Synopsis

Erased from History: 11 Books on Extinct Cities is a compelling anthology that probes the silent echoes of vanished civilizations through an intriguing fusion of historical analysis, literary imagination, and archaeological investigation. The collection weaves a tapestry of narratives and scholarly essays, each uncovering the layers of forgotten metropolises. From tales of dreamlike landscapes to probing psychological analyses of cultural memories, the anthology showcases a spectrum of styles from the evocative, poetic musings to methodical scholarly inquiryâ€"capturing the kaleidoscope of human experiences tethered to these sunken realms. Standout works elucidate how these lost cities continue to shape contemporary understandings, though their names may no longer be inscribed in common memory. The contributing authors, a remarkable ensemble ranging from literary icons like William Shakespeare and Gustave Flaubert to pioneering figures in archaeology such as Heinrich Schliemann and Austen Henry Layard, contribute profound insights into the theme of extinction and monumental legacy. Each author, through their unique lens, reflects on the ebb and flow of empires and civilizations, offering insights that resonate with the historical movements of romanticism, psychoanalysis, and cultural preservation. Their confluence enriches the anthology, linking past narratives with present understandings, and underscoring the timeless dialogue between the human mind and the ruins it leaves behind. This anthology invites readers to embark on a journey through time, exploring the multiplicity of human achievement and its eventual absorption into the annals of history. It is an indispensable resource for those eager to comprehend the intricate tapestry of human civilization and its ever-shifting boundaries. As a reader, you will be compelled to engage with different epochs and styles, bridging the gap between lost realms and modern thought. Erased from History offers not just insight, but a vivid reminder of the forgotten cities whose whispers continue to inform our understanding of cultural and historical identity.

    In Sacred Lessons: Teaching My Father How to Love, Mike de la Rocha explores how inherited definitions of manhood profoundly impacted his ability to connect with his father, his family, and ultimately himself, inviting readers on a transformative journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and love. 
      
    Sacred Lessons is a deeply moving and inspiring memoir for those seeking self-love and healing. Intensely personal, this memoir delves into the struggle men face in connecting with themselves and others, offering tools for personal growth and ways to build meaningful and authentic relationships in their lives. 
      
    Through his story, Mike de la Rocha reflects on his father’s legacy as a beloved professor who impacted tens of thousands of students, yet struggled to teach his own son how to be emotionally vulnerable. Reflecting on the most important relationships in his life, Mike explores the difficulty in communicating with his father and loved ones—a byproduct of a toxic culture that prohibits men from truly expressing themselves, and purposely doesn’t teach men how to give and receive love. Through these stories, we see how trauma is passed on intergenerationally and how to find ways to stop the cycle of harm. In the end, both Mike and his father teach each other the greatest lesson of all: the sacredness of the love between a father and a son. 
      
    Told with raw emotion and vulnerability, Sacred Lessons is the human story of the impact that history and culture have upon us all. This is a book for those of us seeking community in a time when too many of us feel alone, as well as a testimony to the legacy of a brilliant father, a brutal indictment of patriarchy, and an affirmation of the transformative power of love.

    Virginia Louise Giuffre New memoir: The Story of Nobody’s Girl is a gripping, compassionate, and unflinching portrait of one woman’s fight for justice against some of the most powerful forces in the world. Told with cinematic depth and emotional honesty, this book traces Virginia Giuffre’s journey from a troubled childhood in Florida to the unimaginable world of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell — a world of privilege, exploitation, and silence. 
    Across ten evocative chapters, it follows her transformation from a frightened teenager trapped in a system of abuse to a global advocate whose courage sparked an international reckoning on trafficking, consent, and power. Through her lawsuits against Epstein, Maxwell, and Prince Andrew, Virginia shattered centuries of impunity surrounding the wealthy and well-connected, forcing institutions to confront their own complicity. 
    This book covers: 
    ●     The hidden systems of power, privilege, and complicity that enable exploitation and silence survivors. 
    ●     Virginia Giuffre’s personal transformation from victim to global advocate for justice and reform. 
    ●     The broader fight for accountability, prevention, and empathy in the global battle against human trafficking and abuse. 
    More than a biography, The Story of Nobody’s Girl is a testament to resilience and moral clarity. It explores how trauma becomes purpose, how silence can be broken, and how one voice can ignite global change. This is not only Virginia’s story — it is a rallying cry for every survivor and every reader to believe in the power of truth.

    A Legend of Old Egypt - From...

    Aleksander Głowacki who wrote under the nom de plume Boleslaw Prus was born on 20th August 1847 at Hrubieszów in the Kingdom of Poland, at that time, controlled by the Russian Empire. 
    At three his mother died and then at nine his father.  Female relatives helped raise him but at 15 he joined the Polish uprising against the might of Imperial Russia.  Wounded on the battlefield, arrested and imprisoned, he was later released into the care of a relative and resumed secondary school and then Warsaw University but poverty forced him to leave after two years.  At some point he developed agoraphobia which often caused problems. 
    In 1869, he enrolled in the Forestry Department at Puławy but was soon sacked and so he began a system of self-education that led to work as a newspaper columnist on a wide-ranging series of topics that eventually became the ‘Weekly Chronicles’ and spanned 40 years. 
    With his finances now stabilized he married and then adopted his late brother-in-law’s son.  
    It seems he had doubts as to the scale of his talents and early on adopted the name ‘Boleslaw Prus’ for both his journalistic and literary offerings. 
    His work as a short-story writer met with much acclaim. He wrote several dozen of them, originally published in newspapers and ranging in length from micro-story to novella. His keen observation of everyday life and sense of humor are evident in them.  
    During his career he also wrote novels. After ‘Pharoah’, in 1895, he embarked on a four-month journey taking in Berlin, Dresden, Nuremberg, Rapperswil in Switzerland, where he stayed for two months, and his final destination, Paris.  Here his agoraphobia was so bad he couldn’t cross the Seine.  
    However, his writing continued and in 1911 his novel ‘Changes’, though uncompleted, began to be serialised.  It was never finished. 
    Boleslaw Prus died on 19th May 1912, at his Warsaw apartment.  He was 64.  A National Hero, thousands attended both his funeral service and interment.
