Sinopse

In 'The History of King George the Third,' Horace Walpole meticulously chronicles the tumultuous reign of one of Britain'Äôs most iconic monarchs, offering an intricate blend of historical narrative and personal insight. Employing an elegant and accessible prose style reminiscent of 18th-century epistolary literature, Walpole navigates the political landscapes of his time while incorporating vivid character portraits and anecdotal evidence. This work engages with themes of power, governance, and national identity, casting light upon the sociopolitical upheavals'Äîincluding the American Revolution'Äîthat marked George III'Äôs time on the throne. Horace Walpole, an esteemed statesman, and writer, inherited a legacy of intellectual inquiry as the son of Britain'Äôs first Prime Minister. His experiences within the political arena and his connections to influential contemporaries informed his nuanced understanding of monarchy and statecraft, thereby enriching his interpretations in this historical account. Walpole'Äôs position in society provided him with a privileged vantage point, blending personal observation with a broader commentary on the complexities of leadership during a time of change. For readers interested in the intersections of literature and history, Walpole's work offers a compelling lens through which to view the intricacies of the British monarchy. 'The History of King George the Third' is not only a historical text but also a reflection of the author'Äôs own experiences and acute observations, making it indispensable for those seeking to understand the human dimensions of historical events.

    In December 1937, the Chinese capital, Nanjing, falls and the Japanese army unleash an orgy of torture, murder, and rape. Over the course of six weeks, hundreds of thousands of civilians and prisoners of war are killed. At the very onset of the atrocities, the Danish supervisor at a cement plant just outside the city, 26-year-old Bernhard Arp Sindberg, opens the factory gates and welcomes in 10,000 Chinese civilians to safety. He becomes an Asian equivalent of Oskar Schindler, the savior of Jews in the Holocaust. 
     
     
     
    This biography follows Sindberg from his childhood and on his first adventures as a sailor and a Foreign Legionnaire to the 104 days as a rescuer of thousands of helpless men, women, and children in the darkest hour of the Sino-Japanese War. After his remarkable achievement, he receded back into obscurity, spending decades at sea and becoming a naturalized American citizen, before dying of old age in Los Angeles in 1983. 
     
     
     
    The book sets the record straight by providing the first complete account of Sindberg's life in English. What emerges is the surprising tale of a person who was average in every respect but rose to the occasion when faced with unimaginable brutality, discovering an inner strength and courage that transformed him into one of the great humanitarian figures of the twentieth century and an inspiration for our modern age.

    Over a vast period of time men have plotted for control over other men. Using religion, politics and secret societies they have manipulated history itself. 
     
    Thousands have built vast fortunes and special families become entrenched as the power brokers with authority placed into the hands of a few. 
     
    Their plan was written down in code, cipher and symbolism thousands of years ago. We will examine their special language in-order to uncover the truth. From the special names to the special numbers, a secret lies hidden and waiting. 
     
    We will reveal the significance of the number of the beast and see the truth behind their religious symbols such as the cross and tree and through these see the beast for what it truly is. We will know the one that shall follow. The one they call the anti-Christ, and we shall be amazed. Never in the history of mankind, until now, was it possible to deliver this beast upon the earth. 
     
    The New World Order is ready and it's new messiah about to be revealed.

    One of the first books to explore this influential spiritual and magical tradition, covering its philosophy while also providing a practical hands-on guide. 
     
     
     
    Espiritismo is the Spanish word for Spiritism or Spiritualism, spiritual traditions that emerged to great popularity in the US following the Civil War. 
     
     
     
    In the US and Canada, Spiritualism's primary focus was on communication between the living and the dead. The spiritual tradition traveled around the world, especially in Latin America, where it evolved in different ways. 
     
     
     
    The Puerto Rican influence on modern Western magic is profound but largely unheralded. Beginning in the early twentieth century, Puerto Rican immigrants to the US introduced Espiritismo to the US spiritual landscape, strongly affecting the way magic was practiced. Hector Salva's book places Puerto Rican Espiritismo in this broader perspective.
