  This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Welcome to the remarkable journey through the life and times of Jan Hus, a name that resonates through the annals of history as a symbol of courage, conviction, and religious reform. In this captivating biography, we delve deep into the extraordinary life of Jan Hus, a Czech theologian, philosopher, and the first church reformer. 
  Our journey begins in the heart of Bohemia, in the small village of Husinec, where Jan Hus was born around the year 1369. Little did the world know that this unassuming child would grow up to challenge the mighty Catholic Church and ignite a movement that would forever alter the course of European history. 
  As we progress through these pages, we will unravel the story of Hus's early education and his academic pursuits at the University of Prague. Here, in the hallowed halls of learning, he laid the foundation for his future endeavors, setting the stage for his role as a master of arts in 1396. But it was his appointment as a university preacher in 1401 that truly marked the inception of his remarkable journey. The Bethlehem Chapel in Prague became the pulpit from which Hus would not only disseminate religious teachings but also nurture the seeds of reform.

  A revelatory meditation on class and consumer culture, from 2022 Nobel laureate Annie Ernaux 
    
  “A dryly charming look at the way the French live now, through the sharp eyes of its most acclaimed chronicler.”—Kirkus Reviews 
   
  For half a century, the French writer Annie Ernaux has transgressed the boundaries of what stories are considered worth telling, what subjects worth exploring. In this probing meditation, Ernaux turns her attention to the phenomenon of the big-box superstore, a ubiquitous feature of modern life that has received scant attention in literature. 
   
  Recording her visits to a store near Paris for over a year, she captures the world that exists within its massive walls. Through Ernaux’s eyes, the superstore emerges as “a great human meeting place, a spectacle”—a flashy, technologically advanced incarnation of the ancient marketplace where capitalism, cultural production, and class converge, dictating our rhythms of desire. With her relentless powers of observation, Ernaux takes the measure of a place we thought we knew, calling us to question the experiences we overlook and to gaze more deeply into ordinary life.

  In 1922, three of the Irish Republican Army's top gunmen arrived in New York City seeking ven­geance. Their target: "Cruxy" O'Connor, a young Irishman who kept switching sides as revolution swept his country in the wake of World War I. Cruxy's last betrayal dealt a blow to Ireland's struggle for independence: six of his IRA comrades were killed when he told police the location of their safe house. A year later, the IRA gunned him down before a crowd of horrified New Yorkers. 
   
   
   
  Based primarily on first-hand accounts, most of them never before published, Ambush at Central Park is a cinematic exploration of the enigma of "Cruxy" O'Connor. 
   
   
   
  Author Mark Bulik delved through Irish government archives, newspaper accounts, census data, and unpublished material from the families of the main actors. Together they add to the story of a rebel ambush, a deadly police raid, a dinner laced with poison, a daring prison break, a boatload of tommy guns, an unlikely pair of spies who fall in love, and an assassination plot against the British cabinet. 
   
   
   
  Here is a forgotten chapter of Irish and New York history: the story of the only officially authorized IRA attack on American soil. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
