Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) continues to fascinate even today, more than 200 years after his death. His legacy is shown in beautiful paintings.
He was an unrivalled general, although he did make occasional mistakes both on the tactical and the strategic level  -the most significant was his attack on Russia, which annihilated most of his Grande Armée and led to his downfall.
Napoleon institutionalized plunder and destruction in a way mostly only known by more primitive invaders. Both he and his generals and soldiers stole incredible amounts of cultural property and wantonly destroyed much more
Napoleon did leave some durable institutions on which modern France is built up, including the Napoleonic Code, the judicial system, the central bank and the country's financial organization, military academies, and a centralized university. 

We hope the readers will enjoy our selection and the activity. We hope it will contribute to a better understanding of Napoleon, his time and of art itself.

    Waterloo by Thomas E. Watson delivers a gripping and sharply analytical account of one of history’s most consequential battles. Far from a mere retelling of Napoleon’s final defeat, Watson dissects the clashing egos, failed communications, and fog of war that shaped the campaign’s chaotic conclusion. With a keen eye for contradiction and character, the book reveals the human flaws behind the mythic figures—Napoleon, Wellington, and Blücher—and challenges the often-simplified legacy of Waterloo. 
    Originally written in the early 20th century, this work explores the complex realities behind battlefield decisions, the unraveling of Napoleon’s leadership, and the power of perception in shaping historical truth. A must-listen for history buffs, military enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the interplay between fact, failure, and fate.

    Discover a Better Standard of Excellence 
     
     
     
    You're not good enough. How many of us internalize this belief before we even reach adulthood? How many of us feel unworthy and unable to live up to what seem like impossible-yet-completely-arbitrary standards? Where do these toxic beliefs about ourselves come from? And who told us there is a way we are "supposed" to be anyway? 
     
     
     
    With passion and compassion, Caroline J. Sumlin reveals the force that keeps all of us, whether we are part of a marginalized group or not, from freely expressing who we are as image bearers of God: white supremacy culture. Sharing her own story, she helps you see the wide-ranging effects of living in a culture of white supremacy. She identifies the damaging beliefs we internalize from our very earliest days and shows us how to find clarity and freedom as we dismantle the oppressive structures that hem us in and force us to conform. 
     
     
     
    If you have struggled with perfectionism, self-doubt, unworthiness, or the unrelenting pressure to pursue someone else's version of "success," you will find here the tools you need to silence the voices that seek to keep you down and to value yourself as never before.

    Ludwig Wittgenstein, one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century, profoundly shaped modern thought, particularly in the realms of language, logic, and the philosophy of mind. His philosophy spans two distinct periods, marked by an evolution in his views on the relationship between language, meaning, and reality. Wittgenstein’s work challenges the way we think about and use language, positing that philosophical problems often arise from misunderstandings of language and its limitations. 
    Wittgenstein’s early philosophy, as presented in his landmark work Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, was grounded in the belief that language could mirror the structure of reality. According to his "picture theory of meaning," words and sentences are pictures that represent facts in the world. He argued that the limits of language are also the limits of the world, and anything that could not be meaningfully expressed through language was simply beyond the scope of philosophy. This view led him to conclude that many traditional philosophical problems were nonsensical, arising from a misuse of language. 
    However, Wittgenstein underwent a significant philosophical transformation after his work on the Tractatus, largely due to his dissatisfaction with the results of his early approach. By the time of his later work, particularly in Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein had rejected the picture theory of meaning and developed the concept of "language games." He argued that meaning is not inherent in words themselves but is derived from their use in various social contexts. Language, for Wittgenstein, is a tool embedded in human practices and activities. He claimed that understanding language requires understanding the ways it functions in specific contexts, challenging the idea of a fixed, underlying structure of meaning.

    Why did the Biden White House celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday? Why is the bureaucracy prioritizing electric vehicles and less reliable forms of energy when Americans struggle to pay the bills amid historic inflation and higher gas prices? 
     
     
     
    America's bureaucrats appear to live on a different planet from the working class in this country, and that's no accident. The Woketopus explains how America's elites are pulling the strings in Washington to prioritize their pet projects over the needs of the American people. O'Neil's prose reveals how the left's NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government. 
     
     
     
    Discover how the donors who helped prop up the anti-Israel protests on college campuses are impacting policy in Washington; pull back the curtain on how federal agencies became engines of cultural change; and find out how the Left's dark money influences federal law enforcement to demonize conservatives in an attempt to silence anyone who wants to criticize this agenda.
