The New Dress - A Profound Tale of Insecurity Perception and Social Pressure

Virginia Woolf, Zenith Horizon Publishing

Casa editrice: Zenith Horizon Publishing

Sinossi

✨ "Have I made a mistake?"
In this hauntingly intimate short story, Virginia Woolf strips bare the fragile layers of human self-consciousness. The New Dress plunges readers into the mind of Mabel Waring, a woman gripped by doubt and discomfort at a high-society party. Her internal dialogue—full of vulnerability, anxiety, and raw emotion—becomes a masterclass in stream-of-consciousness narrative.

🧠 Through vivid inner monologue and sharp observation, Woolf captures what it means to feel out of place in a world obsessed with appearances. Her minimalist plot is overshadowed by an overwhelming emotional weight—a timeless portrayal of identity, shame, and societal expectations.

💬 Virginia Woolf is regarded as one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century. Readers and critics alike have praised her ability to depict the inner lives of women with unmatched clarity and grace.

Whether you're a fan of modernist literature or exploring Woolf for the first time, The New Dress is a compact literary gem that lingers in the mind long after the last line.

Physiologus - A Medieval Book of...

Michael J. Curley

One of the most popular and widely read books of the Middle Ages, Physiologus contains allegories of beasts, stones, and trees both real and imaginary, infused by their anonymous author with the spirit of Christian moral and mystical teaching.  Accompanied by an introduction that explains the origins, history, and literary value of this curious text, this volume also reproduces twenty woodcuts from the 1587 version. Originally composed in the fourth century in Greek, and translated into dozens of versions through the centuries, Physiologus will delight readers with its ancient tales of ant-lions, centaurs, and hedgehogs—and their allegorical significance. “An elegant little book . . . still diverting to look at today. . . . The woodcuts reproduced from the 1587 Rome edition are alone worth the price of the book.”—Raymond A. Sokolov, New York Times Book Review

Evil Nature

Raphael Terra

This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
 
Mankind is naturally evil and good. Ever since we became conscious, the evil within us emerged. Animals are not good or evil, they just follow the power of nature. We became aware of the differences and we continued regardless. No higher agent such as God can be blamed for the rise of darkness in our souls. Moral evil is caused by human activity. 
 
It is argued that our love of darkness proves that there is no God. If God exists and is omnipotent and all-knowing and perfectly good then there would be no natural evil, but there is. Can we continue to blame God for the ways of mankind or is it time we accepted responsibility for our ways? 
 
The truth is that we will not stop any time soon. In this book we examine the dark nature of mankind and the most gruesome and disturbing acts we have committed over time. From the holocaust to human sacrifices to false gods. No bloodstained stone will be unturned. Welcome to the Dark Side.

Russia's Road to War with...

Samir Puri

"We don't yet know where the current battle is headed. But Puri's 'first cut' will help us greatly in fathoming how we got here." – Patrick Porter, Professor of International Security, University of Birmingham
***
When Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, many in the West were left stunned at his act of brutal imperialism. To those who had been paying attention, however, the warning signs of the bloodshed and slaughter to come had been there for years.
Tracing the relationship between the two countries from the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 to Putin's invasion in 2022, what emerges from this gripping and accessible book is a portrait of a nation caught in a geopolitical tug of war between Russia and the West. While Russia is identified as the sole aggressor, we see how Western bodies such as the EU and NATO unrealistically raised Ukraine's expectations of membership before dashing them, leaving Ukraine without formal allies and fatally exposed to Russian aggression.
As a former international observer, Samir Puri was present for several of the major events covered in this book. He uses this experience to ask honestly: how did we get here? Why does Vladimir Putin view Ukraine as the natural property of Russia? Did the West handle its dealings with these countries prudently? Or did it inflame the tensions left amidst the ruins of the Soviet Union? Were there any missed opportunities to avert the war? And how might this conflict end?
