  While in London in 1897, Mark Twain was commissioned by William Randolph Hearst to report for the San Francisco Examiner on the sixtieth anniversary of Queen Victoria's ascension to the throne.Evoking historical detail reminiscent of passages in The Prince and the Pauper and Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, Twain compares the jubilee to his own original and imaginative account of the 1415 celebration following the English victory at Agincourt, and he also reflects on the rapid changes in the British Empire during the Victorian age.

  White Lies Matter - The Gospel...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  White Lies Matter: The Gospel of MAWA isn’t just a book—it’s a sermon, a roast, and a history lesson rolled into one blistering satire of American politics. Beneath the bright red MAGA cap, the author exposes what the slogan really meant: Make America White Again. 
  With wit as sharp as Twain, the bite of Carlin, and the unflinching honesty of Chappelle, this audiobook takes listeners on a journey through America’s not-so-secret gospel of racial nostalgia. From the election of Barack Obama that shook the foundations of white exceptionalism, to Steve Bannon and Donald Trump baptizing a movement in fear, grievance, and privilege, WLM uncovers how the “American Dream” was fenced off and sold as exclusive property. 
  Each chapter functions like a scripture reading from the Church of MAWA, complete with commandments, proverbs, and revelations that peel back patriotic veneers to reveal the machinery of exclusion underneath. It’s biting, it’s funny, and it’s devastatingly honest—because America’s greatest myths are also its greatest lies. 
  This is not a quiet audiobook. It’s meant to provoke laughter, outrage, and reflection in equal measure. Whether you’re a believer in the gospel of MAWA or a skeptic watching from the pews, White Lies Matter insists you confront the uncomfortable truth: racism was never a glitch in the system—it was the system. 
  At once irreverent and illuminating, this is satire that cuts to the bone and asks the question no campaign slogan dares to touch: Whose America are we really trying to make “great” again?

  KENDRICK LAMAR 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Kendrick Lamar, born Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, is a highly acclaimed rapper, songwriter, and filmmaker. He began releasing music as K.Dot in high school and signed with Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) in 2005. His second album, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, was gangsta rap-influenced and became the longest-charting hip hop studio album in Billboard history. His third album, To Pimp a Butterfly, infused hip-hop with African-American genres and became his first of five consecutive number-one albums. Lamar is known for his narrative songwriting, often incorporating social commentary and political criticism. He is considered a master of storytelling. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Kendrick Lamar's given name is Kendrick Lamar Duckworth and he was named after singer-songwriter Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations. His parents, who are African Americans from the South Side of Chicago, moved to Compton, California due to his father's affiliation with the Gangster Disciples. 
    
  As a child, Lamar was described by his mother as a loner and he lived in Section 8 housing and experienced homelessness while relying on welfare and food stamps. He was raised secular but also was taught the Bible by his grandmother and felt spiritually unsatisfied with the sermons. 
    
  In school, Lamar was a quiet and observant student with a stutter who excelled academically, and his first grade teacher encouraged him to write after she heard him correctly use the word "audacity". His seventh-grade English teacher introduced him to poetry, which he used to manage his psychological trauma and depression.

  Off the Road - A Modern-Day Walk...

  Jack Hitt

  When Jack Hitt set out to walk the 500 miles from France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, he submitted to the rigorous traditions of Europe's oldest form of packaged tour, a pilgrimage that has been walked by millions in the history of Christendom. 
   
   
   
  Off the Road is an unforgettable exploration of the sites that people believe God once touched: the strange fortress said to contain the real secret Adam learned when he bit into the apple; the sites associated with the murderous monks known as the Knights Templar; and the places housing relics ranging from a vial of the Virgin Mary's milk to a sheet of Saint Bartholomew's skin. Along the way, Jack Hitt finds himself persevering by day and bunking down by night with an unlikely and colorful cast of fellow pilgrims—a Flemish film crew, a drunken gypsy, a draconian Belgian air force officer, a man who speaks no languages, a one-legged pilgrim, and a Welsh family with a mule. 
   
   
   
  In the day-to-day grind of walking under a hot Spanish sun, Jack Hitt and his cohorts not only find occasional good meals and dry shelter but they also stumble upon some fresh ideas about old-time zealotry and modern belief. Off the Road is an engaging and witty travel memoir of an offbeat journey through history that turns into a provocative rethinking of the past.
