Bushido: The Soul of Japan is a book penned by Inazō Nitobe investigating the way of the samurai and their traditions. It plunges into the seven qualities most revered by his people: morality, courage, kindness, good manners, sincerity, dignity and loyalty.
Step into The Whispering Woods, a mystical forest where nature’s whispers come alive with every rustle of leaves. Here, the trees hold ancient stories, and the gentle breeze carries secrets passed down through generations. Each leaf, shimmering with dewy light, seems to murmur its own tale — from forgotten legends to hidden dreams. Wander through winding paths where shadows dance and every step reveals a new mystery waiting to be uncovered. In this enchanted sanctuary, the woods don’t just breathe—they speak, inviting you to listen closely and discover the magic that lies beneath their canopy.Ver livro
Laches, a general in the Athenian army, saw Socrates fight bravely in the battle of Delium. When he and Nicias, another general, are asked to explain the idea of courage, they are at a loss and words fail them. How does courage differ from thoughtless and reckless audacity? Can a lion be said to be courageous? What about small children who have little idea of the dangers they face? Should we call people courageous who do not know whether their bravery will produce good or bad consequences? What kind of education and training promotes both courage and goodness in people, whether they are young or old? Plato constantly presents courage as an essential quality for all who seek to live a good life, so what does it mean when even the bravest leaders of Athens cannot tell us what courage really is?Ver livro
Shortlisted for the 2024 Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Nonfiction It's a tale as old as time. Girl meets boy. Boy wants girl. Girl says no. Boy takes what he wants anyway. After a violent sexual assault, Eden Boudreau was faced with a choice: call the police and explain that a man who wasn't her husband, who she had agreed to go on a date with, had just raped her. Or go home and pray that, in the morning, it would be only a nightmare. In the years that followed, Eden was met with disbelief by strangers, friends, and the authorities, often as a result of stigma towards her non-monogamy, sex positivity, and bisexuality. Societal conditioning of acceptable female sexuality silenced her to a point of despair, leading to addiction and even attempted suicide. It was through the act of writing that she began to heal. Crying Wolf is a gripping memoir that shares the raw path to recovery after violence and spotlights the ways survivors are too often demonized or ignored when they belong to marginalized communities. Boudreau heralds a new era for others dismissed for "crying wolf." After all, women prevailing to change society for others is also a tale as old as time.Ver livro
