The book scrutinizes some of the blatant anomalies of our species and does so in a factual and dispassionate way. It also covers the author’s many witnessed paranormal experiences and exposes the deep damage done to the human psyche though its detachment and substitution into bogus faith systems. The main focus however, is on mankind’s destructiveness to the planet and its life forms. A trait recognised by Plato (427-347BC) concerning the ‘blind side’ of human beings. [more]

The unknown individual who was responsible for the accident did not enter into the question; no one was consigned to everlasting torture in the deepest depths of purgatory; a calm, dispassionate presentation of an abstraction was all that greeted my ears. The practice of thoughtlessness was condemned as a thing entirely apart from the practitioner, and as a tendency needing correction. Inwardly, I know he swore; outwardly, he was as serene as though nothing untoward had happened to him. [more]

Emile Zola La Bete Humaine (fiscle Part-VI)

La Bete humaine (1890), the seventeenth novel in the Rougon-Macquart series, is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion, and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control. Zola considered this his 'most finely worked' novel, and in it he powerfully evokes life at the end of the Second Empire in France, where society seemed to be hurtling into the future like the new locomotives and railways it was building. While expressing the hope that human nature evolves through education and gradually frees itself of the burden of inherited evil, he is constantly reminding us that under the veneer of technological progress there remains, always, the beast within. This new translation captures Zola's fast-paced yet deliberately dispassionate style, while the introduction and detailed notes place the novel in its social, historical, and literary context.

Samuel Johnson Notes To Shakespeare, Volume Iii: The Tragedies

Dr. Johnson'S Reaction To Shakespeare'S Tragedies Is A Curious One, Compounded As It Is Of Deep Emotional Involvement In a Few Scenes In Some Plays And A Strange Dispassionateness Toward Most Of The Others. I Suspect That His Emotional Involvement Took Root When He Read Shakespeare As A Boy--One Remembers The Terror He Experienced In Reading Of The Ghost In _Hamlet_, And It Was Probably Also As A Boy That He Suffered That Shock Of Horrified Outrage And Grief At The Death Of Cordelia That Prevented Him From Rereading The Scene Until Be Came To Edit The Play. Johnson'S Deepest Feelings And Convictions, Professor Clifford Has Recently Reminded Us, Can Be Traced Back To His Childhood And Adolescence. But It Is Surprising To Learn, As One Does From His Commentary, That Other Scenes In These Very Plays (_Hamlet_ And _King Lear_, And In _Macbeth_, Too) Leave Him Unmoved, If One Can So Interpret The Absence Of Any But An Explanatory Note On, Say, Lear'S Speech Beginning "Pray, Do Not Mock Me;/I Am A Very Foolish Fond Old Man." Besides This Negative Evidence There Is Also The Positive Evidence Of Many Notes Which Display The Dispassionate Editorial Mind At Work Where One Might Expect From Johnson An Outburst Of Personal Feeling. There Are Enough Of These Outbursts To Warrant Our Expecting Others, But We Are Too Frequently Disappointed. Perhaps Johnson Thought Of Most Of Shakespeare'S Tragedies As "Imperial Tragedies" And That Is Why He Could Maintain A Stance Of Aloofness; Conversely, "The Play Of _Timon_ Is A Domestick Tragedy, And Therefore Strongly Fastens On The Attention Of The Reader." But The "Tragedy" Of Timon Does Not Capture The Attention Of The Modern Reader, And Perhaps All Attempts To Fix Johnson'S Likes And Dislikes, And The Reasons For Them, In The Canon Of Shakespeare'S Plays Must Circle Endlessly Without Ever Getting To Their Destination.
