Sinopse

Oscar Wilde's "The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde" compiles the unparalleled genius of one of the most provocative literary figures of the late 19th century. This anthology presents Wilde's rich repertoire, including plays, poetry, essays, and his solitary novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray." Wilde's distinctive style, characterized by his sharp wit, vibrant language, and exploration of aestheticism and moral ambiguity, challenges societal norms and invites readers to probe deeper into themes of beauty, decadence, and the complexities of human nature. The collection not only reflects the literary context of the Victorian era but also serves as a critique of its hypocrisy and repression. Wilde, an icon of both the literary and social circles, was known for his flamboyant personality and profound insight into life'Äôs contradictions. His own experiences with societal judgments and personal trials'Äîparticularly his imprisonment due to his sexuality'Äîdeeply informed his writing. Hence, this anthology can be seen as a testament to his struggle against societal constraints, revealing the vulnerabilities beneath his wit and charm. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde" to those who seek not only to enjoy exquisite literature but to engage with a mind that challenges us to embrace the beauty of life's complexities and contradictions.

    Making God Part of Your Family Volume 3 strives to bring God’s plan to life for individuals and their families as He chose to reveal these truths through the stories in the Old Testament.Most would agree that the Old Testament stories can be difficult to relate to and understand. Veteran Bible teacher Michael Grady retells the Old Testament stories in concise, thought-provoking doses that are easy to understand and intended to stimulate family discussions. He demonstrates that the Old Testament stories are much more than just a history of the Israelites (God’s chosen family); they are parables detailing God’s guide to living and his eternal plan for redemption and salvation for all who choose to believe. The stories in Making God Part of Your Family Volume 3 provide a unique combination—they are both simple enough for children to understand and deep enough for parents to grow in the knowledge and wisdom of God’s Word. This vibrant, yet carefully researched volume brings families closer together and helps them clearly establish their identity as children of God and brothers and sisters of Jesus.

    A fully revised and updated edition of Nigel Lawson's extraordinary autobiography. A key minister for a full decade and Chancellor of the Exchequer, from 1983 to 1989, Nigel Lawson was one of the most powerful and effective of Margaret Thatcher's colleagues, and among the chief architects of Thatcherism. This abridged edition of Lord Lawson's memoirs - first published as The View from No.11 in 1992 and acclaimed as one of the best political memoirs of the period - goes straight to the heart of economic policy-making at a time of crisis and creative change. It explains the workings of government with candour, clarity and depth, against the backdrop of the remarkable story of the rise and fall of his political collaboration with Margaret Thatcher, productive and successful for many years, but ending with his dramatic resignation in October 1989.The book includes a new final chapter reflecting on events from the perspective of 2010, also discussing the crisis in the banking sector and global warming.

    In April 1945, German troops withdrawing from the Seelow Heights were encircled by the Soviet Army near the small town of Halbe, south-east of Berlin. Rather than surrender, their orders were to attempt to break out, westward, and join up with the German twelfth Army. A brutal battle ensued, with an estimated 30,000 German and 20,000 Russian soldiers killed, along with thousands of civilians. 
     
     
     
    This collection of first-hand accounts tells the story of the battle and its aftermath from the German perspective. It is an eclectic mix, containing the recollections of ordinary soldiers, SS-men and men of the Panzer Divisions, as well as civilians caught up in the battle as they attempted to flee ahead of the advancing armies. It brings to life the grim realities of this one-sided engagement, revealing the brutal vengeance of the Soviets and the desperation to escape the slaughter. 
     
     
     
    Translated into English for the first time, this is an important insight into this devastating and little-known aspect of World War II history.

    Ecce Homo

    Friedrich Nietzsche

    Ecce Homo is a philosophical autobiography written by Friedrich Nietzsche towards the end of his life. In this work, Nietzsche reflects on his life, his philosophical views, and his legacy. The title, which means "behold the man" in Latin, is taken from Pontius Pilate's words when he presents Jesus to the crowd before his crucifixion. Nietzsche uses this phrase to present himself as a kind of messiah of a new philosophy, proclaiming the birth of a new era of thought. Ecce Homo is a complex and challenging work that has been interpreted in many different ways. Some readers see it as a celebration of Nietzsche's life and ideas, while others view it as a cautionary tale about the dangers of radical individualism. Regardless of how it is interpreted, however, Ecce Homo remains an important and influential work in the history of philosophy. Read in English, unabridged.
