Sinopsis

The "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1668 N.S" is an intimate and vivid account of life in 17th-century England, penned by one of its most astute observers. Through a unique blend of personal reflection and detailed observation, Pepys chronicles his daily experiences, providing rich insights into the socio-political milieu, including the Great Fire of London and the rise of the English navy. His candid style, marked by frankness and occasional humor, evokes a genuine connection to the past, showcasing the minutiae of his mundane life interspersed with the era's grand events, making it both a historical document and a literary treasure reflective of the Enlightenment's burgeoning values of individualism and empirical inquiry. Samuel Pepys, a naval administrator and Member of Parliament, began his diary at a time of great personal and political tumult in England. His unique position afforded him a front-row seat to pivotal moments, including the Restoration of Charles II. Influenced by his educational background and the tumultuous history surrounding him, Pepys was motivated by a desire for self-improvement and recording history for posterity, thus crafting a work that transcends mere memoir. For readers interested in the interplay of personal narrative and historical events, this complete edition of Pepys's diary is a compelling exploration of an influential period in British history. It invites contemporary readers to engage with the past through the eyes of a remarkable individual, making it an essential read for anyone passionate about history, literature, or the human experience.

    Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like 'pandemic' and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam. A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. 
     
    There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations. Very soon you will be asked to do things you would never have contemplated before and you will do them gladly. This is the story of how your freedoms and liberties are being taken away from you without you even caring. In fact you will be happy to lose them. And all because of a small virus created by that same elite group and let loose upon mankind for a very malevolent end. 
     
    George Orwell said: "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind." This book will prove that he was right all along…

    The first major book on the uprisings in Iran in 2022 and 2023 
     
    On Tuesday 13 September 2022, all Mahsa Amini has planned is a day shopping in Tehran. Her birthday is next week. But she is arrested as she comes out of the subway – the Guidance Patrol deem her hijab inadequate. On Friday she is pronounced dead. By Sunday, women have taken to the streets across Iran, setting their headscarves on fire and cursing the Supreme Leader. Months later, workers down their tools and businesses close. The battle-cry everywhere: Women, Life, Freedom. 
     
    This isn’t a passing protest wave; something has changed irrevocably. Arash Azizi guides us through Iran ablaze, history being made in real time. From an International Women’s Day celebrated inside Iran’s most notorious prison to mass strikes in Kurdistan, ordinary Iranians are taking risks to fight for a better future.  
     
    Even as the regime spills blood in retaliation, Iranians have not given up. Today one thing’s clear: no Supreme Leader can turn the clock back. A different Iran is within sight; Azizi shows us what it might look like.

    Tall tales of bushmen, bulldozers and back-country blokes 
      
    'It was the mid-1970s and I was about eight, I thought it was completely normal for your old man to pull out a high-powered deer-hunting rifle and fire it through the kitchen door from the breakfast table...' 
    In the 1970s and 80s, Barry Bellamy was a fair old bushman, traversing the back-country from Hawke's Bay to the far north in a blue ex-airforce Land Rover. His son Mike would join him as he took up work, wherever he could get it. Tough Country is Mike's story, about a bygone era of bushmen, scrub-cutters, hunters and shepherds. Later, Mike forged his own life working on the land, and his stories of the characters of the 1980s and 90s, from tradies to digger-drivers, are as hilarious as they are quintessentially Kiwi.
