    Book Summary: Confronting Evil by Bill O’Reilly and Josh Hammer 
     Assessing the Worst of the Worst 
    What drives human beings to commit acts of unspeakable cruelty—and what separates those who resist evil from those who enable it? In Confronting Evil, Bill O’Reilly and Josh Hammer examine history’s darkest figures to reveal the moral choices that define humanity’s ongoing battle between good and evil. 
    This summary explores the key ideas and insights behind O’Reilly and Hammer’s chilling yet thought-provoking analysis of tyrants, conquerors, and criminals—from Genghis Khan and Caligula to Hitler, Stalin, and modern-day despots. Through their stories, the book sheds light on the psychology of power, corruption, and the devastating cost of moral indifference. 
    With clarity and depth, this companion guide distills the authors’ central message: evil persists not only because of those who commit it, but because too many good people look away. 
    Disclaimer: This is an unofficial summary and analysis of Confronting Evil by Bill O’Reilly and Josh Hammer. It is intended to provide educational value and enhance understanding of the original work.

    TITANIC 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY JAMES CAMERON 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Titanic (1997), directed by James Cameron, is an epic romance and disaster film set aboard the ill-fated RMS Titanic. The story follows Rose, a young woman from an aristocratic family, and Jack, a poor artist, who fall in love during the ship’s maiden voyage in 1912. Their love story unfolds against the backdrop of class division and the impending disaster. The film explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the human spirit, while juxtaposing the romance with the historical tragedy of the Titanic's sinking. With stunning visuals and an emotional narrative, Titanic remains a cinematic landmark. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “After learning she would be required to be naked in front of Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet decided to lighten the mood by flashing him when they first met.” 
      
    “In the scene where water rushes into the Grand Staircase room, the filmmakers only had one chance to film it, as the entire set and its furnishings were going to be destroyed.” 
      
    “The movie's scenes set in 1912, which make up the entire movie except for the present-day scenes and credits, last exactly two hours and forty minutes — the exact duration it took for the Titanic to sink. The collision with the iceberg lasts 37 seconds, mirroring the actual event.”

    When, almost twenty years ago, we founded the World of Art, we had a burning desire to liberate Russian artistic activity from the tutelage of literature, to instil in the society around us a love of the very essence of art, and that was the aim we had when we took the field. We considered enemies all those “who fail to respect art as such”, those who either fasten wings to an old nag or harness Pegasus to the cart of “social ideals”, or reject the idea of Pegasus altogether. For that reason, we addressed ourselves to the artistic world with the slogan “Talents of all directions, unite!” And that is how in our ranks Vrubel immediately appeared alongside Levitan, Bakst alongside Serov, Somov alongside Maliavin. – Alexander Benois

    "We know where we came from. We came on boats, onplanes, with passports and on the back of trucks. Weworked three jobs and sent the money back home. Webrought our motherland to life in our kitchens, ourbedrooms, our churches, our songs, our dance, our sex,our pidgin, our patois…"
    Joshua Idehen's collected works has been a long time coming. Songbook comprises verses from Mercury-nominated and MOBO-winning albums by Sons of Kemet and The Comet Is Coming, alongside watershed poems of spoken word legend, newly captured in book form. From Poejazzi and Benin City to a string of supreme collaborations, Idehen's impact resonates far and wide across the landscapes of poetry and jazz/electronica. Cross-examining colonialism, masculinity, mental health and ways of healing, his writing is an essential provocation, a diasporic dance, a comedy roast, an intervention, a cannonball from which no one is safe, least of all himself.
