The Ball and the Cross

G.K. Chesterton

Beschreibung

In G. K. Chesterton's "The Ball and the Cross," a whimsical yet profound exploration of faith and doubt unfolds through the tale of two contrasting protagonists: a militant atheist and a devout Christian. Set against the backdrop of a London that is as much a character in the story as its inhabitants, Chesterton employs his characteristic vibrant prose and philosophical dialogue to dissect the struggles between belief and skepticism. The novel's literary style, marked by its satirical wit and allegorical depth, reflects the early 20th-century context of modernist thought and the challenges posed to religious orthodoxy. Chesterton, a prominent figure in the literary and philosophical landscape of his time, was a fervent defender of Christian values. His own journeys through skepticism to faith imbue the narrative with authenticity and urgency, revealing his concerns about a world teetering on the brink of moral relativism. This personal background, coupled with his keen observations of contemporary society, shapes the compelling questions at the heart of the novel. Readers who appreciate not only narrative adventure but also the rich intellectual exploration of conflicting ideologies will find "The Ball and the Cross" both engaging and enlightening. It challenges the reader to consider the broader implications of faith and reason, making it a timeless read that resonates in today's complex world.

Dunkirk - The Epic Story of...

John Harriss

How the miracle on the beaches saved a nation. A gripping account of one of the most famous episodes of the Second World War 
 
 
 
In May 1940 British and Allied troops on mainland Europe were in a perilous situation: cut off and surrounded, at the conclusion of the bloody Battle of France they faced complete annihilation. It would be a devastating blow, handing Europe to the Nazis. 
 
 
 
But over a few frantic days, the greatest evacuation in history managed to salvage hope, saving the total destruction of the army and hundreds of thousands of soldiers lives. It was a pivotal and defining moment in the war, one Churchill described as a "miracle" in his "we shall fight them on the beaches" speech. 
 
 
 
Bestselling author John Harris describes in vivid detail how the evacuation developed on a day-by-day basis, and destroys more than one myth associated with Dunkirk. Packed with authentic atmosphere and first-hand recollections, the retreat and the desperate lifting of the weary British expeditionary force is seen in its tragic but spirited entirety, an epic of courage and confusion without parallel.

Women Rising

Megan Dalla-Camina

It’s time to create a future where feminine power and leadership is celebrated. It’s time for a radical awakening and a revolution. It’s time for women to rise.

In Women Rising, you’ll discover how to recognise and resist the very real forces of power that limit how you work and live as a woman. Are you tired of being asked to ‘lean in,’ fit in, perform and conform? The truth is that women today continue to be constrained by pervasive ideas about how we ‘should’ act and behave.

To break free, we need to understand the forces that limit our potential. Those forces are external and internal, without and within, and they sabotage the very success we work so hard for. In Women Rising, author and award-winning empowerment expert Megan Dalla-Camina shows you how to see and cut the invisible strings holding you back.

Women Rising unveils the 6 external paradoxes that impact how women lead and succeed. You’ll uncover how these power paradoxes affect our visibility, empowerment, confidence, success, motherhood and leadership.

Turning inward, you’ll discover how our internal narratives, the stories we tell ourselves, can also serve to keep us stuck. Women Rising unmasks 13 archetypes that keep us striving for impossible standards as a Perfectionist, an Overachiever, a Good Girl, a People Pleaser and more.

Finally, Women Rising illuminates the path forward. It shares real, practical tools and strategies that women everywhere can use to craft a future where we succeed on our own terms. Grounded in leadership experience from the world’s largest organisations, Megan Dalla-Camina’s hands-on toolkit shows you how to find your vision and purpose — and evolve as a confident, authentic leader.

It's time to rise and to step into your power. This guide will show you how.
