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.

🌴 This edition includes:

The complete, unabridged short story cycle

Lush illustrations evoking early 20th-century Hawaii

Kindle-optimized formatting for immersive reading

📚 A rare literary gem from a legendary author—perfect for lovers of short fiction and cultural storytelling.

    The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche is an influential philosophical work which explores the metaphysical implications of Atheism and moral nihilism. Nietzsche's exploration of the potential implications of atheism leads him to conclude that, without the traditional basis provided by God, morality becomes an arbitrary set of conventions derived from human opinion. This approach undermines the Judeo-Christian conception of morality as divinely ordained and encourages readers to consider alternative systems of ethics and value. Read in English, unabridged.

    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.
