The Abbey Girls in Town

Elsie J. Oxenham

Sinopse

By 'town' the author means, as women of her time did, London. Less well off people would have called the city the Big Smoke. In this book the young women Joan and Joy live in the country at a manor and abbey, but they come to London to learn country dancing. They've been doing these dances regularly but over the years and miles steps have altered and now they learn them the original way and new dances they hadn't tried.

Why I Am An Athiest And Other Works

Anônimo

Bhagat Singh was only 23 years old when he was executed in 1931 for his role in the fight for India’s independence. A fiery revolutionary and a committed socialist, Singh’s acts of courage and his ideals left an indelible mark on the Indian freedom struggle; a testament of which is the significance and popularity of the ‘Enquilaab Zindabad’ slogan. A hundred years later, his influence has only grown, not waned, and his writings and speeches continue to be read, studied, and shared for their inspired, and inspiring, vision of a society founded on the principles of democracy, equality, and moral courage. "Why I Am An Atheist and Other Works", which includes additional letters and messages, delves into his thoughts on religion, politics, and the nature of the struggle for freedom. In these writings, Bhagat Singh reflects on his rejection of blind faith, his embrace of rationalism, and his deep commitment to secularism and social justice. His sharp intellect, unyielding courage, and unwavering ideals make this a compelling read for anyone interested in ideas of revolution, secularism, and social change.
