Sinossi

In "Phineas Finn," Anthony Trollope crafts a masterful exploration of political ambition within the context of 19th-century British society. The novel follows the eponymous character, an Irishman with dreams of advancing in Parliament, as he navigates the complexities of politics, relationships, and personal integrity. Trollope's narrative style is characterized by incisive social commentary and a keen psychological understanding of his characters, enabling readers to perceive the intricate interplay between personal aspirations and societal expectations. The book is both a vivid depiction of parliamentary life and an astute critique of the class disparities inherent in the contemporary political landscape. Anthony Trollope, one of the most prolific novelists of his time, brings his personal experiences in the British postal service and his keen observations of the political arena to this work. His familiarity with the inner workings of Parliament, coupled with a profound empathy for his characters, informs the rich and relatable struggles faced by Phineas Finn. Trollope's own political engagements and a nuanced understanding of the societal constraints of his era fuel the narrative's depth and authenticity. "Phineas Finn" is a compelling read for those interested in the intersections of politics, identity, and morality. Its themes remain relevant today, providing modern readers with insight into the timeless dilemmas of ambition and ethics in public life. Ideal for both literary scholars and casual readers, Trollope's novel invites reflection on the nature of power and the sacrifices made in its pursuit.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    If you’ve ever wondered how a relationship that once felt so right turned into something so painful, we have something in common. 
    I know the cycle intimately—the intense highs, the soul-crushing lows, the confusion that makes you question your own sanity. I lived it for over a decade. What started as love became fear, control, and emotional destruction. It wasn’t always obvious; it crept in. 
    This book walks you through the six stages of a narcissistic relationship — from idealization to discard and hoovering — with compassion, clarity, and lived experience. You’ll learn what these patterns look like, why they’re so hard to escape, and most importantly, that you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. 
    This isn’t theory — it’s survival turned insight. 
    This audiobook is also the first in a full series exploring the hidden pain points of being with a narcissist — gaslighting, triangulation, comparison, self-blame, obsession, and letting go. Each one is designed to meet you where you are and gently walk you toward truth, validation, and emotional freedom. 
    Whether you’re still in the relationship, just out, or still aching from the aftermath, I hope these words bring comfort — and a few of those powerful “oh my god, it wasn’t just me” moments. 
    You deserve peace. Maybe this is the starting point.

    The Burma Wars - 1824-1886

    Between 1824 and 1885 Britain and Burma fought in three deadly struggles. 
     
     
     
    The first was the longest and most expensive war in British Indian history, the second was criticized at the time as being caused by gunboat diplomacy, and the third led to the removal of Burma's Konbaung dynasty and the incorporation of Burma into the British Raj. 
     
     
     
    These wars were fraught with military blunders and incompetence. 
     
     
     
    Why did the tensions arise initially and how did the first battles begin? How were Burmese forces able to resist the powerful armaments of their opponents for so long? And what were the implications of this controversial war for the British? 
     
     
     
    The Burma Wars: 1824–1886 uses a vast assortment of contemporary sources to build up a vivid picture of the clashes, highlighting the courage and perseverance of the men who fought for both sides in difficult conditions. 
     
     
     
    The Times described Bruce's books as "well researched, with a keen eye for historical detail." 
     
     
     
    The Burma Wars: 1824–1886 is a brilliant account of one of the conflicts that led to the formation of the British Empire. It is part of the series Conflicts of Empire, which also includes Retreat from Kabul and Six Battles for India.

    AI isn't just changing how we work; it's changing who holds power. 
    I didn't see that at first. When I fell in love with AI, I thought I'd simply found the perfect writing partner. Like millions of others, I jumped in without really understanding what I was getting into, using it daily, depending on it, unable to explain what it actually was. 
    Maybe your story is similar. Maybe you're still deciding whether to jump in at all. Either way, I have a feeling we all share the same mix of possibility and... something else. 
    That uneasy feeling led to a startling realisation: AI has agency. It acts, decides, shapes outcomes. Which made me ask, did I still have any? Or had I handed mine over without even noticing? 
    As a community engagement specialist, I'd spent my career helping people reclaim power in systems designed without them. The irony wasn't lost on me. Meanwhile, headlines were getting harder to ignore, everyone saying "get on board or get left behind," but no one explaining what we were actually boarding or what we might be giving up. 
    So, I set out on a journey to understand what I was seeing. That journey took me from microplastics to algorithms, from falling in love with AI to recognising familiar patterns of burden-shifting and power imbalances. If you're trying to make sense of what's happening without the tech jargon, this book is for you. 
    Our AI: My Journey, Your Invitation, Our Future is a wake-up call disguised as a love story, a guide for spotting the patterns, asking better questions, and finding your voice in conversations that are shaping our future, with or without us. 
    AI is here whether we like it or not. The question is: on whose terms?

    America's decision to go to war in Iraq in 2003 is arguably the most important foreign policy choice of the entire post–Cold War era. Nearly two decades after the event, it remains central to understanding current international politics and US foreign relations. 
     
     
     
    In Confronting Saddam Hussein, the eminent historian of US foreign policy Melvyn P. Leffler analyzes why the US chose war and who was most responsible for the decision. Employing a unique set of personal interviews with dozens of top officials and declassified American and British documents, Leffler vividly portrays the emotions and anxieties that shaped the thinking of the president after the shocking events of 9/11. He shows how fear, hubris, and power influenced Bush's approach to Saddam Hussein's Iraq. At the core of Leffler's account is his compelling portrait of Saddam Hussein. Rather than stressing Bush's preoccupation with promoting freedom or democracy, Leffler emphasizes Hussein's brutality, opportunism, and unpredictability and illuminates how the Iraqi dictator's record of aggression and intransigence haunted the president and influenced his calculations. Throughout, Leffler highlights the harrowing anxieties surrounding the decision-making process after the devastating attack on 9/11 and explains the roles of contingency, agency, rationality, and emotion.
