Hello everyone!!

We're wrapping up the year in serious fashion, diving once back into Imperialism everywhere, with the 2025 Superman, and bringing our superhero liasion along, André!

This was a film really well talked about for being positive, and progressive and... things which it isn't. It's still imperialist and still very much on the US' side when thinking about anything.

So come along as we look at this at first, maybe good superhero film, and yet, rather vile film, regardless of its liberal good intentions.

Enjoy!

And do check out André's text on superhero films and his interview with good friend Jon from Horror Vanguard:

Hello everyone!!

We're finally tackling Tolkien! And so here we are, at the beggining... In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit.

We go into Tolkien's role in fantasy, how The Hobbit still holds up as both a monument of fantasy and still an excellent book, and the resonance that this work has to fantasy still.

Thus we close off 2025 on The Left Page, by beggining Tolkien, with more to come!

Enjoy!

Hello everyone!!

We're back talking about Brazilian Literature, with a long overdue request! It's "Golden Harvest" or "São Jorge dos Ilhéus", by Jorge Amado!

The horrors of capitalism are everywhere, and none less here, where the forces of empire and capital seek to make Brazilian cocoa production their own, with no regard for people and their lives.

So come along in this historically inspired novel to further deepen the obviousness that we must abolish the present state of things.

Enjoy!
