Matt had been sexually abusing Alexis for fourteen years. It started after their son, Jimmy, had been born. After sexually abusing her with a mini-baseball bat, Matt gave her the option, "Okay, Alexis, you or the baby. Make your choice now."She pleaded with him. "Matt, please don't touch the baby. Do anything to me, but please, please don't touch the baby.""Okay, Alexis, one word to authorities, one sound comes out of you, and I go straight to that miserable piece of crap that came out of you. You know I can't control myself once I get that urge. Yeah, yeah, I know he's my kid, but I have no control, you know that. Watch what you say and do. It might turn out to be both of you when I get like this," said Matt.Just after he turned fourteen, Jimmy was killed in a drive-by shooting. Alexis was devastated. She missed her baby. She was heartbroken. It was a horrible way for it to happen, but it became her way out. Now all her fantasies of how to leave Matt could be realized.Will she make it? Will she be able to get away before the urge to use the bat on her again overtakes him? She knew if she got away and he found her, he would kill her. He had a girlfriend. In the past, it always saved her when he had a girlfriend. She didn't understand why that worked in her favor, but she'd take it.
Rujonkaunis romaani Aleksis Kiven kohtalonvuosista on traaginen kuvaus kirjailijasta, joka ei löydä paikkaansa maailmassa.Nälkävuosien kaataessa kansaa Alexis elää Charlotta Lönnqvistin hyväntahdon varassa Fanjunkarsin torpassa ja kirjoittaa kirjaa seitsemästä miehestä. Hän on demoniensa riivaama eikä tunne kuuluvansa joukkoon missään: ei talonpoikain työteliäässä seurassa eikä Helsingin seurapiireissä, joiden tunnustuksesta ja taloudellisesta tuesta hän on riippuvainen. Luonto, haaveet ja kirjallisuus ovat hänen kotinsa.”Täällä pitkien taivalten ja vähien lukijoiden maassa ei kirjoittajalla ole muuta kuin oma uskonsa ja hiukan niiden uskoa, jotka näkevät kauemmaksi.”

This title opens a new window into the life and thought of Alexis de Tocqueville, presenting him as not only a political thinker but also a person deeply shaped by the tensions and ideals of his time. Known for Democracy in America, Tocqueville’s insights into American democracy have often overshadowed his reflections on French society, friendship, and personal struggles. This compilation of letters, many unpublished in English before, spans his political career, his friendships, and his inner conflicts, revealing his ongoing battle between intellectual ideals and the harsh realities of the political landscape. His letters bring to light a Tocqueville who was both drawn to political action and increasingly disillusioned by the self-serving nature of his era’s middle class. Tocqueville’s correspondence reveals a figure influenced by both Enlightenment rationalism and Romanticism’s emphasis on feeling and individuality. While often critical of Romantic melancholy, he was himself plagued by existential doubt and frustration over the limited impact of his political actions. He viewed society’s growing emphasis on materialism and self-interest as symptoms of a broader decline, leaving him torn between admiration for civic virtues and disappointment in the era’s lack of ambition. Religion and friendship emerge as stabilizing forces in his life, with his close bond with Gustave de Beaumont standing out as a source of both comfort and challenge. The letters show how Tocqueville’s personal relationships and ethical convictions shaped his intellectual pursuits and his concerns for France’s future. The editors, Roger Boesche and James Toupin, present these letters with careful translation and thorough contextual notes, giving readers both the historical background and access to Tocqueville’s unique literary style. The work provides readers with a portrait of a man wrestling with the challenges of his age, caught between democratic ideals and the evolving reality of French society. For modern readers, these letters illuminate how Tocqueville’s personal struggles informed his enduring political insights, highlighting his belief in community and civic duty as essential defenses against tyranny. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1985.

Alexis de Tocqueville, the First Social Scientist
Jon Elster
Cambridge University Press
2009
sidottu
The book proposes a new interpretation of Alexis de Tocqueville that views him first and foremost as a social scientist rather than as a political theorist. Drawing on his earlier work on the explanation of social behavior, Elster argues that Tocqueville's main claim to our attention today rests on the large number of exportable causal mechanisms to be found in his work, many of which are still worthy of further exploration. Elster proposes a novel reading of Democracy in America in which the key explanatory variable is the rapid economic and political turnover rather than equality of wealth at any given point in time. He also offers a reading of The Ancien Régime and the Revolution as grounded in the psychological relations among the peasantry, the bourgeoisie, and the nobility. Consistently going beyond exegetical commentary, he argues that Tocqueville is eminently worth reading today for his substantive and methodological insights.
