  2. 📮 The Blue Hours by Frank McAdams (.ePUB) Conceived as a tribute to Cornell Woolrich, noir's premiere author, The Blue Hours explores the genre's darkest recesses in a no holds barred tale of murder and revenge. It's the broiling summer of 1970 when Mick Behan, fresh out of jail, finds himself adrift in gritty New York City. No one's ever going to pin a medal on Behan for being a model citizen. A junkie given to fits of uncontrollable rage, he doesn't hesitate to steal from a poor woman with a sick child or to beat a pusher half to death. Then one morning he wakes from a drugged stupor to find himself holding a smoking gun with only a corpse to keep him company. Has he finally crossed the line and committed murder, or has he been set up? Hunted relentlessly by the police, Behan teams up with a sexy blonde lap dancer in search of the one witness who can tell him what really happened that night. No one knows better than Behan that it's a race against time. This is a classic hard-boiled novel in the tradition of the legendary pulp magazines of the 1920's and 30's. Written in lean taut prose, it's a two-fisted action story filled with violence and suspense, not to mention gorgeous women who can't resist the lure of danger. A riveting page turner, the book is guaranteed to keep readers glued to the edge of their seats. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Frank Mcadams Size 0.37MB Category Fiction > Mystery/Thriller Noir File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/IJosrJY6gx6I https://devuploads.com/j11wlnw97yvd

  11. 📮 Blue Light Hours by Bruna Dantas Lobato (.ePUB) One of Electric Literature’s “75 Books by Women of Color to Read in 2024”From the National Book Award-winning translator, an atmospheric and wise debut novel of a young Brazilian woman’s first year in America, a continent away from her lonely mother, and the relationship they build over Skype calls across borders In a small dorm room at a liberal arts college in Vermont, a young woman settles into the warm blue light of her desk lamp before calling the mother she left behind in northeastern Brazil. Four thousand miles apart and bound by the angular confines of a Skype window, they ask each other a simple question: what’s the news? Offscreen, little about their lives seems newsworthy. The daughter writes her papers in the library at midnight, eats in the dining hall with the other international students, and raises her hand in class to speak in a language the mother cannot understand. The mother meanwhile preoccupies herself with natural disasters, her increasingly poor health, and the heartbreaking possibility that her daughter might not return to the apartment where they have always lived together. Yet in the blue glow of their computers, the two women develop new rituals of intimacy and caretaking, from drinking whiskey together in the middle of the night to keeping watch as one slides into sleep. As the warm colors of New England autumn fade into an endless winter snow, each realizes that the promise of spring might mean difficult endings rather than hopeful beginnings. Expanded from a story originally published in The New Yorker, and in elegant prose that recalls the work of Sigrid Nunez, Katie Kitamura, and Rachel Khong, Bruna Dantas Lobato paints a powerful portrait of a mother and a daughter coming of age together and apart and explores the profound sacrifices and freedoms that come with leaving a home to make a new one somewhere else. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Bruna Dantas Lobato Size 640KB Category Fiction > General/Classics File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/tpqk29MB3HbJ https://devuploads.com/hlvmteh9eub6

  16. 📮 Burning the Reichstag by Benjamin Carter Hett (.PDF) In February 1933, Adolf Hitler had only a tenuous grasp on power. Chancellor of Germany for merely four weeks, he led a fragile coalition government. The Nazis had lost seats in the Reichstag in the recent election, and claimed only three of thirteen cabinet posts. Then on February 27th, arson sent the Reichstag, the home and symbol of German democracy, up in flames. Immediately blaming the Communists, Hitler's new government approved a decree that tore the heart out of the democratic constitution of the Weimar Republic and cancelled the rule of law. Five thousand people were immediately arrested. The Reichstag fire marked the true beginning of the Third Reich, which ruled for 12 more years. The controversy surrounding the fire's origins has endured for 80. In Burning the Reichstag, Benjamin Hett offers a gripping account of Hitler's rise to dictatorship-one that challenges orthodoxy and recovers the true significance of the part the fire played. At the scene the police arrested 23-year-old Marinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch Communist stonemason. Though he was initially dismissed abroad as a Nazi tool, post-war historians since the 1950s have largely judged him solely guilty--a lone arsonist exploited by Hitler. Hett's book reopens the case, providing vivid portraits of key figures, including Rudolf Diels, Hermann Goering, Joseph Goebbels, and the historian Fritz Tobias, whose account of the fire has, until now, been the standard. Making use of a number of new sources and archives, Hett sets the Reichstag fire in a wider context, revealing how and why it has remained one of the last mysteries of the Nazi period, and one of the most controversial and contested events in the 20th century. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Benjamin Carter Hett Size 2MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type PDF 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/eZOP3ZD7yS7e https://devuploads.com/w01s7f06rk8x
  17. 📮 We Survived by Eric H. Boehm (.ePUB) Thousands of Jews and “Aryan” Germans opposed to Hitler led illegal lives under the Nazi terror and survived the relentless hunt of the Gestapo, the concentration camps, and the bombing.

In fourteen autobiographical accounts, author Eric Boehm offers a cross-section of these heroic personalities. We Survived is itself an historical document, giving a window back into this epoch period during World War II.Now reappearing in print over fifty years after its original publication, We Survived remains as relevant and necessary as ever before - an honest testimony to the strength of the human spirit when it triumphs over adversity. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Eric H.

