The Femme Fatale and the Criminal Woman - From Femicide to Lethal Seduction

Matt Turtledove

Sinossi

The figure of woman has traversed the centuries in a complex intertwining of power, passion, tragedy, and rebellion. This eBook offers a fascinating and intense journey into the female condition, exploring its many facets: from its social and political evolution to the dramas of honor, from the role of victim to that of perpetrator, from the mythological figure of the femme fatale to the reality of brigand women, poisoners, and revolutionaries.Through a historical and criminological analysis, the text addresses burning issues such as femicide, crimes of passion, and heinous acts committed by women throughout history. From European courts to the darkest crime scenes, from regal icons like Marie Antoinette and Alexandra Feodorovna to the damned women of literature and reality, this volume investigates the feminine in all its expressions, without prejudice or stereotype.A work that combines historical research and psychological insight, offering a clear and engaging look at a reality often silenced or oversimplified. A journey that reveals how women, for better or worse, have always influenced history and culture, often defying conventions and rewriting their own destiny.A book for those who wish to understand women beyond imposed roles, between myth, reality, and crime.

The Crossing

Sophie Matterson

An inspirational an amazing memoir about a woman who gave up everything she knew to start her own camel saddlery and do a camel trek across the Australian Outback. 
 
In April 2020, as the world began to lock down due to Covid-19, Sophie began her own form of extreme social distancing. From April 2020 - December 2021 she walked with her five camels from the most westerly point of Australia to the most easterly, with a six-month break in Coober Pedy when the conditions grew too hot to continue. 
 Along the way she met hundreds of kind strangers - she required permission to cross every single piece of land, and often they'd make the effort to meet her with additional supplies to support her journey. The red dirt of the outback seeped into her pores and her appreciation for the beauty of Country and the ways we can observe and better understand its subtle changes only grew as she walked.  
She sometimes went weeks at a time without seeing a soul due to the movement restrictions in place for Covid-19 prevention in Central Australia. Halfway through the trek, she fell in love with a baker called Jimmy in the Flinders Ranges: some of their first dates involved him driving her to drop-off points, and delivering food and supplies every four or so weeks. Jimmy walked the final section of the journey with her, marshalling traffic to allow Sophie and the camels to cross roads and highways as they drew closer to the coast.

Simply Chekhov

Carol Apollonio

Born in the port city of Taganrog in southern Russia, Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) survived a difficult childhood with an abusive father and put himself through school (while supporting his family), qualifying as a physician in 1884. At the same time he began practicing medicine, he also became celebrated for his short fiction, which redefined the genre with its formal innovations and psychological depth. His first serious play, The Seagull, was booed at its premiere in 1896, but—along with his other plays Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard—it came to be seen as a masterpiece, bringing a new realism to the theater and to acting, which continues to reverberate today. Afflicted with ill health for much of his life, Chekhov died of tuberculosis at the age of 44, prematurely depriving the world of a great writer and a great humanist. 
In Simply Chekhov, Professor Carol Apollonio provides a concise and accessible introduction to Chekhov, both within his time and place (Russia on the eve of revolution) and as a master of world literature. Readers will meet the major figures of Chekhov’s era—as well as his colorful family, lovers, colleagues, and friends—and gain an appreciation for the ways in which this real-life cast of characters are reflected in Chekhov’s stories and plays. 
Drawing on insights from her more than three decades of Chekhov scholarship, Apollonio not only presents strikingly original insights into Chekhov’s major works, but explores the concerns—from the place of humans in the natural world to the threat of homelessness—that made him such a compelling figure and that remain relevant to the crises we face today.
