Sinopse

"The Memoirs of Casanova - All 6 Volumes in One Premium Illustrated Edition" serves as a captivating chronicle of the life of Giacomo Casanova, a man often romanticized as the quintessential libertine. Written in the 18th century, this extensive autobiographical work intertwines adventures, seduction, and the cultural milieu of his time, rendered through Casanova's articulate prose and keen observational skills. The edition includes illustrations that enhance the reading experience, enriching the vivid descriptions of his escapades across Europe, providing a nuanced understanding of a society marked by shifting morals and burgeoning enlightenment. Giacomo Casanova was not merely a seducer; he was a man of learned pursuits, with a background in law, the arts, and espionage. His varied experiences in the salons of Paris, the courts of Venice, and the prisons of the Inquisition shaped his worldview, imbuing his writing with a combination of wit and profound insight. His work defies simple categorization, straddling memoir and social commentary, reflecting the complexities of human desire and ambition. This esteemed edition is recommended for readers seeking a multi-dimensional portrait of existence in the 18th century. It invites exploration not just of Casanova's romantic exploits but also of his intellectual wrestling with the societal issues of his time. Engaging and richly detailed, it offers a window into the past that is both entertaining and enlightening.

    Mamma Mia! Who would have dared to dream that ABBA would come back to us? Maybe most surprised were the members of the supergroup themselves who for years had cut short any discussion on the subject with a clear ¨nej.¨ 
    ABBA´s reunion is much more than a 70s phenomenon returning to the supertrooper limelight one last time; it hit a nerve in a sensitive world recovering from the pandemic. We somehow believe now that ABBA is back, we will be alright. 
    Why do we love ABBA so much? Is it a simple case of nostalgia, or is there something much more profound going on? 
    Cultural historian Xan Fox believes that we have been too distracted and bedazzled by the catchy melodies, the far-out clothes and the facade of happiness to see the truth of ABBA´s staying power. By light-heartedly (and probably erroneously) interpreting the lyrics of some of the most famous ABBA songs, including the new hits from the 2021 album Voyage, he reveals the ingredients of Björn´s, Benny´s, Anni-Frid´s and Agnetha´s secret recipe for success: a dose of honest emotions, carefully mixed with a pinch of Swedish angst and passion. 
    During ABBA´s long career, little attention was paid to what the supergroup really wanted to tell us. Didn´t the music critics understand Björn´s and Benny´s Weltschmerz? Did no one hear Agnetha´s and Frida´s desolate upper harmonies? 
    The fans always instinctively knew that there was a message waiting to be heard. Now, for the first time, let´s really listen to ABBA.

    “A truly special book. This combination of honesty, thoughtfulness, urgency, and vulnerability is not common in leaders, and Jason demonstrates boundless occupancy of all of these traits.” – Wes Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Wes Moore 
    From political wunderkind and former army intelligence officer Jason Kander comes a haunting, powerful memoir about impossible choices—and how sometimes walking away from the chance of a lifetime can be the greatest decision of all. 
     
    In 2017, President Obama, in his final Oval Office interview, was asked who gave him hope for the future of the country, and Jason Kander was the first name he mentioned. Suddenly, Jason was a national figure. As observers assumed he was preparing a run for the presidency, Jason announced a bid for mayor of Kansas City instead and was headed for a landslide victory. But after eleven years battling PTSD from his service in Afghanistan, Jason was seized by depression and suicidal thoughts. He dropped out of the mayor’s race and out of public life. And finally, he sought help. 
     
    In this brutally honest second memoir, following his New York Times best-selling debut Outside the Wire, Jason Kander has written the book he himself needed in the most painful moments of his PTSD. In candid, in-the-moment detail, we see him struggle with undiagnosed illness during a presidential bid; witness his family buoy him through challenging treatment; and, giving hope to so many of us, see him heal.
