" Le 12 juin 1624, un cavalier fort maigre entrait dans la ville de Naples. Autour de lui bondissaient des lazzaroni noirs et haletants qui semaient les roses de Paestum sous les pas de son coursier. Accompagné par des gentilshommes à pied qui, le chapeau à la main, le front nu sous l'ardent soleil, encourageaient l'ivresse populaire, il s'arrêtait fréquemment sous les balcons, d'où tombaient sur sa face ridée une pluie de fleurs, mille bénédictions confuses et mille éclairs enthousiastes lancés par des regards espagnols et napolitains. Quel triomphateur fut jamais ridicule ? Celui-ci avait près de six pieds de haut, la mine longue et hâve, le cheveu rare et ébouriffé, l'¿il distrait et égaré, le menton pointu, le nez petit, le teint plombé, la taille excessivement déliée, et les jambes d'une forme et d'une dimension très menues. Ce long cavalier, vêtu d'habits magnifiques assez mal ajustés, et qui portait une grande chaîne d'or pendue à son cou, saluait à droite et à gauche d'un air content et distrait, pendant que les baise-mains lui arrivaient de toutes parts, du fond des carrosses, du porche des églises et du sommet des terrasses..."

" Sir Samuel Romilly, William Wilberforce, lord Dudley, - l'Angleterre de ces derniers temps a produit des caractères plus forts et plus grands, - nuls qui soient plus aimables.C'étaient, comme le dit excellemment le poète ancien, des âmes blanches (non animi candidiores) dont l'essor traversa l'orage et la foudre. Elles sortirent du nuage les ailes brûlées. Ce furent trois victimes. L'homme de loi donna sa vie, l'homme de lettres sa raison, l'homme de piété ne donna que sa fortune. Romilly mourut de sa propre main, Wilberforce mourut pauvre, et Dudley mourut fou.L'étude de ces trois personnages contemporains offre non-seulement un intérêt doux et vif, mais une leçon puissante. Ce ne sont pas des meneurs d'hommes ; ils n'ont ni les qualités ni les vices de ce métier nécessaire. Ils ne mettent pas la main sur les grandes roues de la politique ; mais le feu et la fumée les environnent et quelquefois les souillent, l'engrenage les emporte et les anéantit. Au milieu d'une civilisation aussi brûlante et aussi active que le fut celle de l'Angleterre entre les années 1780 et 1815, il faut voir ces délicates vertus et ces intelligences exquises jouer leur rôle, prendre leur place et marquer leur passage..."

