Sinossi

'I FELT RECOGNISED ON EVERY PAGE, LEARNT SO MANY NEW THINGS, AND LAUGHED SO HARD I CHOKED ON MY WATER. READ THIS!!!' NAOISE DOLAN, AUTHOR OF EXCITING TIMES

'CANDID, WITTY ... A BRAVE BOOK THAT PUTS VULNERABILITY FULLY ON SHOW'  INDEPENDENT


Obsessive was, still is, my natural state, and I never wondered why. I didn't mind, didn't know that other people could feel at peace. I always felt like a raw nerve, but then, I thought that everyone did.

Writer and journalist Marianne Eloise was born obsessive. What that means changes day to day, depending on what her brain latches onto: fixations with certain topics, intrusive violent thoughts, looping phrases. Some obsessions have lasted a lifetime, while others will be intense but only last a week or two.
Obsessive, Intrusive, Magical Thinking is a culmination of a life spend obsessing, offering a glimpse into Marianne's brain, but also an insight into the lives of others like her. From death to Medusa, to Disneyland to fire, to LA to her dog, the essays explore the intersection of neurodivergence, fixation and disorder, telling the story of one life underpinned and ultimately made whole by obsession.

    This book consists of three titles: 
    Canaanites - During the late 2nd millennium BC, Canaan was a Semitic-speaking civilization located in the Ancient Near East. The region held significant geopolitical importance, especially during the Late Bronze Age Amarna Period in the 14th century BC, when it became a crossroads for major empires. The Egyptian, Hittite, Mitanni, and Assyrian Empires all had areas of interest that converged or overlapped in Canaan, making it a key territory for trade, warfare, and cultural exchange. Much of our understanding of Canaan comes from archaeological excavations at sites such as Tel Hazor, Tel Megiddo, En Esur, and Gezer, where remnants of ancient Canaanite life have been uncovered. 
    History of Jerusalem - Jerusalem is one of the world’s oldest cities, with a history that stretches back thousands of years. Over the course of its existence, it has been invaded 52 times, seized and regained 44 times, besieged 23 times, and destroyed twice. The oldest portion of the city dates back to the 4th millennium BCE, making it not only a significant historical center but also a symbol of resilience and conflict. Its role in the ancient world has been central to the development of various cultures, religions, and empires that have passed through the region, contributing to its complex and contested history. 
    History of the Jews - Jewish history is a rich tapestry woven over millennia, shaped by the development of a people, their religion, and their culture as they interacted with various civilizations, faiths, and cultures. The earliest reference to Israel can be found on the Merneptah Stele, dated to between 1213–1203 BCE, marking the first historical mention of the ancient Israelite people. However, the religious and cultural narrative of the Jews stretches far earlier.

    What if Alexander the Great didn't die at thirty-two? Empire of Everything continues the alternate history saga where the most legendary conqueror of all time survives his fever in Babylon—and reinvents the world. As his armies press deeper into Asia, a new challenge emerges: not how to conquer the world, but how to hold it together. From philosophical revolutions and diplomatic crises to religious upheaval and personal sacrifice, Alexander's empire stretches not just across continents, but across ideas, identities, and generations. 
    In this sweeping second volume, Alexander must shift from warrior to ruler, from symbol to system. The boy who wanted to be Achilles becomes the man who must govern millions. But with peace comes politics, and with legacy comes doubt. Can an empire built on ambition survive without conquest? Or will the shadow of the crown consume everything he has built?

The book delves into the ideas that shaped the United States, contrasting them with modern progressive ideologies that threaten individual freedoms and constitutional governance. Through a deeply reasoned argument, it calls for a return to limited government, personal responsibility, and free-market capitalism, while addressing the pressing issues of our era.
