Sinossi

Olaudah Equiano's 'The Life of Olaudah Equiano' is a poignant and groundbreaking autobiography that offers a first-person account of the harrowing experiences of the transatlantic slave trade. Written in a captivating prose style, Equiano skillfully intertwines narrative storytelling with historical documentation, illustrating the horrors of slavery alongside his own journey from captivity to eventual freedom and life as an influential abolitionist. This work stands as a significant testament to the fight for human rights in the 18th century, contextualizing the broader socio-political realities of the time while challenging the prevalent narratives around race and slavery. Equiano was born in what is now Nigeria and was forcibly taken into slavery at a young age. His unique perspective as both a former slave and a later proponent of abolition has informed his articulate advocacy against the institution of slavery. His exposure to diverse cultures, languages, and social systems throughout his life profoundly shaped his views on freedom and equality, compelling him to document his story as a means of educating others and invoking change. This remarkable autobiography is highly recommended for those seeking an authentic and profound insight into the life of a formerly enslaved individual. Equiano's eloquence and moral conviction not only invite empathy but also incite critical reflections on humanity's past and the collective responsibility for justice today.

    Book : Siftan Khalsa Raj Diyan 
Author : Harbhajan Singh Cheema 
Historians have provided information in their writings at various times about those diplomats and travelers who came to Punjab during the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and shortly thereafter, but this information has often been very brief. Therefore, through this series of articles, the aim is to share the unbiased firsthand accounts of these diplomats and travelers regarding the Sikh states on the other side of the Sutlej, Punjab, Multan, Sindh, the Sindh river, areas of the Sindh region, Peshawar, Jammu and Kashmir, Kabul, and Central Asia, along with details about the Sikh Empire and Maharaja Ranjit Singh. This effort is made so that readers can feel pride in knowing about the great legacy and fame of their Sikh Empire and also uncover some hidden truths that have remained absent from Sikh history books until now.

    MIND GAMES follows the journey of Phil Jackson to the top of basketball’s coaching hierarchy, a rise that took him from obscurity in the Continental Basketball Association to nine championship rings in the NBA. Along the way he turned multimillionaire players on to meditation, transformed the Michael Jordan-led Chicago Bulls from a one-man show to a five-man team of domination, and after battling with Bulls management, ended one dynasty to start another on the West Coast.Sportswriter Roland Lazenby, author of the bestselling BLOOD ON THE HORNS, reveals the fascinating story of Jackson's life, from his years with the New York Knicks under the legendary Red Holzman to his remarkable nine championships coaching first the Chicago Bulls and then the Los Angeles Lakers.In MIND GAMES Lazenby compellingly portrays a man with a unique determination to control the competitive environment he inhabits. A clear picture of the Jackson mystique emerges: philosopher, teacher, manipulator, counselor, psychologist, shaman, champion, master of mind games.Originally published in 2007, now available in eBook format for the first time.

    Green World - A Tragicomic...

    At twenty-three, Michelle Ephraim was failing at everything. The only child of reclusive Holocaust-survivor parents who were dismayed by her literary studies, she found herself dumped by her boyfriend and bombing out of graduate school. Then, one night, she crashed a Shakespeare recitation party. Loopy from vodka and never having read a single line of Shakespeare, she was transfixed. Shakespeare, she decided, was the lifeline she needed. 
 
 
 
Green World is the hilarious and heartbreaking story of Ephraim's quest to become a Shakespeare scholar and to find community and home. As she studies Shakespeare, Ephraim's world uncannily begins to mirror the story of the Jewish daughter in The Merchant of Venice, and she finds herself in a Green World, an idyllic place where Shakespeare's heroines escape their family trauma. Green World reckons with global, historical, and personal tragedy and shows how literature—comic and tragic—can help us brave every kind of anguish.