Dari Kata Pengantar... "Suara narasi ini garang. Narasi ini juga bersifat profetik dalam seruannya untuk membuka mata kita terhadap kenyataan pahit militer, pertobatan, dan penebusan diri kita sendiri. Sama seperti saya harus memblokir serangan mimpi buruk Rubicon dan berteriak padanya untuk berhenti, penulis mewakili suara Kekasihku, berteriak pada kita untuk bangun dan menghentikan pembunuhan yang tidak perlu terhadap musuh-musuh khayalan kita, para veteran yang kita kirim dengan tidak hormat untuk dibantai, dan keluarga-keluarga yang kemudian ditinggalkan untuk mengatasi kekacauan. Suara Sean setajam pengalaman Rubicon yang mengiris. Rubicon adalah orang yang sangat bersemangat dan intens, seperti yang akan Anda lihat saat Anda membaca. Sean sangat cocok dengan semangat dan intensitas ini. Untuk menghadapi intensitas penderitaan ini, kita membutuhkan suara yang sangat ganas untuk memanggil kita dengan cepat dan tegas pada kebenaran tentang apa yang sedang terjadi. Kita membutuhkan hal ini karena kita telah terjerat begitu lama dalam tipu daya dan ada begitu banyak hal yang dipertaruhkan."Ketika saya terus memproses penderitaan yang telah ditimbulkan oleh Kekasihku dan penderitaan yang telah dia alami, itu seperti berjalan melalui neraka yang mengamuk. Api memiliki dua kapasitas. Api dapat membakar dan menghancurkan, hanya menyisakan kehancuran dan abu. Api juga dapat memurnikan dan membuka ruang bagi kehidupan baru untuk berkembang. Selama 40 tahun Rubicon telah diliputi oleh neraka api yang tak terpadamkan. Hanya dengan Rahmat dan ketabahanlah yang membuatnya tidak menjadi tumpukan abu. Dengan membiarkan dirinya menjadi cukup rentan untuk menceritakan kebenaran dari pengalamannya, pemurnian pun dimulai. Mengerjakan buku ini telah memberinya kerentanan ganda. Dia harus menghidupkan kembali setiap misi dan patah hati saat menceritakan kembali kisahnya. Buku ini mentah dalam kejujuran dan kerentanannya. Perlakukanlah buku ini dengan kejujuran dan keterbukaan yang sama seperti yang ditawarkan kepada Anda. Anda akan ditransformasikan dalam pemahaman Anda tentang kemanusiaan. Hormati dan undanglah buku ini untuk membakar segala perlawanan dalam diri Anda yang menghalangi Anda untuk menerima kebenarannya untuk memurnikan Anda.""Saya mengundang Anda, para pembaca, untuk tidak terjebak dalam intensitas dan sifat luar biasa dari narasi ini. Jika Anda terjebak dalam keterkejutan, penilaian, dan opini pribadi, Anda akan kehilangan kebenaran pesan yang pada akhirnya dapat membawa pemahaman dan perubahan radikal. Tulisan ini memiliki potensi untuk mengguncang Anda hingga ke inti dan menginspirasi Anda untuk membuka hati dan menemukan belas kasih. Izinkan tulisan ini menyentuh Anda secara mendalam dan melakukan penyembuhan. Kita semua berada dalam masalah ini bersama-sama. Anda AKAN terkejut. Pengalaman ini sangat mengejutkan. Beberapa dari Anda akan terkejut, karena Anda tidak akan percaya bahwa tuntutan jahat seperti itu dibebankan kepada seorang pemuda di usia 18 tahun dan bahwa dia melakukan perbuatan jahat seperti itu atas nama "kebebasan dan kemerdekaan". Dan Anda bahkan tidak akan mau menghibur diri dengan anggapan bahwa ini bukan hanya kisah seorang veteran. Ada ribuan kisah yang mirip dengan kisah ini."

" Le 16 novembre 1726, trois voitures de deuil quittaient la forteresse d'Ahlden, château féodal des ducs de Brunswick. Un écusson voilé d'un crêpe s'abaissait au-dessus de la porte ; le pont-levis retentissait sous le poids du catafalque, et le même blason, composé des armoiries écartelées de la maison d'Olbreuse en Poitou et de la maison princière de Brunswick-Lünebourg, se répétait sur le cercueil et sur les carrosses. Il était difficile de comprendre la solennité de ces funérailles en ce lieu pauvre et isolé. Dans la première voiture, il y avait une femme qui pleurait ; dans la seconde et la troisième, on apercevait quelques figures de cérémonie, physionomies plates de baillis, de surintendants et de dames d'honneur germaniques. Les eaux demi-glacées de l'Aller, éclairées d'un soleil gris et terne, la rue tortueuse du petit village d'Ahlden avec ses cailloux inégaux, la pauvre population étiolée de tisserands chétifs qui apparaissaient sur les portes, le bonnet à la main, pour saluer le cadavre, composaient une scène triste et complète, à laquelle il ne manquait rien, pas même les larmes de ces bonnes gens du village et les pas mesurés des quarante trabans au costume hongrois, montés sur de lourds chevaux. Six cents personnes environ, hommes, femmes et enfants, suivirent humblement le cercueil de leur bienfaitrice, qui allait dormir, après une vie de douleur, dans un caveau de princes..."

