Notes on the New Society of the Philippines


Ferdinand E. Marcos - 1973
    With a cool objectivity that heightens rather than diminishes the excruciating drama behind his historic decision, Ferdinand E. Marcos, President of the Philippines, narrates the events which made the proclamation of martial law—and the building of a new society—a compelling necessity of national survival. This book offers valuable insights into the rationale of martial law and the governing principles of the New Society. President Marcos was making notes for a sequel to his first book. Today's Revolution: Democracy, when he had to take the fateful decision which launched what he calls the "September 21 Movement. "Hence, these notes, indicating not an incompleteness of vision but the pressure on the nation and the Presidency: the race for time. But even as "notes," there is a wholeness in them, a logical consistency proceeding from the chapter on the rebellion of the poor to the final chapter on the theory and practice in the New Society, that justifies their publication for the enlightenment of the concerned citizenry and interested observers of Philippine affairs. The author further announces two other books, Constitution and Martial Law and A Philippine President's Diary.(from the book flaps)

John Keats: A New Life


Nicholas Roe - 2012
    Instead, Nicholas Roe reveals the real flesh-and-blood poet: a passionate man driven by ambition but prey to doubt, suspicion, and jealousy; sure of his vocation while bitterly resentful of the obstacles that blighted his career; devoured by sexual desire and frustration; and in thrall to alcohol and opium. Through unparalleled original research, Roe arrives at a fascinating reassessment of Keats's entire life, from his early years at Keats's Livery Stables through his harrowing battle with tuberculosis and death at age 25. Zeroing in on crucial turning points, Roe finds in the locations of Keats's poems new keys to the nature of his imaginative quest.Roe is the first biographer to provide a full and fresh account of Keats's childhood in the City of London and how it shaped the would-be poet. The mysterious early death of Keats's father, his mother's too-swift remarriage, living in the shadow of the notorious madhouse Bedlam—all these affected Keats far more than has been previously understood. The author also sheds light on Keats's doomed passion for Fanny Brawne, his circle of brilliant friends, hitherto unknown City relatives, and much more. Filled with revelations and daring to ask new questions, this book now stands as the definitive volume on one of the most beloved poets of the English language.
