Sinopse

In "The Shipwrecked Orphans," John Ireland crafts a poignant tale of survival, resilience, and the search for belonging amidst the chaos of maritime disaster. Set against the backdrop of an unforgiving sea and remote islands, Ireland employs a lyrical narrative style that intertwines vivid descriptions with emotional depth, illustrating the plight of the young protagonists. The novel navigates themes of isolation, adversity, and the indomitable spirit of youth, all while exploring the social and cultural currents of the time, making it a significant contribution to the genre of children's literature that reflects societal concerns and human values. John Ireland, a noted figure in 19th-century literature, drew upon his own experiences and observations of the sea and its perils, influencing his representation of adventure and hardship in this work. His background as both a traveler and a keen observer of human nature lends authenticity to his characters' journeys, inviting readers to empathize with their struggles and triumphs. Ireland's writings often reflect a deep concern for the welfare of children, likely stemming from his own childhood experiences and the societal conditions of his era. "The Shipwrecked Orphans" is recommended for readers who appreciate rich storytelling infused with moral lessons. Ireland's ability to evoke both the beauty and terror of nature will resonate with those who cherish classic adventure narratives. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of childhood and the enduring power of hope, making it a timeless treasure for both young and adult audiences.

    The dramatic nature of Plato’s dialogues is delightfully evident in the Symposium. The marriage between character and thought bursts forth as the guests gather at Agathon’s house to celebrate the success of his first tragedy. With wit and insight, they each present their ideas about love—from Erixymachus’s scientific naturalism to Aristophanes’ comic fantasy.
     
    The unexpected arrival of Alcibiades breaks the spell cast by Diotima’s ethereal climb up the staircase of love to beauty itself. Ecstasy and intoxication clash as Plato concludes with one of his most skillful displays of dialectic.

    The Italians were defeated at Adwa in 1898. But by 1935, they were playing for keeps. Learn more about the devastating Italian invasion of Ethiopia. 
    Although the Ethiopians had beaten the Italians at their own game in the 1898 Battle of Adwa, when Italian armored divisions began pouring out of Italian-controlled Eritrea in 1935, the situation seemed almost impossible to overcome. This was not 1898 when the Italians were ill-equipped and ill-advised in their undertakings. The Italians had made sure they were guaranteed the upper hand. They had the best tanks and the best aircraft they could get their hands on. 
    The Ethiopians had no tanks and only a handful of old planes. Their arms were also hopelessly outdated. They were not much better than the weaponry they had used back in 1898. The Italians were determined to win this time around, and few thought the Ethiopians had much of a chance.  
    Although Ethiopian armaments left much to be desired, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailie Selassie placed much of his hope in an international body known as the League of Nations. He ultimately had to flee his country when the Italians poured in. Selassie would continue to harangue the League of Nations from exile.  
    But what happened after this? And what exactly happened during the invasion itself? This audiobook aims to explore just that. Explore why the Italians wanted Ethiopia to begin with, and discover the story of Ethiopians who were willing to fight and die for the freedom of their country. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn:The geopolitical background before the invasionHow the invasion was planned and what it entailedThe major battles fought during the Second Italo-Ethiopian WarThe exile of Haile Selassie and how he continued to take a stand in exileWhat happened to Ethiopia

    The #MeToo Effect - What Happens...

    The #MeToo movement inspired millions to testify to the widespread experience of sexual violence. More broadly, it shifted the deeply ingrained response to women's accounts of sexual violence from doubting all of them to believing some of them. What changed? 
     
     
     
    Leigh Gilmore provides a new account of #MeToo that reveals how storytelling by survivors propelled the call for sexual justice beyond courts and high-profile cases. At a time when the cultural conversation was fixated on appeals to legal and bureaucratic systems, narrative activism—storytelling in the service of social change—elevated survivors as authorities. Their testimony fused credibility and accountability into the #MeToo effect: uniting millions of separate accounts into an existential demand for justice and the right to be heard. 
     
     
     
    Gilmore reframes #MeToo as a breakthrough moment within a longer history of feminist thought and activism. She analyzes autobiographical storytelling in intersectional and antirape activism and traces how literary representations of sexual violence dating from antiquity intertwine with cultural notions of doubt, obligation, and agency. By focusing on the intersectional prehistory of #MeToo, Gilmore sheds light on how survivors have used narrative to frame sexual violence as an urgent problem requiring structural solutions in diverse contexts.