" De nouveaux mémoires d'Horace Walpole, publiés à Londres, doivent fixer l'attention, surtout si on les rapproche de quelques publications récentes qui ont trait à la même époque et qui renferment de curieux documents.La vie d'Horace Walpole, vie oisive, que tout le monde connaît, ne mérite guère d'être rappelée. Il naquit en 1712, du mariage contracté entre un gentilhomme campagnard, membre du parlement, et la petite-fille d'un lord-maire nommé Shorter ; élevé à Éton pendant que son père montait péniblement les degrés de la vie politique, il fit son tour d'Europe comme tout bon gentilhomme anglais, et revint assister comme spectateur ironique et attentif, sans vouloir jamais s'y mêler activement, au drame de la chambre des communes. Cette attitude d'observation dura jusqu'à sa mort, survenue en 1787, et lui obit une existence calme et détestée. Personne n'a été plus décrié de son vivant, plus vivement attaqué par ses ennemis, plus mal défendu par ses amis : on ne pouvait souffrir son impertinence froide et son ricanement perpétuel..."

" Ce fut un poète, hélas ! et un poète perdu pour l'avenir. Il avait de l'esprit, un esprit ardent et fin; il rimait d'une manière merveilleuse. La langue poétique se pliait et se roulait sous sa plume comme la matière fusible se tord et s'arrondit au souffle du verrier ; il savait beaucoup sur les hommes et les choses. Faire la guerre et l'amour, mener la plus fringante vie d'aventure, amuser la romanesque princesse de Gonzague, plaire à la grande Christine, deviner l'italien et l'espagnol, être un peu Falstaff et un peu don Quichotte ; paraître à la cour, hanter le cabaret, vivre dans un grenier, visiter les quatre parties du monde, et finir par expirer sans feu et sans lumière, sur le grabat de son taudis, rue de Seine, ne laissant après lui que son feutre, son épée, sa bouteille vide et deux volumes mal imprimés, voilà tout Saint-Amant. Qu'en dites-vous ? N'est-ce pas une des bonnes figures de ce temps semi-héroïque dont Gallot est le représentant ?Les Christine, les Marie de Gonzague, les Mlle de Montpensier, conviennent à Saint-Amant. Il les flatte, il les loue, il vit pour elles. Il dédie à Christine son principal ouvrage, une idylle héroïque. Toute la société du coadjuteur et de la fronde roule autour de lui..."

"... J'ai marqué sur ce berceau des États-Unis les dates importantes : 1633, 1638, 1673 ; l'émigration, la persécution, la législation. Peu d'années après cette dernière date, en 1682, un puritain fervent du Northamptonshire, nommé Josiah Franklin, fatigué de ne pouvoir prier à son aise, suivit le torrent de ses frères, et émigra pour la Nouvelle-Angleterre, emmenant avec lui une jeune femme et trois enfants. C'était une famille pauvre, laborieuse, croyante et habituée à braver le pouvoir. Elle en avait la tradition comme l'orgueil. Sous le règne de Marie Tudor, elle avait professé, dans sa cabane du Northamptonshire, les dogmes de Calvin. La bible calviniste était renfermée dans un vieux tabouret de chêne couvert de velours. Le soir, un des enfants se plaçait en vedette à la porte de la chaumière, pour avertir en cas de péril. Le grand-père posait le tabouret sur ses genoux, soulevait le couvercle, tournait les feuillets et faisait la lecture. La sentinelle annonçait la venue de l'appariteur ecclésiastique, chargé de dénoncer ces grands délits ; on refermait le couvercle, le tabouret retombait à sa place naturelle, chacun reprenait son travail, et l'appariteur ne voyait rien. Josiah Franklin, l'un des dignes et humbles fils de cette vieille race opposante, alla donc à Boston, s'établir comme fabricant de savon et de chandelles. Il eut dix-sept enfants ; le quinzième de ces enfants naquit en 1706, fit beaucoup de bruit dans le monde, et fut Benjamin Franklin..."

