Sinopse

In "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime: A Study of Duty," Oscar Wilde ventures into the realms of dark humor and satirical critique, embodying the societal mores of Victorian England within a captivating narrative. The novella juxtaposes the conventions of duty and intent through the lens of aristocratic crime, as Lord Arthur contemplates an ominous prophecy that sets him on a collision course with morality and obligation. Wilde's witty prose and incisive observations illuminate the absurdities of social expectations, blending elements of the comic and the grotesque—a hallmark of his broader literary canon that seeks to challenge the status quo while delighting the reader with his characteristic flair for paradox and paradoxical characters. Wilde, a prominent figure of the Aesthetic Movement, often used his own experiences and cultural critique as a backdrop for his works. His explorations of beauty, ethics, and the duality of human nature stemmed from a life that oscillated between societal acclaim and personal scandal. "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime" emerges from a period of Wilde's career where he deftly critiques the very societal structures that both courted and condemned him, adding depth and urgency to its seemingly lighthearted premise. This novella is a must-read for anyone delving into the complexities of duty and individual will in a constrained society. Wilde's sophisticated arch humor and profound insights encourage readers to reflect on the moral dilemmas of their own lives while enjoying a narrative rich with irony and societal critique. A perfect blend of entertainment and intellectual challenge awaits in this masterful work.

    "Here inside of my second book, you will hear more stories from the gallery of my life. I am a special gentleman from Southern California living with disabilities - I was diagnosed with both cerebral palsy and scoliosis as a toddler. I am a writer who uses an augmentative alternative communication (AAC) device to speak. I wrote this sequel so that I could share more of my life with you, chronicling events from shortly after my high school graduation in 1991 all the way up to my 40th birthday in 2010. To fully appreciate my story, you'll need to read my first book "The Life of Alberto (Volume One)" so that you may follow my steps from the beginning. This second volume of my autobiography will take you through many of the humorous and memorable moments of my adult life. I am dedicating this book in loving memory of my father, Norm Baston. I hope that you find my experience as wonderful as I have. -Alberto Baston"

    Chef Charlie Hunter is just trying for mindfulness and a work/life balance, if such a thing is ever possible in the context of a busy professional kitchen.

    Even more disruptive is the attack on a well known writer in Charlie's quiet Chilterns village of Hampden Green, and the arrest of the village's own celebrity shock jock. Charlie finds herself dealing with more than she can cope with, and never sure where the next attack will come from. Then mere backstabbing turns to murder…

    The Most Lucrative YouTube Niches and Gaining 1,000 Subscribers on a Low Budget 
    This book is crafted to detail the journey to success on YouTube and to outline strategies for building a substantial audience, even with limited budgets. By predicting which niches will be the most profitable in 2025, it provides content creators with both a creative and strategic roadmap. 
    Emphasizing that YouTube isn't just a source of entertainment or information but can also be the launchpad for a professional career, this book views YouTube as a platform where everyone can author their own success story.  
    I launched my YouTube channel in English to reach a wider audience, choosing "Comedy History" as my niche.  
    My first video didn't go viral, so I adapted my strategy. I focused on countries with large YouTube user bases: India, the US, the Philippines, and the UK. With just $200, I used Google Ads to promote a video humorously reenacting historical events, targeting English-speaking viewers.  
    This approach led to 2,000 subscribers in 14 days, proving how strategic targeting and quality content can grow a channel even on a low budget.  
    Every Stage of the Content Creation Process 
    Content Creation with Artificial Intelligence 
    It delves into how AI can revolutionize content production, discussing available tools and how to achieve the best outcomes with them.  
    Content Quality and Consistency 
    Focus is placed on the quality and consistency of content as key factors in encouraging viewers to return to your channel. Creating a content calendar and its contribution to channel growth are also central themes.

    This book wrote itself.  
    The symbols you're about to encounter don't correspond to reality. If you find similarities, they're yours alone, birthed by the twisted logic of your imagination. This books isn't for you - it's about you. You, the reader, the listener, the doubter, whose brain insists on making sense of the nonsense. 
    Everything in this book - the voices, the stories, the dreams - is an artifact of the mind's detritus. coincidence reigns, relentless and unyielding, its throne bolstered by the mirage of meaning we all crave. Like the faint violinist on the platform of South Kensington, drawing a crowd of ghosts with no bodies, its music lingers, tugging at the edges of your reality.
