Sinopse

'The History of the Lost Pirate Kingdom' is an avant-garde anthology that delves into the fascinating and tumultuous world of piracy during its golden age. With a riveting mix of historical accounts, biographical sketches, and gripping narratives, the collection bridges the realms of history and mythology. The works vary widely in style, from journalistic meticulousness to rich, narrative-driven prose. This blend not only captivates but also enlightens, offering a panoramic view into the pirate ethos and its impact on maritime lore, underscored by notorious tales thick with adventure and intrigue. The contributing authors, Captain Charles Johnson, Charles Ellms, and Daniel Defoe, each bring a distinct historical and literary pedigree that collectively enriches this compilation. Johnson's detailed logs, Ellms' sensational accounts, and Defoe's journalistic precision converge to form a compendium that is as academic as it is thrilling. These authors' backgrounds in chronicling the lives of pirates and their adventures provide a robust foundation for understanding the socio-political and cultural narratives that influenced contemporary and subsequent perceptions of piracy. 'The History of the Lost Pirate Kingdom' is recommended for enthusiasts of history, maritime adventures, and literary richness. It presents a unique opportunity to explore an array of perspectives on pirate life, offering deep educational value and broad insights. Readers are invited to traverse through a journey that is as enlightening as it is entertaining, fostering a greater appreciation of how historical narratives are shaped by diverse voices.

    Listen as Bo Peabody, author of "Lucky or Smart?" and entrepreneur extraordinaire, discuss the businesses he started, how he was able to make them successful, and the place that intelligence, hard work and a little bit of good fortune have in the process. As Bo explains: “My formula for getting lucky in business is reasonably simple: Start a company that fundamentally innovative, morally compelling, and philosophically positive. Create and aura of authenticity around your start-up by carefully crafting your mission and communicating it with charisma and passion. Our company will quickly attract smart, inspired people who will work very hard. Treat all these people fairly. Provide them with a clear action plan and give them the latitude to exercise their creativity. The result: serendipity, luck, success, and, ultimately, money. And the only smart thing about this formula is that I understand that on a day-to-day basis my brain has very little to do with any of it.”

    What if the strength that once protected you is now the barrier between you and the life you crave? 
    You’ve been the strong one for as long as you can remember; holding it all together, staying in control, surviving what others didn’t even see. But something inside is stirring: a quiet knowing, a longing for softness, wholeness, and the truth of who you really are. 
    In Under the Armor: The Courage to Surrender, author and mentor Candice Knight shares a vulnerable, wisdom-filled journey of letting go, of roles, identities, and relationships that no longer aligned. After a 20-year teaching career, the end of a tumultuous marriage, and years of exhaustion, she made a radical decision: to stop performing strength and start living in truth.

Through candid storytelling and soul-stirring reflections, you’ll be invited to:Release perfectionism and pressure so you can breathe againReclaim your identity beyond divorce, burnout, or motherhoodSurrender control while standing in your powerHeal past wounds and open your heart to what’s nextBegin again... anchored, clear, and unapologetically whole 
    “I thought the armor was my strength, until I realized it was keeping me from love, from softness, from myself.” 
    If you’re standing in the messy, beautiful in-between, no longer who you were, not yet who you’re becoming, Under the Armor is your companion. 
    Buy now and begin your journey back to your most courageous, soft, soul-led self.

    This program is read by the author."As a mature observer of the human condition, Marsh has audible serenity that makes listeners curious about how his story ends." - AudioFile MagazineFrom the bestselling neurosurgeon and author of Do No Harm, comes Henry Marsh's And Finally, an unflinching and deeply personal exploration of death, life and neuroscience.As a retired brain surgeon, Henry Marsh thought he understood illness, but he was unprepared for the impact of his diagnosis of advanced cancer. And Finally explores what happens when someone who has spent a lifetime on the frontline of life and death finds himself contemplating what might be his own death sentence.As he navigates the bewildering transition from doctor to patient, he is haunted by past failures and projects yet to be completed, and frustrated by the inconveniences of illness and old age. But he is also more entranced than ever by the mysteries of science and the brain, the beauty of the natural world and his love for his family. Elegiac, candid, luminous and poignant, And Finally is ultimately not so much an audiobook about death, but an audiobook about life and what matters in the end.

    'I entered Goldenbridge orphanage in my Communion outfit. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing there.'At age seven, Bernadette Fahy was delivered with her three brothers to Goldenbridge Orphanage. She was to stay there until she was sixteen.
    Goldenbridge has come to represent some of the worst aspects of childrearing practices in Ireland of the 1950s and 1960s. Seen as the offspring of people who had strayed from social respectability and religious standards, these children were made to pay for the 'sins' of their parents. Bernadette tells of the pain, fear, hunger, hard labour and isolation experienced in the orphanage.
    Can a person recover from such a childhood? How does the spirit ever take flight -- and gain the 'freedom of angels'?
    This is Bernadette Fahy's concern. Now trained and working as a counsellor, she has had to dig deeply into her past to understand the patterns laid down by her upbringing. She has had to rebuild her life, and now she helps others to do the same.
    This book is a story of triumph over the harshest of circumstances.