È un libro destinato a pungere la "curiosità" dello svogliato pubblico contemporaneo, come dice l'autore nella premessa, sfruttando uno scandaloso caso di cronaca mondana. Gregorio Leti (1630-1701), libertino, apostata del cattolicesimo, transfuga nella calvinista Ginevra, scrittore perennemente all'indice dei libri proibiti, ad appena un anno dalla morte del protagonista, pubblica la vicenda di un amore singolare, sfrontato e peccaminoso, che ha dato materia ai pettegolezzi di tutta Italia (e non solo). Fingendosi un testimone oculare e attingendo sicuramente a fonti attendibili, Leti rispetta i più importanti dati storici, ma non esita a inventare caratteri, situazioni, eventi, colloqui, corrispondenze, fino a trasformare la sua narrazione in un'"opera mista di storia e d'invenzione" ovvero in un autentico "romanzo storico".

Chanakya Neeti is the story of Chanakya, conventionally known as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta. He was initially a professor of economics and political science at the ancient Takshashila University, and later on administered the first Maurya emperor, Chandragupta Maurya, to ascend to supremacy at a young age. Chanakya is one of the greatest figures of wisdom and knowledge in the Indian history; he is one of the finest philosophers and diplomat in the country's past.Chanakya was a King maker and crowned Chandragupta Maurya as the ruler and preferred to serve him as his mentor. The book is a dissertation on the model way of life and shows his in-depth understanding of the Indian ways. These realistic and potent tactics provide a path to live a systematic and designed life leading to success in all facets. If understood well, this book can be an answer to all everyday problems in one's life.Chanakya also introduced Neeti-Sutras, sayings or pithy sentences, which inform people about the ideal behavior that one should carry. He used these sutras to spruce Chandragupta and other chosen disciples in the art of ruling a kingdom. But these sutras are highly relevant to today's times too due to Chanakya's superb understanding of the timeless Indian mindset. It still stands to be one of the best management books for the current times.Chanakya Neetis and Chanakya Sutras have been compiled together in this book to make his astuteness easily accessible to readers. This book was published by Diamond Books in 2012, and is available in paperback.Key Features:* This book discusses Chanakya's influential strategies and ideologies in a very lucid manner for easier understanding.The translation from Sanskrit to Bengali has made the read very convenient.

In tegenstelling tot de door hem zelf gecreërde mythe, heeft Trotski het stalinisme praktisch voorbereid en theoretisch onderbouwd. Maar Huhn graaft dieper dan dit. Hij onderzoekt de wortels van niet alleen stalinisme en trotskisme, maar ook van het bolsjewisme en Lenin's theorie. Deze ideologieën verwachtten alle heil van de staat, met name van de vorm die deze aannam in de Duitse oorlogseconomie aan het begin van de 20ste eeuw.Willy Huhn had een afkeer van heilsprofeten. Hij valt niet in smaak bij wie daarnaar op zoek zijn. Daarentegen biedt dit boek veel gelegenheid tot kritische reflexie, ook op de inhoud van sommige van Huhns stellingen.

For more than half a century, Special Forces and CIA legend Billy Waugh dedicated his life to tracking down and eliminating America's most virulent enemies. Operating from the darkest shadows and most desolate corners of the world, he made his mark in many of the most important operations in the annals of U.S. Spec Ops.He spent seven and a half years behind enemy lines in Vietnam as a member of a covert group of elite commandos. He trailed Osama Bin Laden in Khartoum in the early '90s, and would have killed the terrorist kingpin if his superiors had allowed it. And at the age of seventy-two, he marched through the frozen high plains of Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.Hunting the Jackal is the astonishing true account of the singular career of a courageous soldier in his nation's shadow wars -- including his pivotal role in the previously untold story of the capture of the most infamous and elusive assassin in history, Carlos the Jackal.

The night of the next Presidential election is imagined in this fictional satire. Everyone is Donald crazy - for different reasons - but can reason and reality shine through? A "what-if" of the near future, imagined by the best-selling author, Kitty Wandsworth.

