"The first decade of the twenty-first century was noteworthy for war, terror, religious revival, economic collapse, and a technological revolution that prompted countless critical responses and gave rise to a paradox: writing flourished, but reading declined. Reading the 21st Century investigates the urgent themes, major works, and crisis of reading in an era of instant communication. In wide-ranging and innovative criticism, Stan Persky examines international non-fiction and fiction to engage with both the triumphs and tensions of reading and writing today. Evaluating works by established authors Philip Roth, Orhan Pamuk, J.M. Coetzee, and Joseþ Saramago, as well as emerging writers like Naomi Klein, Javier Cercas, and Chimamanda Adichie, Persky also showcases a remarkable group of reporters - Steve Coll, Dexter Filkins, and Rajiv Chandrasekaran - who have written essential books about global issues. An illuminating and accessible work about the present age, Reading the 21st Century introduces new ways of thinking about the world's most significant cultural, political, and moral problems.

Finding Wisdom in East Asian Classics is an essential, all-access guide to the core texts of East Asian civilization and culture. Essays address frequently read, foundational texts in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese, as well as early modern fictional classics and nonfiction works of the seventeenth century. Building strong links between these writings and the critical traditions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, this volume shows the vital role of the classics in the shaping of Asian history and in the development of the humanities at large.Wm. Theodore de Bary focuses on texts that have survived for centuries, if not millennia, through avid questioning and contestation. Recognized as perennial reflections on life and society, these works represent diverse historical periods and cultures and include the Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Xunxi, the Lotus Sutra, Tang poetry, the Pillow Book, The Tale of Genji, and the writings of Chikamatsu and Kaibara Ekken. Contributors explain the core and most commonly understood aspects of these works and how they operate within their traditions. They trace their reach and reinvention throughout history and their ongoing relevance in modern life. With fresh interpretations of familiar readings, these essays inspire renewed appreciation and examination. In the case of some classics open to multiple interpretations, de Bary chooses two complementary essays from different contributors. Expanding on debates concerning the challenges of teaching classics in the twenty-first century, several pieces speak to the value of Asia in the core curriculum. Indispensable for early scholarship on Asia and the evolution of global civilization, Finding Wisdom in East Asian Classics helps one master the major texts of human thought.

L'expérience de la Nouvelle-France et du Québec ancien a poussé à l'écriture des voyageurs, des missionnaires, des érudits, des savants et des sages. Les uns ont décrit cette partie du monde, son histoire, ses caractéristiques, ses peuples ; les autres en ont expliqué les dimensions du monde physique, de la vie ou de l'expérience humaine. De Lescarbot et Champlain à Charlevoix, les ouvrages des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, liés à l'exploration d'un nouveau monde et au contact avec des peuples très différents des Européens, sont à la fois géographiques, ethnologiques et historiques, mais l'histoire comme genre apparaît vraiment en 1845, avec F. X. Garneau. D'autres textes, de James Huston, d'Etienne Parent, de Léon Gérin, d'Ernest Gagnon, examinent la langue, la littérature et la culture ou encore les traits sociologiques du Canada français du XIXe siècle. La géologie avec William Logan, l'entomologie avec Léon Provancher et la médecine avec William Osier forment le contingent des sciences. La philosophie, la théologie et même la mystique, avec Marie de l'Incarnation, trouvent aussi leur voix dans cet ouvrage qui présente, avec un regard actuel, 27 véritables monuments intellectuels, aux origines de la tradition culturelle du Québec.
