Winston Churchill

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "The River War," Winston Churchill offers a compelling account of the Second Sudanese War, blending personal narrative with historical analysis to illustrate the complexities of colonial conflict. Published in 1899, Churchill's literary style is characterized by vivid descriptions, sharp wit, and incisive commentary, revealing not only the realities of warfare but also the intricate social and political contexts of the time. Through detailed observation and engaging prose, he captures both the valor and the tragedy of the British campaign in Sudan, shedding light on the ethical dilemmas faced by imperial powers. Winston Churchill, a seasoned soldier and journalist prior to becoming a prominent political figure, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the military and his interactions with diverse cultures during his early career. Having served in the campaign as a cavalry officer, he provides a first-hand perspective that is both insightful and reflective, blending his personal journey with the broader implications of imperialism and its consequential impacts. For readers interested in military history, colonial studies, or Churchill's multifaceted legacy, "The River War" serves as a crucial resource. It invites readers to ponder the volatile interplay between power and morality and remains an essential work for anyone wishing to grasp the complexities of British imperialism in the late 19th century.

The Majesty Of Hanuman Neem...

Sripad Jaganantha Das

AN INSIDE LOOK AT INDIA’S GREATEST MYSTIC SAINT!

THE CHANT

The Hanuman Chalisa is a hymn in praise of Hanuman authored by Tulsi Das. The word 'chālīsā' means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Chalisa has forty verses. Hanuman is a great devotee of Ram and one of the central characters in the epic, Ramayan. He is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman – his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa.

Hanuman is the epitome of ultimate devotion manifested with its full glory unchallenged. By the power of his devotion to Sita Ram, he easily achieved supreme status as the perfect devotee and servitor.

Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa infuses one with unlimited energy and prana. This sacred mantra also increases a person’s resilience and they emerge victorious in every situation.

THE TEACHER

Neem Karoli Baba known to his followers as Maharaj-ji - was a mystic saint and devotee of Hanuman. Here is the essence of his remarkable life and teachings. He is known outside India for being the spiritual master of a number of Americans who traveled to India in the 1960s and 70s, including Ram Dass and Bhagavan Das, as well as musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal.

Dr. Richard Alpert, a former Harvard professor and Timothy Leary cohort, was an icon of the hippie, LSD-fueled revolution of the 1960s. Thereafter, on a trip to India - like Clark Kent changing into Superman - he became the much-beloved spiritual teacher Baba Ram Das. His 1970s' iconic book 'Be Here Now' turned on a generation to the deep, non-sectarian spirituality within us all.

The Gas and Flame Men - Baseball...

Jim Leeke

The Gas and Flame Men is the first full account of Major League ballplayers who served in the Chemical Warfare Service during World War I. Four players, two club executives, and a manager served in the small and hastily formed branch, six of them as gas officers. Remarkably, five of the seven—Christy Mathewson, Branch Rickey, Ty Cobb, George Sisler, and Eppa "Jeptha" Rixey—are now enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, New York. The son of a sixth Hall of Famer, player and manager Ned Hanlon, was a young officer killed in action in France with the First Gas Regiment. Prominent chemical soldiers also included veteran Major League catcher and future manager George "Gabby" Street and Boston Braves president and former Harvard football coach Percy D. Haughton. 
 
 
 
The Gas and Flame Men explores how these famous baseball men, along with an eclectic mix of polo players, collegiate baseball and football stars, professors, architects, and prominent social figures all came together in the Chemical Warfare Service. Jim Leeke examines their service and its long-term effects on their physical and mental health—and on Major League Baseball and the world of sports. The Gas and Flame Men also addresses historical inaccuracies and misperceptions surrounding Christy Mathewson's early death from tuberculosis, long attributed to wartime gas exposure.

Animal Bodies: On Death Desire...

Suzanne Roberts

How do we reckon with our losses? In Animal Bodies Suzanne Roberts explores the link between death and desire and what it means to accept our own animal natures, the parts we most often hide, deny, or consider only with shame—our taboo desires and our grief. In landscapes as diverse as the Salamanca’s cobbled streets, the Mekong River’s floating markets, Fire Island’s windswept beaches, Nashville’s honky-tonks, and the Sierra Nevada’s snowy slopes, Roberts interrogates her memory and tries to make sense of her own private losses (deaths of people and relationships), as well as more public losses, including a mass shooting in her hometown, environmental devastation in the Amazon rainforest, and wildfire evacuations. 
With lyricism, insight, honesty, and dark humor, these essays illuminate the sometimes terrible beauty of what it means to be human, deepening the conversation on death and grief, sexuality, and the shame that comes from surviving the world in a female body with all of its complexities. 
Please note: This collection features writing on sensitive topics for some listeners, including but not limited to abortion, sexual assault, and death resulting from various causes.
