Sinossi

Anatole France began his career as a poet and a journalist. Le Parnasse Contemporain published one of his poems, La Part de Madeleine.  He sat on the committee which was in charge of the third Parnasse Contemporain compilation. He moved Paul Verlaine and Mallarmé aside of this Parnasse. As a journalist, from 1867, he wrote a lot of articles and notices. He became famous with the novel Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard. Its protagonist, skeptical old scholar Sylvester Bonnard, embodied France's own personality. The novel was praised for its elegant prose and won him a prize from the French Academy. Masterful and poignant blending of religious and occult mysticism.  Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1921 "in recognition of his brilliant literary achievements, characterized as they are by a nobility of style, a profound human sympathy, grace, and a true Gallic temperament." Anatole France began his career as a poet and a journalist. In 1922, France's entire works were put on the Prohibited Books Index of the Roman Catholic Church.

    Health Revelations from Heaven...

    Tommy Rosa, Stephen T. Sinatra MD

    Fifteen years ago, Bronx-born plumber Tommy Rosa died in a hit-and-run incident. Lying by the road, he felt a tug whisking him off into a tunnel of light to meet his divine teacher in heaven. After several weeks in a coma, Tommy returned to earth to walk again with a heightened sense of connection to one and all. 
    Around the same time, Dr. Stephen Sinatra, an integrative cardiologist, was dismantling the prevailing ideas of preventive pharmacology with his holistic approach to treatment. In their first encounter, Tommy got the intuitive message that Dr. Sinatra had an infection in his hip. Tommy’s insight confirmed Dr. Sinatra’s own suspicion. When Tommy shared with Dr. Sinatra the divine revelations of healing that he had learned, Dr. Sinatra was shocked—the keys to solving the imbalance of energy that he had identified as the cause of most chronic illnesses were the same as those Tommy was relating. 
    From this intersection of the divine and the scientific, Tommy Rosa and Dr. Sinatra began writing a prescriptive guide for healthy living. In Health Revelations from Heaven and Earth, Tommy Rosa reveals the eight revelations, gleaned from God, that will lead you toward revitalized health, a newfound sense of purpose, and spiritual balance—fully corroborated by Dr. Sinatra’s four decades of medical expertise—bringing heaven and earth a little bit closer.

    "Bare Knuckle Boxing - The Truth, The Blood & The Tears" by Stu Armstrong is a raw and unfiltered look into the gritty world of bare-knuckle boxing, a sport that has exploded in popularity in recent years. Armstrong, having worked directly within the sport, offers readers an insider's view of its controversies, including dirty tricks and hidden secrets that have long remained out of public view. 
    Bare-knuckle boxing, often considered the purest form of pugilism, strips away the gloves and the formalities of traditional boxing, leaving behind an intense and primal combat experience. Armstrong aims to lift the veil on the sport's inner workings, revealing both the brutal reality and the passion that fuels its fighters. 
    This book is poised to challenge perceptions and present the sport in a light that is both brutally honest and potentially shocking. If you're ready for the raw truth behind the blood and tears of bare-knuckle boxing, this is the book that delivers.

    'I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.'
    
    First published in 1901, Up From Slavery is Booker T. Washington's powerful memoir, recounting his journey from enslavement to becoming a leading educator and advocate for Black progress.
    
    Born into slavery in the American South, Washington recalls his rise to becoming a founder of the Tuskegee Institute and subsequently a national leader in educational rights and race relations. Movingly sharing his struggles for education, belief in hard work and self-reliance, Washington – through his affecting story – argues that economic empowerment is key to improving the lives of African Americans. Often regarded as one of the best non-fiction books of the twentieth century, Up From Slavery is a profound tale of perseverance and a valuable insight into the social challenges of post-Civil War America. This audiobook edition is beautifully read by Greg Lockett.
    Booker T. Washington (1856 – 1915) was an American author, educator and orator. Born into slavery, Washington was freed during the Civil War and soon became leader of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, one of the first colleges for Black higher education. He was a dominant voice for Black rights in politics, and became the first Black person to publicly meet with the president on equal terms.

    Whether trading one-liners at RADA with Ralph Richardson, shooting the breeze with Clint Eastwood, acting in Edwardian comedy with Rex Harrison or dodging fights with Sid Vicious, Edward Tudor Pole has proved himself equal to many a challenge.
    In a series of amusing, nostalgic and sometimes outrageous stories, told with candour and wit, Tudor Pole recounts his fascinating youth pre-punk and his time with the Sex Pistols, writing 'Who Killed Bambi' with Vivienne Westwood for them before fronting 80s punk band Tenpole Tudor and playing with the Clash and the Ramones. When the group eventually imploded Tudor Pole ran away from rock & roll and joined the theatre, appearing in West End shows and numerous films including Sid & Nancy, Absolute Beginners and an 'appearance' in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
    But finding the life of an actor ever more intolerable - and after a stint presenting The Crystal Maze - Tudor Pole returned to his calling as a full-time singer and guitarist and he has been touring ever since.
    The Pen is Mightier tells of how a troubled start can lead to a happy ending. Tudor Pole writes a fast-paced account of a life spent exploring every avenue of show business before finding out where he belongs.
