusing on key moments that shaped Camus's development as a writer, a public intellectual, and a man. Each chapter is devoted to a specific event: Camus's visit to Kabylia in 1939 to report on the conditions of the local Berber tribes; his decision in 1945 to sign a petition to commute the death sentence of collaborationist writer Robert Brasillach; his famous quarrel with Jean-Paul Sartre in 1952 over the nature of communism; and his silence about the war in Algeria in 1956.
Both engaged and engaging, Albert Camus: Elements of a Life is a searching companion to a profoundly moral and lucid writer whose works provide a guide for those perplexed by the absurdity of the human condition and the world's resistance to meaning.

Описание: Throughout his life James Boswell struggled to fashion a clear account of himself, but try as he might he could not reconcile the truths of his era with those of his religious upbringing. Few periods better crystallize this turmoil than 1763-1765, the years of his Grand Tour and the focus of Robert Zaretsky`s thrilling intellectual adventure.
Описание: "What motivates children to do well in school-and in life?" asks Sheila Zaretsky in this compelling, highly readable view of the most troubling aspect of modern education. "Why is it that some are goal oriented and succeed while others hang back, turn away, or totally shut down? How can the unmotivated ones be reached? Finding answers to these questions became the focus of my twenty-five-year career in teaching, and it remains the focus of my second career as a psychotherapist. This book tells what I have learned about the powerful inner forces that can lead to growth and success or to dysfunction and despair. It is also about how to help children reverse their patterns of desolation and failure." In this warm and compassionate story, she shares the insights she gained by applying therapeutic understanding to her inner-city classroom. Like Erin Gruell's "The Freedom Writer's Diary," it begins with wanting to connect with her often difficult students in a constructive way. In an innovative psychotherapeutic program, she found solutions that built rather than destroyed her students' egos. The balance of her twenty-five-year teaching career was a stress-free, creative, and fascinating adventure.
