Sobre IBD

From the bustling coffeehouses of eighteenth-century London to the quiet corners where character is tested and shaped, these classic essays invite readers into the world of Isaac Bickerstaff-Richard Steele’s wise, good-humoured observer of everyday life.Told with warmth, wit, and moral clarity, the papers gathered here reveal Steele’s purpose in creating the Tatler: to offer wholesome pleasure while gently correcting the follies of his age. Alongside Addison, he portrays courtship, family life, vanity, honour, friendship, and grief with a tenderness that ennobles rather than mocks. Whether describing a happy marriage, exposing fashionable vices, or defending the dignity of home, Bickerstaff speaks with a voice at once playful and profoundly humane.Readers will find here not only glimpses of a bygone London, but reflections that illuminate enduring truths about virtue, conduct, and the shaping of character-making this volume as heartening today as when it first appeared.

  • On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
    HENRY DAVID THOREAU
    Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...
