    This is small part of the introduction of the book: Václav Havel, a name synonymous with freedom, democracy, and human rights, was a man who embodied the spirit of resistance against oppression. Born into a privileged family in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in 1936, Havel's life took an unexpected turn when the Communist Party seized power in 1948, confiscating his family's property and denying him access to higher education. 
    Despite these challenges, Havel embarked on a remarkable journey, becoming a renowned playwright and essayist, a leading figure in the Velvet Revolution that toppled the communist regime, and the first president of the newly formed Czech Republic. His unwavering commitment to truth and justice, coupled with his profound understanding of humanity, made him a beacon of hope for millions around the world. 
    This biography delves into the life and legacy of Václav Havel, exploring his formative years, his literary and political contributions, and his enduring impact on the global stage. It is a testament to the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and champion the cause of freedom.

    A Life In Letters

    Simone Weil, Annette Devaux,...

    Now in the pantheon of great thinkers, Simone Weil (1909–1943) lived largely in the shadows, searching for her spiritual home while bearing witness to the violence that devastated Europe twice in her brief lifetime. The letters she wrote to her parents and brother from childhood onward chart her intellectual range as well as her itinerancy and ever-shifting preoccupations, revealing the singular personality at the heart of her brilliant essays. 
     
     
     
    The first complete collection of Weil's missives to her family, A Life in Letters offers new insight into her personal relationships and experiences. The letters abound with vivid illustrations of a life marked by wisdom as much as seeking. The daughter of a bourgeois Parisian Jewish family, Weil was a troublemaking idealist who preferred the company of miners and Russian exiles to that of her peers. An extraordinary scholar of history and politics, she ultimately found a home in Christian mysticism. 
     
     
     
    A Life in Letters depicts Simone Weil's thought taking shape amid political turmoil, as she describes her participation in the Spanish struggle against fascism and in the transatlantic resistance to the Nazis. An introduction and notes by Robert Chenavier contextualize the letters historically and intellectually, relating Weil's letters to her general body of writing.

    One Australian woman is hospitalised every three hours and two more lose their lives each week as a result of family violence. But for some women there is a punishment far more enduring than injury or their own death. 
     
    Look What You Made Me Do is a timely exploration of the evil inflicted by vengeful fathers who have killed their own children simply to punish partners for ending unrewarding, often abusive relationships. 
     
    Drawing on her own experience as a court reporter, award-winning crime writer Megan Norris examines the revenge murders of eighteen children to shine a light on the ultimate act of family violence and the shattering legacy of grief such crimes have on surviving mothers. 
     
    From the 2018 execution-style shooting murders of Sydney teenagers, Jack and Jennifer Edwards whose angry dad was granted a licence to kill despite his long-standing history of domestic violence – to the premeditated murders of Brisbane mum, Hannah Clarke and her three children whose car was torched by her vengeful ex – this book shows it is not only women who are at risk when family violence turns deadly. 
     
     
    ‘Megan Norris has been a trailblazer. The events so accurately described in this book provide powerful insights into widespread patterns of power and control, and the profound harms that can result.’ DR DEBBIE KIRKWOOD, Author of Just Say Goodbye 
     
    ‘It’s through sharing these stories that we can lift the sense of shame that clouds victim-survivors, and debunk the myths around intimacy, power and control... We must continue to create change and push for law reform.’ MARK WOOLLEY, Small Steps 4 Hannah

    36 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder and DeceptionReaders Love This Series - Over 7,000 Five-Star RatingsThree Book Collection: Volumes 7, 8, and 9 of the True Crime Case Histories Series (2022) 
    If you’re a fan of true crime, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the big-name cases; Ted Bundy, BTK, David Berkowitz, Christopher Watts, Diane Downs, Casey Anthony, Jeffrey Dahmer, Jodi Arias, Ed Gein, etc. The list of well-known, notorious cases throughout history is seemingly endless. Books, websites, podcasts, streaming television series, and magazines are filled with their abhorrent tales of mayhem. They’re some of the most foul killers the world has ever known. 
    In my books, I do my best to find stories you may not have heard of. To do this, I count on my readers to send me stories that may have been forgotten and aren't found on the internet. 
    You'll read the story of five-year-old Stephanie Hebert, who walked only three houses down her quiet suburban sidewalk and disappeared forever. Her case went cold for forty years before other children from her neighborhood came forward in their adulthood with information leading to the killer. 
    There’s also the heartbreaking story of a single mom who did the unthinkable for insurance money. 
    Many of the stories in this book feature women killers, three of whom took the time to meticulously dismember their victims—a task that can take great strength. Another woman manipulated her two teenage boys into killing for her. 
    Plus many more disturbing stories. 
    The stories in this volume are shocking and exhibit human behavior at its absolute worst. Pure evil. However, these things really happen in the world. We may never understand what goes on in a killer’s mind, but at least we can be better informed.
