Sinopse

The Derelict is a short story by William Hope Hodgson, first published in 1912. An elderly ship's doctor recounts a strange event that happened to him some years earlier, in the context of discussing his ideas about a fundamental life force that can manifest itself in the presence of proper materials. While sailing as a passenger, a sudden storm disables the ship. In the aftermath, a derelict vessel is discovered. Excerpt: "'Seen anything of Carnacki lately?' I asked Arkright when we met in the City. 'No,' he replied. 'He's probably off on one of his jaunts. We'll be having a card one of these days inviting us to No. 472, Cheyne Walk, and then we'll hear all about it. Queer chap that.'"

    Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil: A Holocaust Chronicle 
    Amidst the darkest chapter of human history, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil: A Holocaust Chronicle by Michael Green delivers a harrowing yet necessary exploration of how bureaucracy, ideology, and moral erosion transformed ordinary individuals into architects of genocide. 
    Drawing upon extensive historical records, survivor testimonies, and perpetrator confessions, this meticulously researched narrative brings to life the events leading to and following the infamous Wannsee Conference of January 1942. In the opulence of a lakeside villa, fifteen high-ranking Nazi officials calmly planned the systematic extermination of Europe's Jewish population—an event that marked the acceleration of the Final Solution. Through the eyes of both historical figures and composite characters, the book illuminates the chilling banality of evil, where mass murder became an administrative routine carried out with precision and detachment. 
    From the cold efficiency of the Einsatzgruppen massacres in the Eastern Front to the horrific mechanization of death in Treblinka, Sobibor, and Auschwitz, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil follows the bureaucrats, soldiers, and collaborators who orchestrated genocide. The novelization of these events does not seek to sensationalize, but rather to deepen our understanding of how seemingly normal people could commit unimaginable crimes. 
    Unflinching, deeply researched, and ethically grounded, this book is an essential read for historians, educators, and anyone seeking to understand the mechanisms of human evil. With unwavering historical accuracy and a narrative that grips the reader from the first page, Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Evil stands as both a tribute to the victims and a warning to future generations.
