Sinopse

'The Books of Chinese Wisdom' presents a rich tapestry of philosophical thought and strategic insights that have shaped not only Eastern philosophy but also imparted wisdom to the global intellect. The anthology spans an array of literary styles, from the aphoristic pearls of Confucian ethics to the stratagems of Sun Tzu's military genius, all woven into the narrative fabric of ancient Chinese discourse. The collection, enhanced by both attributed and anonymous works, represents a spectrum of historical epochs, each piece resonating with the timeless appeal of understanding life's complexities. Notable are the philosophical treatises and the articulate translations that bring forth the subtleties of Eastern wisdom to the Western mind. The compendium benefits immensely from the diverse backgrounds of its authors and editors, each a luminary in their respective realms—be it philosophy, military strategy, or sinology. These contributors collectively illuminate the thematic cores of morality, governance, and strategy, aligning with Confucian and Taoist thought streams, as well as practical military philosophies. The anthology serves as a confluence where historical narratives and cultural dialogs meld, providing a comprehensive understanding of ancient Chinese ideologies and their persistent relevance in contemporary discourse. 'The Books of Chinese Wisdom' is an essential read for scholars, strategists, and anyone intrigued by the profundity of ancient Chinese culture. It offers a unique opportunity to explore diverse philosophical landscapes through a single, cohesive volume. The collection not only educates but also enriches one's perspective, encouraging a deep engagement with ideas that have sustained over millennia. This anthology promises to be a cornerstone for those who wish to delve into the depths of Eastern thought and its influence on universal wisdom.

    A gripping true story of wartime espionage. 
     
     
     
    Dundee, 1937. When housewife Mary Curran became suspicious of hairdresser Jessie Jordan's frequent trips to Nazi Germany, she had no idea that she was about to be drawn into an international web of espionage. Thanks to a tip off from Mary, MI5 and the FBI launched major spy hunts on both sides of the Atlantic. 
     
     
     
    This is the true story of a decade-long series of Nazi espionage plots in Britain, Europe, and the United States. It shows how a Nazi spy's letter, posted in New York and intercepted in Scotland, broke spy rings across Europe and North America. And it reveals, for the first time, how that letter marked the genesis of an intelligence and security alliance that today includes the United States, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

    In April 1945, German troops withdrawing from the Seelow Heights were encircled by the Soviet Army near the small town of Halbe, south-east of Berlin. Rather than surrender, their orders were to attempt to break out, westward, and join up with the German twelfth Army. A brutal battle ensued, with an estimated 30,000 German and 20,000 Russian soldiers killed, along with thousands of civilians. 
     
     
     
    This collection of first-hand accounts tells the story of the battle and its aftermath from the German perspective. It is an eclectic mix, containing the recollections of ordinary soldiers, SS-men and men of the Panzer Divisions, as well as civilians caught up in the battle as they attempted to flee ahead of the advancing armies. It brings to life the grim realities of this one-sided engagement, revealing the brutal vengeance of the Soviets and the desperation to escape the slaughter. 
     
     
     
    Translated into English for the first time, this is an important insight into this devastating and little-known aspect of World War II history.

    To most people in the West, particularly the youth, the mere mention of Japan immediately evokes various images. A delectable rainbow of sushi, hand-rolled temaki, and platters of crispy, golden-brown tempura. An idyllic, crystal-clear lake flanked by trees covered with delicate, cotton-candy-pink sakura blossoms. A montage of unique, hand-drawn cartoons that are a masterful mix of delightfully exaggerated proportions, features, and colors, and elements of arresting realism, collectively known as “anime.”  
    Ninjas are, without a doubt, one of the most timeless and far-reaching cultural staples ever to emerge from Japan. They have become a global phenomenon, and there are countless depictions of ninjas in comic books, films, TV shows, video games, toys, and other forms of popular culture around the world, not to mention their continued relevance as a “conventional” go-to Halloween costume. Kids across the world are intimately familiar with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Snake Eyes from the G.I. Joe franchise, Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, and Black Noir from The Boys. Ninjas have also been featured in a slew of other international movies and TV shows, among them the 1986 Filipino film The Legend of Ninja-Kol, the 2010 Norwegian film Norwegian Ninja, the 1982 Turkish film Holy Sword, and the 2002 New Zealand film Tongan Ninja. 
    Similarly, the samurai are among the most iconic warriors in history. The fighting elite of feudal Japan, they have played a dominant role in the country's life for over a thousand years. Even today, a century and a half after the rule of the samurai has formally ended, they remain a powerful symbol of martial might, and the embodiment of the stoic warrior.
