Historia
This is a story about the dirty secrets of the most powerful people in the world—including Donald Trump. It is based on exclusive interviews with dozens of high-level sources—intelligence officers in the CIA, FBI, and the KGB, thousands of pages of FBI investigations, police investigations, and news articles in English, Russian, and Ukrainian. American Kompromat shows that from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, kompromat was used in operations far more sinister than the public could ever imagine.

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of its original publication, here is a new translation of the classic story of the life and loves of a poet/physician during the turmoil of the Russian Revolution.

Set against this backdrop of cruelty and strife is Zhivago’s love for the tender and beautiful Lara.

Historia
A book about what humans have done to the world and what we have done to ourselves. Specifically, it is a book about ‘Man’s best friends’ – their origin-myths, and their place in the world before they were coopted into human society and ideas of pure breeding and dysgenics. The Dogs also imagines a future where dogs develop the power of speech; led by the non-violent UnderDogs and the more radical Der Uberhünd, the animals of the world begin demanding their rights.

What a trip through the poetry dog-version of Animal Farm. Beautiful poetry and reading by Michael. Supercool background music. Look, I’m a cat lady and i still enjoyed it. That says A LOT.

Historia
Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

Historia
One summer day in 1941, half of the Polish town of Jedwabne murdered the other half, 1,600 men, women, and children, all but seven of the town's Jews. Neighbors tells their story. This is a shocking, brutal story that has never before been told. It is the most important study of Polish-Jewish relations to be published in decades and should become a classic of Holocaust literature. Jan Gross pieces together eyewitness accounts and other evidence into an engulfing reconstruction of the horrific July day remembered well by locals but forgotten by history.

Harsh on Poles
Revisado: 02-04-24
Sad story of 1600 people killed in a small village, but not typical of Polish treatment of Jews in WW2. And to say that the Poles befriended the Nazis in a genuine way is outrageous. No comparison to the rest of the country or mention of the 500 year relatively peaceful relationship between goyim Poles and Jewish Poles. This writer hates Poles! I remember when this came out in 2001! It’s time to focus on the vladdy monster in the East!

The movie went in a different direction in the second half, which I prefer. But obviously i have my whole life of bias towards the masterpiece film. The narrator was EXCELLENT. i couldn’t believe some of the voices were him!

Historia
Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë's Gothic classic is an early exploration of women's independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure. At Thornfield, Jane meets the complex and mysterious Mr. Rochester, with whom she shares a complicated relationship that ultimately forces her to reconcile the conflicting passions of romantic love and religious piety.

Newton makes it worth it
Revisado: 11-18-23
Newton’s audio narration is top notch with such lively characters, making it a worthwhile listen for everyone, including someone like me who prefers more R-rated type stuff.
Here’s my review of the book:
#JaneEyre is the prototypical #Victorian novel. Although the general plot, character analyses, and themes are things you learn about in maybe junior high school, I have found a personal connection with not only this book, but with the Brontë family themselves AND the region they grew up: Northern England 🏴, and even more specifically Haworth, the #bronteparsonage , and the beautifully mysterious #Pennine Moors.
Having been to the region myself and raged with the exclusive Brontë Society, i have been able to form a TRENCHANT idea 💡 of what it was to be a family of four in the early 1800s living in the middle of nowhere (no offense! I mean that in a good way, especially these days). #CharlotteBronte , the author of Jane Eyre died at age 38 because of her pregnancy. And she was considered old compared to her sister, Emily, of Wuthering Heights fame, who died at age 30 of tuberculosis, the Covidx10 of its time.
Alas, if nothing else, having at least a rudimentary understanding of these writers and the challenges they overcame (young women writing against Victorian Christianity and its values from the middle of nowhere, oh no, I’ve said it again!) should inspire YOU to write ✍️ more.
“Amen; even so, come, Lord Jesus!” or whatever…
