Sinopse

In "From October to Brest-Litovsk," Leon Trotsky presents a comprehensive account of the tumultuous period following the October Revolution of 1917 up to the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in 1918. Written with incisive clarity, this seminal work interweaves personal narrative with political analysis, offering a rich tapestry of events that shaped early Soviet Russia. Trotsky's literary style is characterized by its vigorous rhetoric and deep ideological commitment, effectively immersing the reader in the revolutionary fervor of the time, while also critiquing the internal and external threats to the nascent Bolshevik regime. The work serves as both a historical document and a persuasive argument for the revolutionary principles he espoused, situated firmly within the context of Marxist theory and the global struggle for proletarian empowerment. Leon Trotsky, a key figure in the Bolshevik Revolution and a prominent Marxist theorist, wrote this book during his exile from political power following a power struggle within the Communist Party. His firsthand experience as the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs and his pivotal role in negotiating peace with the Central Powers deeply informed his perspective on the intricacies of revolution and diplomacy. Trotsky's advocacy for permanent revolution and his analysis of historical materialism manifest in this narrative, reflecting both his political ideologies and his disillusionment with factionalism within the Soviet leadership. "From October to Brest-Litovsk" is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the Russian Revolution, negotiating peace amid conflict, and the foundational elements of Bolshevik principles. Trotsky'Äôs insights are as relevant today as ever, making this work not only a historical account but also a critical commentary on the struggle for revolutionary change. This book will enrich the reader's understanding of revolutionary dynamics and the political landscape of the early 20th century.

    SOME POEMS OF ROGER CASEMENT -...

    Originally published in 1918 by the Talbot Press in Dublin, two years after his execution by the British Government for his involvement in the 1916 Easter Rising, Some Poems of Roger Casement has long been a collector's item. In life and in death, Roger Casement appears to contain many contradictions: decorated British diplomat, Irish Protestant and martyred Irish nationalist. He was a humanitarian, essayist and sometime poet, a public gentleman and a private lover.
    Over the years, Roger Casement's ghost has been the subject of endless controversies, co-opted into both the queer liberation movement in Ireland and the Republican movement. Predator or saviour, traitor or hero, maligned martyr or gay icon? The question depends on who you ask, and what aspects of Casement's life they choose to hold in focus, or to dismiss as a lie. —SEÁN HEWITT
    Includes a specially commissioned introduction by Seán Hewitt as well as the original 1918 introduction, written by Casement's cousin, Gertrude Parry.

    Chrysalis - Maria Sibylla Merian...

    Before Darwin, before Audubon, there was Maria Sibylla Merian. 
    An artist turned naturalist, Merian was born just 16 years after Galileo proclaimed that the Earth orbited the sun. But at the age of 50, she sailed from Europe to South America on a solo scientific expedition to study insect metamorphosis—an unheard-of journey for any naturalist at that time, much less a woman. 
    When she returned, she produced a book that secured her reputation, only to have it savaged in the 19th century by scientists who disdained the work of “amateurs.” 
    Chrysalis takes us from golden age Amsterdam to the Surinam tropics to modern laboratories where Merian’s insights fuel a new branch of biology. The New Yorker called it a "spellbinding biography." In it, Kim Todd brings to life a 17th century woman whose boldness and vision would still be exceptional today.

    Glasgow: A New History

    Scotland's largest city has always been one of the most vibrant, varied and fascinating places in the country.
    This new history of Glasgow begins with the river, for the Clyde made the city flourish. From prehistory to the Romans, to Mungo and the kingdom of Strathclyde, it's a rich, quirky and moving story that remembers the foundation of the burgh by the bishops and moves rapidly to the Union of 1707, when Edinburgh lost a parliament and Glasgow gained access to an empire and business boomed.
    Immigrants began to arrive: Highlanders, Irish families fleeing the famine, Jews fleeing persecution and lately Asians who transformed tastes. Britain's favourite dish, chicken tikka masala, was invented in the city. Football, architecture, heavy industry, politics and a distinctive sense of humour are all celebrated. Glasgow has never hesitated to reinvent itself – because its greatest resource has always been its people.
    They belong to Glasgow and Glasgow belongs to them. This is their story.
