Sinopse

In "The History of Rome: The Period Anterior to the Abolition of the Monarchy," Theodor Mommsen meticulously traces the evolution of Roman society from its foundation through the final vestiges of monarchy. With a distinctive blend of narrative history and critical analysis, Mommsen employs a scholarly yet engaging literary style, bringing to life the complex socio-political landscapes and the cultural nuances of early Rome. His work not only contextualizes the intricate interactions of power, philosophy, and governance but also delves into the ideological undercurrents that set the stage for the Republic's emergence. Theodor Mommsen, a prominent 19th-century German historian, was influenced by his experience in law, politics, and literature, which profoundly shaped his historiographical approach. His passion for antiquity and meticulous research into Roman history culminated in this seminal work, which reflects his belief in the importance of historical continuity and the lessons it imparts for contemporary society. Recognized with the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1902 for his historical scholarship, Mommsen remains an authoritative voice on Roman history. This book is an essential read for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history alike, offering rich insights into the formative years of Rome. Mommsen'Äôs blend of narrative vigor and erudition allows readers to appreciate not only Rome's historical legacy but also its impacts on modern governance and civic responsibility.

    The silence on the genocidal situation in Gaza is questionable. How can we explain the double standard when we compare the - legitimate - indignation provoked by the Russian bombing of the Ukraine with the omerta surrounding the bombing of a civilian population under blockade? Beyond the problem of certain community institutions, there is a cocktail of feelings of guilt, cultural solidarity, fear of or hostility to Islam, a threat of terrorism linked to Islam, colonial memories that have not been properly digested, and adherence to the concept of the clash of civilizations, which explains the widespread support in the media and among politicians for the actions of the Israeli government. The aim of this book is to analyze this genocidal situation and to show that this guilty silence is a strategic error for France and, more generally, for Western countries.

    On the day she was murdered, Myrtle Underwood Cook boasted to local authorities about new evidence of a major bootlegging ring operating out of the Rock Island train depot behind her house in a small town in eastern Iowa. Then, as she sat at her window sewing, she took a single slug through the heart. She was president of the local temperance union; her killing made the front page of the New York Times. The next day her funeral made national news due to the eerie presence of a small army from the Ku Klux Klan, its members, donned in full regalia, drawn from three surrounding states. 
     
     
     
    It was September 1925, and Al Capone had just taken over the Chicago Outfit, evangelist Billy Sunday was converting thousands to temperance, and the KKK had marched on Washington, DC. During its first half century of statehood, Iowa lurched from wet to dry and back eight times before Prohibition was ratified in 1919. And when Iowa was still a territory, its Black Codes imprinted generations with a legacy of intolerance and racism. 
     
     
     
    Mrs. Cook and the Klan is a true crime investigation that not only sheds new light on Myrtle Underwood Cook's unsolved killing but also explores the confluence of the social, political, and economic forces that brought the Klan, street gangs, a local mob boss, and the temperance movement together in a small American town.

    A passionate analysis of the ill-fated 1994 film starring the late Brandon Lee and its long-lasting influence on action movies, cinematic grief, and emotional masculinity
    		 
    Released in 1994, The Crow first drew in audiences thanks to the well-publicized tragedy that loomed over the film: lead actor Brandon Lee had died on set due to a mishandled prop gun. But it soon became clear that The Crow was more than just an accumulation of its tragic parts. The celebrated critic Roger Ebert wrote that Lee’s performance was “more of a screen achievement than any of the films of his father, Bruce Lee.”
    		 
    In It Can’t Rain All the Time, Alisha Mughal argues that The Crow has transcended Brandon Lee’s death by exposing the most challenging human emotions in all their dark, dramatic, and visceral glory, so much so that it has spawned three sequels, a remake, and an intense fandom. Eric, our back-from-the-dead, grieving protagonist, shows us that there is no solution to depression or loss, there is only our own internal, messy work. By the end of the movie, we realize that Eric has presented us with a vast range of emotions and that masculinity doesn’t need to be hard and impenetrable.
    		 
    Through her memories of seeking solace in the film during her own grieving period, Alisha brilliantly shows that, for all its gothic sadness, The Crow is, surprisingly and touchingly, a movie about redemption and hope.
