Sinopsis

In "Kitty's Class Day and Other Stories," Louisa May Alcott presents a collection that showcases her mastery in weaving moral narratives with a nuanced understanding of childhood experiences. Written during the late 19th century, these stories reflect the societal norms and expectations of the era, intertwining themes of education, personal growth, and the trials of young girls navigating their formative years. Alcott employs a delightful blend of realism and sentimentality, drawing readers into the world of her characters with engaging prose and vivid illustrations, making the collection appealing to both children and adults alike. Louisa May Alcott, celebrated for her pioneering feminist stance in literature, crafted this collection during a time when women's voices were often muted. Her own experiences growing up in a progressive household and her involvement in the abolitionist movement deeply influenced her writing. Alcott's commitment to depicting the struggles and triumphs of women and children is evident in these stories, allowing her to offer a unique perspective that resonates with readers seeking to understand the complexities of personal identity and societal expectations. This collection is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of children's literature and women's contributions to the literary canon. Alcott's insights into the realities of youth echo through time, making these narratives relevant even today. "Kitty's Class Day and Other Stories" is not just a historical artifact but a celebration of resilience and the joys of childhood, inviting readers to ponder their own journeys.

    How America Survived Three Divisive Elections:  These three memorable audio episodes, written and narrated by Jim Weiss, make ideal listening for voters (and voters-to-be), lovers of history, and all concerned citizens.  This three-part audio series sheds light on the stormy present by exploring the turbulent past. Through the surprising tales of three divisive presidential elections, master storyteller Jim Weiss explores the flexibility of America's democratic system, and the resilience of its people.   These memorable episodes make ideal listening for voters (and voters-to-be), lovers of history, and all concerned citizens.   Included:  Electoral Apocalypses, Episode 1: Poison Pens and Pistols at Dawn: Jefferson, Hamilton, Burr, and the Election of 1800  A brand-new nation faces its greatest crisis yet: as the beloved George Washington leaves the White House, rival factions try to set the course for America's future. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr get down and dirty, in an election that features one shocking moment after another. Will the American Revolution devour itself? Or will the young republic find a way through?  Electoral Apocalypses, Episode 2: A House Divided: The Election of 1860 and the Coming of the Civil War  Tumultuous political conventions, delegates who refuse to support official nominees, terrorist attacks, and confrontations in the streets as a nation searches its soul. It may sound all too contemporary, but this was the election of 1860. Storyteller Jim Weiss puts you right into the action as the United States, its political parties, and its ordinary citizens wrestle with the issue of slavery, using words, ballots, and finally bullets to settle their differences. Even listeners who think they know all about this era may learn some surprising information. Episode 3: The Whole World is Watching: Riots, Radicals, and the Election of 1968  Peaceful demonstrations and cities on fire from riots; noble words cut short

    The Devil's Motor

    A thrilling tale of the Devil's final ride between the darkness and dawn, watching as mankind falls victim to the curse of progress and speed, rejecting all peace and silence, all reflection and godliness. As he goes, he gathers phantoms and monsters, hell-bound victims and dark shadows, all the while telling the natural world to rejoice, for it will soon be free of the curse of Man.Written in 1910, this Christian tome is as relevant today as it was a century ago, as people fall victim to the next and fastest thing, falling away from God in the process. The devil's visceral delight in modernity is poetic and chilling "Come, ye pretenders to holiness—ye thieves of virtue, who give ‘charity’ to the poor with the right hand, and cheat your neighbour with the left! Come, all ye morphia-fed vampires and slaves to poison!—grasp at my wheels and cling!”Corelli lived in the spaces between. Even her birth is still shrouded in mystery, and was the grandest Romance and Christian writer of her era. She outsold Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling put together. Critics hated her, calling her "the favourite of the common multitude", and she hated them in return. A favourite of Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria and William Gladstone. She was also a lesbian, with a her 'companion' of 40 years to whom she left her entire estate and is buried alongside her in a couples grave. Her friends included Mark Twain, Ouida, the Empress Frederick of Germany, and Alfred Tennyson, while her writing tried to reconcile Christianity with reincarnation and astral projection."a woman of deplorable talent who imagined that she was a genius, and was accepted as a genius by a public to whose commonplace sentimentalities and prejudices she gave a glamorous setting." - Grant Allen "the imagination of a Poe with the style of an Ouida and the mentality of a nursemaid." -James Agate
