Summary

The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar is the first collection of stories by Maurice Leblanc, featuring the detective Arsene Lupin. 
It contains the first 8 stories with the character, including: The Arrest of Arsène Lupin; Arsène Lupin in Prison; The Escape of Arsène Lupin; The Mysterious Traveller; The Queen’s Necklace; The Seven of Hearts; Madame Imbert’s Safe; The Black Pearl; and, Sherlock Holmes Arrives Too Late. 
The mention of Sherlock Holmes was changed to 'Herlock Sholmes' in subsequent publications after what I assume were stern words from Arthur Conan Doyle's lawyers.

    The book and its facts are real. (See the testimonials on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram). This makes central Mexico, in the so-called Area 33, seem like a sci-fi movie. For this is the location of the Torah Project, the most ambitious, globally known civilian attempt to make contact with intelligences variously described as aliens, extraterrestrials or Star Beings. 
    The awakening of humanity has been slowed by an extraterrestrial race working with a group of humans seeking to keep worldly power for themselves. These “Managers" hinder the spiritual development of our race. However, there is hope. Humanity’s cosmic awakening is being supported by multiple extraterrestrial races working closely with the author and humans around the globe. These helpful Beings of the Stars are of light, in the light and for the light. They intend to remind us that we are all one. 
    The Torah Project is part of that endeavor. The project is made up of dozens of monoliths and circles in resonance 3,6,9. It is made up of hundreds of geometries that vibrate in the sacred. Those who visit the location, regardless of the time or weather, have life changing experiences. Learn more from the ebook, print or audiobook: it will change your life. 
    This work will change your spiritual views. It will help you understand a new context for peace and harmony on planet Earth. We are not alone on this planet. We can receive direct help from outer space and its various dimensions and vibration densities. Here, the author tells us how we can do it. Let's zoom into our consciousness!

    The Era of Revolution - 1775-1796

    George Washington, Maximilien de...

    Six speeches about freedom and revolution from the American, French and Irish revolutions. 
    The first two speeches are from the American Revolutionary war (1775-1783). Patrick Henry’s “Give me Liberty or give me death” is recognized even today, two centuries since Henry spoke at the Second Virginia Convention to an audience including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. The speech is credited with providing troops from Virginia for the revolutionary war. 
    In the Newburgh Address, Washington and implores his army to put their faith in him. A mutiny was proposed because Congress has not paid them as promised. Washington needed to make clear to his generals that there was no option to surrender or turn away to unsettled lands, and that he was with them and on their side in the thick of both war and politics. 
    Next is William Wilberforce’s Abolition Speech to the British parliament in 1789, the apex of a campaign that led to slavery being outlawed across the British Empire. 
    Speeches from the French revolution then follow. First, there is the reaction from the aristocracy in England; a valediction from Edmund Burke, an MP in the British Parliament, on the beauty of Marie Antoinette and his sadness at her passing. 
    Four speeches follow by Maximilien de Robespierre, a foundational member of the French Revolution, who laid down the political philosophy of liberty and the moral law over divinity and customary law. The speeches are filled with a passion for direct democracy and the rule of the people, not the elites. 
    The volume ends with a more measured, but no less impassioned, address by the Irish lawyer and statesman John Curran. It was given in Curran’s defence of Archibald Rowan, who was sentenced to transportation to Australia for his treasonous activities fighting for Irish independence. While unsuccessful, this rallying cry for genuine self-determination and free speech captures the heart of the conflicts that defined the era.

    Stories are one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements.  Whether written down or spoken they have an ability to capture our imagination and thoughts, and take us on incredible journeys in the space of a phrase and the turn of a page. 
     
    Within a few words of text or speech, new worlds and characters form, propelling a narrative to a conclusion with intricate ease. Finely crafted, perfectly formed these Miniature Masterpieces, at first thought, seem remarkably easy to conjure up. But ask any writer and they will tell you that distilling the essence of narrative and characters into a short story is one of the hardest acts of their literary craft.  Many attempt, but few achieve.

  • Running with Grace - A Wall Street Insider’s Path to True Leadership a Purposeful Life and Joy in the Face of Adversity - cover

    Running with Grace - A Wall...

    A 2023 Wall Street Journal Bestseller 
    Nothing about Lori Van Dusen’s childhood indicated she’d become one of the nation’s top independent financial advisors. She was born prematurely on the wrong side of the tracks and with a genetic blood disorder. Her parents divorced when she and her twin brother were less than a year old. But her big, boisterous, loving Italian family, led by her beloved grandfather, a first-generation American with only an eighth-grade education, taught her that the only limitations in life are those we impose on ourselves. 
    As a young person, Lori wanted to sing on Broadway, not manage money on Wall Street. But in 1986, this quiet, serious young woman walked into the rough-and-tumble, eat-what-you-kill world of Shearson Lehman Brothers and never looked back. She fought her way to the top by thinking outside the box and working her ass off despite the jeers, insults, and sideways glances. Her secret weapon? A need to prove herself so strong she could outwork anyone. 
    But Lori’s trajectory to the top was not a straight, upward line; it was a rollercoaster. She hit the pinnacle of success only to have it ripped away in a legal battle with one of the biggest banks in the world. She was raped by a PhD candidate at Harvard, swindled by a business partner, and battled two life-altering medical diagnoses. None of that, though, would compare to having the two people she loved most in the world taken way too soon. 
    Despite the fear and pain, Lori remained hopeful and resilient. In this memorable, poignant, and inspiring memoir, she shares her lowest lows and highest highs as well as hard-earned wisdom from her bumpy personal, professional, and spiritual journey. Life was never meant to be fair, she learned, but we must keep running with grace if we are to find purpose and joy in the face of adversity.

  • Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans Vol 3 - cover

    Parallel Lives of the Noble...

    Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus

    Parallel Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans is a series of biographies of famous men, arranged in tandem to illuminate their common moral virtues or failings. The surviving lives contain twenty-three pairs of biographies, each pair consisting of one Greek and one Roman, as well as four unpaired, single lives. 
    Plutarch was not concerned with writing histories, as such, but in exploring the influence of character, good or bad, on the lives and destinies of famous men. The first pair of lives the Epaminondas-Scipio Africanus no longer exists, and many of the remaining lives are truncated, contain obvious lacunae and/or have been tampered with by later writers. 
    His Life of Alexander is one of the five surviving secondary or tertiary sources about Alexander the Great and it includes anecdotes and descriptions of incidents that appear in no other source. Likewise, his portrait of Numa Pompilius, an early Roman king, also contains unique information about the early Roman calendar. 
    In this copy-right expired 11-volume translation from the Loeb Classical library, the order of the paired lives is rearranged to present the Greek lives in chronological order.  Vol 3 presents the paired lives of Pericles and Fabius Maximus and Nicias and Crassus. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia by Karen Merline.)
