It Can’t Happen Here
“The novel that foreshadowed Donald Trump’s authoritarian appeal.”—SalonIt Can’t Happen Here is the only one of Sinclair Lewis’s later novels to match the power of Main Street, Babbitt, and Arrowsmith. A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler’s aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press. Called “a message to thinking Americans” by the Springfield Republican when it was published in 1935, It Can’t Happen Here is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today’s news. With an Introduction by Michael Meyer and an Afterword by Gary Scharnhorst

The greatest underwater adventure ever written. French naturalist Professor Aronnax joins a task force to rid the seas of a monster that is terrorizing shipping lanes. But the Professor’s mission takes an unexpected turn when he falls overboard and is rescued by the ‘monster’ itself—the Nautilus, a man-made submarine built by the mysterious Captain Nemo. At first Aronnax is thrilled to see the unimaginable wonders of the oceans—the reef of coral that formed a cemetery, the floes of the South Pole, the huge oyster and its priceless pearl, the lost land of Atlantis—but soon he realizes that his host’s motives may be more sinister than he had thought. This triumphant work of the imagination shows the limitless possibilities of science and the dark depths of the human mind.

An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding by David Hume (H.B)
A man in a fit of anger, is actuated in a very different manner from one who only thinks of that emotion. If you tell me, that any person is in love, I easily understand your meaning, and form a just conception of his situation; but never can mistake that conception for the real disorders and agitations of the passion. When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed. It requires no nice discernment or metaphysical head to mark the distinction between them. -from “Of the Origin of Ideas” David Hume may well be the most significant philosopher ever to write in the English language: his arguments dramatically influenced both scientific and religious thinking, and much of what he wrote-particular concerning free will, political theory, and religion-still sounds startlingly modern. This 1748 treatise is the great thinker’s thinking on thinking. What can we know, and how can we be sure we really know it? Is there ever any “truth” outside of what we experience inside our own heads? Does experience lead to knowledge, or does experience in fact foil and fool our understanding of the world? Deeply empiricist and skeptical, Hume’s ideas continue to be reflected in everything from modern psychology to modern science fiction.
