The Greatest Works of Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein

Sinopse

In 'The Greatest Works of Gertrude Stein,' readers are invited into the avant-garde world of Stein's literary brilliance, characterized by her innovative use of language, repetitive phrasing, and a keen exploration of identity and perception. This compilation showcases her most influential writings, including 'Three Lives' and 'Tender Buttons,' pieces that challenge conventional narrative forms and embrace the rhythms of modernist experimentation. Stein's prose often blurs the lines between poetry and prose, reflecting the tumultuous cultural context of the early 20th century, when traditional artistic conventions were being dismantled and redefined. Gertrude Stein, a pivotal figure in the American avant-garde movement, was deeply influenced by her experiences in Paris, where she cultivated connections with other modernist thinkers like Picasso and Hemingway. Stein's innovative approach to language and form stemmed from her desire to express the complexity of human experience and the essence of being in a rapidly changing world. Her background in psychology and her role as a patron of the arts enriched her narrative techniques and thematic preoccupations. This collection is essential for anyone seeking to grasp the radical spirit of modernism and the unique contributions of female voices in literature. Readers will find themselves captivated by Stein's extraordinary ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, illuminating the depths of perception and existence.

Invaded - The Intentional...

J. Carrell

In the final year of the Trump presidency, America’s borders were within reach of being completely secure as the daily arrests had dwindled to the lowest numbers in United States Border Patrol history. Nations south of our border, which once violated America’s sovereignty and blatantly disrespected it, now adhered to our strong president who forced those nations to heel and show America respect. On January 20, 2021, everything changed. Since his inauguration, President Biden has intentionally destroyed the American immigration system through the manipulation of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policies and laws. Never before in American history has our nation been invaded by millions of foreigners—all with the encouragement and direct assistance of the American government. The once proud Border Patrol has been forced to participate in the unlawful smuggling of millions of illegal aliens to their final destinations across America. Morale within the DHS does not exist. Within the first two years of Biden’s presidency, over five million illegal aliens have been arrested, with over 85% of the five million fraudulently released into our nation. Another ten million have absconded undetected because hundreds of miles of the southern border are open without a single Border Patrol Agent actively patrolling. Our nation faces a crisis created by both political parties that, if left to continue as it is, will destroy America from within.

Extortion 17’s Why - An Analysis...

Align Kaizen, Alan Hallow...

On August 6, 2011, a tragic event unfolded when Extortion 17, a Chinook helicopter, was shot down, resulting in the loss of 30 American servicemen, including 17 Navy SEALs from the legendary SEAL Team 6. It marked the largest loss of life during the War on Terror, a war America was told started because of Osama bin Laden and 9/11.
In Alan Parrot's narratives, an oral history captured by Nick Noe, he puts tragic events, including 9/11, Benghazi, and Extortion 17, into perspective. Alan, an Arabist, spent much of his life with royalty in the Middle East and learned about such national tragedies through observation, conversations, and omission. He explains how diplomatic immunity played a role in 9/11 and details the weapons transfer that resulted in the tragedy in Benghazi.
Behind these heart-wrenching incidents lies a web of secrecy and deception. Startling revelations have come to light, thanks to the evidence shared with the grief-stricken Gold Star families during the debrief. Astonishingly, it appears that Extortion 17 was not a random act of war, but rather a meticulously orchestrated setup. The threads of this conspiracy can be traced back to the historic Osama bin Laden raid, a mere three months prior, and thus 9/11.
Within the pages of this gripping book, you will embark on an extraordinary journey of discovery. Delve into the enigmatic concept of diya, the key that unlocks the truth behind Extortion 17. Unveiling secrets known to only a privileged few, Extortion 17's Why illuminates the darkest corners of a clandestine world.
Prepare to be captivated by a tale that challenges your perception of reality and sheds light on the shadows. Are you ready to unravel the mysteries and uncover the untold story of Extortion 17?
