A.M. Gibbs provides an authoritative and comprehensive account of the life, career and associations of George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), one of the most eminent and influential literary figures of the modern age. Drawing on a wide range of published and unpublished material, this work illuminates the complex fabric of Shaw's extraordinary career as playwright, novelist, critic, orator, political activist, social commentator, avant-garde thinker and controversialist. Images of Shaw's daily private life, and of his tangled love affairs, flirtations and friendships, are intertwined with the records of his prodigiously productive career as public figure and creative writer, in a fully documented study which is both a scholarly resource and a lively biographical portrait. An introductory chapter explores theoretical issues in biography raised by the chronology form; and a chapter on Shaw's ancestry and family supplies new evidence about his Irish background. A Who's Who section contains thumbnail sketches of over two hundred contemporaries of Shaw who had significant associations with him.

Bernie was once a promising country singer, but he lost nearly everything-his career, his home, his marriage-and retreated to a rural village in Maine. His two sons are a chip off the old block. There is Rich, who relies on his acerbic wit and libertarian grounding to guard him from entanglement, and Evan, whose spiritual longing moves him out into the world far from his New England roots. So when Bernie dies years later, the brothers' estrangement is engrained. Now middle-aged, they must come to terms with each other and the mixed legacy handed them. The Will of Bernard Boynton is a soft-hearted tribute to a rock-hard people."Maybe the best we can do in this life-no, maybe our work is to undo the karma our ancestors have built up. Someone has to atone. Their stories... all stored up inside of us, moving us, making decisions for us we would never agree to otherwise."The play takes place in summer in 2012, and Christmas time in 1993, at the home of Bernie (Bernard) Boynton in Liberty, Maine-a rural, inland community, pop. 927. The home is basically one room, and crammed with the wreckage of his previous life. There is also, briefly, a visit to a morgue and a crematorium in the nearby small city of Belfast.
Author David Ross's biography of Georoge Bernard Shaw is exceptionally readable and entertaining. The life, wit and prolific achievements of this Irish icon are conveyed with insight and understanding.
Autour de Hegel: Hommage a Bernard Bourgeois

Restituer toute la vitalite speculative de l'idealisme allemand, si indispensable a l'actualite de la philosophie, et dans cet esprit, faire a Hegel, en France, toute la place qui lui revient: telle est la tache a laquelle Bernard Bourgeois s'est magistralement consacre, par ses traductions et ses commentaires. La necessite de rendre hommage a son oeuvre se concretise donc, dans ce recueil, en tournant Autour de Hegel. Que Hegel soit aborde en personne; qu'on le cotoie au plus pres de son centre, en traitant de Rousseau, Kant, Jacobi, Fichte ou Schelling, ou sur des trajectoires paralleles, en evoquant Comte ou Kierkegaard; qu'on fasse surgir, en allant a sa rensontre, Socrate ou Aristote, et a l'autre extreme, Max Weber, Freud, Pierce, James ou Gadamer, c'est bien l'universel du logos qui entre chaque fois en scene avec la singularite hegelienne, cela meme que Bernard Bourgeois a toujours voulu faire entendre.

Life was tough for me as a child. While we lived in poverty, my parents did the best they could for my siblings and me. I was often called names and ridiculed. Join me as I journey from the rocky playgrounds of Burnt Savannah to Boys Champs, Carifta Games, NCAA. The Olympic Games and winning a Commonwealth Games Gold medal. My experiences traveling the world will tell you how I finally realized that true happiness is not all about winning medals or accomplishing your goals. In pursuing athletic supremacy, I came to realize that it did not provide the satisfaction I envisioned. I finally understood that fame from athletic pursuit only left me wanting and empty at times.
