    In 1823, Lord Byron rented the Casa Saluzzo at Albaro in the hills east of Genoa, Italy. The poet shared the 16th-century palazzo with his mistress, Teresa Giuccioli, her brother, and their exiled father, Count Gamba.His neighbors were Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, whose poet husband had recently drowned; Leigh Hunt, the critic and editor; and Edward Trelawney, a Cornish adventurer and close friend of both poets.A frequent visitor that summer was Lady Marguerite Blessington, who kept detailed notes of their many conversations. From these conversations, an intimate insight is gained into Byron''s personality, philosophy, mental state, opinion of himself, and the impression he made on others and society.The complexity of Byron''s character is revealed, as well as his phobias and rejection by English society for the scandals attached to his numerous amorous activities.This three-act play paints the portrait of a tormented man, obsessed with his congenital lameness and a pressing sense of solitude, despite or because of his numerous affairs with married women in his elusive quest for love.(About the Author)Nigel Patten was born near London in 1940, and has lived in Switzerland since 1961, where he taught English at a French high school. He has published 12 books, including historical novels, a biography, an English course for French speakers, and a play on the last weeks of the poet Shelley''s life.

    Този труд е разделен на две автономни книги. Първата книга, Държавата, представя една радикално нова политическа система на обществото, която е най-демократичната система изобщо възможна! Това е напълно ново общество, едно наистина гражданско общество, което иначе в капиталистическата система е само една утопия! В тази книга разглеждам принципите на научния социализъм, т.е. всички онези принципи на марксизма за държавата, които изграждат социализма като политическа система на равноправие и реална пряка демокрация. Втората книга, Икономическа теория на социализма, е продължение и, доколкото знам, единствено продължение на най-великия труд на Маркс - Капиталът! Икономическата наука за социализма прави Марксовия социализъм вече напълно възможен. В тази книга разглеждам икономическите закони, които изграждат социализма като по-ефективна икономическа система от капитализма. Тези закони превръщат социализма в една автоматична икономика - нещо немислимо досега в историята на световните икономически отношения. Тези закони правят социализма най-пазарната икономика изобщо възможна. От 1917 до 1991 година тоталитарната система в СССР и Източна Европа беше наречена социализъм и дори с научно безсмислените и фалшиви имена комунизъм и комунистически режим! Изразът комунистически режим е оксиморон, израз от две взаимно изключващи се научни понятия. В този режим официалната идеология беше уж марксизмът, но в действителност не можеше да търпи никаква марксистка критика. Напротив, тъкмо тази критика беше подложена на полицейско преследване и репресии като част от общия полицейски произвол на тоталитарния режим.

    Southern California. Today.Jewels Martin . . . Beneath the stylish clothes, the flowing hair, and the beautiful lean body beats the heart of a tiger. And on rare special occasions, she''d let the tiger out of its cage. Today was one of those days."I''m Jewels," she said, gracefully closing the distance between them and extending her hand.Taking it, he offered, "I''m Todd Windham." She liked what she saw. He had clear eyes, a firm jaw, and was clean shaven. He was slightly greying but had a full head of neatly trimmed hair - early fifties, slight build, almost athletic looking. She smiled as their eyes met, thinking to herself this might be fun. Innocence, passion, and betrayal . . .Having paid a precious price, the elites now know it requires considerably more than just having the president''s DNA on a blue dress. An expensive lesson they will never forget, nor ever repeat.A story of manipulation, wealth, power, and sex.The oldest profession in the world elevated to new heights; alive and well just below the surface, from the streets of Newport Beach to the hallowed halls of the White House itself.With organized escort services subtly working the waterfront, the NBPD has its hands full.But it''s not until the FBI shows up that things take an unexpected turn, with the very foundation of America''s financial system hanging in the balance, as layer after layer of The Spa is unveiled.To say the business of pleasure is alive and flourishing would be an understatement.Normalcy bias makes this scenario inconceivable, and even though the facts are all there in the history books, perhaps shrouded through the mists of time, but none-the-less available for anyone to read.Knowledge is one thing, as is power, money and sexuality. It is what one does with them that determines one''s destiny.Author BioMichael Fowlkes is the writer, producer, and director of the Amazon Prime television series "Inside Sportfishing." Recognized with 27 International Telly Awards for broadcast excellence, the program was also awarded Best Fishing Show of the Year by the Outdoor Writers Association of America. The author lives with his wife Kimberly and their fourth golden retriever Boots, on a secluded, wooded hillside in Laguna Beach, California. When not on location or in the studio, they spend as much time as they can onboard their restored 1966 classic sportfisher, the Vintage, at Catalina Island with family and friends.An Amazon #1 Best Selling author for his first erotic thriller Perfect Bait, The Spa is his second novel.

