Sinossi

In "The Winning of the American West," Theodore Roosevelt offers a sweeping narrative that chronicles the exploration and settlement of the American frontier, encompassing all four volumes. Roosevelt'Äôs prose is imbued with a vigorous and dynamic style that vividly evokes the landscapes and challenges faced by early pioneers, combining historical fact with personal anecdotes. The work not only serves as a historical account but also positions itself within the larger context of American nationalism, capturing the spirit of the late 19th century as America grappled with its identity during a period of expansion and transformation. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was profoundly influenced by his experiences in the West, which shaped his beliefs about American exceptionalism and rugged individualism. His firsthand encounters with frontier life, coupled with a scholarly background in history, catalyzed his commitment to documenting the heroic narratives of those who settled the vast landscapes of the West, reflecting his admiration for their courage and resilience. This monumental work is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, offering unparalleled insights into the formative years of the United States. Roosevelt's engaging storytelling and authoritative perspective make these volumes not only educational but also an exhilarating journey through the trials and triumphs of the American spirit.

    Rwandan Genocide - Hutus Tutsis...

    I guess during the time I was struggling with middle school peers and worried about what other girls thought of my clothes, something nasty happened approximately 6,500 miles away, which is only an 8-hour flight from where I used to live. Who would have thought that even in the 90s, such atrocities would be committed? The movie Hotel Rwanda has depicted some sad displays of human cruelty, although the brutality of it has mostly been censored for the sake of wider audiences. When you read the descriptions of the Rwandan genocide, and try to imagine the scope of the death toll and methods being used to commit the war crimes, you can’t help but feel deeply saddened and disgusted by what human people are capable of. 
    Throughout the Rwandan Civil War, between April seventh and July fifteenth, 1994, the Rwandan genocide happened. Equipped militias murdered members of the Tutsi minority ethnic group, and some moderate Hutu and Twa, throughout about 100 days. According to the most regularly accepted academic estimates, between 500,000 and 800,000 Tutsis passed away. The death toll (consisting of Hutu and Twa casualties) is approximated to be around 1,100,000. 
    How did all of this happen? How did it get so far? And happened during and after this short time period, in which so many lives were claimed? Let’s find out in this comprehensive book about the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

    A Room of One's Own

    Virginia Woolf

    "A Room of One's Own" began life as a pair of lectures delivered by Virginia Woolf in October 1928 at Newnham College and Girton College, women's colleges at the University of Cambridge and was published as a stand-alone book in 1929. In this brilliant examination of literature, history and gender discrimination, Woolf posits that the dearth of female writers in literature did not result from a lack of talent; it was the lack of opportunity. Historically, female writers were thwarted in their literary pursuits by a culture that disapproved of female authors, by gatekeepers within the literary establishment who barred women from participating and by societal pressures that attempted to shoehorn women into being primarily wives, mothers and housekeepers. Woolf's devastating critique of these injustices has been hailed as one of the finest pieces of literary criticism for almost a century. "A Room of One's Own" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.

    •	A modern, easy-to-follow adaptation designed for thinkers and listeners of today 
    Whether you’re exploring the roots of ethics or questioning inherited beliefs, Euthyphro will lead you to the heart of moral inquiry.
