Descent into Darkness - Unraveling the Heart of Africa

Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In the heart of Africa, a tragedy of unimaginable proportions unfolded—a genocide that shattered a nation and left an indelible scar on the world's conscience. This book delves into the darkness of that chapter, exposing the roots of the conflict, the horrors of the violence, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of despair.

With gripping detail and poignant storytelling, this book chronicles the descent into chaos, the systematic extermination of a people, and the international community's failure to act. It exposes the failures of diplomacy, the complicity of silence, and the devastating consequences of indifference.

But this book is more than just a history of darkness. It is also a testament to the power of hope, the resilience of the human spirit, and the possibility of redemption. It tells the stories of survivors, their harrowing accounts of loss and suffering, and their unwavering determination to rebuild their lives.

It examines the long and difficult road to justice, the challenges of reconciliation, and the ongoing struggle to heal the wounds of the past. It explores the role of the international community in preventing future atrocities and the importance of learning from the lessons of history.

This book is a clarion call for action, a reminder that we must never forget the victims of genocide and that we must always stand up against tyranny and oppression. It is a powerful indictment of indifference and a passionate plea for compassion and understanding.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the dark corners of human history and the indomitable spirit of those who survived it. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope can prevail.

The Prince (Hero Classics)

Niccolo Machiavelli

Part of the Hero Classics series
“Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.”
The Prince is generally labelled as a cynical and overly pragmatic account of gaining and retaining political power. It is a significant deviation from the righteous meditations of Plato and Aristotle, which emphasise the goodness of human nature. Living in a harsh political climate, Machiavelli devised a more practical and true-to-life guide for leaders who cannot possibly be always good and just. For instance, he talks among other things about the importance to inflict pain all at once but distribute the rewards available gradually and in limited amounts. Besides, the idea that ‘the ends justify the means’ had never been featured in literature so prominently and openly before. Far-fetched at first glance, Machiavelli’s insights after some analysis starts making practical sense when every state and society need to maintain one thing – stability.
Although not idealistic, the text is undeniably valid as we can easily track the Prince’s features in the best and the worst political leaders of the previous century who are united by the amount of power they were able to exerts – from political heroes such as Churchill and JFK to fascist and communist dictators. In the modern world, The Prince is a viable manual of conduct more than ever with the intense demand for competitiveness not only in the political but equally in business and other spheres.
The text is also famous for being written in the vernacular rather than in classical Latin. What might surprise modern readers is that, actually, this peculiarity halted the text’s dissemination across Europe as most translations were still done from Latin. The text nevertheless has reached its audience and become one of the most recognizable and accessible reads on politics and leadership.

Utopia (Hero Classics)

Thomas More

Part of the Hero Classics series 
Utopia is a distant island where the inhabitants are thriving and justice and reason prevail, in contrast to the realities of sixteenth-century Europe, where greed, superstition and unenlightened tradition reign. Using the framework of a traveller’s account to a fictional land, Thomas More created an ingenious treatise which envisioned a more humanist approach to laws and social structures, and coined the now common term “utopia”.

Teen Time - Working Out What You...

Helen Middleton

There are many challenges in the teenage years. Young people often feel pressure to achieve at school. They struggle to negotiate social intricacies. They battle to understand and deal with their own internal emotional world. 
And, on top of all this, they ponder how they will carve out their future. 
Teen Time is written for teenagers. Topics of interest are easily selected and the reader is encouraged to consider a range of perspectives for situations they find challenging. 
Covering a wide range of issues presented frequently in counselling sessions by 13-17 year olds, Teen Time invites teenagers to make time for self-reflection, and to consider alternative possibilities, rather than acting on impulse. It encourages them to choose how they want to be in every area of their life. 
Helen Middleton, a psychologist in private practice, draws on her extensive experience in working with young people as a teacher, secondary school Guidance Officer, gestalt and family therapist. She addresses the hopes and concerns commonly expressed by teenagers. This user-friendly guide is judgement-free, practical, and relatable. 
Because it details the many issues confronting teenagers, Teen Time is also a valuable resource for parents, teachers, beginning counsellors, social workers, and youth workers. 
About the Author

The Tao Te Ching 101 - a modern...

Matthew Barnes

TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE WITH THE TAO TE CHING, SIMPLIFIED! 
Learn to work with the principles of the universe instead of against them. 
Imagine having an “instruction manual for life”; one that could simultaneously enhance both the everyday practical aspects of your existence as well as the spiritual. What would your life look like then? How would it feel? 
Dr. Matthew Barnes, chemist, biochemist, doctor, and bestselling author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Hermetica 101, The Kybalion 101, The Bhagavad Gita 101, and Jesus Christ, Zen Master, presents his interpretation of the Tao Te Ching. And he does so in a way that is “lovely” and “easier to understand”. (Quotes are from reader's reviews). 
What makes this translation different is that it is a modern, simplified interpretation. One that updates the ancient language to a more modern understanding, yet without touching the spirit of Lao Tzu’s timeless work, or altering his guidance towards working with the principles of the universe instead of against them. 
“If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place.” (Lao Tzu)
