Sinopse

In "One Year at the Russian Court: 1904-1905," Renée Gaudin de Villaine Maud delivers a compelling firsthand account of life within the opulent walls of the Russian imperial palace during a tumultuous period in history. Blending richly detailed narrative prose with acute observations, the author immerses readers in the lavish yet precarious world of Tsar Nicholas II's court, marked by social upheaval and looming revolution. The book captures the intricate customs and daily rituals of the aristocracy, presenting a vivid portrait of a society on the brink of change, all while engaging with broader themes of power, duty, and decay in early 20th-century Russia. Renée Gaudin de Villaine Maud, a French aristocrat and diplomat's daughter, draws upon her unique background and transient experiences in high society to illuminate the paradoxes of imperial Russia. Her acute insights and observations serve as both an engaging narrative and a historical document, shaped by her intimate position within the court, as well as her keen understanding of the socio-political dynamics of the time. Her nuanced perspective illuminates both the grandeur and the impending doom of a dynasty in decline. I highly recommend "One Year at the Russian Court" to those interested in Russian history, cultural studies, and the intricate dance of court life. This book is not merely a recollection but a vital narrative that transports readers to a pivotal era, enriching our understanding of the complexities of power and privilege. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to grasp the profound undercurrents that eventually led to the Russian Revolution.

    In this entertaining and eye-opening collection, writer, actor, and feminist Tracy Dawson showcases trailblazers throughout history who disguised themselves as men and continuously broke the rules to gain access and opportunities denied them because they were women. 
    “This book will surprise, astonish, and hopefully anger you on the lengths women have had to go to pursue their dreams. Tracy has such a gift for storytelling and making history leap off the page. Her book has a wit that suggests it was written by a man since everyone knows women aren't this funny.”—Kay Cannon, writer, producer, director (the Pitch Perfect films, Cinderella) 
    “A smart, funny journey through history that introduces us to the rule breakers who made history worth traveling through.”—Patton Oswalt, comedian, actor and author 
    “I came up with Tracy as a fellow sketch comedian on the vomit-soaked stages of the Toronto comedy scene. And like the brilliant, resourceful, rule-breaking, damn-well-stubborn sisters in Let Me Be Frank, Tracy is someone who gets the job done, and gets it done well.”—Samantha Bee, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee  
    Let Me Be Frank illuminates with a wry warmth the incredible stories of a diverse group of women from different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds who have defied the patriarchy, refusing to allow men or the status quo to define their lives or break their spirit. An often sardonic and thoroughly impassioned homage to female ingenuity and tenacity, the women profiled in this inspiring anthology broke the rules to reach their goals and refused to take “no” for an answer. These women took matters into their own hands, dressing—sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively—as men to do what they wanted to do. This includes competing in marathons, publishing books, escaping enslavement, practicing medicine, tunneling deep in the earth as miners, taking to the seas as pirates and serving on the frontlines in the military, among many other pursuits. Not only did these women persist, many unknowingly made history and ultimately inspired later generations in doing so. This compendium is an informative and enthralling celebration of these revolutionary badasses who have changed the world and our lives. 
    WOMEN PROFILED INCLUDE: Jeanne Baret * Anne Bonny and Mary Read * Christian Caddell * Ellen Craft * Catalina De Erauso * Louise Augustine Gleizes * Hatshepsut * Annie Hindle and Florence Hines* Pili Hussein * Joan of Arc * Rena “Rusty” Kanokogi * Margaret King * Dorothy Lawrence * Tarpé Mills * Hannah Snell * Kathrine Switzer * Maria Toorpakai * Dr. Mary Edwards Walker * Cathay Williams

    When Fear Speaks Listen - THE 7...

    As election season swirls with fear-based platforms, this book offers a fresh approach to understanding one's personal perceptions of fear and the reactions they cause. Each topic is presented with an Interview, the Good news and the Not-So-Good News, a Mindfulness Practice, and an Affirmation.  
    We’ve all heard the warning at some point in life: “Go ahead. What’s to fear?” Little did we know just how big those words would impact our lives. They were meant to encourage and empower, but over time became engrained in our minds causing doubt and making us wonder, what else is there to fear? This has left some stuck with the same self-destructive fears they’ve had since childhood; fears that now hold them back from success, happiness, peace of mind, and even . . . love. 
    Fear is a natural survival skill that cannot be eliminated from our psyche—nor should it be because it’s a part of our inner fabric. So then, how do we grow and achieve the greatness life has to offer if our inherent fears keep trying to undermine us, to slow us down and divert us? We live in a world of mass media coverage and social networks that view the world with divisive intentions and opposing beliefs all in an effort to stir fear and build support. Instead of surrendering to our fears and obeying them, perhaps it’s time to listen and learn.Dennis Merritt Jones, DD has been practicing and teaching New Thought principles for over 40 years. These lessons serve to help people understand how their true inner nature can thrive and prosper in the real world where others tend to make it difficult to succeed. In this timely new book, When Fear Speaks, Listen, Dr. Dennis has identified the dominant “7 Messengers of Fear” that are alive and active within us: ANGER, WORRY, JUDGEMENT, SELFISHNESS, SHAME, LONELINESS, AND UNCERTAINTY
