Summary

In "The Life and Times of Louisa of Prussia," L. Mühlbach masterfully intertwines historical fact and romantic narrative to provide a rich biographical portrayal of one of Prussia's most beloved queens. The book delves into the delicate interplay between royal duty and personal aspirations during a turbulent period in 19th-century Europe, characterized by war, political upheaval, and burgeoning nationalism. Mühlbach employs a vivid literary style, filled with lyrical descriptions and intimate characterizations, that brings to life the emotional landscape of Louisa's experiences, making historical figures resonate with modern readers. L. Mühlbach, a prolific author of historical novels, was motivated by a deep appreciation for the past and a desire to illuminate the forgotten stories of powerful women. Her background in literature and history enabled her to navigate the complexities of Louisa's life, from her marriage to King Frederick William III to her role as a cultural icon. Mühlbach's skill in blending scholarly research with imaginative storytelling reflects her commitment to portraying female agency in history, particularly in the context of the Prussian monarchy. This compelling biography offers readers not only an engrossing narrative but also a profound understanding of the socio-political dynamics of its era. It is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in royal history, women's studies, or the intricacies of personal sacrifice amidst public life.

    Recently fans have been absorbed in Curse of the Chippendales. All of these stories rise to fame, to end so tragically. 
    Many questions whether Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide or was he silenced for knowing about too many powerful men’s secret affairs with under-aged girls. Same types of questions are now arising in Banerjee’s suicide. Did he have too much information on married men’s fetishes with his male dancers? 
    Jesse, Steve’s oldest son, was only a teenager during the height of this explosion. He watched his father build Chippendales, piece by piece of a man’s clothing flying toward a desirous woman. The rise would be magnificent, the ride famous, but the fall very tragic. It was reported that Steve committed suicide to avoid a long prison sentence for the murder of his partner, Nick DeNoia. Jesse knows another story that the perpetrators never want to be told about how the Chippendales Empire just happen to fall into the hands of an FBI agent, and all the powerbrokers: lawyers, Casino owners, & the mob, that would gain control. 
    Jesse has watched other people, far too many years, profit from the idea his dad created. His stepmother, Irene, lied to him about the role he would play in the company after Steve’s death. After this promise didn’t come to fruition, Jesse began to ask questions about his father’s fortune as was his right as an heir, and was threatened by Irene’s brother-in-law, an FBI agent. Jesse was told in no uncertain terms that he wouldn’t be receiving anything. 
    Many stories have been told about Chippendales, all of them are mostly the narratives of the perpetrators that stole the empire, & cleverly they have managed to make their story very believable and credible. Silenced by intimidation, threats, and a corrupt Justice system, not anymore. For the first time, Jesse is revealing the true story in Bowtie Legacy.

    The early years of World War II saw Nazi Germany dominate Europe, but by the end of 1941, as Adolf Hitler continued to build his Empire, events in the Pacific took on their own momentum as Imperial Japan and America became locked in battle after the bombing of the US Naval Fleet at Pearl Harbor. 
     
    As the smoke and flames rose from Pearl, America and its President, Franklin D Roosevelt, could no longer remain on the sidelines of the war that had been waging in Europe for over two years, and on December 7th, 1941, the hostilities were transformed into a global conflict. This would mark the beginning of a new chapter in the Second World War where the Americans joined the fight for what Roosevelt had laid out as the Four Freedoms. 
     
    The first was Freedom of Speech, the second, Freedom of Religion and Expression, the third Freedom from Want, and last but by no means least, the fourth was Freedom from Fear. The story of how the nation, which so treasured its neutrality and had gone to such great lengths to avoid fighting on foreign soil, joined the war, will follow in the footsteps of Roosevelt, the man responsible for the American Dream.

    Sir Isaac Newton famously complained about “action at a distance.” How was it possible, he wrote, that gravity, or attraction, operated between objects without physical contact? Well, jump to the twenty-first century, and we have a lot more to say about that. Readers will enjoy a brilliant, outrageous, playful exploration of quantum physics in everyday life, from a secret interplay of TV plots with us, in electricity, to other speculations, founded in the author’s decades of initiations as well as being an original thinker and a scholar. 
    As in Einstein’s “Credo,” the author exemplifies: “The most beautiful and deepest experience [one] can have is the sense of the mysterious.” 
    Even more amazing is that you include the most subtle levels of existence that play a role in these processes. An Underground PRINCIPIA connects life purpose, spirituality, depth psychology, and quantum physics into one all-encompassing movement.

    A biography of Vergil, Rome’s greatest poet, by the acclaimed translator of the Aeneid 
     
    The Aeneid stands as a towering work of Classical Roman literature and a gripping dramatization of the best and worst of human nature. In the process of creating this epic poem, Vergil (70–19 BCE) became the world’s first media celebrity, a living legend. 
     
    But the real Vergil is a shadowy figure; we know that he was born into a modest rural family, that he led a private and solitary life, and that, in spite of poor health and unusual emotional vulnerabilities, he worked tirelessly to achieve exquisite new effects in verse. Vergil’s most famous work, the Aeneid, was commissioned by the emperor Augustus, who published the epic despite Vergil’s dying wish that it be destroyed. 
     
    Sarah Ruden, widely praised for her translation of the Aeneid, uses evidence from Roman life and history alongside Vergil’s own writings to make careful deductions to reconstruct his life. Through her intimate knowledge of Vergil’s work, she brings to life a poet who was committed to creating something astonishingly new and memorable, even at great personal cost.
