Sinopse

John Reed's "Ten Days That Shook the World" offers an incisive and gripping chronicle of the Bolshevik Revolution from the frontlines, portraying the tumult and fervor of October 1917. Written in a journalistic yet literary style, Reed's narrative blends firsthand observation with vivid description, capturing the revolutionary zeal of the moment. The text emerges as both a historical document and a passionate prose piece, steeped in the tumultuous atmosphere of early 20th-century Russia, reflecting the ideological battles that influenced a generation and reshaped global politics. As an American journalist and socialist, John Reed was deeply immersed in the political currents of his time, which undoubtedly shaped his perspective. His firsthand experience as an eyewitness during the revolution, coupled with his unwavering commitment to leftist ideals, allows Reed to present a unique viewpoint, one that articulates not only the events but also the spirit of the revolution. His relationships with key figures, including Lenin and Trotsky, imbue his account with authenticity and depth. For readers intrigued by revolutionary history, political theory, or the complexities of social change, "Ten Days That Shook the World" is essential. Reed's work not only informs but also inspires, providing a compelling narrative that resonates even in contemporary discussions about power, governance, and the people's role in shaping history.

  • Black Dahlia and Sharon Tate The: The Lives and Deaths of Hollywood’s Most Famous Murder Victims - cover

    Black Dahlia and Sharon Tate...

    In the years following World War II, Los Angeles and other large American cities were hit with a series of brutal murders that, in many ways, fit into distinct patterns across the country. The Los Angeles Police Department was overwhelmed, caught up dealing with mob activities, inner corruption, a regional press that brazenly invaded legal confidentiality within the walls of the police department itself, and a lack of advanced technology. As a result, several of the most highly publicized murders committed against young female newcomers went unsolved in perpetuity, and they have remained topics of conversation among crime enthusiasts well into the following century. That said, one of these crimes stands above the others as an iconic example of unthinkably grotesque savagery, a psychopathic act equal to any horror movie Hollywood has produced, the January  1947 murder of Elizabeth Short, famously dubbed ‘The Black Dahlia’ by an engrossed press and public. 
    	In 1969, things were looking up for one of Hollywood’s most marketable actresses. After appearing as a model in fashion magazines and having bit parts on shows during the early part of the decade, Sharon Tate was a star in the making. That summer, she was pregnant with her first child by director Roman Polanski, who had just recently become her husband, and a few months earlier, she had just finished filming The Thirteen Chairs, co-starring Orson Welles. Tragically, superstardom would never come, and even today, over 45 years later, most details of Sharon’s life and career are completely overlooked by people who continue to be morbidly curious about her murder at the hands of the Manson Family on August 9, 1969. The murders committed by Charlie Manson’s followers transfixed America, and Tate has been inextricably linked to one of 20th century America’s most notorious criminals.
