Summary

In this foundational work of literary theory, the nature of tragedy and epic poetry is dissected to understand how art imitates life. Aristotle introduces key concepts such as mimesis, catharsis, and the importance of plot structure over character. He analyzes the emotional impact of drama, arguing that tragedy effects a purgation of pity and fear through the representation of serious actions. The text serves as a guide for critics and playwrights, defining the standards of aesthetic excellence in storytelling.

    In 1899, Deneys Reitz, then aged seventeen, enlisted in the Boer army to fight the British. He had learnt to ride, shoot and swim almost as soon as he could walk. When he fought as a member several Boer commandos, he made full use of these skills and the endurance he acquired during the war.  
    He was involved in major actions, such as the Battle of Spion Kop, and he interacted with prominent political and military figures of the time, such as President Paul Kruger, Boer generals Piet Joubert, Louis Botha, Koos de la Rey, Christiaan Beyers, Jan Smuts and British commander Lord Kitchener.  
    Reitz forged a strong personal and political friendship with Smuts after the war, one built one reciprocal respect. 
    Commando is more than a historical document. With prose that captures both the brutality and the beauty of war, Reitz weaves a narrative that resonates with authenticity, transcending time. 
    As relevant today as when it was first penned, Commando has become a South African classic and stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.

    "I am Mathilde, alias Mathilda. I am 37 years old and I prostitute myself to be a free woman. I have been an executive assistant, a sales manager in media, a communication manager for an employers' confederation and a company director in business aviation. But I was a precarious woman, being used for a low price, like a great majority of women in France. In parallel to my work activities, I became an escort to get out of my social condition and not be a free and disposable object anymore. I have been leading this double life for 10 years in Lyon; and today men, but also women, respect me for what I am. I like this life and I embrace it fully."
    Like 5% to 10% prostitutes in France (and certainly many more), Mathilde engages in this profession freely and without constraint, to no longer be the prey of males and a patriarchal society. Free, authentic and without pretense, she takes the reader on a journey of discovery of a profession that fascinates and that no one talks about in this way. With a provocative but always human tone, she reveals with strength and fragility her non-conformist universe and her atypical personality. From her family to her friends, from her lovers to her clients, from her jobs to her first trick, Mathilde shares her way of life openly because her reality does not need to be hidden.

    John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States as President and the country's youngest and first Catholic leader. His singularity foreshadowed a sort of challenge to his presidency from the start. Many people were taken aback by his assassination. It was the height of the Cold War and the United States' involvement in Vietnam. John F. Kennedy was elected President on January 20, 1961, by a razor-thin margin of 113,000 votes out of 69 million against his Republican opponent, Richard Nixon2. He was almost immediately confronted with the Cuban missile crisis, which he handled carefully, allowing him to defuse tensions and avert war. This immediately helped to establish a new image for him, which is still held in high regard today.  
    On November 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, President of the United States of America, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Since nearly 50 years after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, much speculation, theory, and movement have existed. The only remaining mystery from the previous century appears to be this one.
