Beschreibung

This volume illustrates Voltaire's signature wit and eloquence, embedding profound Enlightenment ideals within vibrant narratives and incisive critiques of society, religion, and governance. The illustrations add a visual dimension, enlivening the text while providing historical context that enhances the reader's understanding of Voltaire's literary landscape, characterized by his pioneering advocacy for civil liberties and reasoned discourse. Voltaire, born Fran√ßois-Marie Arouet in 1694, emerged as a prominent figure of the Enlightenment, challenging established norms through sharp satire and philosophical inquiry. His own experiences with censorship and exile deeply influenced his writing, fostering a commitment to free expression and social reform. This collection reflects his engagement with pressing issues of his time, revealing how Voltaire wielded literature as a tool for both reflection and revolution. This premium collection is highly recommended for readers who seek to immerse themselves in the intellectual fervor of the 18th century. It offers an indispensable gateway to understanding Voltaire'Äôs role in shaping modern thought, making it an essential compendium for scholars, students, and literary enthusiasts alike.

    It was a time of spiritualism. A world full of myth, mystery and mysticism. The people were open to the possibilities of life after death, supernatural powers and magic. 
     
    Into this world stepped a fascinating wizard of the mind and his name was Rasputin. Great powers to heal the sick, to save the wretched, prophesy the future and to bring on fits of spiritual excitement. He was a god of hypnosis and mesmerism and a master of trickery and magic. 
     
    Mad monk, mystic, prophet, man of God or con-man? Rasputin's evil eyes stare at us across the generations as a warning shot to all those who would believe without question the words of a self-proclaimed spiritual man.

    For the past twelve years, the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report has ranked Iceland number one on its list of countries closing the gap in equality between men and women. What is it about Iceland that makes many women's experience there so positive? Why has their society made such meaningful progress in this ongoing battle, from electing the world's first female president to passing legislation specifically designed to help even the playing field at work and at home? And how can we learn from what Icelanders have already discovered about women's powerful place in society and how increased fairness benefits everyone? 
     
     
     
    Eliza Reid, the First Lady of Iceland, examines her adopted homeland's attitude toward women—the deep-seated cultural sense of fairness, the influence of current and historical role models, and, crucially, the areas where Iceland still has room for improvement. Reid's own experience as an immigrant from small-town Canada who never expected to become a first lady is expertly interwoven with interviews with dozens of sprakkar ("extraordinary women") to form the backbone of an illuminating discussion of what it means to move through the world as a woman, and how the rules of society play more of a role in who we view as "equal" than we may understand.

    Abby Johnson thought she knew what mercy was when she ushered desperate women toward abortion as the director of a Planned Parenthood facility. She was wrong. It wasn't until she understood the blood on her hands that she personally experienced the power of God's fierce yet tender mercy to transform her life. But she never imagined what could happen once she allowed that very mercy to infiltrate her life and spill out into a hurting world. 
     
     
     
    In Fierce Mercy, Abby calls you to experience a transformation of your own. Against the backdrop of her first decade involved in the pro-life movement, Abby helps you discover God's unrestrained mercy at work in your own life and take steps toward becoming a channel of that life-changing mercy in the world around you. She shows you how to model God's mercy, freely offer mercy to those who seem undeserving, respond with mercy when others err or offend, and bear witness to God's unrestrained compassion so that others may know him. 
     
     
     
    This is Abby's challenge to you: dare to do what is hard, what is right, and what is good. And do all of it in love.

    Sol’s Texaco is  a moving memoir set in the Italian-American neighbourhood of Larchmont, an affluent New York City suburb, in the early 1960s. Through the eyes of Tony, a young boy growing up in a close-knit community, the story revolves around a local gas station, Sol’s Texaco, which becomes a central hub of life lessons, adventures, and the awakening of a young 
    boy to the realities of the world around him.
     
    Through vivid anecdotes, Tony shares his experiences of friendship, baseball, and the trials of youth under the mentorship of Sol, the gas station owner, and Linroy, who both set Tony right when it came to racism and made a man out of him. The memoir beautifully captures the essence of childhood, the struggles of fitting in, and the importance of tolerance and community spirit. Raised in shadow of Italian mobsters, this book delves into the ingrained racial prejudices of the time, showing how these are often imparted in early childhood by those closest to us, but 
    also offers a message of hope and responsibility: even those shaped by such a situation can rise above it and become mentors, helping to create a more just and understanding world.
     
    As Tony navigates the complexities of racial and cultural differences, he dreams of escape and self-discovery, his path intertwined with music and the allure of distant Australia. Sol’s Texaco is more than just a story about a boy and a gas station; it’s a heartfelt journey through the formative years of a young life, shaped by the people and places that leave an indelible mark on one's identity.
