Beschreibung

From bondage to freedom. From silence to a voice that changed a nation.

In My Bondage and My Freedom, Frederick Douglass expands on his earlier autobiography with deeper insight, greater detail, and even more powerful conviction. Written after he gained his freedom, this book explores not just the brutality of slavery, but the profound spiritual and intellectual journey of a man determined to rise above it.

Douglass offers a compelling account of his enslavement, escape, and transformation into a leading voice for human rights, combining deeply personal reflections with searing political commentary. This is a masterpiece of American literature and historical testimony.

💬 "A narrative not only of survival, but of awakening—and defiance."

    I wrote this book because I wanted the world to know the story of my special needs son Lloyd C. Darby lll. Affectionately known as DJ, which stands for Darby Junior. When people triumph over their circumstances as my wife and I have, there are usually hidden lessons others can benefit from contained within the events. However, if we don’t share our stories with the world, no one will ever hear about them. That’s why it is so important to share our successes, and failures, to let others know they are not alone. Rather, a part of a bigger picture that is so significant, their message alone has the power to set people free. Whether through books, video, television, or the radio, we must communicate our thoughts and promote ideas and principles that produce a better society for all people. Due to the painful memories, and recreating various parts of my true story, I needed to make this book simple to understand. It is my sincere effort that this information can be absorbed quickly and to the point.

    Running out of Saturdays is a warm, witty and unapologetically honest memoir from Peter Brewer – 
    a big-hearted larrikin with a whiteboard full of wisdom and a yarn (or 50) to tell. 
    Now in his mid-60s, Peter reflects on a life jam-packed with colourful characters, career moves (some undeniably 
    questionable), boisterous family gatherings and boardroom lessons. From his humble beginnings to becoming 
    a respected leader in the real estate industry, PB’s learned – often the hard way – what really matters in business, 
    family and life. 
    Every chapter is delivered with humour, heart and a healthy dose of hindsight. Along the way, you’ll meet 
    a host of unforgettable personalities and pick up powerful leadership and life lessons tucked between the laughs. 
    This isn’t just a memoir. It’s a timely reminder that we’re all running out of Saturdays. That life moves fast. That success 
    without heart isn’t worth much. And that the best stories are often the ones we’re brave enough to tell, warts and all. 
    So take a seat, pour yourself a drink, and let Peter Brewer remind you how to live, laugh and leave a legacy – 
    one unforgettable Saturday at a time.

    The rise of financial scams has become a significant concern in today’s increasingly interconnected world. As technology advances and digital platforms become more integrated into our daily lives, scammers have found new ways to deceive individuals, businesses, and even governments. The ability to access information at our fingertips has made us more vulnerable to various types of fraud, ranging from phishing emails and fake investments to elaborate Ponzi schemes. With the sheer volume of scams being reported worldwide, it’s no longer just a matter of financial loss—it’s also about the emotional and psychological toll these scams take on their victims. 
      
    Understanding scams is critical not only for safeguarding your finances but also for protecting your peace of mind. As a society, we are more connected than ever, making it easier for scammers to exploit trust and manipulate personal relationships. Whether it’s through fraudulent phone calls, emails, or social media platforms, the perpetrators of these crimes are constantly adapting, finding new ways to appear legitimate and convincing. For many victims, the experience is not just about losing money; it’s about the violation of trust and the sense of betrayal that comes from being deceived. 
      
    The growing impact of financial scams on society is undeniable. They leave lasting consequences that extend far beyond the immediate monetary losses. Scams are not only affecting individuals but are also putting pressure on financial institutions, law enforcement, and regulators. In many cases, scams have become so sophisticated that even the most cautious and informed individuals can fall prey to them. The emotional damage and trauma caused by financial scams are significant and often linger long after the financial recovery is complete.

    Named a Best Book of the Year by: Time * New Yorker * Sunday Times (UK) 
    From New York Times bestselling author Jami Attenberg comes a dazzling memoir about unlocking and embracing her creativity—and how it saved her life.  
    In this brilliant, fierce, and funny memoir of transformation, Jami Attenberg—described as a “master of modern fiction” (Entertainment Weekly) and the “poet laureate of difficult families” (Kirkus Reviews)—reveals the defining moments that pushed her to create a life, and voice, she could claim for herself. What does it take to devote oneself to art? What does it mean to own one’s ideas? What does the world look like for a woman moving solo through it? 
    As the daughter of a traveling salesman in the Midwest, Attenberg was drawn to a life on the road. Frustrated by quotidian jobs and hungry for inspiration and fresh experiences, her wanderlust led her across the country and eventually on travels around the globe. Through it all she grapples with questions of mortality, otherworldliness, and what we leave behind. 
    It is during these adventures that she begins to reflect on the experiences of her youth—the trauma, the challenges, the risks she has taken. Driving across America on self-funded book tours, sometimes crashing on couches when she was broke, she keeps writing: in researching articles for magazines, jotting down ideas for novels, and refining her craft, she grows as an artist and increasingly learns to trust her gut and, ultimately, herself. 
    Exploring themes of friendship, independence, class, and drive, I Came All This Way to Meet You is an inspiring story of finding one’s way home—emotionally, artistically, and physically—and an examination of art and individuality that will resonate with anyone determined to listen to their own creative calling.
