Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung' is a volume of selected statements taken from the speeches and writings by Mao Mao Tse-Tung, published from 1964 to 1976. It was often printed in small editions that could be easily carried and that were bound in bright red covers, which led to its western moniker of the 'Little Red Book'. It is one of the most printed books in history, and will be of considerable value to those with an interest in Mao Tse-Tung and in the history of the Communist Party of China. The chapters of this book include: 'The Communist Party', 'Classes and Class Struggle', 'Socialism and Communism', 'The Correct Handling of Contradictions Among The People', 'War and Peace', 'Imperialism and All Reactionaries ad Paper Tigers', 'Dare to Struggle and Dare to Win', et cetera. We are republishing this antiquarian volume now complete with a new prefatory biography of Mao Tse-Tung.
The unthinkable thoughts and depraved deeds of people, nature, and the seriously supernatural are voyeuristically exposed with an amazing alliterative allure in Barbara Eck Tosi’s SCARY. This psychotically charged collection of nightmarish narratives unfolds in refreshingly rhythmic rhymes. Overdosed with injections of spine-splintering sordidness, SCARY dares you to experience its macabre and maniacal madness. At the mercy of monsters that maliciously manipulate their minds, these contorted and calamitous characters dance deliberately and deliriously across pages steeped in insanity, pain, isolation, and fear. The warped worlds of these peculiar and perverse psychotics are saturated in sinister streams of consciousness. Peaceful narratives periodically penetrate the pathetic preponderance of pain with their sacred salutations of sanity and salvation. Have you a penchant for pursuing the psyche’s darkest demons and deepest divides? This deliciously disturbing collection of shockingly scary vignettes will find you double-locking your windows, triple-bolting your doors, and exponentially increasing the wattage of your living room lights. In an unusual, enticing, and entertaining way, SCARY feverishly frightens those brave enough to climb its hyperbolic heights.