    Part manual of handy hints, part practical guide, and above all a humorous personal diary, A Tin of Tomatoes and a Tiny Scooter is a tale of what typically befalls those who choose to restore a classic vehicle. In this case, it is the author''s obscure 1960s model Italian motor scooter.Follow the almost quixotic journey, as Gary L. Edgar first imports the bike, and then begins the time and dollar-devouring process of restoring his 1964 Ducati Brio 48 motor scooter, an unloved oddity from the famous Italian motorcycle company.Outclassed in the era''s marketplace by Vespa and Lambretta, the Ducati Brio fluttered briefly into life before disappearing into obscurity as a now rare beast, even in its native Italy. It became the author''s mission to restore the Brio to something more than its former glory, to the road, and to the public eye.From a dealer in classic motorcycles in the town of Manduria in the south of Italy, the Brio travels in a shipping container along with tinned tomatoes, to eventually arrive in Brisbane, Australia.In this frequently hilarious saga of tears and triumphs, the tiny Brio finally emerges to win both public admiration and trophies at bike shows in Australia.Hop aboard for the ride of your life.(About the Author)Gary L. Edgar has lived most of his life in Brisbane, Australia. The former freelance copywriter is now retired and enjoys his passion of restoring old motorcycles and scooters. "The restoration had been serialized over the years in various motorcycle club magazines, but the reactions of the general public on the streets, in cafes, and at bike shows prompted me to commit the Brio''s story to a book."

    Noted scholar Raphael Israeli describes the surprising "normalization" process that occurred during the pandemic year 2020, in his latest book, Glittering Stars in a Dark Landscape: Early Auguries of the 2020 Arab "Normalization" with Israel.He explains how the 2020 explosion of the "normalization" between Israel and some Arab Gulf States was the fruit of a long process of Arab self-reckoning.Its fruition was crowned, thanks to the efforts of President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, with counsel from presidential advisor Jared Kushner.The process marks a revolution, insofar as it not only reverses the negative position taken by some Arab States that refused to deal with Israel as long as the Palestinian issue is not resolved, but in view of the Gulf States'' wealth and influence, this reversal will encourage others to follow in their footsteps.Great economic and political benefits will also accrue to Israel as a result.(About the Author)Raphael Israeli has taught Islamic, Chinese, and Middle Eastern history at Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

    The conquest of the city by Spaniards brings together five families, whose stories are told as they struggle to survive in war-torn Cordoba, while three families flee the city forever.The families are Muslim as well as Christian and Jews, whose ancestors had to convert to the Muslim faith or face exile. The hazardous journeys by the families that left the city and their uncertain futures are explored in this fascinating historical saga.To understand the situation of Cordoba and the Iberian Peninsula in the thirteenth century, historians point to the 711 invasion by a Berber Umayyad dynasty from North Africa. They defeated the ruling Visigoths, putting the entire Iberian Peninsula in their hands, except for the far northern part. Under Muslim governance, this area was known as Al Andalus. The Umayyad stayed in power until 1031. Between then and the conquest of Cordoba by the Spaniards in 1236, various Muslim rulers ruled Al Andalus.The golden age of Jews living in Muslim Spain is considered to have started at the beginning of the tenth century, but ended with the fall of the Umayyad caliphate. Cordoba had a population at that time of about 400,000, and was the largest city in all of Europe.    (About the Author)Dr. Alex Bloch was educated in the US where he received his B.sc degree from MIT and M.sc from Columbia.

