Sinopse

Set sail for the South Seas in Jack London's tender and tragic island tales.

On the Makaloa Mat is a unique and deeply emotional collection of short stories set in Hawaii, revealing a different side of Jack London—introspective, lyrical, and human. Through a series of loosely connected vignettes, London captures the cultural richness, heartbreak, and resilience of native Hawaiians and Westerners during a time of change.

Written during the final years of his life, these stories depart from London's usual rugged adventures to explore love, betrayal, aging, memory, and dignity—woven into the natural beauty and spiritual rhythm of the islands.

The complete, unabridged short story cycle

Lush illustrations evoking early 20th-century Hawaii

Kindle-optimized formatting for immersive reading

    Where can I go from your Spirit?Where can I flee from your presence?If I go up to the heavens, you are there;If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.If I rise on the wings of the dawn,if I settle on the far side of the sea,even there your hand will guide me,your right hand will hold me fast.(Psalm 139:7-10)

    Mother's Secret - A...

    Artfully blending the genres of memoir and scientific research, Mother's Secret: A Nutritionist's View of Family and Alzheimer's Disease offers the compelling story of one woman's southern roots. She is familiar, perhaps like your mother or grandmother, a woman who gained strength during the upheavals of the Great Depression and World War II. Her independence served her well until dementia overwhelmed her and challenged her relationship with her daughters. 
    Sadly, the spread of progressive brain disorders is wider than the Mississippi River. Mother's Secret, a hybrid book confronting these issues, combines personal experiences with information about a healthful diet, the benefits of botanicals, and current discoveries about brain function. Walls' powerful story will resonate with families affected by Alzheimer's, students in holistic or social programs, those wanting to make better choices for their own cognitive health, and anyone who likes a good read. While looking directly at the realities of Alzheimer's, the narrative transcends the disease to reveal both the loss and the glory of this mother's life.

It passes the time,in a positive rhymn like a Ticking tocking clock.

    The Greek Famine of World War II...

    In the autumn of 1940, Greece found itself thrust into the chaos of World War II when Italian forces, under the command of Benito Mussolini, launched an invasion from Albania. Despite being outnumbered and under-equipped, Greek forces mounted a formidable defense, pushing the Italians back and even advancing into Albanian territory. This unexpected success humiliated Mussolini and prompted Adolf Hitler to intervene, leading to a swift German invasion in April 1941. Within weeks, Greece had fallen under Axis control, divided between Germany, Italy, and Bulgaria. 
    The occupation marked the beginning of a dark chapter in Greek history. The country was strategically important, but the Axis powers showed little interest in the welfare of the population. The division of the territory resulted in inconsistent governance and exploitation. The Germans controlled key cities and transportation networks, while the Italians managed the majority of the countryside. Bulgaria, seeking territorial expansion, aggressively imposed policies of assimilation in northern regions. Each occupying force pursued its own interests, often at the expense of the Greek people. 
    From the earliest days of occupation, the signs of impending crisis were clear. The agricultural economy, already fragile, was disrupted by war and commandeered by the Axis to support their military campaigns. Transportation networks were dismantled or redirected to serve occupying forces, cutting off essential supply chains. Coastal blockades, imposed by the British to weaken the Axis, unintentionally contributed to the strangulation of Greek imports, especially food. The result was a country teetering on the edge of economic and social collapse.
