Synopsis

In the realm of ancient civilizations, few names evoke as much intrigue and fascination as those of Troy and Mycenae. These legendary cities, immortalized in the epic tales of Homer and the myths of ancient Greece, have captured the imagination of countless generations.

This book takes you on a captivating journey through the discovery and exploration of Troy and Mycenae, shedding light on the archaeological marvels that brought these ancient worlds to life. Through the eyes of Heinrich Schliemann, the enigmatic figure who dedicated his life to uncovering their secrets, we delve into the controversies and triumphs that shaped our understanding of these legendary civilizations.

Step into the world of Troy, where Schliemann's unwavering belief in Homer's Iliad led him to uncover the ruins of the city and unearth the treasures that lay beneath its soil. Witness the grandeur of Mycenae, with its monumental Lion Gate and elaborate tombs filled with gold and jewels, offering a glimpse into the wealth and power of its ancient rulers.

But beyond the excitement of discovery, this book also explores the complexities and controversies that surrounded Schliemann's work. Accusations of fraud and deception cast a shadow over his findings, sparking debates that continue to this day. We delve into the evidence and arguments, examining the authenticity of Schliemann's discoveries and the impact they have had on our understanding of the ancient world.

This book is not just a recounting of archaeological discoveries; it is an exploration of the enduring legacy of Troy and Mycenae. Their stories have inspired countless works of art, literature, and music, capturing the imagination of people across cultures and generations. We trace the enduring fascination with these ancient cities, examining how they have shaped our understanding of history, culture, and the human experience.

Join us on this captivating journey through the world of Troy and Mycenae, where archaeological discoveries intertwine with myth, legend, and controversy. Gain a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of our shared human heritage and the enduring power of the ancient world to captivate and inspire.

The Theory of Evolution is a Joke

Danny Erhardt

Danny Erhardt, a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, has sought the truth, and fortuitously found it. You can too. If you seek it with all your heart. If you love the truth more than the opinions and conclusions that are already in your head. The lies of Satan ("the great deceiver who goes forth to deceive the whole world") cover this earth like a blanket, and people believe whatever they are taught. (Evolution is one of them...) What lies have you been taught? have you learned to hold dear? ...Danny is father to a half dozen boys and girls, and grandfather to a little more than half a dozen.  
If you have any unintelligent criticisms or thoughtless attacks on the truth, to share, please send them to our Complaint Dept. Administrator, Mrs. Helen Waite. Go to her if you feel the need to vent any or all of the evolutionary indoctrinated lies that we were all fed, and that unfortunately too many still believe. Also, if anyone is offended by any, or all, of the accurate scientific truths and realities imparted here, then please bang your face against your bathroom mirror for about half an hour, and then hide under your mommy's bed for a couple of weeks. This should help.  
Well, thank you so much for picking up a copy of this book, or considering doing the same. It's called the truth. And may God (you know, the actual Creator of all of this) richly bless you and yours.

Open Secret An - The Family...

Nicholas L. Syrett

In 1922 Robert Allerton—described by the Chicago Tribune as the “richest bachelor in Chicago”—met a twenty-two-year-old University of Illinois architecture student named John Gregg, who was twenty-six years his junior. Virtually inseparable from then on, they began publicly referring to one another as father and son within a couple years of meeting. In 1960, after nearly four decades together, and with Robert Allerton nearing ninety, they embarked on a daringly nonconformist move: Allerton legally adopted the sixty-year-old Gregg as his son, the first such adoption of an adult in Illinois history. 
 
An Open Secret tells the striking story of these two iconoclasts, locating them among their queer contemporaries and exploring why becoming father and son made a surprising kind of sense for a twentieth-century couple who had every monetary advantage but one glaring problem: they wanted to be together publicly in a society that did not tolerate their love. Deftly exploring the nature of their design, domestic, and philanthropic projects, Nicholas L. Syrett illuminates how viewing the Allertons as both a same-sex couple and an adopted family is crucial to understanding their relationship’s profound queerness. By digging deep into the lives of two men who operated largely as ciphers in their own time, he opens up provocative new lanes to consider the diversity of kinship ties in modern US history.

Czech Glory Hole Massacre

Haely Bare

After a brutal assault in NYC, Haely moves to San Francisco to try and reinvent herself. Unfortunately, she isn’t prepared to teach in the men’s county jail, and all the inmates know it. Drawn into a reckless romance with Ghost, a charming but calculating burglar she meets inside, Haely's obsession with uncovering his disturbing secrets thrusts her into a waking nightmare of drugs and violence, from which she may not survive. 
Meanwhile in Prague, frat boy Otto Tepidstein grapples with the emotional fallout of having been cheated on. His quest for unattainable justice leads him down a Kafka-esque rabbit hole into Prague's gritty underworld of sexual depravity. There he has a chance encounter with Milka, a phlebotomist seemingly out of place in the world of sex work. 
When an unsettling video surfaces on a porn site, depicting unspeakable acts, the twisted connections between these four troubled souls leads each one to their own irreversible fate. 
In this lurid tale, based on true events, we discover that no matter our backgrounds, we all stand on the brink—one poor choice away from an abyss of self-destruction from which there is no return. As Nietzsche said, "sometimes you stare into the hole, and sometimes the hole stares back."
