In Defense of Women
ISBN: 9788027342587 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This controversial book was written as a protest in favor of women's rights and a critical description of a woman's position in the post-WWI society. The title itself is ironic: this was not so much a defense of women as a critique of the relationship between the sexes. It covers the following topics: compulsory marriage, women's suffrage, the feminine mind, maternal instincts, the ethics of women, intuition, why women fail, and the future of marriage.

If George Washington were alive today, what a shining mark he would be for the whole camorra of uplifters, forward-lookers and professional patriots He was the Rockefeller of his time, the richest man in the United States, a promoter of stock companies, a land-grabber, an exploiter of mines and timber.

A Book of Prefaces
ISBN: 9781512126860 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Under all his stories there ebbs and flows a kind of tempered melancholy, a sense of seeking and not finding...." I take the words from a little book on Joseph Conrad by Wilson Follett, privately printed, and now, I believe, out of print. They define both the mood of the stories as works of art and their burden and direction as criticisms of life. Like Dreiser, Conrad is forever fascinated by the "immense indifference of things," the tragic vanity of the blind groping that we call aspiration, the profound meaninglessness of life-fascinated, and left wondering.

In Defense of Women

As a professional critic of life and letters, my principal business in the world is that of manufacturing platitudes for tomorrow, which is to say, ideas so novel that they will be instantly rejected as insane and outrageous by all right thinking men, and so apposite and sound that they will eventually conquer that instinctive opposition, and force themselves into the traditional wisdom of the race. I hope I need not confess that a large part of my stock in trade consists of platitudes rescued from the cobwebbed shelves of yesterday, with new labels stuck rakishly upon them.
