DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Afoot and Awheel in Europe It was May, 1910, the year of the Passion Play at Oberammergau, that found a quartette of expectant travellers, of whom the writer of this chronicle was one, on the deck of the steamer Celtic in New York Harbor, ready to sail over seas. Some shadows they had left behind them: some solace and much joy they hoped to find among the new scenes of the Old World - a hope, the record of whose fulfilment is told in the pages of this book. The good-byes had been said, the quartette hastened to their staterooms, made themselves busy arranging their tokens of love and friendship that loving friends had sent to the ship with their good-byes, so as not to see the fading forms of the loved ones left behind, and the good ship left her moorings and made her way out to sea. The days passed as most days do on shipboard, watching the changing lights and shadows that played over the deep blue sea, noting the peaceful rise and fall of the horizon, veritably being rocked in the cradle of the deep. Between the sunlight, shadows, and sea there came a restfulness of the spirit that followed us through our seven months' travels in Europe, and also on our homeward course, until our hearts leaped for joy when our eyes fell upon Old Glory in New York Harbor.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803 “One of the seminal texts about the history of slavery and abolition.... Provocative and empowering.” —The New York Times Book Review The Black Jacobins, by Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, was the first major analysis of the uprising that began in the wake of the storming of the Bastille in France and became the model for liberation movements from Africa to Cuba. It is the story of the French colony of San Domingo, a place where the brutality of plantation owners toward enslaved people was horrifyingly severe. And it is the story of a charismatic and barely literate enslaved person named Toussaint L’Ouverture, who successfully led the Black people of San Domingo against successive invasions by overwhelming French, Spanish, and English forces—and in the process helped form the first independent post-colonial nation in the Caribbean. With a new introduction (2023) by Professor David Scott.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMadman, tyrant, animal—history has given Adolf Hitler many names. In Mein Kampf (My Struggle), often called the Nazi bible, Hitler describes his life, frustrations, ideals, and dreams. Born to an impoverished couple in a small town in Austria, the young Adolf grew up with the fervent desire to become a painter. The death of his parents and outright rejection from art schools in Vienna forced him into underpaid work as a laborer. During the First World War, Hitler served in the infantry and was decorated for bravery. After the war, he became actively involved with socialist political groups and quickly rose to power, establishing himself as Chairman of the National Socialist German Worker's party. In 1924, Hitler led a coalition of nationalist groups in a bid to overthrow the Bavarian government in Munich. The infamous Munich "Beer-hall putsch" was unsuccessful, and Hitler was arrested. During the nine months he was in prison, an embittered and frustrated Hitler dictated a personal manifesto to his loyal follower Rudolph Hess. He vented his sentiments against communism and the Jewish people in this document, which was to become Mein Kampf, the controversial book that is seen as the blue-print for Hitler's political and military campaign. In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes his strategy for rebuilding Germany and conquering Europe. It is a glimpse into the mind of a man who destabilized world peace and pursued the genocide now known as the Holocaust.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWar and Peace is a novel by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy, which is regarded as a central work of world literature and one of Tolstoy's finest literary achievements. The novel chronicles the history of the French invasion of Russia and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society through the stories of five Russian aristocratic families. Portions of an earlier version, titled The Year 1805, were serialized in The Russian Messenger from 1865 to 1867. The novel was first published in its entirety in 1869. Tolstoy said War and Peace is "not a novel, even less is it a poem, and still less a historical chronicle". Large sections, especially the later chapters, are a philosophical discussion rather than narrative. Tolstoy also said that the best Russian literature does not conform to standards and hence hesitated to call War and Peace a novel. Instead, he regarded Anna Karenina as his first true novel. According to the Encyclop�dia Britannica, "no single English novel attains the universality of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace.
