Sinossi

Lydia Maria Child's 'An Appeal in Favor of that Class of Americans Called Africans' is a groundbreaking work that addresses the inhumane treatment of African Americans in the United States. Published in 1833, the book takes a bold stance against slavery and advocates for the rights and liberation of African Americans. Child's writing style is eloquent and persuasive, drawing on moral and ethical arguments to make a compelling case for social justice. The book is a significant contribution to the abolitionist movement of the 19th century and remains relevant today in the ongoing fight against systemic racism. Child's work stands out for its passionate advocacy and poignant storytelling, making it a compelling read for those interested in the history of social justice movements. Lydia Maria Child's personal experiences with discrimination and inequality inspired her to write this powerful and influential book. As an ardent abolitionist and advocate for women's rights, Child used her platform as a writer to shed light on the injustices faced by African Americans and to call for social change. 'An Appeal in Favor of that Class of Americans Called Africans' is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of social reform and the fight for equality among all citizens.

    Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë, published under the pen name "Currer Bell", on October 16, 1847 by Smith, Elder & Co. of London. The first American edition was published the following year by Harper & Brothers of New York. Jane Eyre is a Bildungsroman which follows the experiences of its eponymous heroine, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the brooding master of Thornfield Hall.The novel revolutionized prose fiction by being the first to focus on its protagonist's moral and spiritual development through an intimate first-person narrative, where actions and events are colored by a psychological intensity. Charlotte Brontë has been called the "first historian of the private consciousness".The work contains elements of social criticism with a strong sense of Christian morality at its core, and it is considered by many to be ahead of its time because of Jane's individualistic character and how the novel approaches the topics of class, sexuality, religion, and feminism. Jane Eyre is one of the most famous romance novels of all time.Produced by Macc KayProduction executive Avalon GiulianoICON Intern Eden Garret Giuliano©2021 Eden Garret Giuliano (P) 2021 Eden Garret GiulianoGeoffrey Giuliano is the author of over thirty internationally bestselling biographies, including the London Sunday Times bestseller 'Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney' and 'Dark Horse: The Private Life of George Harrison'.

    “A fine, racy account of the Occupation and Liberation of Paris—a rattlingly good read” (Giles MacDonogh, author of After the Reich).   During the fall of 1944, once the Western Allies had gained military advantage over the Nazis, the crown jewel of Allied strategy became the liberation of Paris—the capital of France so long held in captivity.   This event, however, was steeped in more complexity when the Allies returned than in 1940 when Hitler’s legions first marched in. In 1944, the city was beset by cross-currents about who was to reclaim it—the French Resistance, the long-suffering Parisians themselves, or the Anglo-American armies which had indeed won the victory.   This book punctures the myth parlayed by Is Paris Burning? and other works that describe the city’s liberation as mostly the result of the Resistance insurrection in the capital. Amidst the swirling streams of self-interest and intrigue that beset Paris on the eve of its liberation, this book makes clear that Gen. Leclerc and his 2nd Armored Division were the real heroes of the liberation and that marching on their capital city was their raison d’etre. At issue was the reconstitution of France itself after the dark night of its soul under the Germans, and despite the demands of the Anglo-Americans and France’s own insurrectionists. That a great power was restored is now manifest, with this book explaining how it was ensured.   “Gets the full five stars . . . The prose here really does bring wartime France to life.”—War History Online
