The Pleasures of Philosophy by Will Durant
Description:
Will Durant believes that beauty is born of desire. One of the salient signs that beauty is born of desire is that the desired object loses its beauty once it is obtained. What we want is not for the good, but for the good that we want.
The blue of the sky is not for our pleasure, but our eyes have gradually become accustomed to the blue sky. The natural pleasure of any shape and color is relative to its repetition in the human past.

This seventh edition has been revised and updated throughout, with substantial changes to the chapters on phonetics and semantics, and forty new study questions.

An expanded and revised online study guide provides students with further resources, including answers and tutorials for all tasks, while encouraging lively and proactive learning. This is the most fundamental and easy-to-use introduction to the study of language.
Reviews
‘With a wide array of illustrative examples, accessible explanations, and engaging activities, Yule excels in transforming his readers’ inherent familiarity with language into explicit knowledge of linguistic concepts. In its seventh edition, The Study of Language thus retains its status as the pre-eminent text for introducing students to language as a field of study and guiding them through a broad range of linguistic analyses.’
Kristy Beers Fagersten – Södertörn University, Sweden
‘The Study of Language provides a solid overview of an impressively wide range of areas in linguistics, not only ‘core’ areas such as syntax and phonology, but also the origins of language, pragmatics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics and more. Each chapter succeeds in providing a thorough overview of its topic while remaining at a level appropriate to newcomers in the field. The book is written in a style accessible even to non-native English speakers. A great book for introductory undergraduate linguistics classes. The study questions and tasks at the end of each chapter are engaging and the discussion topics/projects are designed to push students beyond the material, and to use their own experiences and analytical skills to think about language.’
Kathleen O’Connor – Université Charles-de-Gaulle Lille III
‘… the 7th edition of The Study of Language continues the charm of Yule’s introductory method for student and instructor, offering intellectually manageable chunks of information to first-time learners of linguistics, with ample space for elaboration and practice in the classroom.’
Aaron Smith – Illinois State University
‘In this beautifully exemplified and coherently structured book, Yule guides readers through the various aspects of language study. This is an ideal introduction to linguistics for students and practitioners with a general interest in language. This edition is enriched with study questions and tasks which will be particularly useful to readers.’
Sofia Lampropoulou – University of Liverpool
‘… an impeccably organized introduction to linguistics.’
Geraldine Bard – Buffalo State College, State University of New York
‘My students continue to rate this text highly for its depth, creativity, and accessibility. In my opinion, The Study of Language ought to be required reading for education majors and pre-service teachers; indeed, for any student who wishes to effectively use language as a tool in their profession.’

Juno and the Paycock by Sean O’Casey
Juno and the Paycock Summary
Juno and the Paycock is set in the Dublin tenements, or slums, during the Irish Civil War. It tells the story of the Boyle family: Jack Boyle, a self-centered man who spends his time drinking with his pal Joxer rather than looking for work; his wife Juno, responsible and hard-working, who takes care of the family; their son Johnny, who lost an arm in the Easter Rising and spends his days fearfully at home; and their daughter Mary, a young and somewhat vain idealist currently on strike.
The family learns from Mary’s fiance Charlie Bentham that they will inherit money from a relative of Boyle’s who has died. Upon hearing the news, Boyle borrows money from anyone who will lend it to him and makes purchases on credit, including furniture, a suit, and a gramophone. The family, along with their neighbor Mrs. Madigan, celebrates with an evening of song, although their spirits are dampened by the funeral procession of their neighbor Mrs. Tancred’s murdered son.
Tragedy strikes when Boyle finds out that Bentham, who drafted the will, did so in such a way that all of Boyles’ first and second cousins are eligible to receive a portion of the property, thus rendering the legacy worthless. Bentham breaks his engagement to Mary and retreats to England. Mary finds out she is pregnant and is consequently shunned by her male relatives and former suitor. As furniture men are emptying the apartment of furnishings, two Republican soldiers drag Johnny away; it turns out that he had given the information leading to the murder of Mrs. Tancred’s son, and he is consequently murdered as well.
Juno decides that she and Mary will live with her sister and raise the baby together, leaving Boyle to fend for himself. The play ends with Boyle and Joxer returning to the stage drunk, Boyle retreating into a world of alcohol-induced fantasy rather than facing his problems.
Animal Farm by George Orwell
George Orwell’s timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire on a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism.
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.
When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

John Keats Selected Poems
John Keats was born in London on 31 October 1795, the eldest of Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats’s four children. Although he died at the age of twenty-five, Keats had perhaps the most remarkable career of any English poet. He published only fifty-four poems, in three slim volumes and a few magazines. But over his short development he took on the challenges of a wide range of poetic forms from the sonnet, to the Spenserian romance, to the Miltonic epic, defining anew their possibilities with his own distinctive fusion of earnest energy, control of conflicting perspectives and forces, poetic self-consciousness, and, occasionally, dry ironic wit.
