We habitually think of the European past as the history of countries which exist today - France, Germany, Britain, Russia and so on - but often this actually obstructs our view of the past, and blunts our sensitivity to the ever-changing political landscape. Europe's history is littered with kingdoms, duchies, empires and republics which have now disappeared but which were once fixtures on the map of their age - 'the Empire of Aragon' which once dominated the western Mediterranean; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, for a time the largest country in Europe; the successive kingdoms (and one duchy) of Burgundy, much of whose history is now half-remembered - or half-forgotten - at best. This book shows the reader how to peer through the cracks of mainstream history writing and listen to the echoes of lost realms across the centuries. How many British people know that Glasgow was founded by the Welsh in a period when neither England nor Scotland existed? How many of us will remember the former Soviet Union in a few generations' time? Will our own United Kingdom become a distant memory too? As in his earlier celebrated books Europe: a history and The Isles, Norman Davies aims to subvert our established view of what seems familiar, and urges us to look and think again. This stimulating surprising book, full of unexpected stories, observations and connections, gives us a fresh and original perspective on the history of Europe. -- Product Description.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nygmmx7q6nj6f9hecehpt.jpg?v=8364edc35a","LhJbdCs,%LRk?wjrjZt7ITofWBog",2011,672,[734],{"id":735,"slug":736,"name":737},"01kx6nygmjg03sqqgca3pa3m3x","norman-jordan-davies-2ro5","Norman Jordan Davies",[739,740],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":16},{"id":293,"name":294,"slug":295,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":85,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":743,"themes":744,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,137],[],{"key":746,"params":747,"works":748},"genre",{"genre":32},[749,794,828,858,888,909],{"id":750,"slug":751,"title":752,"description":753,"primary_cover_url":754,"cover_blurhash":755,"first_publish_year":756,"community_rating_avg":757,"community_rating_count":74,"page_count":205,"authors":758,"genres":763,"series":787,"enrichment":788},"01kjq7eyj52mbckbdar8rqvqsv","romeo-and-juliet-nsnd","Romeo and Juliet","In the streets of Verona, two great households — the Montagues and the Capulets — are locked in an ancient, bitter feud that erupts into violence at the slightest provocation. Into this poisoned world come Romeo, a lovesick Montague, and Juliet, the Capulets' cherished young daughter, who meet at a masked ball and fall instantly, helplessly in love.\n\nMarried in secret by a well-meaning friar who hopes their union might heal the rift between the families, the young lovers find their happiness colliding with the violence around them. A single fatal brawl sends events spiraling beyond anyone's control, and a desperate plan to keep them together sets in motion one of literature's most famous tragedies.\n\nWilliam Shakespeare's tragedy of \"star-crossed lovers\" remains the definitive story of young love thwarted by hatred, chance, and haste — a play whose language, characters, and heartbreak have shaped how the Western world imagines romance for more than four centuries.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6s5j7x45h1rw02tte2mvz.jpg","LdJHgSf6xtoe~VWCV@ay?aayRjfj",1949,"4.00",[759],{"id":760,"slug":761,"name":762},"01kjq7eyjb5ehy0zsfypwhbrqj","william-shakespeare-ys9o","William Shakespeare",[764,768,769,770,774,778,782,786],{"id":765,"name":766,"slug":767,"is_fiction":29},14,"Plays","plays",{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":16},{"id":131,"name":132,"slug":133,"is_fiction":16},{"id":771,"name":772,"slug":773,"is_fiction":29},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":775,"name":776,"slug":777,"is_fiction":29},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":779,"name":780,"slug":781,"is_fiction":29},9,"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":783,"name":784,"slug":785,"is_fiction":29},4,"Romance","romance",{"id":425,"name":426,"slug":427,"is_fiction":29},[],{"pace":237,"complexity":7,"audience":508,"mood":789,"themes":791,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[790,178],"romantic",[792,793],"forbidden-love","betrayal",{"id":795,"slug":796,"title":797,"description":798,"primary_cover_url":799,"cover_blurhash":800,"first_publish_year":801,"community_rating_avg":802,"community_rating_count":26,"page_count":803,"authors":804,"genres":809,"series":822,"enrichment":823},"01kjq7sa2nzt8x6wgmy2asmet0","crime-and-punishment-km6m","Crime and Punishment","Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (1866) is one of the towering achievements of Russian literature — a claustrophobic psychological drama set in the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg.\n\nRodion Raskolnikov, a destitute former student, has convinced himself that certain extraordinary men stand above conventional morality and are permitted to commit crimes in service of a greater good. To test the theory, he murders a rapacious old pawnbroker. But the deed does not liberate him; instead it plunges him into a fever of guilt, paranoia, and self-loathing, hunted less by the police than by his own conscience.