Sinopse

In "Lest We Forget: Chicago's Awful Theater Horror," Marshall Everett rigorously investigates one of the most tragic episodes in American theatrical history, examining the catastrophic fire at the Iroquois Theatre in 1903. Employing a blend of meticulous research and evocative storytelling, Everett captures the harrowing atmosphere of the incident while situating it within the broader context of early 20th-century urban America. His prose is both poignant and accessible, oscillating between a historical narrative style and engaging dramatization, allowing the reader to feel the urgency and despair of that fateful day. Through a comprehensive exploration of societal neglect, safety regulations, and the culture of entertainment at the time, Everett invites readers to confront the implications of preventable tragedy. Marshall Everett, a noted historian and author, has dedicated his career to chronicling significant yet often neglected events in American history. His keen interest in theater and urban development stems from his own experiences growing up in Chicago, where stories of the past permeate the vibrant cultural landscape. This personal connection fuels his passion for uncovering the narratives that shape our collective memory and ensures that the voices of the victims echo in acknowledgment of their sufferings over a century later. "Lest We Forget" is a compelling read for historians, theater enthusiasts, and anyone with an interest in the shadows of America's urban past. Everett's narrative not only illuminates a forgotten tragedy but also serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the critical importance of safety and accountability in public spaces. Readers will find in Everett's work both a thrilling account of disaster and a profound meditation on remembering those lost.

    'I entered Goldenbridge orphanage in my Communion outfit. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing there.'At age seven, Bernadette Fahy was delivered with her three brothers to Goldenbridge Orphanage. She was to stay there until she was sixteen.
    Goldenbridge has come to represent some of the worst aspects of childrearing practices in Ireland of the 1950s and 1960s. Seen as the offspring of people who had strayed from social respectability and religious standards, these children were made to pay for the 'sins' of their parents. Bernadette tells of the pain, fear, hunger, hard labour and isolation experienced in the orphanage.
    Can a person recover from such a childhood? How does the spirit ever take flight -- and gain the 'freedom of angels'?
    This is Bernadette Fahy's concern. Now trained and working as a counsellor, she has had to dig deeply into her past to understand the patterns laid down by her upbringing. She has had to rebuild her life, and now she helps others to do the same.
    This book is a story of triumph over the harshest of circumstances.

    George Orwell: The Life and...

    for many walks of life, including commercial, diplomatic, academic, philosophical, and historical pursuits. George Orwell’s campaign for perfectly written English in an artistic and content-oriented sense might seem obsessive now, but the importance of written accuracy and well-conveyed meaning for that age cannot be overstated. In fact, Orwell and his works remain famous in large measure because they’re so critical of the ways in which language can be manipulated.  
    	Orwell believed that a decaying language was a decaying society, open to misinformation, manipulation, and rewritten versions of history, the kind of themes that have become synonymous with his name and works. He was a philosophical and political writer caught between strong capitalistic, socialistic, communist, and fascist forces operating around the globe in the early 20th century, and to prevent extremes on both sides from adopting and distorting his works, he labored to simplify his style past the possibility of misconception. His works hauntingly warn readers of the dangers of extremism, totalitarianism, and all other kinds of tyranny that can be found in government, and as a result, the word Orwellian is often thrown around. In the same vein, critics of government policies or individual politicians often make reference to Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, dystopian works that were contemporary with World War II.  
    	With such a successful nom de plume, it is difficult for almost anyone but family relations to recall Orwell’s real name. Eric Arthur Blair wanted to be a writer from the beginning, but so controversial were his works that he wished to avoid embarrassing or opening his family up to criticism. The name Orwell likely came from the beautiful River Orwell in East Anglia. Either way, the gifted English novelist, essayist, and critic became a major force in political literature of the 20th century.