  18. 📮 The Bourgeois Virtues by Deirdre N. McCloskey (.ePUB) For a century and a half, the artists and intellectuals of Europe have scorned the bourgeoisie. And for a millennium and a half, the philosophers and theologians of Europe have scorned the marketplace. The bourgeois life, capitalism, Mencken’s “booboisie” and David Brooks’s “bobos”—all have been, and still are, framed as being responsible for everything from financial to moral poverty, world wars, and spiritual desuetude. Countering these centuries of assumptions and unexamined thinking is Deirdre McCloskey’s The Bourgeois Virtues, a magnum opus that offers a radical view: capitalism is good for us. McCloskey’s sweeping, charming, and even humorous survey of ethical thought and economic realities—from Plato to Barbara Ehrenreich—overturns every assumption we have about being bourgeois. Can you be virtuous and bourgeois? Do markets improve ethics? Has capitalism made us better as well as richer? Yes, yes, and yes, argues McCloskey, who takes on centuries of capitalism’s critics with her erudition and sheer scope of knowledge. Applying a new tradition of “virtue ethics” to our lives in modern economies, she affirms American capitalism without ignoring its faults and celebrates the bourgeois lives we actually live, without supposing that they must be lives without ethical foundations. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Deirdre N.

Kornai explains his view of capitalism as an economy of surplus–a chronic excess of supply of goods and labor. This environment breeds rivalry among producers, which in turn encourages innovation. Socialism, on the other hand, is defined by a shortage of goods and labor and excess of demand. Whereas socialism is slothful and imitative, capitalism is dynamic and progressive. The two essays of this book will explore these differing ideologies on macro and micro levels, ending with definitive explanations of how the systems work and how they develop. ♻️ Book's Info: Author János Kornai Size 20MB Category Non-Fiction > Educational File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/kR8w2s0GUXLp https://devuploads.com/nejafhpbfxcn

Coetzee presents a coherent, unorthodox analysis of censorship from the perspective of one who has lived and worked under its shadow. The essays collected here attempt to understand the passion that plays itself out in acts of silencing and censoring. He argues that a destructive dynamic of belligerence and escalation tends to overtake the rivals in any field ruled by censorship. From Osip Mandelstam commanded to compose an ode in praise of Stalin, to Breyten Breytenbach writing poems under and for the eyes of his prison guards, to Aleksander Solzhenitsyn engaging in a trial of wits with the organs of the Soviet state, Giving Offense focuses on the ways authors have historically responded to censorship. It also analyzes the arguments of Catharine MacKinnon for the suppression of pornography and traces the operations of the old South African censorship system. ♻️ Book's Info: Author J. M.

Trained as a philosopher and steeped in the thought of Hegel, Marx turned away from Hegelian philosophy after 1845 towards a philosophy that incorporated economics and history. It is this Marx that endures and to which this outstanding introduction is devoted.

They involve human lives. There can be no delaying," Perkins wrote in her memoir, The Roosevelt I Knew. In March 1933, at the height of the Great Depression, Perkins was appointed Secretary of Labor by FDR. As Hitler rose to power, thousands of German-Jewish refugees and their loved ones reached out to the INS—then part of the Department of Labor—applying for immigration to the United States, writing letters that began "Dear Miss Perkins . . ." ♻️ Book's Info: Author Rebecca Brenner Graham Size 1.2MB Category Non-Fiction > History File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/mSFBIC4rELmH https://devuploads.com/qv1ovg49ja8v

Before, Scopuli. It has been centuries since Thelia made the mistake that cost her the woman she loved—Proserpina, the goddess of spring. As the handmaidens charged with protecting Proserpina when she was kidnapped, Thelia and her sisters are banished to the island of Scopuli and cursed to live as sirens—winged half-woman, half-bird creatures. In luring sailors to their deaths with an irresistible song, the sisters hope to gain favor from the gods who could free them. But then ships stop coming, and Thelia fears a fate worse than the Underworld. Just as time begins to run out, a voice emerges, Proserpina’s voice, and what she asks of Thelia will spark a dangerous quest for their freedom. Now, Roanoke. Thelia can’t bear to reflect on her last moments in Scopuli. After weeks drifting at sea alone, Thelia’s renewed human body—a result of her last devastating sacrifice on Scopuli—is close to death. Luckily, an unfamiliar island appears on the horizon: Roanoke. Posing as a princess arriving on a sailboat filled with riches, Thelia infiltrates the small English colony. It doesn’t take long for her to realize that this place is dangerous, especially for women. As she grows closer to a beautiful settler who mysteriously resembles her former love, Thelia formulates a plan to save her sisters and enact revenge on the violent men she’s come to despise. But is she willing to go back to Scopuli and face the consequences of her past decisions? And will Proserpina forgive her for all that she’s done? Told in alternating timelines, Those Fatal Flowers is a powerful, passionate, and wildly cathartic love letter to femininity and the monstrous power within us all. ♻️ Book's Info: Author Shannon Ives Size 3.6MB Category Romance, FF File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/3hWjFFslJRuj https://devuploads.com/7t3k8ujrrud2

It’s simply a fable meant to scare children, and not worth his time . . . Then, an inexplicable sighting on a routine hunt changes everything. The more Lane investigates what he thinks he saw, the more his obsession grows. Suddenly the hunt for the Dreamwish Beast is on. But Lane is left wondering if he is closer to reaching greatness—or his own death . . . ♻️ Book's Info: Author Mike Resnick Size 3.5MB Category Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy File Type ePUB 📥 Download Links: https://uploda.sh/vhJ817QiBM6R https://devuploads.com/hi0zbnj0310b
