Summary

Span the breadth of the ancient world in a tragedy that juxtaposes the austere politics of Rome with the decadent luxury of Egypt. The passionate, volatile relationship between the Roman triumvir and the Egyptian queen threatens to tear the empire apart. The play is unique in its sprawling structure and grand scope, portraying its protagonists as larger-than-life figures whose love transcends the boundaries of politics and death. It is a magnificent study of the clash between duty and desire on a global stage.

    "Seth Kantner illuminates an Alaska most of us will never know." —Andrea Barrett, author of Ship Fever 
     
     
     
    When Seth Kantner's Ordinary Wolves was published it was a literary revelation of sorts. In a raw, stylized voice it told the story of a white boy growing up with homesteading parents in Arctic Alaska and trying to reconcile his largely subsistence and Native-style upbringing with the expectations and realities tied to his race. It hit numerous bestseller lists, was critically acclaimed, and won a number of awards. 
     
     
     
    Seth's nonfiction second book, the memoir Shopping for Porcupine, was even more compelling for many—the same raw details of a homesteading upbringing, but intensely personal. Now, in Swallowed by the Great Land, he once again brings us into his lyrical wilderness existence. 
     
     
     
    Swallowed by the Great Land features slice-of-life essays that further reveal the duality in the author's own life today, and also in the village and community that he inhabits—a mosaic of all life on the tundra. Unique characters, village life, wilderness and the larger landscape, a warming Arctic, and hunting and other aspects of subsistence living are all explored in varied yet intimate stories.

    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. 
    Topics covered in this book: 
    1. Asking about family 
    2. Asking about relationship status 
    3. Expressing frequency 
    4. Talking about spare time activities and hobbies

    A powerful report on the aftereffects of the genocide in Rwanda—and on the near impossibility of reconciliation between survivors and killersIn two acclaimed previous works, the noted French journalist Jean Hatzfeld offered a profound, harrowing witness to the unimaginable pain and horror in the mass killings of one group of people by another.  Combining his own analysis of the events with interviews from both the Hutu killers who carried out acts of unimaginable depravity and the Tutsi survivors who somehow managed to escape, in one, based mostly on interviews with Tutsi survivors, he explored in unprecedented depth the witnesses' understanding of the psychology of evil and their courage in survival; in the second, he probed further, in talks with a group of Hutu killers about their acts of unimaginable depravity.Now, in The Antelope's Strategy, he returns to Rwanda seven years later to talk with both the Hutus and Tutsis he'd come to know—some of the killers who had been released from prison or returned from Congolese exile, and the Tutsi escapees who must now tolerate them as neighbors. How are they managing with the process of reconciliation? Do you think in their hearts it is possible? The enormously varied and always surprising answers he gets suggest that the political ramifications of the international community's efforts to insist on resolution after these murderous episodes are incalculable. This is an astonishing exploration of the pain of memory, the nature of stoic hope, and the ineradicability of grief.
