DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn a fusion of fact and fiction, nineteenth-century women institutionalized as hysterics reveal what history ignored “City of Incurable Women is a brilliant exploration of the type of female bodily and psychic pain once commonly diagnosed as hysteria—and the curiously hysterical response to it commonly exhibited by medical men. It is a novel of powerful originality, riveting historical interest, and haunting lyrical beauty.” —Sigrid Nunez, author of The Friend and What Are You Going Through “Where are the hysterics, those magnificent women of former times?” wrote Jacques Lacan. Long history’s ghosts, marginalized and dispossessed due to their gender and class, they are reimagined by Maud Casey as complex, flesh-and-blood people with stories to tell. These linked, evocative prose portraits, accompanied by period photographs and medical documents both authentic and invented, poignantly restore the humanity to the nineteenth-century female psychiatric patients confined in Paris’s Salpêtrière hospital and reduced to specimens for study by the celebrated neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot and his male colleagues.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Maria Lorenza Longo was poisoned, she seemed doomed to a life of suffering until she was miraculously cured at the Holy House in Loreto. Maria became the mother of the poor, sick, and dying dedicating her life to serving the incurables and founding both a hospital and a religious order. From her contemporary St. Cajetan, founder of the Theatines, and from the Capuchin Friars, she drew her spiritual support and strength. She also played an important role in the early history of the Capuchin Order. This is authorized English translation of La Venerabile Maria Lorenza Longo by Agostino Falanga, OFM Cap., which was first published in Italy. Replete with new illustrations and a list of "rays of grace" (favors obtained through the intercession of the Venerable Maria), this book will further the cause for her canonization. While especially edifying for Franciscans and Theatines, this biography portrays a women who is an inspiration to all people. Book jacket.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA modern dystopian classic that stands alongside 1984 and Brave New World, Ira Levin’s This Perfect Day is a stunningly prescient work of science fiction that asks what it means to remain human in a world increasingly governed by technology and AI. “Chip” (born Li RM35M4419) lives in a future controlled by an all-powerful global supercomputer, UniComp. In this seemingly utopian society, free from war and want, every aspect of human existence is meticulously planned and calibrated for efficiency by Uni, which guides the lives of each member of the Family—the eugenically-merged human race, who share a single language and religion, yet live under constant chemical conditioning and behavioral monitoring—long unaware that their sustenance comes at the expense of all individuality and autonomy. When Chip begins to question Uni’s benevolence, he embarks on a perilous journey to reclaim his true self, and challenge Uni’s rule. Its predictions already proving unnervingly on target, This Perfect Day is a thought-provoking exploration of free will, and of who ultimately holds the reins of power. Levin’s masterful storytelling and vividly imagined world make for an epic tale that’s as unsettling as it is unforgettable.)
