In "Sunshine and Storm in Rhodesia," Frederick Courteney Selous offers a vivid and immersive account of his experiences in Southern Africa during the late 19th century. Through a blend of personal narrative and observational essays, Selous captures the rich tapestry of life in Rhodesia, intertwining detailed descriptions of its landscapes, wildlife, and the complex interactions among diverse human cultures. His prose combines adventurous spirit with a reflective sensibility, addressing themes of imperialism, ecological stewardship, and the intricate dynamics of colonial society. The book stands as a notable contribution to travel literature, providing insights into a period of transformation in this captivating region. Frederick Courteney Selous, an accomplished explorer and hunter, was deeply influenced by his early explorations in Africa, which shaped his understanding of the land and its peoples. His background as an avid naturalist and his participation in the great game hunting traditions of the time rendered his observations both poignant and informed. Selous was not only a key figure in promoting interest in wildlife conservation but also forged relationships with indigenous communities, which informed his nuanced views on colonialism. This book is essential reading for those interested in colonial history, wildlife conservation, and the intricacies of cultural encounters. Selous'Äôs evocative storytelling and keen observations provide a valuable lens through which to understand the complexities of Rhodesia's past, making it a must-read for anyone passionate about African history and exploration.

    Oqual Cycle The: The 84-Year...

    Today, almost every nation-on-earth is teetering on the brink of a societal meltdown as it finds itself in the midst of a sociopolitical upheaval, the like of which has not hitherto been witnessed in our lifetime. 
    Yet, hardly anyone realizes that like a winter that returns every year, such a concerted turmoil across the globe is also periodic due to what I have dubbed the "oqual cycle". 
    On the basis of scientific reasoning and mathematical modeling of history over the past 600 years, the oqual cycle posits that human civilization seemingly undergoes a sweeping global reset once every 84 years on average in order to purge itself of a plethora of wrongdoings from the societal ills through excesses and imbalances to transgressions amassed over that multidecadal period. 
    Unfortunately, there is no free music as one must pay the piper. 
    Indeed, such a societal reboot (or revitalization) is typically accomplished through a global conflict with the potential to not only wreak havoc but also strike fear into the hearts and minds of people on an apocalyptic scale so that they can put their sociopolitical differences aside and come together for the common good of the world at large. 
    The oqual cycle therefore lends human society a subtle albeit deadly mechanism to break ties with its dysfunctional past in order to begin anew rather than being held hostage from moving forward under its own weight, or even worse, continue down the rabbit hole in perpetuity with the potential for self-destruction. 
    Taken together, Summary of The Oqual Cycle is a must-read for everyone in that it will not only dramatically transform your perspective on how you view the world but it will also become your best companion to guide you as you navigate the dire fallout from the ongoing sociopolitical upheaval around much of the globe over the next decade or so.

    THE HEARTBREAKING STORY OF A YOUNG CATHOLIC GIRL TRANSPORTED TO AUSCHWITZ BECOMES A RASHOMON-LIKE RONDO BY ONE OF OUR GREATEST NOVELISTS. 
     
    First glimpsed riding on the back of a boy’s motorcycle, fourteen-year-old Czeslawa comes to life in this mesmerizing novel by Lily Tuck, who imagines her upbringing in a small Polish village before her world imploded in late 1942.  
     
    Stripped of her modest belongings, shorn, and tattooed number 26947 on arriving at Auschwitz, Czeslawa is then photographed. Three months later, she is dead. 
     
    How did this happen to an ordinary Polish citizen? This is the question that Tuck grapples with in this haunting novel, which frames Czeslawa’s story within the epic tragedy of six million Poles who perished during the German occupation. A decade prior to writing The Rest Is Memory, Tuck read an obituary of the photographer Wilhelm Brasse, who took more than 40,000 pictures of the Auschwitz prisoners. Included were three of Czeslawa Kwoka, a Catholic girl from rural southeastern Poland. Tuck cut out the photos and kept them, determined to learn more about Czeslawa, but she was only able to glean the barest facts: the village she came from, the transport she was on, that she was accompanied by her mother and her neighbors, her tattoo number, and the date of her death. From this scant evidence, Tuck’s novel becomes a remarkable kaleidoscopic feat of imagination, something only our greatest novelists can do. 
     
    “Beautifully written, all the while instilling a sense of horror” (Susanna Moore), Tuck’s language swirls about, yet not a word is out of place. The subtly rotating images tumble out at us, accelerating as we learn about Czeslawa’s tragic stay in Auschwitz, the lives of real people such as the barbaric Commandant Rudolf Höss; his unconscionable wife, Hedwig; the psychiatrist and child rescuer Janusz Korczak; and the mordant Polish short story writer Tadeusz Borowski. 
     
    Although we are certain of Czeslawa’s fate, we have no choice but to keep turning the pages, thoroughly mesmerized by Tuck’s near otherworldly prose. 
     
    In Lily Tuck’s hands, The Rest Is Memory becomes an unforgettable work of historical reclamation that rescues an innocent life, one previously only recalled by a stark triptych of photographs. 
     
    “The Rest Is Memory is a literary resurrection, as shattering as it is astonishing. Lily Tuck has done the impossible; from darkness and hideous cruelty, she has woven an unforgettable paean to hope, to life, to justice.”—Junot Diaz
