Elizabeth D. Samet Livres
Elizabeth D. Samet explore les liens complexes entre la littérature et les structures sociales, en particulier dans le contexte militaire et la nature évolutive du consentement. Ses recherches examinent comment l'obéissance et la participation volontaire ont façonné l'histoire américaine, en utilisant l'analyse littéraire pour éclairer les expériences des soldats et leur engagement sur les thèmes de la paix et de la guerre. Forte d'une vaste expérience d'enseignement à West Point, Samet offre une perspective distinctive sur les concepts de devoir, d'honneur et d'identité. Son œuvre invite les lecteurs à contempler la profonde interaction entre la conscience individuelle, la responsabilité civique et les cadres moraux.

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.
