Elizabeth D. Samet Libros
Elizabeth D. Samet explora las intrincadas conexiones entre la literatura y las estructuras sociales, particularmente en el contexto militar y la naturaleza evolutiva del consentimiento. Su erudición examina cómo la obediencia y la participación voluntaria han dado forma a la historia estadounidense, utilizando el análisis literario para iluminar las experiencias de los soldados y su compromiso con temas de paz y guerra. Con una amplia experiencia docente en West Point, Samet ofrece una perspectiva distintiva sobre los conceptos de deber, honor e identidad. Su obra invita a los lectores a contemplar la profunda interacción entre la conciencia individual, la responsabilidad cívica y los marcos morales.

Includes a New Afterword by the Author A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A USA Today Best Book of 2007 A Christian Science Monitor Best Book of 2007 What does it mean to teach literature to a soldier? How does it prepare a young man or woman for combat? At West Point, Elizabeth Samet reads classic and modern works of literature with America's future military elite, and in this stirring memoir she chronicles the ways in which war has transformed her relationship to the books she and her students read together. While fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, Samet's former students share their thoughts on the poetry of Wallace Stevens, the fiction of Virginia Woolf and J. M. Coetzee, the epics of Homer, and the films of Bogart and Cagney. And their letters in turn prompt Samet to wonder exactly what she owes to cadets in the classroom. Soldier's Heart is an honest and original reflection on the relationship between art and life.