    Beloved I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers   3 John 2 (NKJV)It has been a dream of mine to prosper financially using biblical principles. I prayed about it, and then one morning, the Lord told me that it was time and that He would teach me.He instructed me to wait on Him every morning and to write down the things He taught me. I followed His instructions, guidance, and wisdom, writing it all down for a full year. This book is the result of our time together.To my surprise, this became a book of many books! The Lord would guide me to a specific book, teach me from it, and then move on to the next book.It was totally supernatural!As I followed the leading of the Lord, it became clear to me that God was taking me on a year-long journey of prospering my soul, which in turn would influence my financial situation. I learnt that I could not prosper in any given area unless my soul prospered in that area too, hence the book''s title.This book takes many twists and turns, and even has a few surprises.Did I reach my goal of financial prosperity?You have to read it to find out!(About the Author) Vicki Heymann loves to teach people how to walk and live in victory in all areas of their lives.

    Finally, the vision of Fredrick Nietzsche''s Overman (Superman) has come into being.Unfortunately, the lives of many males are constantly destroyed and persecuted for their primitive behaviors and sexual urges. How will Overman (Superman) deal with his own human needs and desires of the flesh, and what consequences will he face for entering the dark side of his ultimate fate and the curse of fetishes?This book is about earliest man (caveman) evolving to become today''s supreme modern man. Warning: For adults only. Not recommended for the spiritual or righteous."While there may be differences in nations, cultures, and family bloodlines, in the creator''s understanding, all beings, especially humans, are all connected into one family from the same maker. Therefore, even though emotionally filled beings in pride and enthusiasm are credited and responsible for creating endless ideas and things of beauty, they''re also responsible for separating and causing inhuman acts and conflicts that killed their fellow beings, just as Cain did to Abel."

  • - 'Anti-Humanism' reconsidered
    af G V Loewen

    The drive to overcome nature is a projection of the anxiety about succumbing to our own nature. Inevitably, this conflict creates a vicious circle. For in subduing nature to our technical goals – themselves arranged so that our human frailty is to be overcome – we end up destroying the world in which we must live.Of late, we have begun to recognize this viciousness, both in our acts and more profoundly, in our thoughts. Yet the attempt to lose our nature by losing Nature holds an even deeper conflict: “The most effective means of escaping spiritual trial is to become spiritless, and the sooner the better. If only taken care of in time, everything takes care of itself.” (Kierkegaard, 1844).Social philosopher G.V. Loewen is the author of forty books on ethics, education, aesthetics, religion, health and social theory, and more recently, metaphysical adventure fiction. He was a professor in the interdisciplinary human sciences for two decades.“The Penumbra of Personhood is not only the cumulative effect and expression of the primordial characters of Dasein, flung along with my being into the world,” writes the author, “it is also the most graceful and eloquent response to the unknown that we possess. It is, in its own thrown essence, the fullest divergence from any violence of the reactionary or technique of the manager. It is objectively what we are and thus what we have to offer our own time.”Ironically, the State has to contend not with history, the writing of which it mainly controls, but rather morality, part of the pre-State metaphysics and a version of collective human vanity that also claims to be timeless.If it is at first striking that even in our time, morality has retained such a hold, on second glance it is at least not surprising. It has ironically become the weapon of the private person, and this is very much against its own cosmogonical backdrop.Morality is shared, as is belief that the one stems from the other, and in this they are quite unlike either ethics or opinion, also having become the pedestal upon which any demagogue can be placed. The uttering of a “higher law” betrays the moralist at every turn.Even if the State can delicately navigate these potentially dangerous currents while affording to ignore mere moral editorializing – an inevitable whirlpool in any democracy at least – if enough “private” people recognize that their misgivings are shared, morality can once again assume a vestige of its former mantle. It becomes a rip-tide of conventional “wisdom” against which this or that elected regime may ride or be ridden over.If this is the most vulgar expression of Dasein’s will to life, and even ontically, will to freedom, then it cannot be ignored by the reflective person. It is the final avenue of appeal in a rationalist social organization.Equipped with its own divinity, morality finds that it still has some suasion in the courts, certainly within many families, and in the schools. It is society’s “back door man,” to use an old Blues phrase, to point up its consistent vulgarity.
