The Ralph Waldo Emerson Collection

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Trust Thyself and Awaken the Divinity Within.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was the "Sage of Concord" and the intellectual father of the American Renaissance. At a time of rigid social and religious tradition, he issued a radical call for individual autonomy and a direct, unmediated relationship with the universe. This comprehensive collection brings together his most influential essays, lectures, and poetry, offering a timeless blueprint for living with purpose, integrity, and intellectual freedom.

This collection explores the pillars of Emerson's revolutionary thought:

The Gospel of Self-Reliance: Discover the classic arguments for non-conformity, intuition, and the courage to follow one's own internal compass against the tide of public opinion.

Nature as a Mirror of the Soul: Explore Emerson's profound belief that the natural world is a physical manifestation of the spiritual, serving as the ultimate teacher for those who know how to see.

The Concept of the Over-Soul: Delve into the metaphysical heart of Transcendentalism—the idea of a collective, divine unity that flows through all living things.

The Power of the Intellect and Art: Engage with his visions for a truly original American culture, urging scholars and creators to stop looking toward the past and begin building a new future.

Emerson's prose is characterized by its "radiant" energy and aphoristic brilliance. His work served as the catalyst for a new American identity, influencing figures from Henry David Thoreau to Walt Whitman. This volume is an essential cornerstone for any library of philosophy, spirituality, and classic American thought.

Soviet Union

Kelly Mass

From 1922 till 1991, the Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was a socialist state that covered Europe and Asia. It was in theory a federal union of different sovereign republics; but, till its closing years, its administration and economy were highly centralized.The Bolsheviks, led by Vladimir Lenin, ousted the Provisional Federal government that had formerly toppled the Russian Empire's Romanov family in the October Revolution of 1917, bring to life the Soviet Union. They established the Russian Soviet Republic, the world's first socialist state with a constitution. Stress between the Bolshevik Red Army and some anti-Bolshevik forces across the previous Empire emerged into a civil war, with the White Guard being the most effective faction. The White Horror was a period of violent anti-communist repression by the White Defend Against the Bolsheviks and believed worker and peasant Bolsheviks. Through Red Horror, the Red Army extended and helped regional Bolsheviks in acquiring power, building soviets, and penalizing political challengers and defiant peasants. By 1922, the power balance had moved, and the Bolsheviks had thrived, unifying the Russian, Transcaucasian, Ukrainian, and Byelorussian republics to form the Soviet Union. After the civil war ended, Lenin's administration carried out The New Economic Policy, which led to a partial return of the free enterprise and personal property, and also a period of financial healing.Joseph Stalin rose to power after Lenin's death in the year 1924. Within the Communist Party, Stalin got rid of any political resistance to his rule and developed a command economy. As a consequence, the nation went through a period of quick industrialization and pushed collectivization, which led to great financial development but also a manufactured starvation in the year 1932-- 1933 and the growth of the Gulag labor camp system.

The Ride - Paul Revere and the...

Kostya Kennedy

“Audiobook narrator Johnny Heller has a brisk, ardent manner, moving through events at a spirited trot, conveying the urgency and high stakes of Revere’s mission.”—The Washington PostTimed for the 250th anniversary of one of America’s most famous founding events: Paul Revere’s legendary ride, newly told with fresh research into little-known aspects of the story Americans have heard since childhood but hardly understoodOn April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on a borrowed horse to fulfill a dangerous but crucial mission: to alert American colonists of advancing British troops, which would seek to crush their nascent revolt.Revere was not the only rider that night, and indeed, he had completed at least 18 previous rides across New England and other colonies, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years to come—as the American Revolution morphed from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war—became one of our founding legends.In The Ride, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of April 18 and 19, 1775, informed by fresh primary and secondary source research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. Kennedy reveals Revere’s ride to be more complex than it is usually portrayed—a loosely coordinated series of rides by numerous men, near-disaster, capture by British forces, and finally success. While Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, Kennedy reveals the other men (and, perhaps, a woman with information about the movement of British forces) who helped to set in motion the events that would lead to America’s independence.Thrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, The Ride retells an essential American story for a new generation of listeners.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
