Sinossi

In "The Horrors of Slavery in America," the Work Projects Administration presents a poignant and unflinching documentation of the brutal realities faced by enslaved individuals in the antebellum United States. This comprehensive compilation encompasses firsthand narratives, historical accounts, and vivid testimonials, skillfully employing a blend of oral histories and archival research to paint a harrowing picture of the inhumanity of slavery. The literary style is grounded in realism, utilizing rich, evocative language that immerses readers in the lived experiences of those who endured servitude and oppression, positioned within the broader socio-political context of 20th-century America. The Work Projects Administration (WPA), established during the New Deal, aimed to provide jobs and stimulate the economy through the arts and humanities. Through this project, American writers and historians, compelled by the ethical urgency of documenting marginalized voices, sought to confront the legacy of slavery and its lingering impact on American society. Their commitment to preserving these stories reflects a crucial moment in American history and literature, where rediscovered histories were brought to the fore. This book is essential for readers interested in American history, social justice, and the complex narratives surrounding slavery. It serves as both an educational resource and a powerful statement against the atrocities of the past, encouraging a deep reflection on the enduring scars of slavery in contemporary society.

    Young Prince Thomas is a spoilt brat.  
      
    As punishment for his behavior he is sold to the cruel Earl to cook and clean and be his loyal servant. 
      
    But to remain anonymous—and teach him a lesson—he is cursed... he must endure servitude as the beautiful, petite and buxom Belle. She finds out the Earl has gained his ravenous reputation because he has been cursed as well—turned into a half-beast of a man. 
      
    What you’ve heard is a myth. It isn’t true love’s kiss which breaks curses—it takes something much more powerful. Like some good, hard thrusting. 
      
    But will Belle want to be “cured”?

    The Iran Nuclear Deal -...

    Iran's nuclear program has long been a subject of intense global scrutiny and diplomatic tension. Since the 1970s, the country has pursued the development of nuclear technology, initially for peaceful purposes, but concerns about its potential military ambitions escalated over time. As the international community grappled with Iran's nuclear ambitions, the central question was whether Tehran sought to develop nuclear weapons or maintain its program solely for civilian use. This uncertainty fueled widespread fear, particularly among Western powers and regional rivals like Israel, who viewed a nuclear-armed Iran as a direct threat to regional stability and global security. 
    The United States, along with its allies, pursued a variety of diplomatic efforts and imposed harsh economic sanctions in response to Iran’s nuclear activities. These sanctions targeted key sectors of Iran’s economy, including its oil exports and banking system, and were intended to pressure the Iranian government into compliance with international demands for greater transparency and restrictions on its nuclear program. Despite these measures, Iran's leadership remained defiant, and negotiations over the future of the nuclear program became increasingly complex. 
      
    The culmination of years of diplomatic maneuvering was the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a landmark agreement reached in 2015 between Iran and six major world powers—the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, and Germany. The deal promised to significantly limit Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. The JCPOA was heralded as a major achievement in international diplomacy, seen as a model for how nations could come together to resolve contentious issues through negotiation rather than military confrontation.
