William Howard Taft
The only man to serve as president and chief justice, who approached every decision in constitutional terms, defending the Founders' vision against new populist threats to American democracy William Howard Taft never wanted to be president and yearned instead to serve as chief justice of the United States. But despite his ambivalence about politics, the former federal judge found success in the executive branch as governor of the Philippines and secretary of war, and he won a resounding victory in the presidential election of 1908 as Theodore Roosevelt's handpicked successor. In this provocative assessment, Jeffrey Rosen reveals Taft's crucial role in shaping how America balances populism against the rule of law. Taft approached each decision as president by asking whether it comported with the Constitution, seeking to put Roosevelt's activist executive orders on firm legal grounds. But unlike Roosevelt, who thought the president could do anything the Constitution didn't forbid, Taft

William Wilson, E-bok
Inspired by Poe’s own tragic life, the short story clearly presages Freud’s method of psychoanalysis. In a very Fight-club-like plot and situations, “William Wilson” is a journey within the mind. Some sixty years prior to Freud’s clinical work and theoretical developments, Poe’s story is an example of the rise of the psychological genre in literature.A fruitful, and at the same time paranoid, the theme of the doppelganger runs strong in Edgar Allan Poe’s fiction. From “The Fall of the House of Usher” to “Morella” and “Ligeia”, Poe’s characters are constantly harassed by conscious entities that mirror the chaos within the protagonists’ unconscious. The influence of “William Wilson” can be felt in the proliferation of contemporary movies exploring the idea of the double, such as Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” (1958), Basil Dearden’s “The Man Who Haunted Himself” (1970) or Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan” (2010).Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American poet, author, and literary critic. Most famous for his poetry, short stories, and tales of the supernatural, mysterious, and macabre, he is also regarded as the inventor of the detective genre and a contributor to the emergence of science fiction, dark romanticism, and weird fiction. His most famous works include “The Raven” (1945), "The Black Cat” (1943), and “The Gold-Bug” (1843).
William Wilson, E-bok
William Wilson en novell av Edgar Allan Poes. Den publicerades första gången 1839 i Burton's Gentleman's Magazine. Novellen ingår även i samlingen Den svarta katten och andra noveller. EDGAR ALLAN POE föddes i Boston 1809. Efter korta försök inom universitetsvärlden och militären blev han biträdande redaktör för Southern Literary Messenger i Richmond och började verka som litteraturkritiker och författare. Romanen Arthur Gordon Pyms äventyr från 1838 mötte ingen större uppskattning; det var i novellerna som hans sällsamma senromantiska stil verkligen kom till sin rätt. Han avled i Baltimore år 1849.
Voi William!, E-bok
Lumoavan Lucy Bartonin paluu!Elizabeth Strout ilahduttaa palaamalla Lucy Bartonin vaiheisiin romaanissa, jossa yllättävä paljastus asettaa jo eroon päättyneen avioliiton täysin uuteen valoon.Miten helppoa se onkaan, olla naimisissa jonkun kanssa, josta loppujen lopuksi ei tiedä paljonkaan. Ja sitten kun eron jälkeen saa tietää, ei tarvitse enää välittää. Vai tarvitseeko? Kirjailija Lucy Barton on eronnut sopuisasti ensimmäisestä aviomiehestään Williamista jo vuosia sitten, mutta nyt käy ilmi jotakin, joka vie heidät vielä yhdelle yhteiselle matkalle. Amerikan parhaisiin kirjailijoihin lukeutuva Strout on kirjoittanut ehkä lumoavimman romaaninsa, erään avioliiton intiimin muotokuvan.Elizabeth Strout (s. 1956) on yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija, joka 2009 voitti Pulitzer-palkinnon teoksellaan Olive Kitteridge. Siitä tehtiin Emmy-palkittu ja myös Suomessa ihastuttanut tv-minisarja. Pienoisromaani Nimeni on Lucy Barton oli monien muiden Stroutin teosten tavoin arvostelumenestys, ja Suomessa kirjabloggarit äänestivät sen vuoden 2018 parhaaksi käännösromaaniksi. Pikkukaupunkien joskus niin ahdasta sielunelämää osuvasti kuvaava Strout on kotoisin Mainesta mutta asuu New Yorkissa.
