Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City tells the story of the men who built it, centered on architect Daniel Burnham, who battled financial setbacks, engineering failures, and the death of his design partner to raise the \"White City\" from a swampy park in barely two years.\n\nRunning alongside that story is a darker one. H. H. Holmes, a charismatic young doctor, built a block-long building near the fairgrounds outfitted with hidden rooms, a gas chamber, and a basement crematorium. Using the anonymity of the fair's crowds — young women drawn to the city for work, tourists passing through — Holmes lured victims into his \"World's Fair Hotel\" and killed an unknown number of them, a case that later shaped how Americans understood the idea of a serial killer.\n\nLarson tells both stories side by side, drawing on letters, court records, and contemporary newspapers to reconstruct the fair's engineering triumphs — the first Ferris wheel, the electric-lit \"White City\" itself — against the quiet horror unfolding a few streets away. It's history written with the momentum of a thriller, without inventing dialogue or events the record doesn't support.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4bjx00dcw0rhx8he9snv7.jpg","L7BpOc~WMy9Z$~j?j[WC004.WB-:",2003,"4.60",5,464,[230],{"id":231,"slug":232,"name":233},"01kjr3bm2ecv24y30jptevz83v","erik-larson-nnxy","Erik Larson",[235,236,240,241,245,249],{"id":155,"name":156,"slug":157,"is_fiction":17},{"id":237,"name":238,"slug":239,"is_fiction":16},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":242,"name":243,"slug":244,"is_fiction":17},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":246,"name":247,"slug":248,"is_fiction":17},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":250,"name":251,"slug":252,"is_fiction":17},115,"Architecture","architecture",[],{"pace":255,"complexity":7,"audience":70,"mood":256,"themes":259,"setting_period":7,"summary":260,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[257,258],"dark","tense",[],"Two parallel stories unfold in 1893 Chicago: Daniel Burnham, the visionary architect behind the World's Columbian Exposition, races to build a world-class fair while battling fire, funding shortages, and engineering failures; and H.H.

As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets--among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident--people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in \"red\" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from \"liberal\" government intervention abhor the very idea?\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knpxdkj61pjf2d20q5t5wtrj.jpg","LYQJWMxuxut7_NWBt7j[o#WBWBfR",368,[481],{"id":482,"slug":483,"name":484},"01knpxdkhwpsmsprmh278vm6q3","arlie-russell-hochschild-4dxr","Arlie Russell Hochschild",[486,487,488,489],{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":430,"name":431,"slug":432,"is_fiction":17},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":17},{"id":126,"name":127,"slug":128,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":68,"complexity":7,"audience":70,"mood":492,"themes":494,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[132,493],"reflective",[],{"id":496,"slug":497,"title":498,"description":499,"primary_cover_url":500,"cover_blurhash":501,"first_publish_year":502,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":503,"authors":504,"genres":509,"series":523,"enrichment":524},"01kx7cxjy8cxtqksr4747ys0h0","blackthorn-key-d9rf","Blackthorn Key","In 1660s London and the English countryside, young Christopher Rowe becomes entangled in an ancient mystery involving his father's death and a mysterious blackthorn key.

A masterful book written by a master historian.\" --Bettany Hughes, bestselling author, Istanbul and Helen of Troy This is the riveting, definitive account of the ancient Greek city of Thebes, by the acclaimed author of The Spartans. Among the extensive writing available about the history of ancient Greece, there is precious little about the city-state of Thebes. At one point the most powerful city in ancient Greece, Thebes has been long overshadowed by its better-known rivals, Athens and Sparta. In Thebes: The Forgotten City of Ancient Greece, acclaimed classicist and historian Paul Cartledge brings the city vividly to life and argues that it is central to our understanding of the ancient Greeks' achievements--whether politically or culturally--and thus to the wider politico-cultural traditions of western Europe, the Americas, and indeed the world. Chapters include: City of Myth: The Theban Cycle City of Prehistory and Protohistory: Archaeology, the Linear B Tablets, and Homer Religion Politics Foreign Affairs City of Song: Pindar and Athenian Tragedy The Peloponnesian and Corinthian Wars From its role as an ancient political power, to its destruction at the hands of Alexander the Great as punishment for a failed revolt, to its eventual restoration by Alexander's successor, Cartledge deftly chronicles the rise and fall of the ancient city. He recounts the history with deep clarity and mastery of the subject and makes clear both the differences and the interconnections between the Thebes of myth and the Thebes of history. Written in clear prose, Thebes is a gripping read for students of ancient history and those looking to experience the real city behind the myths of Cadmus, Hercules, and Oedipus.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7czk8hvcrzvh9gsyzffywp.jpg?v=c9530eeafa","LLFO=S-oD*-;~pWBjZ-;4:9Gt6-:",2020,320,[611],{"id":612,"slug":613,"name":614},"01kx7czk8dxf53y2be5n26e2w0","paul-cartledge-qnbq","Paul Cartledge",[616,617,618,619],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":547,"name":548,"slug":549,"is_fiction":17},{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":620,"name":621,"slug":622,"is_fiction":16},57,"Military","military",[],{"pace":68,"complexity":7,"audience":70,"mood":625,"themes":626,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[72,132],[],{"id":172,"slug":173,"title":174,"description":175,"primary_cover_url":176,"cover_blurhash":177,"first_publish_year":178,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":179,"authors":628,"genres":630,"series":633,"enrichment":634},[629],{"id":91,"slug":92,"name":93},[631,632],{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":107,"complexity":7,"audience":70,"mood":635,"themes":636,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[72,73],[],{"id":81,"slug":82,"title":83,"description":84,"primary_cover_url":85,"cover_blurhash":86,"first_publish_year":87,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":88,"authors":638,"genres":640,"series":645,"enrichment":646},[639],{"id":91,"slug":92,"name":93},[641,642,643,644],{"id":96,"name":97,"slug":98,"is_fiction":17},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":17},{"id":101,"name":102,"slug":103,"is_fiction":17},{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":107,"complexity":7,"audience":70,"mood":647,"themes":648,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[73,72],[],{"key":650,"params":651,"works":652},"genre",{"genre":31},[653,689],{"id":654,"slug":655,"title":656,"description":657,"primary_cover_url":658,"cover_blurhash":659,"first_publish_year":660,"community_rating_avg":445,"community_rating_count":446,"page_count":661,"authors":662,"genres":671,"series":684,"enrichment":685},"01kpf33njpzf4vxp07k15kw26w","mythology-nn3l","Mythology","A sweeping survey of Greek, Roman, and Norse myths, presented with clarity and reverence for their enduring power.
