Sinopsis

In "The Story of Atlantis," William Scott-Elliot weaves a compelling narrative that seeks to blend myth with scholarly inquiry, offering readers a detailed account of the legendary lost civilization of Atlantis. Scott-Elliot employs a vivid and engaging literary style, skillfully intertwining elements of fiction and philosophy to reimagine Plato's original accounts. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the book echoes the era's fascination with ancient myths and the occult, as well as the burgeoning interest in historical linguistics and archaeology, thus contributing a unique interpretation to the Atlantis narrative while inviting readers to ponder themes of utopia, human folly, and spiritual evolution. William Scott-Elliot, a British author deeply immersed in theosophy and spiritualism, was significantly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time. His keen interest in ancient civilizations and mystical traditions shaped his exploration of Atlantis, positing it as not merely a myth but a potent symbol of lost wisdom and idealism. Scott-Elliot's background in philosophy and mythology informs his careful crafting of a narrative that reveals both the splendor and the tragic decline of this fabled society, offering insights that resonate well beyond the confines of his time. "The Story of Atlantis" is a must-read for anyone captivated by ancient myths, historical mysteries, or the philosophical questions surrounding civilization and its discontents. Scott-Elliot's imaginative retelling invites readers to embark on a wondrous journey through time, challenging them to reflect upon the implications of humanity's quest for perfection amid the inevitable tides of history.

    What could have happened to me?... How did I soar to such heights, above the rabble sitting by the well?
     
    Ecce Homo is Nietzsche's compelling autobiography, written in 1888, just weeks before he succumbed to madness. Nietzsche's last great work, a fascinating and bizarre text, traces the development of his own philosophy and the thinkers who influenced him along the way.
     
    Both shocking and revealing, Ecce Homo is a window into the mind of one of Germany's most acclaimed philosophers.

    Native Americans’ Forgotten...

    Most Americans have heard of the Little Bighorn, the 1876 battle in which a band of Lakota Sioux and their allies wiped out most of the 7th U.S. Cavalry under the command of George Armstrong Custer. The movie images are of fierce warriors in long eagle feather headdresses flowing behind them as they gallop across the plains on nimble Indian ponies. In fact, many Americans know the names of the commanders who beat Custer, most notably Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, and there are famous photographs of the stolid looking, copper-skinned Sitting Bull participating in Buffalo Bill’s “Wild West Show.” 
    	Children in schools also learn that there were more battles in the coming years as American settlers pushed west, and names like Geronimo are instantly famous after the U.S. Army’s tough fight with the Apache. A few may even have learned of the formidable Comanches in the Texas Panhandle, and maybe even events like the Fetterman Massacre or the fights at Adobe Wells. 
    	Today, far fewer people are familiar with the conflicts that took place east of the Mississippi before the Indian Wars of the late 19th century, fought in the forests and woodlands rather than on the prairies. The names of a few of the tribes involved are well known - the Cherokee, Iroquois and Seminole and Choctaw – while other formidable groups like the Yamasee, Miamis, Delaware, Powhatan, and Shawnee are less known. As whites pushed west from the East Coast, there were fights against the Abenaki, and during the French & Indian War, two regiments of Redcoats and colonial militia were decimated near what is now Pittsburgh. An alliance under Chief Pontiac threw the British and Americans out of the Great Lakes country for a time in the mid-18th century and had much to do with the fracture between colonies and the mother country. And tribal leaders like Blue Jacket and Little Turtle waged bitter wars in the Old Northwest, including inflicting the worst defeat ever of the U.S. Army.

    Why President Trump has left us with no choice but to remove him from office, as explained by celebrated Supreme Court lawyer and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal. No one is above the law. This belief is as American as freedom of speech and turkey on Thanksgiving—held sacred by Democrats and Republicans alike. But as celebrated Supreme Court lawyer and former Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal argues in Impeach, if President Trump is not held accountable for repeatedly asking foreign powers to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, this could very well mark the end of our democracy. To quote President George Washington’s Farewell Address: “Foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.” Impeachment should always be our last resort, explains Katyal, but our founders, our principles, and our Constitution leave us with no choice but to impeach President Trump—before it’s too late.  Read by Christopher Ryan GrantCHRISTOPHER RYAN GRANT  is an actor and voice artist based in New York City.

    We broke our new series on learning Turkish down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Turkish.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Turkish decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Turkish speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Turkish. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Turkish at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Turkish, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. 
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
