Sinossi

In "Through Bolshevik Russia," Ethel Snowden offers a vivid and incisive account of her travels through the tumultuous landscape of post-revolutionary Russia. Written in the early 1920s, the narrative is marked by her keen observations and a reflective literary style that deftly intertwines personal anecdotes with broader political commentary. Snowden captures the stark realities of life under Bolshevism, illuminating the struggles and hopes of ordinary citizens against the backdrop of radical socio-political change. Her prose combines a realistic depiction of hardship with an underlying curiosity about the new Soviet order, making the work both a historical document and a personal memoir of her experiences during a critical time in world history. Ethel Snowden, an influential political figure and writer, was deeply engaged in the labor movements and socialist politics of her time, which profoundly influenced her perspectives reflected in this book. Married to a prominent Labour politician, Sydney Snowden, she had access to various political circles and international insight, thus situating her observations within a broader ideological context. Her commitment to social justice and equality also echoes through her writings, providing a unique lens through which to view the changes taking place in Russia. "Through Bolshevik Russia" is recommended for readers interested in the intersection of travel writing and political discourse, as well as those curious about the human dimension of revolutionary change. Snowden's work not only informs but also provokes critical reflection on the ideologies that shaped the 20th century, making it an essential read for historians, students of literature, and anyone fascinated by the complexities of modern political movements.

The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis...

Karl Marx

"The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte" is a book written by Karl Marx, a German philosopher and economist, in 1852. The book analyzes the political situation in France during the mid-19th century and provides a critique of the bourgeois republicanism that had taken hold there. 
The title of the book refers to the date of the coup d'état in which Louis Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, seized power in France. Marx used this event as a lens through which to examine the larger historical forces that had led to the rise of Louis Bonaparte and the decline of the bourgeois republic. 
In the book, Marx argues that the bourgeois republic had failed to address the fundamental economic and social problems facing France, and that this failure had paved the way for the rise of a new form of authoritarian rule. He believed that the only way to truly address these problems was through a proletarian revolution that would overthrow the capitalist system. 
"The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte" is considered to be one of Marx's most important works, and it has had a significant impact on the field of political theory. The book's analysis of the relationship between economic and political power has influenced generations of scholars and activists, and it continues to be studied and debated to this day.

Vanishing Life on Earth

Bimalendu B. Nath

The book is an abridged story of life that we see now and the life forms that 
existed in the past. Readers can flip through pages of the planet's 
history and explore the secrets hidden in the fossils scattered across forgotten landscapes. 
The species we see today are only a tiny fraction of all those that 
have ever lived on Earth. Most of the species have vanished throughout the Earth's history. 
The author intersected at five major extinction episodes and narrated 
selected stories of the lost world while highlighting life's journey on our plants —from tiny 
microorganisms to massive dinosaurs, mammoths and mastodons, ultimately leading up to humans. 
Unfortunately, we're now facing a critical moment when Earth’s biodiversity is at risk of being wiped out entirely, 
and our planet may stop breathing one day. This prompts readers to reflect on what we have done to bring life's 
diversity to such a vulnerable state. The author concludes the book with future perspectives on how we all can stop the next mass extinction.
