Sinossi

Samuel Pepys' "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1661 N.S" offers a vivid and intimate portrait of life in 17th-century England, eloquently capturing the personal and public upheavals of the time. Written in a detailed, engaging style, the diary entries reflect Pepys' astute observations of contemporary events, ranging from the Great Plague to the Great Fire of London. The narrative unfolds in a blend of formal and colloquial language, intertwining personal reflections with historical commentary, making it a vital primary source for understanding the Restoration period. Samuel Pepys, a naval administrator and Member of Parliament, kept his diary from 1660 to 1669, motivated by a desire to document his life and witness the significant transformations in England. His background in government and society propelled him into the heart of historical events, as he mingled with prominent figures of his time, illuminating the complexities of the era's politics, culture, and daily life. Pepys' meticulousness and candidness allow readers to glimpse his private thoughts and experiences amidst the larger societal shifts. This work is highly recommended for anyone interested in historical literature, as it transcends mere documentation to provide an engaging narrative that resonates with contemporary readers. Pepys' diary is not only a rich resource for historians but also an entertaining read that offers timeless insights into human nature and societal change.

    Until recently, Germany appeared to be a paragon of economic and political success. But recent events – from Germany's dependence on Russian gas to its car industry's delays in the race to electric – have undermined this view.
    In Kaput, Wolfgang Münchau argues that the weaknesses of Germany's economy have, in fact, been brewing for decades. The close connections between the country's industrial and political elite have left Germany technologically behind, over-reliant on authoritarian Russia and China, and with little sign of being able to adapt to the digital realities of the twenty-first century. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of Europe's most important economy.

    Driving Miss Norma - One...

    When Miss Norma was diagnosed with uterine cancer, she was advised to undergo surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. But instead of confining herself to a hospital bed for what could be her last stay, Norma—newly widowed after nearly seven decades of marriage—rose to her full height of five feet and told her doctor, “I’m ninety years old. I’m hitting the road.”  
    Packing what she needed, Norma took off on an unforgettable cross-country journey with three professional nomads—her retired son Tim, his wife Ramie, and their Standard Poodle Ringo—in a thirty-six-foot RV. Driving Miss Norma is the charming, infectiously joyous chronicle of their experiences on the road—a transformative journey of living life on your own terms that shows us that it is never too late to begin an adventure, inspire hope, or become a trailblazer.  
    As this once timid woman says “yes” to living in the face of death, she tries regional foods for the first time, zip-lines through a former stranger’s yard, and reaches for the clouds in a hot air balloon. With each passing mile (and one educational visit to a cannabis dispensary), Miss Norma’s health improves and conversations that had once been taboo begin to unfold. Norma, Tim, and Ramie bond in ways they had never done before, and their definitions of home, family, and friendship expand. Stop by stop, state by state, they meet countless people from all walks of life— strangers who become fast friends and welcome them with kindness and open hearts. 
    Infused with this irrepressible nonagenarian’s wisdom, courage, and generous spirit, Driving Miss Norma reminds us that life is beautiful and precious, and that family, fun, and self-discovery can happen at any age.
