Sinopse

"In the land of ice and song, a mystical struggle for the ultimate power begins."

Woven from centuries of Karelian song and legend, The Kalevala tells the story of the creation of the world and the heroic deeds of the eternal shaman-bard Väinämöinen. At its center is the quest for the Sampo—a magical artifact of infinite wealth forged by the master smith Ilmarinen. As the heroes of the South battle the dark forces of Pohjola and its mistress Louhi, Lönnrot creates a tapestry of enchantment, tragedy, and ancient wisdom. Written in the distinctive "Kalevala meter" that inspired Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, this epic is a profound exploration of the power of words, music, and the natural world.

The Quest for the Sampo: The driving force of the epic is the Sampo, a mysterious mill that grinds out flour, salt, and gold. Its forging and eventual theft represent the struggle between civilization and the untamed wilderness, serving as a powerful symbol of Finnish prosperity and identity.

Why It Is a Cultural Masterpiece: The Kalevala did more than preserve folklore; it helped define a nation. Its unique trochaic tetrameter and its reverence for the "magic of singing" make it one of the most rhythmic and hypnotic works in world literature.

    Bill Morneau’s experience as Canada’s finance minister crystalized his vision for the country’s potential for growth and prosperity. Where To from Here looks backward with coolness and candor and forward with a fresh vision of all that Canada can — and must — become.
    		 
    Much of the world reacted with surprise and admiration to the results of the 2015 Canadian federal election and the makeup of the government it produced. Led by a young charismatic leader with a storied family legacy on Parliament Hill, the Liberal government scored a historic victory, rising from third-party status to substantial majority. With a gender-equal cabinet and an ambitious agenda, it heralded a new approach to the country’s federal politics. 
    		 
    After an exciting and productive five years spent focused on domestic and global issues, Finance Minister Bill Morneau decided to take his leave from the same government. What prompted him to abandon one of the most powerful political offices in the country? How much of his decision was based on the often brutal give-and-take of politics? When did the penny drop, persuading one of Trudeau’s brightest lights to shift his talents and energies elsewhere? 
    		 
    In his own persuasive voice, Bill Morneau paints a positive picture, tracing his widely lauded entry into the political arena, the arc of his career in politics, major accomplishments and missed opportunities, his surprising exit, and a host of revealing episodes between the events. Told with measures of both pride and regret, he explores personalities, achievements, and failures with candor. 
    		 
    Morneau’s experience crystalized his vision for Canada and its potential for growth and prosperity. He shares a vision clearly and provocatively expressed, drafting a blueprint for the country’s future. Where To from Here looks backward with coolness and candor and forward with a fresh vision of all that Canada can — and must — become.

    Have you ever wondered what was going on in Adolf Hitler's mind during his final hours in the Führerbunker? 
     
    What were his thoughts as radio contact with the outside world grew faint, Soviet explosions became louder and louder, and he began to feel his unassailable power ebbing away? 
     
    Did Hitler repent of his crimes against humanity or was he obsessed with thoughts of his imminent defeat and suicide? 
     
    With an inimitable cast of doomed characters, from Hitler himself to his mistress Eva Braun, mass-murderer Heinrich Himmler, cunning chief of Nazi propaganda Joseph Goebbels, and the manipulative Martin Bormann, this book captures all the drama and dread in the bunker as the Red Army remorselessly advanced into the heart of Berlin, and Hitler and his Thousand-Year Reich vanished into history.

    This in-depth study examines the influence of the Chinese Communist Party’s effective organizing in Shanxi Province during the War of Resistance. Shanxi Province was on the frontlines of the 1937–1945 War of Resistance against Japan—the war that launched the Chinese Communist Party. During that time, the Taihang Base Area of Southwest Shanxi was one of the Party’s most important strongholds. David Goodman provides the first county-level analysis of social and political change in the Taihang Base Area during those crucial years.   Goodman explores revolution as process, arguing that the Party was successful because of its management of revolutionary incrementalism. He examines the roles of various groups, highlighting the activities of urban intellectuals, teachers, and peasant small-holders as agents of change.   Based on newly available sources, including recently republished materials from the Taihang Base Area, restricted documentation from the Taiyuan Archive, and interviews with veterans of the Taihang Base Area this meticulously researched work deepens our understanding of the social and political origins of the Chinese revolution.
