Napoleon’s Escape from Elba: The...

Editors Charles River

Although Napoleon was exiled, he was allowed to retain the title of Emperor and was given de facto control over Elba. But it should not be surprising the man who once ruled Europe was not content with the island of Elba. Separated from his family and cast away on a small island, Napoleon attempted suicide by taking a poison pill, but he had first carried the pill with him on the retreat from Moscow, rightly concerned about an uncertain fate at the time. The aging process had fatally weakened the pill, which stopped it from fatally weakening Napoleon. 
Though the emperor busied himself developing the island’s industries and had established a miniature army and navy, he must still have found time to brood upon his situation and could not have helped but think of himself as reduced to laughing stock. The “Emperor of Elba” was a poor title for a man who had once ruled over more than half of mainland Europe. Even some of Napoleon’s old Marshals, like Murat, now controlled more territory than the man who had raised them in the first place. To add insult to injury, the salary he had been promised in the Treaty of Fontainebleau and that was meant to keep him in relative luxury was often late and sometimes failed to arrive at all. Coupled with his deteriorating health and the express refusal of the Austrian court to let him speak or write to his wife and son, Napoleon must have felt himself well and truly slighted. Beaten, but not defeated, he resolved to show the Coalition powers he could still make Europe tremble. 
Of all the incredible military feats Napoleon accomplished, none were more impressive than his escape from Elba and his return to France, which was literally a bloodless revolution. On February 26, 1815, Napoleon escaped from Elba, and in a desperate gamble, he landed on the French mainland with less than a thousand men and marched on Paris.

Millenneagram - The Enneagram...

Anonymous

Buckle up, folks. It’s time to jump in, embrace your inner self, and release the things that are holding you back from wholeness. Enter the Millenneagram. 
 
The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system that has a sneaky way of revealing who we are and why we do the things we do. Using nine types, it gets to the root of our fears and motivations, unveiling our inner-most selves.  
 
Millenneagram reinvigorates the Enneagram by putting a modern spin on the classic nine types. Hannah Paasch, creator of the popular #millenneagream threads on Twitter, reveals how this system acts as a map toward our authentic selves. For Hannah, the Enneagram is not about changing who we are, but rather nurturing and loving our whole selves, even the pain in the ass qualities. “Only from this position of wholeness, rootedness in who we are, what we believe, and what kind of story we are writing, will we be able to act bravely for the sake of justice and humanity – to approach our f*cked-up world with the grounded courage it asks of us.” 
With her trademark irreverent humor and empowering affirmations, Millenneagram reframes the classic Enneagram types with a fresh perspective and new names that cut right to the chase:  
#1 The Machine  
“I’m an Enneagram 1 and I Can Fix This!” 
#2 The Parent  
“I’m an Enneagram 2 and Can I Get You a Refill?” 
#3 The Winner  
“I’m an Enneagram 3 and All I Do Is Win.” 
#4 The Tortured Artist  
“I’m an Enneagram 4 and I’m Deeper Than You.” 
#5 The Detective  
“I’m an Enneagram 5 and I Read an Article About That.” 
#6 The Oracle  
“I’m an Enneagram 6 and I’m Loyal as Fuck.” 
#7 The Party  
“I’m an Enneagram 7 so This Might Be Vodka In My Mug.” 
#8 The Dragon  
“I’m an Enneagram 8 so Nice Try, Bitch.” 
#9 The Wallflower  
“I’m an Enneagram 9 so Let’s Just All Chill Out, Dude.” 
A powerful tool for self-discovery (that doesn’t take itself too seriously), Millenneagram is an invitation for introspection and growth. Hannah’s revamped Enneagram goes beyond simply identifying with a type: it gives us permission to be our truest, enough-as-is, bad-ass selves.

Mysterious Entities -...

John Harpoon

This book contains the following titles: 
- The Swift Conquest: The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party did not occur in isolation but was the culmination of a confluence of societal, economic, and political factors. Post-World War I Germany was a nation in turmoil, grappling with humiliation, economic devastation, and political instability. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, placed the blame for the war squarely on Germany's shoulders, imposing severe reparations that crippled its economy. The German people, burdened by hyperinflation, unemployment, and poverty, became disillusioned with the democratic Weimar Republic, which they perceived as weak and ineffectual. 
- The Most Enigmatic Woman in History: Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in history. For over two millennia, her name has conjured images of beauty, cunning, and power. Yet the true Cleopatra is shrouded in layers of myth, propaganda, and speculation. She was not merely a seductress as often portrayed but a scholar, a diplomat, and a leader who navigated a tumultuous era in ancient history with remarkable skill.
