Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In this captivating exploration of the urban experience, we journey into the heart of the city, a place of endless fascination and complexity. Through the eyes of its diverse inhabitants, we witness the kaleidoscope of human life that unfolds within its concrete canyons.

From the bustling streets to the hidden corners, the city pulsates with a unique energy, a symphony of sounds, smells, and sights that both exhilarate and overwhelm. It is a place of dreams and aspirations, where people from all walks of life come to reinvent themselves, to chase their fortunes, and to find their place in the world.

Yet, the city also has a darker side, a hidden underbelly of poverty, crime, and despair. It is a place where the gap between rich and poor is stark, where the powerful prey on the vulnerable, and where the marginalized struggle to survive.

But even in the midst of adversity, the human spirit shines through. In the city, we find resilience, hope, and a remarkable capacity for connection. We witness acts of kindness and compassion that remind us of our shared humanity. We see communities coming together to overcome challenges and create a better future for all.

This book is an ode to the city, a celebration of its vibrancy, its diversity, and its indomitable spirit. It is an exploration of the human condition, a reflection on the choices we make, the relationships we forge, and the legacy we leave behind.

With its rich tapestry of characters and its evocative prose, this book captures the essence of the urban experience, inviting readers to ponder the complexities of city life and to discover the beauty and resilience that can be found even in the most challenging of circumstances.

Ancient History - Historical...

Kelly Mass

This bundle consists of 2 books:
Ancient Greece: Thanks to ancient Greece, we know more about philosophy, politics, the democratic system, mythology, art, the Olympics, and many, many lingual references imbedded in almost every European language. Ancient Greece has had a significant impact on many concepts we still hold true today.
Ancient Greece was a northeastern Mediterranean society that existed from the 12th-9th centuries BC till the end of classical antiquity (c. AD 600). It was made up of a loose collection of culturally and linguistically associated city-states and other areas that were only combined once, under Alexander the Great's empire, for 13 years (336-323 BC). Classical antiquity was quickly followed by the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine period in Western history.
Ancient Egypt: When we think of Ancient Egypt, we picture movies with mazes, pyramids, traps, mummies, and symbols. And although some of these things were definitely part of it, there is so much more to this ancient civilization.
Ancient Egypt was a North African society that grew in the lower banks of the Nile River, in what's now the nation of Egypt. Following ancient Egypt, old Egyptian civilization culminated circa 3100 BC (according to basic Egyptian chronology) with Menes' political marriage of Upper and Lower Egypt (usually related to Narmer). The Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age, and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age formed a series of steady kingdoms split up by periods of relative instability called Intermediate Durations.

I No Longer Dream

Michael Brandt

In 2018, I suffered a massive cerebral stroke at the age of 24 after cracking my neck. I woke up in a hospital with little knowledge of myself, the world, or any grounding in reality because of the damage to my brain along with left-sided paralysis. I am not the person I was before and though I want to be them again I can't and must bury them, grieve, and start over. This is how I came to terms with my new existence while letting go of my past, not because I want to but because it is a requirement to move forward.

Atrocity on the Atlantic -...

Nate Hendley

How a German submarine sank a Canadian military hospital ship during the First World War and sparked outrage. 
 
 
 
On the evening of June 27, 1918, the Llandovery Castle—an unarmed, clearly marked hospital ship used by the Canadian military—was torpedoed off the Irish Coast by U-Boat 86, a German submarine. 
 
 
 
Sinking hospital ships violated international law. To conceal his actions, the U-86 commander had the submarine deck guns fire on survivors. One lifeboat escaped with witnesses to the atrocity. Global outrage over the attack ensued. 
 
 
 
The sinking of the Llandovery Castle was adjudicated at the Leipzig War Crimes Trials, an attempt to establish justice after hostilities ceased. The Llandovery Castle case resulted in a historic legal precedent that guided subsequent war crime prosecutions, including the Nuremberg Trials. 
 
 
 
Atrocity on the Atlantic explores the Llandovery Castle sinking, the people impacted by the attack, and the reasons why this wartime atrocity was largely forgotten.
