Sinopse

Aesop's Fables is a timeless collection of moral tales attributed to the ancient Greek storyteller Aesop. The work features a diverse array of characters, primarily anthropomorphic animals, who embody human vices and virtues. Employing a succinct and accessible style, these fables often culminate in a pithy moral lesson, encapsulating profound truths that resonate across cultures and historical epochs. The narrative simplicity belies the complexity of the ethical quandaries presented, reflecting the societal values of ancient Greece while remaining relevant today in varied contexts of education and personal growth. Aesop, whose life remains shrouded in mystery, is believed to have lived around the 6th century BCE. Traditionally viewed as a slave who acquired wisdom through his observations of the world, Aesop's experiences likely informed his fables, allowing him to convey moral lessons relatable to both the oppressed and the privileged. The enduring nature of these narratives speaks to Aesop's remarkable ability to distill human experience into succinct wisdom, making his work an essential part of literary heritage. Readers seeking both entertainment and moral reflection will find Aesop's Fables an invaluable resource. The fables not only entertain children but also serve as a rich pedagogical tool for adults. Each fable invites readers to contemplate their own ethical dilemmas, making it a quintessential read for anyone interested in morality, literature, or the human condition.

    The storm had been brewing for weeks.
    When I look back and remember those days of dripping rain, the thick grey cloud blanketing the sky, the rolling thunder, I wonder how we didn't see it coming. We didn't realise it was building into something.
    Back then, we just thought it was stormy weather. We had no idea what lay ahead.
    We couldn't ever have imagined how it would engulf us.
    Mali, Jonesey, Fara and Petey are reluctantly gathered in the library. They're not friends and they each have reasons they don't want to be there. As the rain starts, they do not bond as a group. Mali does not engage, Jonesy takes offence, Petey ridicules the others, Fara is silent, and their teacher Ms Devine is distracted. Outside, the bad weather steadily worsens. Soon they are trapped in the school, and pulling together may be the only way out when the storm begins.

    A detailed chronicle of the career of the late 1800s trailblazing investigative reporter, Nellie Bly. A letter to the Editor of The Pittsburgh Dispatch turned into a position of journalist with the paper. She tackled tough societal issues, unheard of from woman in those days. However, the businesses she exposed threatened to pull advertising, so she was moved to cover topics deemed more appropriate for a woman. She ultimately became a freelance journalist and later moved to New York and worked as an investigative reporter for New York World, often going undercover, or as it was called then, being a "stunt reporter". She also reported on her 72-day trip around the world. The biography details her marriage to a business tycoon, her time as President of the company and her ultimate return to journalism. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Bly's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
