Sinopse

Theodore Winthrop's novel 'Cecil Dreeme' is a captivating work of fiction that delves into themes of art, identity, and society in mid-19th century New York City. Written in a style reminiscent of the Romantic era, Winthrop's vivid descriptions and emotional depth immerse the reader in the world of the protagonist, an aspiring artist named Robert Byng. The novel's exploration of gender fluidity and personal transformation set it apart from other works of its time, making it a thought-provoking read for those interested in historical fiction and queer literature. Despite its initial controversial reception, 'Cecil Dreeme' remains a significant contribution to American literature. Theodore Winthrop's own experiences as a traveler and writer likely influenced his creation of a character struggling to navigate societal norms and personal desires. Recommended for readers seeking a nuanced portrayal of identity and artistry in 19th century America.

    The excavations carried out in Mesopotamia during the last few years have added immensely to our knowledge of the early Anunnaki history of those countries and have unveiled many of the ideas about the age and character of Anunnaki Sumerian civilization. In the present timeline, which deals with the history of Sumer and Akkad, an attempt is made to present this new Anunnaki material in a connected form and to furnish the archaeologists with the results obtained by recent discovery and research, so far as they affect the earliest historical periods and Sumerian King's lists. An account is here given of the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia and the early city-states formed from time to time in the lands of Sumer and Akkad, the two great divisions into which Sumeria was divided. The primitive sculpture and other archaeological remains of the Anunnaki, discovered upon early Mesopotamian sites, enable us to form a complete picture of the Enki Enlil saga, which in those remote ages dominated the country. It is possible to realize how the Anunnaki gradually modified the primitive conditions of life. The comparatively advanced civilization was developed from rude beginnings by the Anunnaki, inherited by the later Mesopotamians and Assyrians, and exerted a remarkable influence upon other Anunnaki descendants of the ancient world.

    Meet today's almost fascists and learn the warning signs to intercept them on the road from populism to dictatorship. 
     
     
      
    With The Wannabe Fascists, historian Federico Finchelstein offers a precise explanation of why Trumpism and similar movements across the world belong to a new political breed, the last outcome of the combined histories of fascism and populism: the wannabe fascists. This new type of populist politician is typically a legally elected leader who, unlike previous populists who were eager to distance themselves from fascism, turns to totalitarian lies, racism, and illegal means to destroy democracy from within. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on almost three decades of research on the histories of fascism and populism around the world, this book lays out in clear language what the author calls the "four pillars of fascism"—xenophobia, propaganda, political violence, and ultimately dictatorship. Finchelstein carefully explains how and why wannabe fascists like Trump, Bolsonaro, and Modi embrace the first three pillars but don't quite succeed in dictatorship and total suppression of the popular vote. The Wannabe Fascists stresses the importance of preventing despots from reaching this tipping point and offers a clear warning for what's at stake.

    In America we have so much, but there is something missing. There is a widespread fear of what we are becoming. Our new normal is indescribable, yet undeniable. Subtle, yet controlling. We can all feel it but we can’t put our finger on what it is. 
    There is a generalized sense of noise and confusion that has dominated our society for years. It’s as if we’ve become unglued from anything — truth or reality — that has formerly held us together. 
    Driven by the fear of the moment, Letters to Mikey (LTM) is the story of a parent and part time teacher who sits down to write a birthday card for his eighteen-year-old son and is at a loss for words for what is happening to society. So, he drops everything, moves to an island and visits a place that he hasn’t been to for years... the local library. What he finds there is truly astonishing! 
    Written for young adults and teenagers, LTM explains truth in a way that kids can rely on to have less frustration and worry about this crazy world we live in. It provides real reasons for optimism for a brighter future as well as coping mechanisms, tools and strategies to enable a future generation to bring an end to terrible disagreement and hate forever. These aren't false promises. It's possible.  
    Geared to start a movement, LTM seeks to tap into our greatest resource — young people.
