Synopsis

East communicates with West 1(In English, 2023).Prologue.Dutch historian Johan Huizinga (1872-1945) released \"The Autumn of the Middle Ages\" in 1919, offering profound insights into the medieval era and shedding light on its dark times. With a deep understanding of language, Huizinga becomes captivated by play and devotes himself to the study of games within the course of history. The medieval period is a beautiful sunset that occurs as darkness descends, symbolized by sunsets and moonlight. Culture emerges from play as a bud of the Renaissance. The ideal life rooted in the era of the red dusk consists of three paths. Firstly, it involves escaping from the mundane world, denying worldly pleasures absolutely. Secondly, it involves striving to change the world, ardently desiring a transformed society. Thirdly, it involves filling life with fantasy, living life as a game. The paths of escape and struggle are taken by a tiny minority, while fantasy is a journey that many can embark upon. The quality of fantasy is determined by accumulated knowledge and intellectual abilities. When the realm of fantasy is beneficial and enjoyable, it truly becomes genuine play. By doing something beneficial for oneself and others, one gains wealth and prosperity.

The Speeches of Marcus

Marcus Aurelius

In the echoes of ancient Rome, where the clang of swords met the whispers of philosophy, Marcus Aurelius stood as both ruler and sage. The Speeches of Marcus is not a mere collection of words, but a testament to a mind sculpted by discipline and tempered by duty. His voice, austere yet compassionate, resounds through the corridors of time, inviting the listener to ponder the nature of power, virtue, and the fragile thread that binds humanity.
With each measured phrase, Marcus does not seek to dazzle or dominate but to illuminate the path of reason and justice. His reflections, born from the battlefield and the senate, transcend the realm of politics and touch the core of the human soul. This work is not for the fleeting mind but for the seeker of truth, for those who dare to confront the impermanence of life and the inevitability of fate. 
The Speeches of Marcus is an invitation to stand beside the philosopher-emperor as he faces the storms of empire and the shadows of mortality. It is a timeless dialogue between the self and the world, where the echoes of wisdom guide us through the chaos of existence.

Traitor's Odyssey - The Untold...

Brendan McNally

'A delicious, gossipy and thoroughly engaging romp ... heartily recommended.' Tim Tate, author of Hitler's British Traitors and The Spy Who Was Left Out in the Cold
'A captivating page-turner ...' Helen Fry, author of Women in Intelligence


Ambassador's daughter, Nazi love interest, Soviet spy, FBI most wanted.

Accompanying her parents to Berlin in the 1930s, Martha Dodd knew almost nothing about Adolf Hitler or the Nazis. Yet almost overnight, she stepped into the spotlight, and found herself at the over-heated centre of Hitler's 'New Germany', befriending and dating several high-ranking Nazis, including the head of the Gestapo.

An affair with a dashing Russian diplomat saw her recruited as a spy, and so began a long and tumultuous career in both Berlin and America, including attempts to infiltrate First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's inner circle and playing a key role in Henry Wallace's disastrous 1948 presidential campaign.

Betrayed by a Hollywood-hustler-turned-double-agent, Martha spent years under deep FBI surveillance - escaping twice - and went to ground in Cold War Prague, sad, lonely, rich and bored, living out her final decades in a Communist Sunset Boulevard.

Largely forgotten, Martha Dodd began to emerge as an iconic historical figure in the early 2000s. While her scandalous behaviour and pro-Soviet leanings were never much in dispute, the actual matter of her guilt remained unresolved. Now, using recently released KGB archived information and FBI files, author and journalist Brendan McNally sets the record straight in Traitor's Odyssey, telling the full epic tale of Martha Dodd's life for the first time, casting her in a new and bright light.
