April 10, 1919. The war in Europe, the Great War, the War to End All Wars, is over America and her allies have defeated the German forces. The USS Mongolia arrives in Boston carrying nearly 5,000 soldiers and sailors returning from France. Thousands are gathered on Commonwealth Pier to welcome the returning doughboys, dancing, waving flags, singing, and celebrating the safe return of their loved ones.But war changes things. It changes nations, and it changes people, both those who fought and those who waited anxiously back home. One soldier among the thousands arriving in Boston on this day is not joining in the celebrations. He is a young man from Holyoke, Massachusetts. He enlisted out of a sense of duty to his nation, little knowing the pain, the hurt he would suffer. His wounds are not those of gunshots or mustard gas or influenza, they are wounds of the heart and the soul, and they are deep.In Darkest Before Dawn, Book 4 of the Trolley Days Series, Massachusetts author Robert T. McMaster traces the lives of four young people growing up in a time of turmoil and wrenching change for their country, their hometown, and themselves.

Gli equilibri politici, economici e sociali nel mondo stanno rapidamente evolvendo.

She presents a thoroughly believable pair of protagonists, true to their time but also relatable to the present-day reader."Historical Novel Society"I loved reading about the bond between these sisters. The romances were super cute." Tricia Levenseller, author of Daughter of the Pirate King and The Shadows Between Us"In a time like now when many of us want some kind of escape, this book kept me up way past my bedtime and let me disappear into Victorian England with two delightful heroines! Do you like your books with romance, protagonists with art and STEM interests, identical twin sister hijinks, and swoonworthy love interests? The Invention of Sophie Carter has all that and more!! Just as she did in The Last Word, Samantha Hastings gives a cheery portrayal of Victorian life without shying away from the hardships women faced. Hastings enjoyment of 19th century literature is obvious, and if youre also a fan, youll see it in everything from the Dickensian childhood of her main characters Sophie and Mariah, to the wit and romance of Austen peppered throughout. Definitely one of my favorite reads this year!Jennieke Cohen, author of A Dangerous Alliance.

La satira (dal latino satura lanx, il vassoio riempito di primizie in offerta agli Dei), fin dai tempi dellantica Grecia e un genere della letteratura, delle arti e della rappresentazione scenica caratterizzato dallattenzione critica ai vari aspetti della societa, mostrandone le contraddizioni e promuovendo il cambiamento. Essa mira a far ridere, criticando con sarcasmo e pungente ironia i personaggi e deridendoli e sbeffeggiandoli in argomenti politici, sociali, morali e religiosi.Fin dallantichita, la satira e stata temuta e osteggiata dal potere e dai sistemi oppressivi, perche, sbattendo in faccia al pubblico determinate verita, puo potenzialmente sortire effetti ancor piu devastanti di un terremoto, aprendo gli occhi alle persone portando quindi conoscenza e consapevolezza e arrivando ad abbattere persino dogmi e paradigmi ritenuti incrollabili.Loriginalita di questa satira e di adoperare lironia non solo come arma, ma pure come veicolo di una conoscenza a tutti gli effetti esoterica. Con questo suo piccolo, grande capolavoro, La Pace dei Titani, Marco Della Luna va a imbracciare fieramente la spada della satira sul terreno stesso del dogma supremo, quello del monoteismo giudaico-cristiano, spalancando al pubblico lantro platonico (o, se preferite, i cancelli della Matrix), per detronizzare un incubo plurimillenario e far filtrare labbagliante luce della Verita.

"The accusation was waiting for you long before you ever spoke."Thomas Kane has dismantled ledgers and exposed asylums, but his latest investigation reveals a rot within the one institution designed to light the way: the schoolhouse.When a dedicated teacher, Margaret Ashford, is systematically targeted for destruction after asking the wrong questions, Kane uncovers a chilling mechanism of "institutional threat elimination." It is a world where good intentions are weaponized, and the classroom becomes a battlefield for ideological conformity.Following a trail of suppressed records and financial discrepancies at the Hartwell School, Kane discovers that Margarets plight is not an isolated incidentit is a recurring pattern of erasure designed to protect a network of district-level authority. In a race against time and bureaucratic perjury, Kane must navigate a moral labyrinth where the truth is treated as a contagion and silence is the only approved curriculum.In this tenth volume of the Thomas Kane Investigations, the Archive expands to include the voices of the dismissed and the disgraced. The Teachers Secret is a haunting Victorian noir that exposes the high cost of academic freedom and the enduring power of the one record that refuses to be redacted.
