  In the swirl of Philadelphia at the end of Prohibition, Leyb meets Charles. They are at a former speakeasy called Cricket's, a bar that welcomes, as Charles says in his secondhand Yiddish, feygeles. Leyb is startled; fourteen years in amerike has taught him that his native tongue is not known beyond his people. And yet here is suave Charles, a Black man from the Seventh Ward, a fellow traveler of Red Emma's, speaking Jewish to a young man he will come to call Lion. 
   
   
   
  Lion is haunted by memories of life before, in Zatelsk, where everyone in his village, everyone except the ten non-Jews, a young poet named Gittl, and Leyb himself, was taken to the forest and killed. 
   
   
   
  And then, miraculously, Gittl is in Philadelphia, too, thanks to a poem she wrote and the intervention of a shadowy character known only as the Baroness of Philadelphia. And surrounding Gittl are malokhim, the spirits of her siblings. 
   
   
   
  Moriel Rothman-Zecher's Before All the World lays bare the impossibility of escaping trauma, the necessity of believing in a better way ahead, and the power that comes from our responsibility to the future. It asks the most essential question: What do you intend to do before all the world?

  Jack Neuman came to Wyoming as a fifteen-year-old orphan. He lodged with Crazy Horse and his Lakota tribe. He later scouted for the U.S. Army. Lonesome for company, Jack brought out his childhood sweetheart from Minnesota, Heather and married her, but his devotion was on destroying the bad guys, not his marriage and his beautiful young wife broke his heart. He teamed up with Calamity Jane and D. Boone May. With their gallant exploits, they were elevated to legendary heroes. Their duties found them involved in at least 8 shootouts with road agents and almost as many with hostile Sioux. They shot it out with the Frank Towles Gang after they tried robbing a stage coach near Old Woman’s Creek in Wyoming. They captured Archie McLaughlin, Billy Mansfield and their fellow gang members. They were intercepted by vigilantes who lynched McLaughlin and Mansfield. They shot and wounded the robber Tom Price while bringing them in. Boone May shot down frequent stage robber Curley Grimes. Ambros Bierce, in his days as a stage coach guard, was riding with May when they saved a $30,000 gold shipment from outlaws. Later, Bierce would memorialize the events in the tale A Sole Survivor.

  The Adventures of Gerard

  The Adventures of Gerard is a compilation of short stories that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote regarding a French Brigadier named Etienne Gerard who thinks very highly of himself as can be reflected in how he told his stories. The book is divided into chapters containing different segments of his life as a soldier under the leadership of Napoleon together with his personal exploits and the romance that swept his way in between. Typical of war stories, some depicts bloody encounters with his enemies and how he was able to escape those encounters. However, there were soft moments particularly his encounter with women along the way even if she is from their enemy.Brigadier Gerard is the hero of a series of historical short stories by the British writer Arthur Conan Doyle. The hero, Etienne Gerard, is a Hussar officer in the French Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Gerard's most notable attribute is his vanity – he is utterly convinced that he is the bravest soldier, greatest swordsman, most accomplished horseman and most gallant lover in all France. Gerard is not entirely wrong, since he displays notable bravery on many occasions, but his self-satisfaction undercuts this quite often. Obsessed with honour and glory, he is always ready with a stirring speech or a gallant remark to a lady. Conan Doyle, in making his hero a vain, and often rather uncomprehending, Frenchman, was able to satirise both the stereotypical English view of the French and – by presenting them from Gerard's baffled point of view – English manners and attitudes....Gerard tells the stories from the point of view of an old man now living in retirement in Paris.

  In Lessons in Chemistry, Bonnie Garmus introduces us to Elizabeth Zott, a fiercely intelligent chemist in 1960s America — where women weren’t expected to work in labs, let alone lead them. 
  But when she’s pushed out of the scientific world, Elizabeth unexpectedly becomes the star of a hit cooking show. Her secret? She’s not just teaching recipes — she’s teaching science, self-respect, and resistance to millions of housewives trapped in societal expectations. 
  This novel is witty, bold, and deeply empowering — a story about breaking barriers, rewriting roles, and proving that revolution sometimes starts at the dinner table. 
  Perfect for listeners who love smart female leads, social commentary, and stories where chemistry is both literal and metaphorical.
