Sinopse

A journey into the Congo… and into the darkest corners of the human heart.
When sailor Charles Marlow accepts a commission to captain a river steamer for a Belgian trading company, he sets off deep into the heart of the African Congo. Along the way, he hears whispers of the enigmatic ivory trader Mr. Kurtz—a man both revered and feared. What Marlow discovers is more than a story of colonial exploitation; it's a chilling exploration of moral decay, power, and the fragile line between civilization and savagery.

First published in 1899, Heart of Darkness is Joseph Conrad's most famous and controversial novella. It remains a profound critique of imperialism, human greed, and the psychological toll of unchecked ambition. Its influence extends far beyond literature, inspiring films like Apocalypse Now and countless works examining the cost of power.

"One of the greatest short novels in the English language."
– The New York Times

"A masterpiece of psychological and political insight."
– The Guardian

    This book combo encompasses the following topics: 
    Pol Pot - Pol Pot was a Cambodian political leader and revolutionary who worked as Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1975 till 1979. He was a key member of Cambodia's communist company, the Khmer Rouge, from 1963 to 1997, and acted as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea from 1963 to 1981. 
    Benito Mussolini - Ironically, when we think of fascism, we often look at someone as brutal and influential as Adolf Hitler, but the word “fascism” originated from Italian. The ideology that was carried out in the vicious Spanish War right before World War 2, and was embraced by Nazi Germany, was actually pushed and more or less invented by the Italians during a critical time in history when many changes were made, and when fear and uncertainty were all in the air. 
    Francisco Pizarro - Conquistadores (or Conquistadors) were the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors who invaded parts of the world that hadn’t been discovered by the Europeans before the 16th century. Some of these conquerors behaved fairly nice and respectful towards the local population in South America, Asia, Africa, and Central America. 
    Torquemada - The Spanish inquisition was nasty in the 15th century. I am glad we don’t live in those times anymore. We have our own problems to deal with here. But back then, in some countries, primarily the Catholic-dominated ones in Europe, being called a heretic, a witch, or a sinner meant business. It could mean the end of your life. And often, you had nothing to defend yourself with. 
    Robespierre - One of the most widely known figures of the Reign of terror was Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre, a French attorney and statesman. He promoted universal manhood suffrage and the removal of both clergy celibacy and oppression as a member of the Constituent Assembly and the Jacobin Club.

    Our government is in crisis, mired in bureaucracy and often unable to fix tough problems. This book provides an essential new model for transforming the system and getting things done. 
     
     
     
    COVID. Climate change. Refugee resettlement. Global supply chains. We're facing a new generation of complex problems, stretching across the public and private sectors. Historically we've looked to government for big solutions, but the reality is, the government we have now is a poor match for the problems we face. 
     
     
     
    We need a fresh, new approach. As William D. Eggers and Donald F. Kettl show in this indispensable book, we need a government of bridgebuilders—public managers and leaders who collaborate with partners, both inside and outside government, to get the job done. They manage horizontally instead of vertically, they see their role as connectors, and they identify which players have the assets needed to solve the problems at hand. 
     
     
     
    Each chapter examines one of the ten core principles of bridgebuilding and features practical tips and dynamic cases of how effective leaders have put each principle to work. Also included is a special section on creating a hundred-day bridgebuilding plan.

    It is not the original book and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Richard Rothstein.
     
    Ideal those seeking a quick and insightful overview.
     
    The Color of Law is a groundbreaking exploration of how government policies in the United States deliberately enforced racial segregation in housing. This revelatory book dismantles the myth that residential segregation is purely the result of individual choices or economic disparities, revealing a deeply ingrained system of laws, zoning ordinances, and institutional practices that have perpetuated inequality for decades. Through meticulous research and powerful examples, the book sheds light on how these policies continue to shape American cities and the socioeconomic realities of millions today.
