Summary

In "The Memoirs of Casanova: All 6 Volumes in One Premium Illustrated Edition," Giacomo Casanova offers an enthralling account of his tumultuous life, weaving together autobiographical narratives that foreground his adventures, romances, and intellectual pursuits across 18th-century Europe. Richly textured with vivid detail and a captivating prose style, the memoirs are not only a testament to Casanova's charismatic personality but also provide a lens into the cultural, social, and political milieu of the Enlightenment era. This edition, embellished with illustrations, invites the reader to immerse themselves in both the personal and historical significance of his journey. Casanova, an emblematic figure of libertinism, was born in Venice in 1725, a city ripe with intrigue and romance. His eclectic background as a soldier, diplomat, and spy enriched his worldview and informed his writings. Fueled by his vast experiences, Casanova's memoirs reflect his pursuit of knowledge and pleasure, revealing a complex character that defies simplistic categorization, embodying the spirit of a time marked by philosophical inquiry and libertine thought. This exceptional edition is a must-read for those seeking an engaging exploration of a life brimming with adventure, wisdom, and scandal. Readers will find themselves drawn into a world of opulence and insight, making Casanova's memoirs not only an entertaining narrative but also a compelling study of human nature and societal mores in a transformative epoch.

    WHO ARE YOUR 5 PEOPLE? FIND YOUR UNEXPECTED HEROES IN GRADE SCHOOL. 
    In Grade School, Anthony Massucci shares a deeply personal and inspiring memoir about the transformative power of unexpected support. His childhood, marked by struggles at home, was illuminated by the unwavering kindness and encouragement of his grade school teachers. 
    Their influence shaped his attitude, spirit, and future and serves as a beacon of hope for anyone facing challenges. At a time when many might retreat inward, Anthony chose to lean into the support system that formed around him. Beyond his mother, siblings, and extended family, his teachers became unexpected caregivers who propelled him forward. 
    Anthony’s story reminds us that no matter how alone we may feel during life’s challenges— whether it’s grief, abuse, divorce, or significant transitions—some people care and are ready to extend their kindness. 
    Grade School is a heartfelt tribute to those who show up when we need them most. 
    Open your heart, and you may be surprised by who steps forward.

    Acclaimed cultural critic Greil Marcus tells the story of Bob Dylan through the lens of seven penetrating songs 
     
    “Marcus delivers yet another essential work of music journalism.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
     
    “Further elevates Marcus to what he has always been: a supreme artist-critic.”—Hilton Als 
     
    Across seven decades, Bob Dylan has been the first singer of American song. As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen. 
     
    In Folk Music, Greil Marcus tells Dylan’s story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus’s point of departure is Dylan’s ability to “see myself in others.” Like Dylan’s songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan’s continuing presence and relevance through his empathy—his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan, but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.

    A brilliant and bloody examination of the axe's foundational role in human history, from prehistoric violence, to war and executions, to newspaper headlines and popular culture.For as long as the axe has been in our hands, we have used it to kill.Much like the wheel, the boat, and the telephone, the axe is a transformative piece of technology—one that has been with us since prehistory. And just as early humans used the axe to chop down trees, hunt for food, and whittle tools, they also used it to murder. Over time, this particular use has endured: as the axe evolved over centuries to fit the needs of new agricultural, architectural, and social development, so have our lethal uses for it.Whack Job is the story of the axe, first as a convenient danger and then an anachronism, as told through the murders it has been employed in throughout history: from the first axe murder nearly half a million years ago, to the brutal harnessing of the axe in warfare, to its use in King Henry VIII's favorite method of execution, to Lizzie Borden and the birth of modern pop culture. Whack Job sheds brilliant light on this familiar implement, this most human of weapons. This is a critical examination of violence, an exploration of how technology shapes human conflict, the cruel and sacred rituals of execution and battle, and the ways humanity fits even the most savage impulses into narratives of the past and present.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
