Sinopse

Alexis de Tocqueville was a French nineteenth century political philosopher and historian. His landmark work ‘Democracy in America’ (1840) analyses the improved living standards and social conditions of individuals as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies. The treatise won Tocqueville an immediate reputation as an esteemed political scientist. In later years, he turned to the subject of the French Revolution and, after years of research, he published ‘The Old Regime and the Revolution’, exploring French society before the French Revolution, the so-called “Ancien Régime”, while investigating the forces that led to the 1789 Revolution. The book is now generally considered one of the major early historical works on the subject, which expands on Tocqueville’s main theory about the Revolution — the theory of continuity. This eBook presents Tocqueville’s collected (almost complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    In "The Price of Life," Abram Molodetsky tells a harrowing tale of a young Jewish boy's struggle to survive amidst the brutalities of war and genocide. The story follows Abram's journey from his innocent childhood in Odessa, Ukraine, to his experiences during the Holocaust. 
    As a child, Abram is full of wonder and curiosity, exploring the vibrant streets of his hometown. However, the cruel realities of anti-Semitic violence and discrimination slowly chip away at his innocence, leaving him with a deep sense of insecurity and fear. 
    When the Nazi invasion of Ukraine begins, Abram and his family are forced to flee their home and embark on a treacherous journey of survival. Despite the unimaginable horrors he faces, Abram remains steadfast in his determination to protect his loved ones and overcome the atrocities of war. 
    Through his resourcefulness and courage, Abram is able to outsmart the Nazis and ensure the survival of his family. Molodetsky's writing is both raw and compassionate, evoking a sense of empathy and understanding for the unimaginable suffering endured by those who lived through the Holocaust. 
    "The Price of Life" serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of war and genocide on individuals and communities alike. Abram's story is a testament to the resilience and indomitable spirit of the human will, even in the face of the darkest and most unimaginable of circumstances.

    Subtle Abuse - Indirect Forms of...

    Subtle abuse is a form of psychological harm that often goes unnoticed, yet its effects can be just as damaging as more overt forms of mistreatment. Unlike physical abuse, which leaves visible marks, or direct verbal abuse, which is easier to identify, subtle abuse operates in the shadows, disguised as normal behavior, misunderstandings, or even acts of care. This makes it particularly dangerous because victims may not recognize it until significant emotional and psychological damage has already occurred. 
    At its core, subtle abuse is about control, manipulation, and emotional harm inflicted in ways that are difficult to detect. It can take many forms, including gaslighting, passive-aggressive behavior, emotional withholding, and undermining someone’s confidence in indirect ways. A common characteristic of subtle abuse is its plausibility—it often leaves victims doubting their own experiences and questioning whether they are simply overreacting. Because the harm is delivered in small, often deniable doses, victims may struggle to explain their distress to others, further isolating them in their experience. 
    One of the most insidious aspects of subtle abuse is its ability to erode a person’s sense of self over time. The victim may start to feel insecure, anxious, or even incapable, not realizing that their mental state has been shaped by constant, indirect put-downs or the gradual withholding of emotional support. For example, a partner who consistently dismisses concerns with phrases like “You’re too sensitive” or “I was just joking” may be engaging in subtle emotional abuse by invalidating the other person’s feelings. Similarly, a boss who subtly undermines an employee’s work without overt criticism may be manipulating them into self-doubt and compliance.

    “The Real Lolita is a tour de force of literary detective work. Not only does it shed new light on the terrifying true saga that influenced Nabokov’s masterpiece, it restores the forgotten victim to our consciousness.” —David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon 
    Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita is one of the most beloved and notorious novels of all time. And yet, very few of its readers know that the subject of the novel was inspired by a real-life case: the 1948 abduction of eleven-year-old Sally Horner. 
    Weaving together suspenseful crime narrative, cultural and social history, and literary investigation, The Real Lolita tells Sally Horner’s full story for the very first time. Drawing upon extensive investigations, legal documents, public records, and interviews with remaining relatives, Sarah Weinman uncovers how much Nabokov knew of the Sally Horner case and the efforts he took to disguise that knowledge during the process of writing and publishing Lolita. 
    Sally Horner’s story echoes the stories of countless girls and women who never had the chance to speak for themselves. By diving deeper in the publication history of Lolita and restoring Sally to her rightful place in the lore of the novel’s creation, The Real Lolita casts a new light on the dark inspiration for a modern classic.
