Sinopse

The Eagle and the ShadowA Novel by Miguel Santiago
 
Rome casts a long shadow. Not all who march beneath it return unchanged.
 
Centurion Publius Sertorius has survived more campaigns than he can count, but nothing prepares him for the brutality—and the moral cost—of Caesar’s war in Gaul. In the mud, forests, and blood-soaked rivers of the frontier, he leads men into battles history will remember… and through choices it will never record.
 
Alongside him, Marcus—a young recruit confronting his first taste of war—and Quintus—a Gallic-born Roman torn between two worlds—must face not only the enemy in front of them, but the darker battles within.
 
From the icy Alps to the thunder of Germanic drums along the Rhine, The Eagle and the Shadow is a sweeping, visceral journey into the heart of conquest, loyalty, and loss.
 
Not all wars are won with swords. Some are survived. Others haunt forever.

Soap Magic Part 5 - A Porn Shoot...

Kathrin Pissinger

Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
Well, this went well, didn't it? So let's just go down the list and visit some more old schoolmates. Luckily, they aren't too hard to find, thanks to the magic of internet porn sites. And isn't it interesting the stuff you can find there? Time to go and get a private shoot with soap. 
Right. I'm not sure it can get any steamier, but I'm certainly going to try. Which is to say, there's getting served in every hole and quite possibly some smattering of pee play and domination thrown into the mix, just for good measure. And soap.

When The Band Played On - The...

Michael G. Lee

Randy Shilts was the preeminent LGBTQ+ reporter of his generation. 
 
 
 
He was the first openly gay reporter assigned to a gay beat at a mainstream paper and one of the nation's most influential chroniclers of gay history, politics, and culture. Shilts wrote three seminal works on the community: The Mayor of Castro Street, on the life, assassination, and legacy of Harvey Milk; And the Band Played On, detailing the failure of politics as usual during the early AIDS epidemic; and Conduct Unbecoming, a history of the US military's mistreatment of LGBTQ service members. 
 
  
 
Yet the intimate life story of Randy Shilts has been left unwritten. When the Band Played On tells that story, recognizing his legacy as a trailblazing figure in gay activism, journalism, and public policy. 
 
 
 
The resulting narrative tells the tale of a singularly gifted voice, a talented yet insecure young man whose coming of age became intricately linked to the historic peaks and devastating perils of modern gay liberation. 
 
 
 
When the Band Played On is the authoritative account of Randy Shilts's trailblazing life, as well as his legacy of shaping the history-making events he covered.

The Theory of Social Revolutions

Brooks Adams

The Theory of Social Revolutions by Brooks Adams is a historical and analytical examination of the forces that drive major transformations within societies. Drawing on examples from history and political development, Adams explores how social, economic, and institutional pressures can accumulate over time and ultimately lead to periods of rapid and far-reaching change.

The work investigates the underlying causes of revolutionary movements, focusing on the interplay between power structures, economic concentration, political authority, and social unrest. Adams argues that revolutions are not isolated events but rather the outcome of long-developing conditions within a society's organization and distribution of power.

Through comparative historical analysis, the author examines how different civilizations have experienced cycles of stability and upheaval. He considers the roles of leadership, class structures, resource distribution, and institutional rigidity in shaping the likelihood and intensity of revolutionary change.

Themes of social transformation, political conflict, historical cycles, institutional breakdown, economic pressure, and collective action run throughout the work. Adams presents a broad theoretical framework aimed at understanding how and why societies undergo dramatic shifts in their structures and governing systems.

The Theory of Social Revolutions remains an important contribution to political and historical thought. Its wide-ranging analysis continues to offer readers insight into the complex forces that shape revolutionary change and the evolution of human societies over time.

Breakfast with the Scavengers

Ben Rhys Palmer

In Ben Rhys Palmer's joyful debut collection, discombobulated robots rub shoulders with philosophising hyenas, orangutan brides, Mesopotamian fish gods, and a psychotherapist from outer space.

A Welsh poet based in Mexico, his poems about Mexico capture the magic and vibrancy of a country André Breton once described as 'the most surrealist in the world.' Other poems pay homage to Welsh cult heroes John Cale and Adrian Street, and Ben's plucky ancestor, Rebecca Howells, who emigrated to Patagonia after her husband was killed in a mining explosion at Blaengwawr Colliery.

At once funny, tender, and beautifully bizarre, Breakfast with the Scavengers explores love, loss, loneliness, our never-ending quest for connection, and those blink-and-you-miss-them moments of transcendence that can light up our lives.
