Excerpt from The Superlative and Other Essays Finally the essay on Social Aims contains wise principles with which to enter upon the con scious membership of society. There comes a time, early or late, in every one's life, when individuality asserts itself strongly, and the three earlier essays reinforce, as Emerson mainly does in his writings, the consciousness of individual worth. But, at the same time, generally, one also becomes aware that he is a member of society, and not simply one of a family, and the doctrines taught in Social Aims are sound, stimulating, and corrective.

Excerpt from The Superlative and Other Essays In a previous number (42) of the Riverside Literature Series, a small group of Emerson's essays was presented, and the opportunity was taken of giving a brief biographical account of the writer. In connection with this number, therefore, only a table of dates is given for convenient reference by the student. Another number (113) contains a selection from Emerson's poems. Whether one is reading his prose or his poetry, one is aware of that power which expressed itself in assertion, direct or indirect, rather than in argument or reasoning. It was the seer who spoke or sang in Emerson, and this advantage the reader has in listening to him, that there is no uncertain sound. Every sentence is struck out with decision and without modifications. There is thus a frosty quality in the speech which tingles the ears, and one goes through an essay as if he were taking a walk on a clear wintry morning. The group here presented, though the essays are taken from different volumes, has a general coherence as regards the education of the young American.

A Brilliant Deceit And Other Essays written by Lloyd M. Barré and has been published by iUniverse this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2001 with Religion categories.
In the first part of A Brilliant Deceit and Other Essays, the author offers fresh evidence to support a thesis put forward by the famous New Testament scholar Hermann Samuel Reimarus (1694-1768) that the disciples of Jesus perpetrated a resurrection hoax. That evidence is presented in a series of short essays that contain references to overlapping observations made by Reimarus. The second part of the book isolates socio-religious trajectories in ancient Israelite religion. The author’s fundamental findings challenge the widespread notion that ancient Israel was a homogeneous culture united under the worship of the high god Yahweh Sabaoth. Instead, he argues that the Old Testament traditions are not the product of one people but two, originally and distinctly worshipping the high gods El and Yahweh. Dr. Barré received his doctorate in religion from Vanderbilt University in 1986. His writings have been published in such scholarly journals as the Catholic Biblical Quarterly, Vetus Testamentum, Zeitschrift für die alttestamentlische Wissenschaft, and the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament. He has contributed articles to the Mercer Dictionary of the Bible and his dissertation was published under the title, The Rhetoric of Political Persuasion: The Narrative Artistry and Political Intentions of 2 Kings 9-11.

The only collection of Boll's nonfiction prose to be published in English spans over two decades of social, political, literary, and cultural commentary. These twenty-nine essays, reviews, and speeches reflect the same moral passion and deep wisdom that resonate through his fiction. Here is Boll the Nobel laureate and Boll the private man: his compassion for ordinary people, his unblinking view of the tragedies of war, his satiric portrait of modern urban life, and his deeply personal reflections on life and literature.
