Sinopse

In "The Last Days of Fort Vaux, March 9-June 7, 1916," Henry Bordeaux presents a poignant and meticulously detailed account of the grueling stand at Fort Vaux during World War I. Using a vivid narrative style, Bordeaux captures the harrowing experiences of the French soldiers surrounded by the relentless German offensive. The book is both a historical document and a poignant literary exploration of courage and despair against the backdrop of one of World War I's most significant battles. Bordeaux'Äôs eloquent prose and rich descriptions immerse the reader in the psychological and physical realities faced by the defenders, illuminating the complexities of warfare and human emotion during this turbulent period. Bordeaux, a noted French novelist and essayist, was deeply affected by the events of World War I, having served as a soldier in the conflict. His personal encounters with the war, combined with his literary acumen, allowed him to portray not just the events but also the profound human experiences behind them. Through this work, Bordeaux not only memorializes the bravery of the Fort Vaux defenders but also critiques the futility and tragedy of war itself. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in military history, those looking to understand the human condition under duress, and anyone seeking a compelling narrative that transcends mere historical facts. Bordeaux'Äôs lyrical and empathetic storytelling ensures that "The Last Days of Fort Vaux" is both an educational resource and a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit in times of crisis.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    From its very beginnings as a penal colony, Australia's justice system was designed not for fairness, but for control. From Penal Colony to Paper Justice investigates how this history continues to shape modern courts, laws, and policing. 
    This hard-hitting exposé explores: 
    The colonial foundations of punishment and control. 
    How British legal traditions still dominate an "independent" nation. 
    The role of judges, police, and public servants in maintaining the system. 
    Real-world cases that reveal systemic injustice. 
    The cost to ordinary citizens - financial, social and personal. 
    Practical solutions for a fairer, more transparent legal system. 
    Blending history, analysis, and shocking examples, this book challenges the illusion of equality before the law. It shows how justice often functions as "paper justice" - words and procedures that protect power while leaving ordinary people vulnerable. 
    Engaging, uncompromising, and thought-provoking, this audiobook is for anyone who wants to understand the truth behind Australia’s justice system - and what must change for it to finally deliver justice for all.

    "Reform or Revolution" by Rosa Luxemburg is a seminal work in political theory that explores the fundamental question of whether social change is best achieved through gradual reforms or revolutionary upheavals. Luxemburg critically examines the limitations of reformist approaches within the capitalist system, arguing that true liberation requires a radical transformation of the existing socio-economic order. Through a nuanced analysis of class struggle, imperialism, and the dynamics of capitalism, Luxemburg presents a compelling argument that challenges prevailing notions of incremental change. This work remains a key text for those interested in understanding the complex interplay between reformist and revolutionary strategies in the pursuit of social justice.

    ‘I was so busy keeping him happy I didn’t notice how long it had been since I’d seen my friends. I seemed to apologise for everything. I was constantly tense, holding my breath, trying to predict his mood. Slowly my world became smaller, darker and lonelier.’ 
    Coercive Control is an insidious fog. The first ‘red flags’ are so small you don’t notice them: a simple remark about how to do something ‘the right way’ or a suggestion about how you should dress. He cares about where you are and who you are with. 
    We all want the perfect relationship, but for the courageous authors in Coerced to Courageous, their soulmate was more like checkmate.  
    The first ‘red flags’ of Coercive Control are so subtle you barely notice them. Eventually, he has driven away your friends and family, is making all the decisions and controlling the finances, and you are trapped. These brave, resilient, brilliant women share the tools that helped them escape and rebuild their lives. They want to encourage and empower you to break the chains of coercive control and create the life you deserve. 
    Broken to Brilliant is an Australian not-for-profit charity where domestic violence survivors mentor other survivors to rebuild successful lives using the power of story.  
    When we saw the impact on people’s lives of our first three books, the changes made, the hope in their hearts, the joy and gratitude for their new lives, we had to continue to share stories of hope, healing & recovery. There had to be a fourth book. 
    We applaud each of our authors for sharing their raw, vulnerable & courageous stories. Our hope is that these books will provide you with the tools to take back your power so you can rebuild your life the way you choose. Each step forward is a courageous move toward your new life filled with peace, happiness & achievement.

    About the Little People: Fairies...

    I’ve written a number of books about legendary beings such as Bigfoot, Dragons, Thunderbirds, Sea Monsters, Giants, and more. I also wrote a book titled “The Mythical People of Ireland” which covered the Tuatha Da Danann,  Druids, and Leprechaun elves. The information I found for that book caused me to become more curious about the little people generally. 
    There are legends of the Little People all over the world. Even more interesting is that a race of very small people who were close to three feet tall were uncovered recently in Indonesia. This race is called the Flores Man and was of a similar size to the beings in many of the legends of the little people. 
    This find is amazing because none of the other legendary beings have confirmed evidence of those little people in archeological sites. These findings add a lot of credibility to those old legends. 
    In this book we cover these little beings from different areas of the world. This includes where they came from, stories about them possibly coming from different dimensions, and stories about sightings of them. 
    Hope you enjoy this adventure into what seems like it might be a real race of intelligent legends.

    In this pioneering contribution to the men's movement, Robert Moore, a Jungian psychoanalyst and Douglas Gillette, a mythologist, examine the inner "King"—one of the four archetypes of the male psyche. The King Within both responds to the needs formulated by the men's movement and addresses the larger questions of male psychology. The inner King integrates power and nurturing, firmness and caring, courage and creativity, self-affirmation and self-sacrifice. From a central position between the world of imagination and the world of action, each man is challenged to take up his own scepter, to dream, and to make those dreams come true.
