“A Meteor of Intelligent Substance”
“Something was Missing in our Culture, and Here It Is”
“Liberties sure is needed in these times.”
In a short time since its launch, Liberties - A Journal of Culture and Politics, a quarterly, has become essential reading for those engaged in the cultural and political issues and causes of our time. The writers in Liberties offer deep experience from across borders, national identities, political affiliations and artistic achievements. As the introductory essay in the inaugural edition noted, “At this journal we are betting on what used to be called the common reader, who would rather reflect than belong and asks of our intellectual life more than a choice between orthodoxies.”
Each issue of Liberties features original in-depth essays and compelling new poetry from some of the world's most significant writers, artists, and scholars, as well as introducing new talent, to inspire and impact the intellectual and creative lifeblood of today’s culture and politics.
This spring issue of Liberties includes:
- Giles Kepel on the Murder of Samuel Paty
- Ingrid Rowland’s Long Live the Classics!
- Vladimir Kara-Murza Surviving Putin’s Poisons
- Paul Starr on Reckoning with National Failure from Covid
- Becca Rothfeld on Today's Sanctimony Literature
- Enrique Krauze explores What is Latin America?
- William Deresiewicz on Why Great Visual Art Forces Us to Think; Benjamin Moser on Rediscovering Frans Hals
- David Nirenberg on What We Can Learn from Earlier Plagues
- Agnes Callard’s view of Romance without Love, Love without Romance
- Mitchell Abidor looks back to “Social Media” in 1895 to Understand a Crowd’s “Wisdom”
- The Tallis Scholars' Peter Phillips on the Secrets of Josquin
- David Thomson on Movies’ Poetic Desire
- Poetry from Henri Cole, Chaim Nachman Bialik, and Paul Muldoon
- Leon Wieseltier (editor) asks "Where Are the Americans?”
- And Celeste Marcus (managing editor) writes for a Pluralistic Heart.
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
