Sinopsis

In "Caesar: A Sketch," James Anthony Froude presents a incisive exploration of Julius Caesar's life, emphasizing not only his political strategies and military accomplishments, but also the moral dilemmas that shaped his character. Froude's narrative style blends vivid storytelling with scholarly analysis, fulfilling the expectations of both general readers and historians alike. The work is situated within a rich literary tradition that seeks to understand the complexities of historical figures by examining their inner lives and motivations, while also reflecting the Victorian fascination with classical history, progress, and individualism. Froude, a prominent historian and novelist of the 19th century, was influenced by his deep interest in the intersection of history, morality, and the human experience. His earlier works on English history and his criticisms of established historiography inform his portrayal of Caesar, inviting readers to ponder the ethical ramifications of leadership and ambition. Froude's background as a writer for reputable publications and his friendships with notable contemporaries shaped his articulate and engaging prose, making complex ideas accessible to a wider audience. For readers interested in historical biography, Froude's "Caesar: A Sketch" offers an enlightening journey into the life of one of history's most formidable leaders. Through his engaging narrative, readers will gain fresh insights into Caesar's character and the principles that underlie his legendary status, recommending this scholarly work to anyone seeking to understand the duality of greatness and moral compromise in leadership.

    Before Sarah Styf turned eighteen, she was moved across the country four times, living in five states in four different time zones before she left her parents' home in Michigan for four years of college in Nebraska. As an adult, she and her husband started their family in Indiana, then chose to spend six years in Southeast Texas, before a significant life-changing event sent them back to the Midwest. There have been two constants throughout Sarah's life: faith and change. 
      
    One of the ways she coped with change over the years was writing. After nearly a decade of blogging, Sarah noticed a common theme throughout her writing: life is a series of unexpected events, a blind journey through the challenges of being a human, raising children, maintaining a career, and getting older. In her first book, she processes her own journey of leaning into the unexpected and learning how to build a home when everything blows up in your face.

    By the time he was brought to trial in 1992, Soviet serial killer Andrei Chikatilo had killed more than fifty women and children, often sexually abusing them and leaving their bodies mutilated beyond recognition. Although he was initially arrested in 1984, the police lacked enough evidence to pin the unsolved murders on him and he was able to torture and kill dozens more before his eventual conviction. Compiling exclusive interviews and trial transcripts, journalist and editor at London's Sunday Times Peter Conradi reveals how the grandfather and former teacher carried out a horrific twelve-year killing spree. 
     
     
      
    Based on extensive research into Chikatilo's past and the elements of Soviet society that allowed his crimes to go unsolved for so long, Conradi delves into the life of one of history's most prolific and disturbing serial killers. Interviews with Moscow police detectives detail the fervent hunt for the man who preyed on young children, prostitutes, and runaways. 
     
     
      
    A chilling look into the deranged mind of a monster, The Red Ripper is a comprehensive and shocking true crime account of one of the twentieth century's deadliest killers. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

An investigation ensued, but the real story has never been told…until now.It was a cool, quiet evening at Calumet Farm, where the most valuable racehorses—including the prolific stallion Alydar—had settled into their stalls for the evening. Alton Stone, filling in for the regular night watchman, completed his rounds at the barn. Although nothing seemed out of the ordinary, an inexplicable hunch led Stone to check on Alydar.

Kray weaves together shocking testimony and key evidence from the trials, featuring dramatic photos taken the night of the incident. Drawing on interviews conducted with more than twenty-five key witnesses, Kray reveals insider-only details and, in order to discover the truth about the death of this magnificent horse, embarks on a major investigation—one that leads to an unexpected and startling conclusion

    The candid and far-reaching interview with the public intellectual and author of Illness as Metaphor, conducted in 1978 Paris and New York. Over the summer and fall of 1978, Susan Sontag engaged in a series of deeply stimulating, provocative and intimate conversations with Jonathan Cott of Rolling Stone magazine. While the printed interview was extensive, it covered only a third of their twelve hours of discussion. Now, for the first time, the entire transcript of Sontag’s remarkable conversation is available in book form, accompanied by Cott’s preface and recollections.An acclaimed author of novels and essays, a renowned cultural critic and radical anti-war activist, Sontag was at the height of her powers in the late 1970s. Her musings and observations in this interview reveal the breadth and depth of her critical intelligence and curiosities at the time. These hours of conversation offer a revelatory and indispensable look at the self-described "besotted aesthete" and "obsessed moralist."
