Sinopse

In 'The Grand Inquisitor,' Fyodor Dostoyevsky presents a profound philosophical dialogue that encapsulates the tension between free will and authority within the context of 16th-century Spain, specifically during the Spanish Inquisition. Through the character of the Inquisitor, Dostoyevsky interrogates the nature of faith, suffering, and the human condition, employing a rich, allegorical style that blends narrative, poetic language, and existential inquiry. This novella, a segment from his larger work 'The Brothers Karamazov,' reflects the growing intellectual debates of the 19th century concerning morality, religion, and the search for meaning in an increasingly secular world. Dostoyevsky, a titan of Russian literature and a keen observer of the human psyche, faced immense personal struggles, including poverty and political exile, which deeply informed his worldview and literary output. His experiences with oppression and the quest for spiritual redemption are intricately woven into the fabric of this work, making it not only a critique of authority but also a plea for the recognition of individual conscience in the face of tyranny. 'The Grand Inquisitor' is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the philosophical undercurrents of modern thought and the moral dilemmas that challenge humanity. Its timeless exploration of freedom and the human spirit's resilience will resonate with readers long after the final page is turned.

    This book contains two titles. Here are some snippets of what you can find in there: 
    Book 1 -  Verbal abuse involves making negative, defining statements about a person or withholding responses to diminish their presence. Essentially, it means belittling, insulting, or patronizing someone, or gossiping behind their back. 
    When the abuser fails to apologize or retract their harmful statements, the relationship may be characterized by verbal abuse. Such abuse is often driven by underlying anger, which fuels and sustains the abusive behavior. 
    In schools and everyday life, verbal abuse, often accompanied by physical bullying, serves to elevate the abuser's status over their target and to rally others against the victim. Typically, the bully may not know any other way to connect with others emotionally. 
    Book 2 - Influence, at its core, means having the power to affect people or situations. Subconsciously, we are constantly influenced and are influencing others through countless factors that impact our decisions. Even something as mundane as choosing toothpaste involves a myriad of external influences. Influence is a universal phenomenon, not confined by species or origin. Although the factors that contribute to influence might seem endless, social scientists have identified fewer than ten key aspects. This book will explore how to effectively influence others to achieve your desired outcomes.

    J-Rod moves like a small tank on the court, his face mean, staring down his opponents. "I play just like my father," he says. "Before my father died, he was a problem on the court. I'm a problem." Playing basketball for him fuses past and present, conjuring his father's memory into a force that opponents can feel in each bone-snapping drive to the basket.On the street, every ballplayer has a story. Onaje X. O. Woodbine, a former streetball player who became an all-star Ivy Leaguer, brings the sights and sounds, hopes and dreams of street basketball to life. He shows that big games have a trickster figure and a master of black talk whose commentary interprets the game for audiences. The beats of hip-hop and reggae make up the soundtrack, and the ballplayers are half-men, half-heroes, defying the ghetto's limitations with their flights to the basket.Basketball is popular among young black American men but not because, as many claim, they are "pushed by poverty" or "pulled" by white institutions to play it. Black men choose to participate in basketball because of the transcendent experience of the game. Through interviews with and observations of urban basketball players, Onaje X. O. Woodbine composes a rare portrait of a passionate, committed, and resilient group of athletes who use the court to mine what urban life cannot corrupt. If people turn to religion to reimagine their place in the world, then black streetball players are indeed the hierophants of the asphalt.

    We all have a typical image of Vikings, from the horns on their helmets to the beards and the clothes they wear. Their ships have a certain charm, and their reputation is that they were brutal, raw, and believed in multiple gods. 
    The Vikings traveled during the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Middle East, and The U.S.A. And Canada. That period is acknowledged as the Viking Age in parts of the countries where they robbed and settled, and the name "Viking" is also used to describe the population of the Scandinavian homelands as a whole. The early middle ages history of Scandinavia, the British Isles, France, Estonia, and Kievan Rus' was exceptionally impacted by the Vikings. 
    In this comprehensive guide, we will explore some of the details about the Viking history. What did they do? How did they treat their women? Where did they go to conquer other nations? These are some of the questions we will answer.

    The End of America? - A Guide to...

    America was the shining city on a hill. It was the country at the forefront of the world democratic order, the global policeman, the might of its military matched only by the depth of its financial reserves. America was the one the world listened to, whether it wanted to or not. So, what happened?
    Well, a lot of things. In this searing account, Alan Friedman shows how, from the disastrous Vietnam War to Barack Obama's bungled response to the Arab Spring, American intervention has ceased to be the decisive action it once was. And now, with the rise of China and Russia, coupled with America's prostration of itself following the election of Donald Trump, the decline of its authority is only hastening.
    We move now, Friedman argues, into the New World Disorder. In this dangerous and unstable world, the Washington-enforced liberal order is receding, and a new set of alliances and anxieties are in ascendence. What is America's place in this? Which powers are going to emerge as the leaders? Will the European Union count at all? One thing is for sure: the effects of the New World Disorder will challenge our Western values to breaking point.
