Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) was a French political thinker
and historian, and wrote the famous work "Democracy in America" in
two volumes. This work is renowned for characterising the American
Institutions and adding to the understanding of the United States
like no other. He analysed the social standards of people and the
relationship between raising social standards and the free market.
He thereby became one of the founding fathers of sociology and
political science. This book is a seminal text in economic
sociology. Tocqueville has the capacity to stand back from the
object of his study and to reflect deeply and at times with wit,
whilst offering the reader his incisive clarity. This collection
includes both volumes of Democracy in America, in addition it
includes the "Recollections of Alexis de Tocqueville" - his
thoughts and observations on the French Revolution, another work
demonstrating his shrewd objective perspective. He identified the
hazards of the course that his country was taking and also the
difficulties of ensuring that there was both equality and freedom.
It is a first-hand account of the upheavals that the country
suffered over the months of the revolution - consequently it is
exhilarating, honest and thrilling to read. Tocqueville's analysis
is relevant for any democracy and consequently this work is
relevant far beyond the borders of France.

Rumored to be haunted, the Palais Garnier opera house in nineteenth-century Paris is the setting for this story of a dangerous love triangle involving a young Swedish soprano, her mysterious “Phantom” tutor, and her childhood friend. When Carlotta, the lead soprano, takes ill and Christine Daaé’s understudy performance is a rousing success, Vicomte Raoul de Chagny falls in love with Christine. Meanwhile, her tutor, “the Angel of Music,” whom she believes has been sent by her deceased father, is also coveting Christine’s affections. But the Angel is no phantom as everyone believes, and his fears of Christine’s rejection due to his masked disfigurement prompts him to abduct her and extract a promise of marriage born of wild jealousy. This latest addition to the Word Cloud Classic series will have you burning the candles low to reach the dark, gothic ending.
