Summary

In the heart of Brazil's vast and rugged sertão, a forgotten chapter of history unfolds, a tale of unwavering faith, bitter betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. The year is 1897, and the remote settlement of Canudos stands as a beacon of hope for the downtrodden and dispossessed. Led by the charismatic and enigmatic Antonio Conselheiro, a community of faithful gather, seeking solace and salvation amidst a world torn by strife.

Yet, as the winds of change sweep across the nation, Canudos finds itself caught in the crosshairs of a brewing conflict. The fledgling republic, eager to assert its dominance, views the settlement as a hotbed of rebellion. Accusations of heresy and sedition echo through the halls of power, and the seeds of discord are sown.

As tensions escalate, the government dispatches a formidable military force to crush the perceived threat. A brutal and bloody siege ensues, transforming the once serene sertão into a battlefield of unspeakable horrors. Canudos, a sanctuary for the marginalized, becomes a symbol of resistance against oppression.

The Day of Reckoning is a gripping historical saga that delves into the depths of human nature, exploring the complexities of faith, the resilience of the human spirit, and the profound impact of historical events on the lives of ordinary people. It is a story that resonates across time, a reminder that the pursuit of justice and reconciliation is an eternal struggle, an ongoing journey towards a brighter future.

With vivid prose and meticulous research, The Day of Reckoning brings to life a forgotten chapter of Brazilian history, shedding light on the human toll of conflict and the enduring power of hope. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, religion, or the human condition.

    Did you know that the Dutch were some of the first who came up with stocks? They were also known for their gigantic fleet, their ships, their colonies, and so much more. The 17th century was a golden age, a golden century for the Dutch, who discovered how to go to the new world in Asia, America, and other continents to transport spices, minerals, and other materials.The Dutch East India Company, officially the United East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost Indische Compagnie; VOC), was a megacorporation created in the early 17th century by a government-directed merger of many competing Dutch trade services.You might think that Amazon or Google is big, but the VOC is still thought to be the world's biggest corporation in documented history. It was established on March 20th, 1602, as a chartered business to trade with Mughal India in the early contemporary period, from which it imported 50% of fabrics and 80% of silks, mostly from the Bengal Subah area. In addition, when the Dutch federal government rewarded it a 21-year monopoly on the Dutch spice trade, the business traded with Indianized Southeast Asian nations.Find out more about this by going through this book.

    'Close to a miracle... The Shortest History of the Soviet Union is an immensely readable overview of the entire history of the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1991, full of anecdotes and lively detail, but also meeting the highest academic standards' Slavoj ŽižekThe U.S.S.R. A nation that arrived in the world accidentally, and departed unexpectedly. Over a century after the Russian Revolution, the tumultuous history of the Soviet Union continues to fascinate us and influence global politics.
From revolution and Lenin to Stalin's Terror, from World War II to glasnost, this is an authoritative distillation of 75 years of communist rule, and the disintegration of an empire.Fitzpatrick charts the fate of countries often left out of Soviet histories, gives vivid portraits of key figures, and traces the aftermath of the regime's sudden collapse. She explores the rise of the oligarchs, the rebirth of the Church and the enigmatic figure of Vladimir Putin: a Soviet creation but no Soviet nostalgic. Lastly, she considers the future of Communism. Who still worships Marx and Lenin? What lessons has today's superpower, China, learned from yesterday's Soviet failure?
