There Will be No Palestinian...

Ziyad Clot

"I bought an El Al ticket. Destination Ben Gourion airport. Tel Aviv. Israel. 60 years ago, my mother was born a few dozen kilometers away. In Haifa, Palestine.
So begins the story of the "return" of Ziyad Clot, grandson of Palestinian exiles. In Ramallah, he accepted a position as legal advisor to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and became a negotiator, taking part in the talks that were to lead to the creation of the Palestinian state by the end of 2008. But he soon came to terms with the obvious: "The peace process is a spectacle, a farce, played out at the expense of Palestinian reconciliation, at the cost of bloodshed in Gaza. And despite myself, I'm becoming one of the actors in this drama.”
The author plunges us into the heart of the peace process, revealing the pretenses, behind-the-scenes maneuvers of the parties and the internal and international rivalries that help fuel the fantasy of a two-state solution. This edifying account, steeped in personal history, shows how and why negotiations to create a Palestinian state came to nothing. For the former negotiator, a peaceful solution to the conflict can only be found through a single state in which Palestinians and Israelis will have to live together. This hybrid country, "Israeltine," is already here.

The Race to the Future - 8000...

Kassia St. Clair

The racers battle over steep inclines, through narrow mountain passages, and across the arid Gobi Desert. Competitors endure torrential rain and choking dust. There are barely any roads, and petrol is almost impossible to find. 
 
 
 
More than its many adventures, the Peking-to-Paris Motor Challenge took place on the precipice of a new world. As the twentieth century dawned, imperial regimes in China and Russia were crumbling, paving the way for the rise of communist ones. The electric telegraph was rapidly transforming modern communication, and with it, the news media, commerce, and politics. Suspended between the old and the new, the Peking-to-Paris, as bestselling historian Kassia St. Clair writes, became a critical tipping point. 
 
 
 
A gripping, immersive narrative of the race, The Race to the Future sets the drivers' derring-do (and occasional cheating) against the backdrop of a larger geopolitical and technological race to the future. Interweaving events from the fall of the Qing dynasty to the departure of the horse economy and the rise of gendered marketing, St. Clair shows how the Peking-to-Paris provided an impetus for profound social, cultural, and industrial change, while masterfully capturing the mounting tensions between nations and empires—all building up to the cataclysmic event that changed everything: the First World War.

The Joyful Wisdom

Friedrich Nietzsche

What if laughter held more truth than solemnity? What if wisdom danced - light-footed, irreverent, and defiant - instead of cloaking itself in the heavy robes of tradition?
In The Joyful Wisdom (also known as La Gaya Scienza), Friedrich Nietzsche unveils a luminous and lyrical philosophy that challenges the deepest convictions of Western thought. Written during a moment of personal renewal, this daring work blends poetry, paradox, and razor-sharp insight into a celebration of life’s uncertainties—and the courage to embrace them.
Here, Nietzsche proclaims the death of God - not as despair, but as a liberation from dogma. He guides us through a labyrinth of aphorisms that question morality, truth, art, and the nature of existence itself. In the celebrated Book IV, "Sanctus Januarius," we find the seeds of eternal recurrence, a provocative vision of time and will that shaped existential and postmodern thought. The closing section, “Songs of Prince Vogelfrei,” offers poetic fragments that sing with ecstatic defiance.
Nietzsche’s legacy endures not only in philosophy but in literature, psychology, and cultural theory. His voice - bold, ironic, and unrelentingly modern -continues to speak to anyone seeking to break free from inherited beliefs and live with creative authenticity.
This immersive audiobook experience allows you to hear Nietzsche’s rhythmic prose and aphorisms in clear, intelligent narration powered by advanced AI -delivering both precision and nuance, perfectly suited to the musicality and complexity of the original text.
Step into the vibrant mind of one of history’s most original thinkers. Let The Joyful Wisdom unsettle, awaken, and inspire.
Buy now and begin your journey into a philosophy that dances on the edge of reason - with joy.
