  In the novel Little Women, Mr. March goes off to war. But in real life, it was Jo March (Louisa May Alcott herself, an avowed abolitionist) who traveled to Washington to nurse Northern soldiers. This is Alcott’s memoir but she chose to use the pseudonym “Tribulation Periwinkle” to tell her story. 
  Despite the subject matter, her account is full of amusing anecdotes as she makes her way alone from Concord, Massachusetts to DC, trying to finagle a free ticket and convinced she will drown during the journey. Profiles of the soldiers she tended are full of compassion, pathos, and even a bit of humor. The book was hugely popular among those at home eager for war news. Its publication introduced Alcott’s unique voice to the public and launched the career of a great American writer. Sharp-eared listeners will discover that the names and personalities of three soldiers were inspirations for characters in Little Women.

  Love Sexuality and Matriarchy -...

  "[A] fascinating collection of essays" on the complicated relations between men and women from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Art of Loving (The New York Times Book Review). 
   
   
    
  The renowned social psychologist delves deep into the fraught relationship between genders, drawing upon the influential insights of Bachofen, Freud, Marx, and Briffault. Not primarily interested in the existence of anatomical and biological differences between the sexes, Fromm instead analyzes how these differences have been made use of throughout human history. Drawing from Bachofen's Mother Right, Fromm expounds on how matriarchal and patriarchal social structures determine relations between the sexes in essential ways, and how they are shaped by the dominant orientation of the social character at any given time. He posits that the most important question concerning gender relations is which characterological orientation determines human relationships: love or hate, love of life or fascination with force. Thus, it will not be gender conflict that will determine humanity's future but whether we opt for love of life or love of death.

  Igaz történelmi igazságok – rejtett tények, amelyeket soha nem tanítottak 
  Egy gyűjtemény valós eseményekből, elfeledett részletekből és kényelmetlen igazságokból, amelyeket csendben kihagytak a hivatalos történetből. 
  Ez a hangoskönyv olyan igazolt történelmi tényeket hoz össze, amelyek ritkán jelennek meg iskolai könyvekben vagy mainstream narratívákban. Minden fejezet feltár egy pillanatot, amikor a valóság furcsább, keményebb vagy feltáróbb volt, mint a kidolgozott változat, amit tanítottak. Ezek nem elméletek, nem találgatások vagy dramatizálások — csak dokumentált események, világosan és díszítés nélkül bemutatva. 
  Felfedezheted:elhanyagolt döntések, amelyek megváltoztatták a nemzetek sorsátRejtett motivációk ismert történelmi személyek mögöttKisebb események, amelyek súlyos következményeket váltottak kiolyan igazságokat, amelyeket az idő múlásával leegyszerűsítettek, meglágyítottak vagy töröltek 
  A cél egyszerű: visszaállítani a méltóságot a valódi történelemben azzal, hogy úgy mutatjuk be, ahogy ténylegesen történt — szűretlenül, őszintén, emberi. 
  Ha értékeled a tisztaságot, az autentikusságot és a saját magukban álló tényeket, ez az audiokönyv közvetlen utat kínál a világ megértéséhez, ahogy valójában volt.

  The Lost Art of Dying - Reviving...

  L.S. Dugdale

  A Columbia University physician inspires us to rethink death and offers insights on how we can learn to embrace the art of dying well in this wise, clear-eyed book that is as compelling and soulful as Being Mortal, When Breath Becomes Air, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. 
   
  As a specialist in both medical ethics and the treatment of older patients, Dr. Lydia Dugdale knows a great deal about the end of life. Far too many of us die poorly, she argues. Our culture has overly medicalized death: dying is often institutional and sterile, prolonged by unnecessary resuscitations and other intrusive interventions. We are not going gently into that good night—our reliance on modern medicine can actually prolong suffering and strip us of our dignity. Yet our lives do not have to end this way. 
  Centuries ago, in the wake of the Black Plague, a text was published offering advice to help the living prepare for a good death. Written during the late Middle Ages, Ars moriendi—The Art of Dying—made clear that to die well, one first had to live well. When Dugdale discovered this Medieval book, it was a revelation. Inspired by its holistic approach to the final stage we must all one day face, she draws from this forgotten work, combining its wisdom with the knowledge she has gleaned from her long medical career. The Lost Art of Dying is filled with much-needed insight and thoughtful guidance that will change our perceptions. Dr. Dugdale offers a hopeful perspective on death and dying as she shows us how to adapt the wisdom from the past to our lives today.  
  Part of living well means preparing for the end, Dr. Dugdale reminds us. By recovering our sense of finitude, confronting our fears, accepting how our bodies age, developing meaningful rituals, and involving our communities in end-of-life care, we can discover what it means to both live and die well.  
  The Lost Art of Dying is a vital, affecting book that reconsiders death, death culture, and how we can transform how we live each day, including our last. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
