Synopsis

“Some histories are buried not because they are forgotten, but because they are too honest to be convenient.”What if freedom could be stolen in plain sight—and the law would look away?“12 Years a Slave (Bound, Broken, and Remembered)” is a powerful hybrid of movie review, biography, and historical reckoning that goes beyond the screen to uncover the full weight of Solomon Northup’s life and the brutal reality of American slavery. This book does not retell the film—it expands it, grounding every scene, silence, and act of violence in real history, lived experience, and documented truth.Based on the acclaimed film “12 Years a Slave” starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender, this work examines not only what audiences saw, but what history tried to erase. It traces Solomon Northup’s life as a free Black man in New York, his calculated kidnapping, twelve years of forced enslavement, and the long aftermath that followed his return to freedom—where justice proved elusive and memory fragile.This book is written for readers who want more than surface-level analysis. It explores:The systematic destruction of identity under slaveryThe gendered violence endured by enslaved women through the story of PatseyThe psychology of power embodied by Edwin EppsResistance that relied on intelligence, silence, and survivalWhy Northup’s memoir was buried for generationsHow 12 Years a Slave reshaped modern historical memoryWith a clear, authoritative voice, this book bridges cinema and documented history, showing how film can function as historical reckoning rather than entertainment. It reveals slavery not as distant cruelty, but as a structured system supported by law, economy, and silence.Unlike typical movie companions or academic texts, “12 Years a Slave” is written to be accessible, emotionally precise, and deeply human—making it ideal for:Readers interested in historical biographyStudents and educators studying slavery and American historyFilm lovers seeking deeper meaning behind 12 Years a SlaveReaders searching for truthful, unsanitized historical narrativesThis is not a comfort read. It is a necessary one. Solomon Northup’s life is more than a story of survival—it is testimony, warning, and record. To read it is to confront what was done, how it was allowed, and why remembering it still matters.If you believe history should be told without softening, if you want to understand the real world behind the film, and if you refuse to let truth disappear into silence—this book is for you.👉 Read it. Remember it. And carry the truth forward.

We live in a world of seemingly limitless consumer choice. Yet, as every shopper knows without thinking about it, many everyday goods—from beds to batteries to printer paper—are available in a finite number of "standard sizes." What makes these sizes "standard" is an agreement among competing firms to make or sell products with the same limited dimensions. But how did firms—often hotly competing firms—reach such collective agreements? 
 
 
 
In exploring this question, Colleen Dunlavy puts the history of mass production and distribution in an entirely new light. She reveals that, despite the widely publicized model offered by Henry Ford, mass production techniques did not naturally diffuse throughout the US economy. On the contrary, formidable market forces blocked their diffusion. It was only under the cover of collectively agreed-upon, industry-wide standard sizes—orchestrated by the federal government—that competing firms were able to break free of market forces and transition to mass production and distribution. Without government promotion of standard sizes, the twentieth-century American variety of capitalism would have looked markedly less "Fordist." 
 
 
 
Small, Medium, Large will make all of us think differently about the everyday consumer choices we take for granted.

In Ordinary People Don't Carry Machine Guns, Artem Chapeye reveals his war, intimate and senseless, withholding nothing about his motivations, his nightmares, his new relationship with the world. Here one man, a pacifist turned fighter, a story writer turned soldier considers the reasons for and reactions to war on a very personal level. 
 
 
 
Chapeye investigates his role in the Ukrainian people's defense against the Russian army and his responsibilities as a father, a writer, a soldier, and a man of conviction. An avowed pacifist until 2022, Chapeye joined the Ukrainian army in the first days of the invasion. He tries to understand the large-scale decision-making that has a defining impact on both individual citizens and society-at-large: many of his fellow soldiers never considered enlisting before finding themselves at war; others fled the country. He wonders what his young children at home are doing and what they're feeling. 
 
 
 
The book has three parts, offering historical analogies and literary references throughout. Deeply thought-provoking, intelligent, and heartbreaking, this is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the ways that war can change everything.
