Echoes of Past Mistakes

Pasquale De Marco

Through a meticulous examination of historical case studies and contemporary events, it uncovers the warning signs of impending oppression and the strategies employed by tyrants to consolidate their power.

With incisive analysis, the book explores the psychological and social factors that contribute to the rise of tyranny, shedding light on the role of fear, anger, and disillusionment in driving people towards authoritarian leaders. It also investigates the strategies that tyrants employ to suppress dissent, manipulate the media, and erode democratic institutions, leaving societies vulnerable to their iron grip.

Furthermore, the book delves into the human cost of tyranny, the suffering inflicted upon individuals and communities, and the lasting scars left on societies. It highlights the resilience of the human spirit, the power of nonviolent resistance, and the importance of international solidarity in the fight against oppression.

This book is not merely a historical account of tyranny; it is a call to action, a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and the need to confront the forces that seek to undermine our freedoms. By understanding the nature of tyranny and the lessons of the past, we can work towards building a future where democracy, human rights, and the rule of law prevail.

This book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the rise of authoritarianism and the erosion of democratic values. It is a timely and thought-provoking examination of the dangers of complacency and the importance of fighting for the freedoms we hold dear.

Time to Escape

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
This is a mad, mad world. A world full of crazy humans. Our species is growing at an alarming rate; the globe is warming out of control; our food sources are being depleted; a massive energy crisis is looming and the pressure on each and every one of us to earn more, compete with our peers and look cool is so great that suicide rates are growing faster than ever. 
 
Marry, have two children, hold down a good job, fight for your country, pay your mortgage and drive a petrol guzzling car. What about creativity, freedom, emotions? We are sold to, manipulated by marketing and propaganda, told what and who to believe. We are born and thrown into a bewildering world of control with no options and no purpose other than to feed the machine. 
 
For many it all becomes too much and the pressure forces suicide. But is this the only way to live? No it is not. There are ways to escape the madness of human society. To escape the Queen Bee of capitalism and control. To no longer be a drone. 
 
It is time to jump off.

Norse Mythology: The History of...

Editors Charles River, Andrew Scott

Much of what is known of the Norse myths comes from the 10th century onwards. Until this time and, indeed, for centuries afterwards, Norse culture (particularly that of Iceland, where the myths were eventually transcribed) was an oral culture. In fact, in all Scandinavian countries well into the 13th century laws were memorized by officials known as “Lawspeakers” who recited them at the “Thing.” The Thing was the legislative assembly in Scandinavia “held for judicial purposes.” 
One of the most famous of these Lawspeakers was the Icelander Snorri Sturluson, a masterful writer who wrote the Prose Edda in the thirteenth century. There are other sources for the Norse myths, namely the later “Poetic Edda,” a collection of poems and prose work, and other sagas but the Snorri’s Prose Edda is the most complete work whose attribution is known to modern scholars. 
The Prose Edda is a collection of Norse Myths split into three sections, the Gylfaginning (the Deluding of Gylfi), the Skáldskaparmál (the Language of Poetry) and the Háttatal (the Enumeration of Meters). The first has a frame story that entails a Swedish King, Gylfi, disguising himself as an old man, Gangleri, when he journeys to Asgard to meet the gods. When he arrives, he meets three men - “High One, Just-As-High, and Third” - who reveal to him stories of the world and the gods. The second section contains a warning for Christians not to believe in the Norse gods, specifically the two families, the Aesir and the Vanir, but also refutes the notion that they were demons, which was a common supposition among some Christians at the time. The Prose Edda begins in this line of thought with a euhemeristic prologue, which traces the history of the Norse Gods as human heroes of Troy, making Thor one of King Priam’s sons.
