Beschreibung

In "As We Are and As We May Be," Walter Besant explores the intricate tapestry of social reform and human potential through a blend of narrative and philosophical discourse. The book is written in a didactic style that seamlessly intertwines storytelling with critical analysis, making it a significant work in the context of late Victorian literature, which grappled with the rapid changes brought about by industrialization and urbanization. Besant presents a vision of an ideal society, emphasizing the importance of education, freedom, and moral integrity as mechanisms for social change, thereby inviting readers to consider both the harsh realities of their contemporary world and the possibilities for a more equitable future. Walter Besant, a prominent novelist and social commentator of the late 19th century, was deeply influenced by the socio-economic conditions of his time. His experiences as a pioneer in the Society of Authors and his commitment to social causes provided a rich backdrop for his writings. Besant's advocacy for the rights of the working class and his belief in the transformative power of collective action are evident throughout this work, revealing him as a visionary concerned with the plight of his fellow citizens. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of literature, social justice, and utopian thought. Besant'Äôs compelling arguments and vivid illustrations not only provoke reflection but also inspire action, making it an essential read for anyone passionate about reforming society and envisioning a better world.

    Vuoi imparare come liberarti dai tuoi limiti per raggiungere i tuoi obiettivi?  
    Potresti avere le probabilità accatastate contro di te, ma se hai un ardente desiderio di spingere, nulla può fermarti. 
    Il peggior rimpianto che avremmo mai avuto nella vita sarebbe quello di arrivare alla fine della nostra vita solo per renderci conto che ci sono state molte imprese che avremmo potuto fare se avessimo avuto il coraggio di andare oltre paure, critiche, dubbi e dubbi. 
    Una storia che si distingue per me nella Bibbia quando si tratta di raggiungere gli obiettivi è la storia di Neemia. Nonostante le forze dell'opposizione e ridicolizzarono Neemia, tenne d'occhio il gol. Si rifiutò semplicemente di essere fermato e, alla fine, ottenne ciò che i nemici dedichi impossibili. 
    Non c'è da stupirsi che Robert Kiyosaki abbia detto che non è uno scrittore più venduto ma un autore di bestseller. Sono arrivato alla consapevolezza del fatto che non è la grammatica ma le emozioni che sei in grado di comunicare ai tuoi lettori e l'impatto che i tuoi pensieri hanno nella loro vita che creano la differenza. 
    In questo libro discuteremo i seguenti argomenti: 
    • Le tue convinzioni modellano la tua realtà 
    • Puoi migliorare le tue convinzioni 
    •  Pensare all'indietro è d'un must  
    • Rivela opportunità 
    ...  E molto altro ancora  
    Non devi essere il migliore per raggiungere i tuoi obiettivi. Devi solo essere abbastanza bravo in ciò che conta davvero. Ci sono cose in cui sei già bravo e ci sono cose in cui puoi migliorare. Devi solo identificare le cose in quest'ultima categoria e fare di più.

    “Concise, engaging . . . [A] superb study of the US Catholic community in the Civil War era.” —Civil War Book Review Anti-Catholicism has had a long presence in American history. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, many Catholic Americans considered it a chance to prove their patriotism once and for all. Exploring how Catholics sought to use their participation in the war to counteract religious and political nativism in the United States, Excommunicated from the Union reveals that while the war was an alienating experience for many of the 200,000 Catholics who served, they still strove to construct a positive memory of their experiences—in order to show that their religion was no barrier to their being loyal American citizens. “[A] masterful interrogation of the fusion of faith, national crisis, and ethnic identity at a critical moment in American history. This is a notable and welcome contribution to Catholic, Civil War, and immigrant history.”? Journal of Southern History

    Are you ready to enter the fascinating world of Celtic mythology? 
    Do you know that the Celtic culture and folklore, though with a primarily Irish origin, has widespread branches across the globe - as far as the British, Scottish, and Welsh cultures of Europe, and right into the Euro-Asian territory of Turkey? 
    We live in a modern world that explains most myths and legends. However, there is still much that cannot be explained. To better understand who we are, it is essential to know where we came from and the cultures of our past. 
    Celtic mythology is one of the most intriguing European mythologies because of its great benefits, which are based on its high sense of heroism, adventure, heroism, romance, and magical prowess 
    Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist. 
    In this book, for the first time, James Gaiman brings together the best stories of Celtic mythology. 
    This audiobook covers all this and much more, including:Irish Myths: Children of Lir , The Wooing Of Étain, The Cattle Raid of Cooley, The Salmon of KnowledgeScottish Myths: Blue Men of Minch, Sawney Bean, Myth of the SelkieBreton Myths: Sword of Arthur, Arthur’s GiantWelsh Myths: The four branches of Mabinogi and stories of Lyr’s descendentsAnd many other amazing tales!

    Carthage was one of the great ancient civilizations, and at its peak, the wealthy Carthaginian empire dominated the Mediterranean against the likes of Greece and Rome, with commercial enterprises and influence stretching from Spain to Turkey. In fact, at several points in history it had a very real chance of replacing the fledgling Roman empire or the failing Greek poleis (city-states) altogether as master of the Mediterranean. Although Carthage by far preferred to exert economic pressure and influence before resorting to direct military power (and even went so far as to rely primarily on mercenary armies paid with its vast wealth for much of its history, it nonetheless produced a number of outstanding generals, from the likes of Hanno Magnus to, of course, the great bogeyman of Roman nightmares himself: Hannibal.  
    	Certain foreign policy decisions led to continuing enmity between Carthage and the burgeoning power of Rome, and what followed was a series of wars which turned from a battle for Mediterranean hegemony into an all-out struggle for survival. Although the Romans gained the upper hand in the wake of the First Punic War, the Carthaginians brought the Romans to their knees for over a decade during the Second Punic War. Of course, they were led in Italy by the legendary Hannibal Barca, who maintained his army near Rome for nearly 15 years, but never attempted to march on Rome.  
    	One overlooked figure in the Punic Wars is Hamilcar Barca, who is now best remembered for being Hannibal’s father. However, before Hannibal marched out of Spain, it was Hamilcar who had positioned forces there, and he was already a significant historical figure in his own right. Indeed, had it not been for his death, his legacy likely would have been more important than that of his illustrious son, who is now remembered as one of history’s greatest generals.

    YOU NEVER LOVE A BOOK THE WAY YOU LOVE A BOOK WHEN YOU ARE TEN. 
     
    Writing as Lemony Snicket, Daniel Handler has led several generations of young readers into that special and curious space of being hopelessly lost, and joyfully finding yourself, in the essential strangeness of literature. The wondrous and perilous journey of the Baudelaire orphans sprung from the author’s own path, from his childhood discovery of Baudelaire’s poetry through the countless peculiarities of his pursuit of a literary life—abject failure and startling success, breakthrough and breakdown, concordance and controversy—lit along the way by the books and culture he loved best. 
     
    At once a personal memoir and a literary exploration, a how-to book and a critical inquiry, a sequence of stories and a series of events, And Then? And Then? What Else? is a book not just for anyone curious about the creator of Lemony Snicket, but for anyone who loved books when they were a child, and still loves them now.
