Spanning the era from the American Revolution to the Civil War, these nine pathbreaking original essays explore the unexpected, competing, or contradictory ways in which southerners made sense of manhood. Employing a rich variety of methodologies, the contributors look at southern masculinity within African American, white, and Native American communities; on the frontier and in towns; and across boundaries of class and age. Until now, the emerging subdiscipline of southern masculinity studies has been informed mainly by conclusions drawn from research on how the planter class engaged issues of honor, mastery, and patriarchy. But what about men who didn’t own slaves or were themselves enslaved? These essays illuminate the mechanisms through which such men negotiated with overarching conceptions of masculine power. Here the reader encounters Choctaw elites struggling to maintain manly status in the market economy, black and white artisans forging rival communities and competing against the gentry for social recognition, slave men on the southern frontier balancing community expectations against owner domination, and men in a variety of military settings acting out community expectations to secure manly status. As Southern Manhood brings definition to an emerging subdiscipline of southern history, it also pushes the broader field in new directions. All of the essayists take up large themes in antebellum history, including southern womanhood, the advent of consumer culture and market relations, and the emergence of sectional conflict.

Man from the South is a short, sharp, chilling story from Roald Dahl, the master of the shocking tale. In Man from the South, Roald Dahl, one of the world's favourite authors, tells a sinister story about the darker side of human nature. Here, a man takes part in a very unusual bet, one with appalling consequences . . . Man from the South is taken from the short story collection Someone Like You, which includes seventeen other devious and shocking stories, featuring the wife who serves a dish that baffles the police; a curious machine that reveals the horrifying truth about plants; the man waiting to be bitten by the venomous snake asleep on his stomach; and others. 'The absolute master of the twist in the tale.' (Observer ) This story is also available as a Penguin digital audio download read by Stephen Mangan. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.

La méditation est un énorme défi pour les débutants. Ils s'attachent à une pensée et la poussent trop loin. Lorsque vous essayez de surmonter des pensées négatives, écrire à leur sujet peut vous aider à briser le schéma. L'écriture est beaucoup plus facile. Vous devez vous concentrer sur quelque chose: le processus d'écriture. Les pensées et les émotions sont donc en arrière-plan, et vous les mettez sur papier. Il est possible de rester détaché lorsque vous écrivez des pensées et des sentiments. Vous y parviendrez de mieux en mieux avec la pratique. Une fois que vous êtes dans le tourbillon des pensées négatives, elles vous consument. Une pensée en entraîne une autre, et bientôt, vous êtes tellement déprimé que vous ne voyez pas comment sortir de cette mauvaise situation. Que fait l'écriture ? Elle vous aide à voir les choses sans être trop attaché. Essayez d'exprimer vos sentiments et d'écrire pendant cinq minutes aujourd'hui. Vous devrez peut-être vous forcer à le faire pendant quelques jours, mais faites-le. Vous ne remarquerez même pas que cette pratique se transforme en routine.
