I was a good girl. I ate my vegetables, volunteered at the local autism centre and sat in the front pew of church every Sunday.Then, I got cancer.What the hell kind of reward was that for a boring life well lived?I was a seventeen-year-old paradigm of virtue and I was tired of it. So, when I finally ran into the man I'd been writing to since he saved my life as a little girl and he offered to show me the dark side of life before I left it for good, I said yes. Only, I didn't know that Zeus Garro was the President of The Fallen MC and when you made a deal with a man who is worse than the devil, there was no going back...This is Daddy Zeus Garro's story from Lessons In Corruption. A standalone in The Fallen Men Series.

BASED ON THE HIT ALBUM BY PROGRESSIVE METAL GIANTS DREAM THEATER In a not so distant future, our world has returned to the ugliness of feudalism. Only this time, those in power control the servant class with the very thing that once inspired men to rise up and take back their lives-music. But it is not the music of old. That music is forgotten. No, this new music is engineered entirely by machines. This music suppresses that part of humanity which might be inspired. This music suppresses hope.But what is old will be made new again.In the village of Ravenskill lives a young man, Gabriel, who comes with a gift of power. A gift of music. As a human expression.Gabriel's brother, Arhys, leads a rebel militia that is trying to liberate the people. And he believes Gabriel's gift is the key; a key he hopes will help him keep a promise he made his wife on her deathbed.But the emperor and his son have different plans-to maintain control. Those plans may find an unlikely challenger in their own family. And the resulting conflict may yield lasting consequences. For them all.With music as a moving force, the choices each player must make will bring them to a shared moment of pain. And perhaps redemption.

Dans la première édition du roman, paru chez Charles Gosselin en mars 1831, trois chapitres sont coupés en raison des contraintes de longueur imposées par l'éditeur : ce sont le chapitre « Impopularité » (IV, 4) ainsi que les deux chapitres formant le livre V (« Abbas beati Martini » et « Ceci tuera cela »). Ces chapitres sont publiés dans la deuxième édition du roman, publiée en 1832, et considérée jusqu'à ce jour comme l'édition définitive. -- L'incendie de la cathédrale (2019) : Le 15 avril 2019, un violent incendie détruit la flèche et latotalité de la toiture couvrant la nef, le choeur et le transept deNotre-Dame de Paris.

Au lendemain del'incendie, le président de la République, Emmanuel Macron,annonce sa volonté de voir la reconstruction achevée dans undélai de cinq ans.-- Les passages prémonitoires de Victor Hugo : 188 ans après la parution de l'oeuvre de Victor Hugo, le bâtiment est ravagé par les flammes, le 15 avril 2019. Certains passages troublants du livre de Victor Hugo relatent : "Tous les yeux s'étaient levés vers le haut de l'église. Ce qu'ils voyaient était extraordinaire. Sur le sommet de la galerie la plus élevée, plus haut que la rosace centrale, il y avait une grande flamme qui montait entre les deux clochers avec des tourbillons d'étincelles, une grande flamme désordonnée et furieuse dont le vent emportait par moments un lambeau dans la fumée" "Au-dessus de la flamme, les énormes tours, de chacune desquelles on voyait deux faces crues et tranchées, l'une toute noire, l'autre toute rouge, semblaient plus grandes encore de toute l'immensité de l'ombre qu'elles projetaient jusque dans le ciel" (Victor Hugo)-- Le soutien au chantier : En soutien au chantier de reconstruction de la cathédrale, une partie des bénéfices de cette édition est reversé durant un an à la Fondation du Patrimoine créé dans le cadre de la mission de sauvegarde du patrimoine confiée à Stéphane Bern par le Président de la République en septembre 2017.

The Turner Diaries, a futuristic action-adventure novel, has been an underground bestseller for more than four decades. It chronicles a future America wracked by government oppression, revolutionary violence, and guerrilla war.The Turner Diaries is much more than an action-adventure novel: It warns us of how American society might unravel if the immigration and racial policies being pursued then -- which are being pursued to an even greater extent today -- were allowed to continue. It is an appeal to ordinary Americans to take responsibility for what is happening to their country and to their world; it is an appeal for them to change course before its nightmare predictions come true. Unfortunately, America has not changed course -- and so the message of The Turner Diaries is more important than ever.The Turner Diaries first appeared in the newspaper Attack! in serialized form starting in 1975, with one chapter appearing each month. It was published as a book in 1978. This second edition was released in 1980. It is set in what was then the future -- the 1990s.The book follows the adventures of underground fighter Earl Turner, as described in his personal diary, discovered 100 years after the revolution that swept away a corrupt and tyrannical regime, delivered America back to its people, and remade the world.