\n\nAs the shrewd investigator Porfiry Petrovich circles ever closer and the devout, long-suffering Sonya offers a path toward confession and redemption, Dostoevsky builds an unbearably intimate portrait of a mind at war with itself. A foundational work of psychological fiction, it remains a searching meditation on guilt, free will, suffering, and the possibility of moral rebirth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7sa63n7s9pw8c7r57xavv.jpg","LIM~Lmr@^PkWysS15kr=00wJq]s9",1866,"4.50",442,[805],{"id":806,"slug":807,"name":808},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[810,811,812,813,817,818],{"id":430,"name":431,"slug":432,"is_fiction":29},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":16},{"id":779,"name":780,"slug":781,"is_fiction":29},{"id":814,"name":815,"slug":816,"is_fiction":29},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":775,"name":776,"slug":777,"is_fiction":29},{"id":819,"name":820,"slug":821,"is_fiction":29},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",[],{"pace":176,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":824,"themes":825,"setting_period":7,"summary":827,"content_warnings":7},[239,240,137],[826,537],"morally-grey","A destitute, brilliant former law student in St. Petersburg murders a pawnbroker to test his theory that extraordinary men are above the moral laws governing ordinary people — and is then consumed by paranoia as he tries to outmaneuver both the police and his own conscience.",{"id":829,"slug":830,"title":831,"description":832,"primary_cover_url":833,"cover_blurhash":834,"first_publish_year":835,"community_rating_avg":836,"community_rating_count":837,"page_count":838,"authors":839,"genres":841,"series":854,"enrichment":855},"01kjtmxapag9yykjsy1xdckq3w","notes-from-underground-2rnq","Notes from the Underground","A feverish monologue delivered by an unnamed man, the Underground Man, whose bitter intellect and self-destructive impulses form one of the great psychological portraits in literature.

In The Modernity of Witchcraft, Peter Geschieres uses his own experiences among the Maka and in other parts of eastern and southern Cameroon, as well as other anthropological research, to argue that contemporary ideas and practices of witchcraft are more a response to modern exigencies than a lingering cultural custom. The prevalence of witchcraft, especially in African politics and entrepreneurship, demonstrates the unlikely balance it has achieved with the forces of modernity. Geshiere explores why modern techniques and commodities, usually of Western Provenance, have become central in rumors of the occult.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26p9xjf4zd9788rgc84ngz.jpg?v=368ad55854","L5CPV9?^8wKi0Nt7ozjZ00D%?bV@",1997,311,[898],{"id":899,"slug":900,"name":901},"01kx26p9xdtr875q86dc85wq6r","peter-geschiere-dwaw","Peter Geschiere",[903,904],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":16},{"id":196,"name":197,"slug":198,"is_fiction":16},[],{"pace":176,"complexity":7,"audience":87,"mood":907,"themes":908,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[91,239],[],{"id":910,"slug":911,"title":912,"description":913,"primary_cover_url":914,"cover_blurhash":915,"first_publish_year":708,"community_rating_avg":220,"community_rating_count":221,"page_count":916,"authors":917,"genres":922,"series":932,"enrichment":933},"01kx2kejzw8emerhgyafym4fpz","sin-in-the-second-city-jqut","Sin in the Second City","Step into the perfumed parlors of the Everleigh Club, the most famous brothel in American history--and the catalyst for a culture war that rocked the nation. Operating in Chicago's notorious Levee district at the dawn of the last century, the Club's proprietors, two aristocratic sisters named Minna and Ada Everleigh, welcomed moguls and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and literary icons, into their stately double mansion, where thirty stunning Everleigh \"butterflies\" awaited their arrival. Courtesans named Doll, Suzy Poon Tang, and Brick Top devoured raw meat to the delight of Prince Henry of Prussia and recited poetry for Theodore Dreiser. Whereas lesser madams pocketed most of a harlot's earnings and kept a \"whipper\" on staff to mete out discipline, the Everleighs made sure their girls dined on gourmet food, were examined by an honest physician, and even tutored in the literature of Balzac.Not everyone appreciated the sisters' attempts to elevate the industry. Rival Levee madams hatched numerous schemes to ruin the Everleighs, including an attempt to frame them for the death of department store heir Marshall Field, Jr. But the sisters' most daunting foes were the Progressive Era reformers, who sent the entire country into a frenzy with lurid tales of \"white slavery\"--the allegedly rampant practice of kidnapping young girls and forcing them into brothels. This furor shaped America's sexual culture and had repercussions all the way to the White House, including the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.With a cast of characters that includes Jack Johnson, John Barrymore, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., William Howard Taft, \"Hinky Dink\" Kenna, and Al Capone, Sin in the Second City is Karen Abbott's colorful, nuanced portrait of the iconic Everleigh sisters, their world-famous Club, and the perennial clash between our nation's hedonistic impulses and Puritanical roots. Culminating in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers, Sin in the Second City offers a vivid snapshot of America's journey from Victorian-era propriety to twentieth-century modernity.Visit www.sininthesecondcity.com to learn more!Praise for Sin in the Second City:\"Assiduously researched...
