Sinopse

In 'Philosophic Nights in Paris,' Remy de Gourmont offers a mesmerizing exploration of the intersection between philosophy, literature, and the vibrant culture of early 20th-century Paris. Written in a contemplative and poetic prose style, the book captures the essence of nocturnal Parisian encounters, illuminating the thoughts and emotions of its inhabitants. Gourmont intertwines philosophical musings with captivating narratives, inviting the reader to ponder existential questions while navigating the rich tapestry of the city's intellectual milieu, influenced by Symbolism and avant-garde movements of the time. Remy de Gourmont, a prominent figure of the French literary scene, was deeply immersed in the ideas of his day, often challenging established norms through his work. His background in philosophy, literature, and his relationships with key figures in the Symbolist movement significantly shaped 'Philosophic Nights in Paris.' Gourmont's keen observations and psychological insights reflect his own existential contemplations and the cultural transformations occurring in France, making the book a profound representation of his thought. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of the philosophical undercurrents of Parisian life, 'Philosophic Nights in Paris' is an essential read. Gourmont's eloquent prose and penetrating observations invite you to engage with a historical moment that resonates with timeless human inquiries, making this book not just a reflection of a specific era but a treasure trove of philosophical thought.

    Here we are! You have managed to get a job interview by dint of sending CVs like an automatic machine gun! 
    The time has come! After so much wandering, a company has decided to see you first-hand! 
    All the hours spent filing your resume beyond belief, every evening spent behind the PC sifting through job offers, have finally served a purpose! 
    But now? 
    What to do? 
    At school, at university, no one taught you how to approach a job interview. 
    Panic: what answer and how to answer to the questions, talk little or a lot, dress elegant or sober, remain motionless or move with the body, shake hands or not, browse the company's website or get to the interview in a naive way, in order to be yourself? 
    If we would like to give an answer to all the mental blowjobs that will turn in your head, we just have to say that the truth is simple, damn simple. 
    But, as usual, when something is too simple, we don't consider it a viable option! 
    I'll tell you the secret right away! 
    To successfully pass a job interview, you need study, method and experience: 
    - study, because we need to examine our potential employer thoroughly, understand what he is looking for and what he expects from us 
    - method, because without a plan you can't go anywhere. Don't improvise. Train like a boxer. You are on the ring, and that employment contract must be yours! 
    - experience, because the first few times you will miss it. You will be discarded. Not because you're not good for that job, but because you still won't have the experience of a commander who has won 100 battles. It is normal, do not be discouraged. The sooner you understand where you went wrong in the first few battles, the sooner you will start winning! 
    Are you there so far? 
    Well, you are ready to listen to the audiobook!

    Inside the Gas Chambers - Eight...

    Shlomo Venezia

    Slomo Venezia was born into a poor Jewish-Italian community living in Thessaloniki, Greece. At first, the occupying Italians protected his family; but when the Germans invaded, the Venezias were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and sisters disappeared on arrival, and he learned, at first with disbelief, that they had almost certainly been gassed. Given the chance to earn a little extra bread, he agreed to become a 'Sonderkommando', without realizing what this entailed. He soon found himself a member of the 'special unit' responsible for removing the corpses from the gas chambers and burning their bodies. 
     
     
     
    Dispassionately, he details the grim round of daily tasks, evokes the terror inspired by the man in charge of the crematoria, 'Angel of Death' Otto Moll, and recounts the attempts made by some of the prisoners to escape, including the revolt of October 1944. 
     
     
     
    It is usual to imagine that none of those who went into the gas chambers at Auschwitz ever emerged to tell their tale—but, as a member of a 'Sonderkommando', Shlomo Venezia was given this horrific privilege. He knew that, having witnessed the unspeakable, he in turn would probably be eliminated by the SS in case he ever told his tale. He survived: this is his story.

    What Is Property? - An Inquiry...

    Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

    ‘Property is Theft’, a phrase which has passed into common parlance, was the rallying call of Pierre-Joseph Proudhon’s political treatise What Is Property? Proudhon (1809-1865) was both admired and excoriated. A political theorist of the first order, he was vilified in his native France by the Communists and the Monarchists alike, though admired by Karl Marx as well as many in the nation’s academia and judiciary who valued the clarity of his thought and analytical method.  
     
    He criticised both Right and Left (the very definition of French political thinking), describing them as two sides of the same coin. Their solutions to society’s ills, he said, were like Thesis and Antithesis, based on a common error and both inadequate to the task of healing society. He offered, instead, a third way, which he called his Synthesis. Regarded as the founder of modern Anarchism, his aim was not to engender chaos, as the word anarchy often connotes, but to suggest a workable, political, and economic foundation for society which would promote order and equity for all under the most unfettered conditions of individual liberty.  
     
    Proudhon grew up in poverty, and was home schooled as a child, but received a bursary in his youth sufficient to allow him to attend the City College in his home town (though not sufficient, it seems, to buy him shoes). There, he discovered the library which introduced him to a world, classical and contemporary, previously denied him. Lacking wealth or contacts, he worked variously as a printer, a compositor and proof-reader by day and an essayist by night, learning Latin along the way to assist in his work. In 1830, a friend, a scholar, invited Proudhon to join him in Paris to pursue his philosophical writings full time. When a cholera outbreak forced his return home, Proudhon spent the next few years juggling his two careers. In 1839, he applied for a pension (bursary) at the Academy of Besançon which obliged him to write works on its behalf.  
     
    What Is Property?, published in France in 1840, was his first. It was so controversial that little else followed. However, it established his reputation, and he was eventually able to pursue his philosophical work full time. What Is Property? (First Memoir) attempts to uncover the roots of poverty and associated social ills and examines different attitudes to poverty and wealth from the Greeks to the present day. Proudhon quickly identifies a common thread, property, which he distinguishes from possession, and argues that only a fundamental, though gradual, abandonment of property (as an asset) and all that flows from it, can rescue society from its current conflicts. The memoir seeks to illuminate the underlying causes of war, poverty, slavery, and oppression and points the way to a solution. In effect, it is a practical manual for the survival of mankind. The Second Memoir (1841), included on this recording, is Proudhon’s response to the criticisms of the First Memoir, initially uncomprehending and then self-assured by turns. What Is Property? is Proudhon’s masterwork. It divides opinion, but no one who hears it can come away with their view of their own world unchanged.

    The first-person account of how a small band of Green Berets used horses and laser-guided bombs to overthrow the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan after 9/11. 
     
     
     
    They landed in a dust storm so thick the chopper pilot used dead reckoning and a guess to find the ground. Welcomed by a band of heavily armed militiamen, they climbed a mountain on horseback to meet the most ferocious warlord in Asia. They plotted a war of nineteenth-century maneuvers against a twenty-first-century foe. They trekked through minefields, sometimes past the mangled bodies of local tribesmen who'd shared food with them hours before. They saved babies and treated fractures, sewed up wounded who'd been transported from the battlefield by donkey. They found their enemy hiding in thick bunkers, dodged bullets from machine-gun-laden pickup trucks, and survived mass rocket attacks from vintage Soviet-era launchers. They battled the Taliban while mediating blood feuds between rival allies. They fought with everything they had, from smart bombs to AK-47s.The men they helped called them brothers. Hollywood called them the Horse Soldiers. 
     
     
     
    They called themselves Green Berets—Special Forces ODA 595.
