Sinopse

Nothing But Wickedness delves into society's subtle—and some not so subtle—transgressions that contribute to the decline of our culture. Theodore Dalrymple, drawing on his extensive experience as an inner-city GP and prison psychiatrist, examines the underlying factors that drive societal behaviours and self-deception. The book covers a range of thought-provoking topics, including what drives doctors to work for dictators, the benefits of idleness, understanding the mindset of Hitler, why doctors collect body parts, the true meaning of illness, and how war can paradoxically advance medicine. This wide-ranging exploration is a compelling read for the intelligent reader and the Theodore Dalrymple fan. Dalrymple's insights offer a unique perspective on the complexities of human behaviour and cultural decline. Whether you are intrigued by the benefits of idleness, fascinated by the darker side of human nature, or interested in historical and psychological analyses, Nothing But Wickedness promises to be an enlightening and engaging read ranging across many genres.

    This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
     
    This audiobook delves into the enigmatic world of the Illuminati and secret societies, unveiling their history and influence over global affairs. The Illuminati, real and fictional, are portrayed as elusive elites shaping our world. Their origin dates back to the late 1700s with the Bavarian Illuminati, founded by Adam Weishaupt and guided by the enigmatic 'Father of Illumination'. Since then, numerous groups have claimed Illuminati status, their links to Weishaupt's vision uncertain. These legends have fostered a culture of secrecy and fear, intertwining conspiracies of unimaginable power with Illuminati symbolism. Celebrities, musicians, and politicians have been implicated in this narrative, but does the Illuminati truly wield world control? 
     
    This audiobook investigates the historical ties between the Illuminati and secret societies and their impact on global events. We delve into Weishaupt's legacy and explore potentially nefarious activities within these organisations. The audiobook scrutinizes whether these groups possess the power to dominate the world and, if so, contemplates potential countermeasures. 
     
    Join us on this illuminating journey as we plunge into the shadowy realm of the Illuminati and secret societies that exert influence over our world.

    Who now remembers Hermann Röchling (1872-1955), an emblematic figure of German industry during the two world wars. A Nazi from the very beginning, he was one of the main protagonists of this sinister movement, alongside Albert Speer and Adolf Hitler. He did not shy away from any measure to support the National Socialist effort, and his power was such that the Americans referred to him as the “czar” of a regime that functioned on the backs of millions of enslaved workers.
    A steel magnate and notorious anti-Semite, Hermann Röchling fell through the cracks of history. Margaret Manale is the first researcher to devote an exhaustive biography to him. She explains the reasons why such a character has remained almost unnoticed. She sheds light on the difficulty of judging him in the aftermath of the collapse of the Third Reich.
    To put his personality into perspective, Manale goes back to the origins of the family in 1870 and the French defeat by Germany. For 170 years, the Röchlings played a major role in these successive conflicts and in particular in the struggle for control of the mines in Alsace-Lorraine. Herman Röchling was prosecuted and sentenced at Nuremberg for war crimes in 1946 but, under American pressure, he was pardoned in 1951 in order to revive Germany quickly and build a strong Europe in the face of the Soviet threat.
    This shocking book is the implacable account of one man’s deception and the weight of realpolitik.

    Afghanistan, 1839. 
     
     
     
    The British East India Company dominated the Indian subcontinent, yet they were not secure in their position. 
     
     
     
    Holding unjustified fears that Russia threatened India's north-western border, the Company decided to make a pre-emptive strike and ensure that this menace would be stopped by a strong pro-British Afghanistan. 
     
     
     
    Thousands of British and Indian troops invaded this mountainous land to intervene in a succession dispute between emir Dost Mahommed Khan and former emir Shah Shuja-ool-Mulk. After capturing Kabul they placed the cruel, but pro-British Shah Shuja upon the throne once again, and supported him with an overwhelming military presence. 
     
     
     
    However, the proud and ruthless warriors of Afghanistan were unwilling to submit themselves to British control and within three years they had risen up against their oppressors in one of the bloodiest revolts in history. 
     
     
     
    George Bruce delves into a vast array of published and unpublished nineteenth century sources to uncover this campaign in which very few British survivors made it back through the snow-laden passes to India.

    The Muwaṭṭaʾ (Arabic: الموطأ, "well-trodden path") or Muwatta Imam Malik (Arabic: موطأ الإمام مالك) of Imam Malik (711–795) written in the 8th-century, is one of the earliest collections of hadith texts comprising the subjects of Islamic law, compiled by the Imam, Malik ibn Anas. Malik's best-known work, Al-Muwatta was the first legal work to incorporate and combine hadith and fiqh (except possibly for Zayd ibn Ali's Musnad). It is considered to be from the earliest extant collections of hadith that form the basis of Islamic jurisprudence alongside the Qur'an. It includes reliable hadith from the people of the Hijaz, as well as sayings of the companions, the followers and also those who came after them. The book covers rituals, rites, customs, traditions, norms and laws of the time of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