"Selah" is a non-fiction, autobiographical account of the political firestorm and federal investigation surrounding a controversial mayoral administration. Written from the first-hand perspective of the whistleblower who lit the match (while redacting all specific names of individuals and organizations involved), this book will have a feel and tone which is 2 parts crime thriller, one part Christian commentary on suffering and injustice among us.For readers who are familiar with the legacy of corruption that hangs over certain cities, it will provide deep insights into how the machine works and who the puppeteers behind the curtain may be. For outsiders (as I once was) who are only vaguely familiar with the sometimes corrupt under-belly of a city, the book will be a Masterclass, revealing to readers how corruption hides in plain sight in this unique part of the country. Finally, for those who happen to be part of the faith community, it will touch on the tensions between our calling to do what is righteous vs the reality that unrighteousness often prevails in the short-term. When the world imagines what it is to be a whistleblower, I suspect they envision what I used to; a person sliding a folder of evidence over to authorities, answering questions and then walking off. I don't know how true that perception is but my experience was different. The degree of convolution of what I uncovered required an approach more akin to a chess match. The feds, The Mayor's Office, local nonprofits, local corporations, politicians, City Council members, political action committees, the regional/national press and others were all players on the same chess board. Each of us possessed one, maybe two pieces on the board and had the responsibility to move in a way that ensures victory for our side. However, in this game of chess, we play by uncommon rules; people switch sides, switch pieces and are sometimes not even revealed until it's too late... Checkmate.

Konrad von Faber du Faur was born in Paris, France on the 27th of May, 1895. He had one older sister, Maria, who was born in 1893 and died in 1950, and a younger sister, Vera, who was born in 1898 and died in 1990. Vera is the author of this book.... With the outbreak of the War in August, 1914, Konrad entered the Imperial Army, serving in the Kavallerie (the cavalry), in a Schwere Reiter-Regiment. He fought in Belgium and France early in the War, and then on the Eastern Front, going deep into Russia, including territory which is now Lithuania, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. He loved horses but found that they had value mostly for scouting. In a war of machine guns and high explosive shells, trenches and barbed wire, cavalry charges were obsolete.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists who uncovered the Panama Papers, a gripping, real-life thriller following the authors' attempt to uncover the truth about one of the world's most wanted men. Karl Lee, alias Li Fangwei, plays a key role in the secret struggle between the world powers, bypassing Western sanctions to supply dictators with the weapons they need to wipe out their neighbouring countries - or even to trigger a third world war.For almost two decades, intelligence agencies have been hunting for Karl Lee.

Now, four award-winning investigative journalists set out to find him.Following the routes of his deliveries and his money, the authors track down Karl Lee's businesses in China and uncover his network of shell companies. During their investigation, they get embroiled deeper and deeper in the shady world of the Chinese phantom, and realise that Karl Lee is just a pawn in a much bigger game of modern warfare and international espionage.

"Bestselling historian and Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands narrates the fierce debate over America's role in the world in the runup to World War II through its two most important figures: President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who advocated intervention, and his isolationist nemesis, aviator and popular hero Charles Lindbergh. Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939 launched a momentous period of decision-making for the United States. With fascism rampant abroad, should America take responsibility for its defeat? For popular hero Charles Lindbergh, saying no to another world war only twenty years after the first was the obvious answer. Lindbergh had become famous and adored around the world after his historic first flight over the Atlantic in 1927. In the years since, he had emerged as a vocal critic of American involvement overseas, rallying Americans toward isolationism as the nominal head of the America First Committee. As Hitler advanced across Europe and threatened the British Isles, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt struggled to turn the tide of public opinion. With great effort, political shrewdness and outright deception-aided by secret British disinformation efforts in America-FDR readied the country for war. He pushed the US onto the world stage where it has stayed ever since. In this gripping narrative, H.W. Brands sheds light on a crucial tipping point in American history and depicts the making of a legendary president"--
