  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  She danced for kings, seduced generals, and died before a firing squad. But was Mata Hari really the master spy history claims she was? 
  In the glittering salons of Belle Époque Europe, she was known as the most exotic dancer of her generation—a mysterious Eastern princess who captivated audiences with sacred temple dances and seduced the continent's most powerful men. But behind the jeweled veils and Oriental mystique lay Margaretha Zelle, a desperate Dutch housewife who had reinvented herself so completely that she fooled an entire civilization. 
  The woman who became Mata Hari was: 
  • A failed marriage survivor who transformed tragedy into triumph 
  • An international celebrity who moved freely between enemy capitals 
  • The lover of military officers from Germany, France, and Russia 
  • A woman caught in the deadly web of World War I espionage 
  Now, more than a century later, newly discovered evidence reveals the shocking truth...

  Library of the World's Best...

  The Library of the World's Best Literature, Ancient and Modern, is a work of enormous proportions. Setting out with the simple goal of offering "American households a mass of good reading", the editors drew from literature of all times and all kinds what they considered the best pieces of human writing, and compiled an ambitious collection of 45 volumes (with a 46th being an index-guide). Besides the selection and translation of a huge number of poems, letters, short stories and sections of books, the collection offers, before each chapter, a short essay about the author or subject in question. In many cases, chapters contemplate not one author, but certain groups of works, organized by nationality, subject or period; there is, thus, a chapter on Accadian-Babylonian literature, one on the Holy Grail, and one on Chansons, for example.  
   
  The result is a collection that holds the interest, for the variety of subjects and forms, but also as a means of first contact with such famous and important authors that many people have heard of, but never read, such as Abelard, Dante or Lord Byron. According to the editor Charles Dudley Warner, this collection "is not a library of reference only, but a library to be read."   
   
  This first volume contains chapters from "Abelard" to "Amiel". (Summary by Leni)

  CONSCIOUS WEALTH: MONEY & INVESTING & A FINANCIAL AWAKENING FOR THE PERSON WHO HAS EVERYTHING by Brandon Hatton, CAP, CRCP, is for those who wake up one day and realize they have everything they always wanted and yet discover that it is not enough. Those with unlimited financial means are, ironically, often still operating from a place of scarcity. They are unaware of the negative stories they have built up around money and are unable to differentiate between being rich (having a lot of money) and being wealthy (having money but also a positive connection with self, with others, and with the bigger world). 
  Falling back on the lessons learned during his own journey, Brandon provides a clearly illustrated mindset around money and a framework around investments, both of which allows readers to focus on what matters most during their wealth creation journey. He helps others achieve not only stronger family communication and healthy personal interactions with money but also a desire and ability to impact the greater world through investments and a Conscious Wealth philosophy.

  This Penis Business - A Social...

  CIRCUMCISION CUTS THROUGH US ALL. In her eye-opening memoir, Georganne Chapin exposes the business of medical circumcision. This unnecessary and most common pediatric surgery in the United States permanently reduces the size and alters the function of a boy’s penis for the rest of his life. Every year, nearly 1.5 million baby boys are assaulted in American hospitals and doctors’ offices, subjecting them to pain, functional and psychological damage, and a forever-altered sexual experience. Chapin traces circumcision’s U.S. roots from 19th Century fears of masturbation to stereotypes about race, class, religion, and male sexuality. She describes how what started as a way to keep men and women from enjoying sex morphed into a for-profit medical practice-one that is rare or unknown in Europe, non-Muslim Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Finally, she shows how physician organizations, especially the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), have worked for decades to fraudulently promote circumcision’s supposed benefits and suppress facts about circumcision harm and deaths, and how they refuse to acknowledge the procedure as a gross violation of basic medical ethics. Indeed, the AAP now characterizes male genital mutilation as a matter of “culture” and “parental preference”—a position that, conveniently, shields trade associations and their physician members from legal and financial liability. This book is a punch-in-the-gut wake-up call that will enrage and empower anyone impacted by the multi-billion-dollar penis business.
