Beschreibung

In "Madame Roland: A Biographical Study," Ida M. Tarbell explores the life and legacy of one of the most compelling figures of the French Revolution, Madame Roland. This meticulously researched biography combines literary grace with historical rigor, weaving together the intricacies of Roland's personal struggles and her intellectual contributions. Tarbell's narrative style not only brings to life the complexities of political upheaval during the late 18th century but also captures the emotional depth of a woman who played a pivotal role in the revolutionary discourse, emphasizing her ideological commitment amidst the chaotic backdrop of radical change. Ida M. Tarbell, a pioneering journalist known for her investigative work and sociocultural insights, drew from her deep-seated interests in women's roles in history, which profoundly influenced her writing of this biography. Her commitment to uncovering the untold stories of influential yet often overlooked women is evident in this work, as she sheds light on Madame Roland's intellectual prowess and her unfortunate fate as a victim of the very revolution she supported. Readers seeking a nuanced understanding of both Madame Roland's individual story and her broader historical context will find Tarbell'Äôs biography a fascinating and enlightening read. This rich narrative not only serves as a testament to Roland's enduring impact but also as a critical examination of the intersection of gender and politics in a tumultuous era.

    He said the dreaded words, "I give you two years to live," and my heart froze in time. 
    “Thank you for this most amazing, inspiring book; it is a very treasured read. It made me do a lot of thinking and helped me come to terms with things in my life.” ~ Bernadette Longu, Readers’ Favorite Books Reviews (5 STARS) 
    “This memoir is a precious life lesson for me as it made me realize that a mother’s strength is unimaginable and that my legacy shouldn’t be about the trouble I caused but about the good I could do.” ~ Emma Megan, Readers’ Favorite Books Reviews (5 STARS) 
    I have four young kids. To not see them grow up, start their careers, get married… those thoughts seemed unfathomable. "I'm only in my 30s. You can fix this. Can't you?" I'd made so many plans. 
    "No. I'm sorry, Elisa. We can't." 
    My breath evaded me, like I already needed the ventilator—the damn life support. I wouldn't die in a car crash or some freak accident. Nope. I knew what would kill me; I just didn't know when it would happen. 
    The night I met Mike, an infamous bachelor, I couldn't imagine that years later I'd be battling for my life as he helped raise my four children. Yet, there we were. It was slow at first, but my view on life reverted to something it had been years before. It wasn't until I started modeling in hospital gowns, fiddling for terminal patients, and taking my kids on outlandish adventures that I discovered how to truly live again. But, despite handling so much with grace and trying to build a legacy for my family, could that reconcile the most devastating of diagnoses? 
    EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a most personal memoir of one courageous woman's battle with cancer, and her determination to make the most of whatever time she has left, including her powerful mission to help others facing a similar battle.

    "Very occasionally a tragedy turns into a triumph. This wonderful, searing book is such a moment. Rush to read it & be thankful." – Miriam Margolyes 
    Last night Ben phoned from Bermuda, collect as usual. I’d asked – though heaven knows why as we avoid soppy talk – if he still loved me.  
    He had said, ‘Course I do.’ 
    He would be home for a visit once the race was over. He could not say exactly when but would keep in touch. 
    It is early June: the third day of June, to be precise, and a day I will never forget. Something feels wrong. Better get up. 
    Shirley’s sixth sense was all too real: tragedy had struck Ben’s ship, Marques. 
    The government announced that it was a ‘freak accident’. 
    But something did not add up. 
    On 2 June 1984 the British-registered tall ship Marques left Bermuda Harbour, cheered on by watching crowds. With other sailing vessels from across the world, the barque was heading for Halifax, Nova Scotia, having won the first leg of the internationally famous Tall Ships Race. As they sailed out to sea, there was not a cloud in the sky. But by midnight the weather had changed and the seas became violent. 
    Just 80 miles from Bermuda, things took a turn for the worse – the ship lurched and water poured in through the wide-open hatches. In 40 seconds the Marques had vanished. Of the 28 people on board, 19 were lost: crew and passengers, hailing from Britain, Canada, the US and the Caribbean. Among the missing was Shirley Cooklin’s 18-year-old son Ben. 
    Driven to seek answers, Shirley finds only dead ends and denials. She begins to wonder – what if this was not a freak accident caused by the wind? What if the tragedy was the result of a gross act of negligence? And why is the Thatcher government so interested in the incident? 
    This is the riveting true story of one mother’s lifelong search for justice. 
    In her memoir, Cooklin navigates the turbulent waters of maritime law and political history. Her quest for justice in the face of corruption and misconduct makes this autobiography a compelling addition to any non-fiction collection.

    The Unknown Life of Jake Fidellius: The Quantum Ethics Series 
    Meet Jake Fidellius: an unintentional hero of the absurd, adrift in a world where cappuccinos, algorithms, and the tiniest choices can reveal the deepest truths. From the quiet corners of coffee shops to the cosmic expanse of existence, Jake navigates the strange intersections of desire, creativity, and human blunder, asking whether any of us are truly free to choose. 
    In this collection of short, vaguely reflective stories, Jake explores the paradoxical dance between chaos and order: The Wet: the raw, unstructured burden of consciousness and The Dry: the human-made rules that always seem to fail. Philosophical, satirical, and brutally honest, these tales chronicle Jake’s attempts to find meaning when the world itself feels designed for absurdity. 
    But when the alien vessel 3I/ATLAS arrives, offering humanity a choice in the grand Consensus of Stars, Jake’s musings become urgent, terrifying, and viscerally real. As society fractures into factions and his queer, creative intentions are weaponized against him, Jake must navigate cosmic stakes, dreamlike prophecies, and the ultimate question: can we trust our own humanity over the algorithm?

    Twelve True Crime Stories of Murder & Mayhem 
    Book Ten of the True Crime Case Histories Series 
    Over 8,000 Five-Star Ratings 
    True crime is not for everyone. But chances are, if you’ve picked up this book, you already know that. Actual true crime is not like watching an episode of CSI. Even television true crime documentaries can skim over the sticky details. Real true crime can be unsettling for many people. However, I do my best not to leave out any details in my books. My intention isn’t to shock but rather to give the reader a glimpse into the killer’s mind. I don’t begin to think that I can understand the mind of a diabolical monster, but I can guarantee that curiosity will keep us turning pages and endlessly searching for answers. 
    A sampling of the stories includes: 
    A Sad Holiday Season - In the north of England, a sixteen-year-old girl disappeared after Christmas shopping with her friend. A massive manhunt led police to a serial killer who lived just blocks away from her home. 
    Pretty in Pink - A teenage girl showed up at the door of a farmhouse bruised, bloody, and unable to remember how she got there. Investigators dug through the clues to uncover a bizarre love triangle and a gruesome murder. 
    A Perfect Holiday - After her partner is sent to prison for molesting her eldest daughter, a mother will do anything to keep her two youngest children from being taken by social services. 
    They Got in the Way - A single mother of two young children would do absolutely anything to spend more time meeting sex partners online. Even the unthinkable. 
    The Girl Scout - When a seven-year-old girl disappears from her upstairs bedroom in the middle of the night, a small community realizes they have a devious predator in their midst. 
    Plus, many more disturbing stories.
