  A Kidnapped West - The Tragedy...

  “We should welcome the context Kundera gives for the struggles between Russia and Europe, and the plight of those caught between them. His defense of small languages, small cultures, and small nations feels pressing.”—Claire Messud, Harper's Magazine 
  “Kundera focuses on the relationship of Europe’s central ‘small nations’ like Czechoslovakia and Ukraine to Western culture and argues that their cultural identities were increasingly threatened.”—New York Book Review  
  A short collection of brilliant early essays that offers a fascinating context for Milan Kundera’s subsequent career and holds a mirror to much recent European history.  It is also remarkably prescient with regard to Russia’s current aggression in Ukraine and its threat to the rest of Europe. 
  Milan Kundera’s early nonfiction work feels especially resonant in our own time. In these pieces, Kundera pleads the case of the “small nations” of Europe who, by culture, are Western with deep roots in Europe, despite Russia imposing its own Communist political regimes in Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Kundera warns that the real tragedy here is not Russia but Europe, whose own identity and culture are directly challenged and threatened in a way that could lead to their destruction. He is sounding the alarm, which chimes loud and clear in our own twenty-first century. 
  The 1983 essay translated by Edmund White (“The Tragedy of Central Europe”), and the 1967 lecture delivered to the Czech Writers’ Union in the middle of the Prague Spring by the young Milan Kundera (“Literature and the Small Nations”), translated for the first time by Linda Asher, are both written in a voice that is at once personal, vehement, and anguished. Here, Kundera appears already as one of our great European writers and truly our contemporary. Each piece is prefaced by a short presentation by French historian Pierre Nora and Czech-born French political scientist Jacques Rupnik.

  Since our various vehicles were created, from the train, to the car, to the plane, to the sub, to the rocket, our world has gotten so much smaller, now, space is the last great frontier. There is another unknown great frontier, one that we are only beginning to discover, the human mind, especially the subconscious. Our emotions, our thoughts, that gut instinct telling you something isn’t right. It’s all linked to the subconscious. 
  Our subconscious is a very powerful thing, and just like every other powerful thing in the world, it’s dangerous. In fact, our own subconscious is more dangerous to us than it is to others. When it comes to our knowledge of what the subconscious is capable of, almost every way you would use the subconscious negatively against someone uses their subconscious and not your own. Whether they are scams online or offline, or techniques used by cults to gain more members. 
  In this audiobook you will find detailed information on these things along with information regarding brainwashing, mentalism, and psychometry. Learn how to see through scams, and listen about some of the most common examples of propaganda. As well as how to help control your undesirable emotions.

  Eternal Rome: The Rise and Legacy of an Empire takes readers on a captivating journey through the history of one of the most powerful and influential civilizations the world has ever known. From its legendary founding by Romulus and Remus to its rise as a mighty empire and its eventual decline, this book explores the multifaceted story of Rome's political, cultural, and military achievements, and how they continue to shape our modern world. 
  The book delves into the intricacies of Roman governance, society, warfare, and religion, while also examining the empire’s profound influence on law, architecture, literature, and philosophy. Through vivid narratives, it brings to life key moments such as the Punic Wars, the reign of Augustus, the cultural flourishing under the Pax Romana, and the eventual fall of the Western Empire in 476 CE. 
  More than a historical account, Eternal Rome explores how Rome's legacy endures through its contributions to modern languages, legal systems, infrastructure, and governance. It offers invaluable insights into the lessons we can learn from Rome’s rise, its eventual decline, and its remarkable ability to reinvent itself, particularly through the survival of the Eastern Roman Empire, later known as Byzantium.
