Sinopse

In "Tom Tufton's Travels," Evelyn Everett-Green adeptly weaves a tale that combines adventure with moral instruction, capturing the spirit of early 20th-century children's literature. The narrative follows the protagonist, Tom Tufton, on a series of explorations that not only illuminate the landscapes of the British countryside but also delve into themes of curiosity, courage, and personal growth. Written in an engaging, accessible style, the book reflects the Victorian influences of its time, marked by lush descriptions and a didactic undercurrent that seeks to instill ethical values in young readers, set against a backdrop of adventure and exploration. Evelyn Everett-Green, an accomplished author of children's literature, was deeply influenced by her own experiences and the culture of her era. Growing up during a time when travel literature flourished, her passion for storytelling was complemented by her keen understanding of childhood psychology and the importance of moral teachings in formative years. This background, combined with her own travels and educational pursuits, inspired her to create vibrant characters and captivating plots that resonate with young minds. "Tom Tufton's Travels" is a must-read for those seeking to introduce children to the joys of reading and the wonders of the world. Its rich narrative serves not only as entertainment but also as a vehicle for ethical reflection and personal growth, making it a valuable addition to any child's library.

    The Divine Comedy (La Divina Commedia) by Dante Alighieri is one of the greatest works of art known to the world, a "comedy", that became a "divine book" for ancestors. It is an encyclopedia of "moral, natural, philosophical and theological" knowledges, a tremendous synthesis of the feudal catholic ideology and the same tremendous epiphany that spread during the new culture times. A great poetic genius of the author put this comedy above the era and made it a legacy of centuries.It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatory, Paradise.

    You may have heard about him: Attila the Hun. Let's discover who this individual actually was and why he has such a bad track record of being a callous, aggressive conqueror in the first millennium after Christ. Attila the Hun was the ruler of the Huns from the year 434 till his death in the month of March in the year 453. Also, he was the leader of a tribal realm which consisted mainly of Huns, Ostrogoths, Alans and Bulgars, to name a few, in Central Europe and in Eastern Europe. 
    In this guide, you will learn more about the wars, his enemies, the battles around Rome, his life, his death, and his legacy. Some of the information about his has been falsely attributed to certain details because of how much has been lost in historical records, but we can still get a slightly accurate image of who he was, what he did, and why he has become such an infamous figure.

    for many walks of life, including commercial, diplomatic, academic, philosophical, and historical pursuits. George Orwell’s campaign for perfectly written English in an artistic and content-oriented sense might seem obsessive now, but the importance of written accuracy and well-conveyed meaning for that age cannot be overstated. In fact, Orwell and his works remain famous in large measure because they’re so critical of the ways in which language can be manipulated.  
    	Orwell believed that a decaying language was a decaying society, open to misinformation, manipulation, and rewritten versions of history, the kind of themes that have become synonymous with his name and works. He was a philosophical and political writer caught between strong capitalistic, socialistic, communist, and fascist forces operating around the globe in the early 20th century, and to prevent extremes on both sides from adopting and distorting his works, he labored to simplify his style past the possibility of misconception. His works hauntingly warn readers of the dangers of extremism, totalitarianism, and all other kinds of tyranny that can be found in government, and as a result, the word Orwellian is often thrown around. In the same vein, critics of government policies or individual politicians often make reference to Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, dystopian works that were contemporary with World War II.  
    	With such a successful nom de plume, it is difficult for almost anyone but family relations to recall Orwell’s real name. Eric Arthur Blair wanted to be a writer from the beginning, but so controversial were his works that he wished to avoid embarrassing or opening his family up to criticism. The name Orwell likely came from the beautiful River Orwell in East Anglia. Either way, the gifted English novelist, essayist, and critic became a major force in political literature of the 20th century.
