Sinopse

In "The Boy Captives: An Incident of the Indian War of 1695," John Greenleaf Whittier crafts a compelling narrative that explores themes of captivity, resilience, and cultural conflict during a tumultuous period in Colonial America. Written in a lyrical style that combines vivid imagery with historical detail, the poem captures the harrowing experiences of young captives taken by Native Americans. Whittier's work is steeped in Romanticism, emphasizing emotion and nature while drawing on the rich oral traditions of both colonists and Indigenous peoples, thus providing a nuanced view of a complex historical event. John Greenleaf Whittier, a prominent figure in the American Romantic movement and a Quaker, drew inspiration from both his deep-rooted abolitionist beliefs and his fascination with local histories. His commitment to social justice and the common man's plight is evident in this poignant retelling of the 1695 Indian War, reflecting his anti-slavery sentiments and desire for understanding and reconciliation between differing cultures. "The Boy Captives" is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, literature, or the dynamics of early colonial life. Whittier's masterful storytelling not only elucidates a significant historical event but also invites readers to reflect on the enduring impact of war and captivity, making it relevant and thought-provoking for contemporary audiences.

    The Final Year of Anne Boleyn

    There are few women in English history more famous or controversial than Queen Anne Boleyn. In this vivid and engaging account of the triumphant and harrowing final year of Queen Anne Boleyn's life, the author reveals a very human portrait of a brilliant, passionate, and complex woman. 
     
     
     
    The last year of Anne's life contained both joy and heartbreak. This telling period bore witness to one of the longest and most politically significant progresses of Henry VIII's reign, improved relations between the royal couple, and Anne's longed-for pregnancy. With the dawning of the new year, the pendulum swung. In late January 1536, Anne received news that her husband had been thrown from his horse in his tiltyard at Greenwich. Just days later, tragedy struck. As the body of Anne's predecessor, Katherine of Aragon, was being prepared for burial, Anne miscarried her son. The promise of a new beginning dashed, the months that followed were a roller coaster of anguish and hope, marked by betrayal, brutality, and rumor. What began with so much promise, ended in silent dignity, amid a whirlwind of scandal, on a scaffold at the Tower of London. 
     
     
     
    Through close examination of these intriguing events considered in their social and historical context, listeners will gain a fresh perspective into the life and death of the woman behind the tantalizing tale.

    The Open Conspiracy - Blueprints...

    This version of The Open Conspiracy: Blue Prints for a World Revolution was published in 1928. Apparently Wells knew this would be a temporary version and would stop printing after a year or so. It was rewritten a couple of times between then and 1933 under various other subtitles. 
    The book is, in Wells' words, a "scheme to thrust forward and establish a human control over the destinies of life and liberate it from its present dangers, uncertainties and miseries. It proposes that largely as the result of scientific progress, a common vision of a world 'politically, socially and economically unified' is emerging among educated and influential people, and that this can be the basis of 'a world revolution aiming at universal peace, welfare and happy activity' that can result in the establishment of a 'world commonwealth'." 
    Chapter index: 
    Preface 
    I. "Necessity of Religion to Human Life" 
    II. "Subordination of Self the Essence of Religion" 
    III. "Need for a Restatement of Religion"
