in the White City","In 1893, Chicago staked its reputation on the World's Columbian Exposition — a fair meant to outshine Paris and announce America's arrival as a global power. 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,[174],{"id":175,"slug":176,"name":177},"01kjr3bm2ecv24y30jptevz83v","erik-larson-nnxy","Erik Larson",[179,180,181,185,189,193],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":182,"name":183,"slug":184,"is_fiction":20},70,"History","history",{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":20},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":190,"name":191,"slug":192,"is_fiction":20},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":194,"name":195,"slug":196,"is_fiction":20},115,"Architecture","architecture",[],{"pace":199,"complexity":10,"audience":150,"mood":200,"themes":203,"setting_period":10,"summary":204,"content_warnings":10},"fast",[201,202],"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.

In these pages, her tumultuous and amazing story comes to life as only Michelle Moran can tell it. The year is 1788, and a revolution is about to begin.   Smart and ambitious, Marie Tussaud has learned the secrets of wax sculpting by working alongside her uncle in their celebrated wax museum, the Salon de Cire. From her popular model of the American ambassador, Thomas Jefferson, to her tableau of the royal family at dinner, Marie's museum provides Parisians with the very latest news on fashion, gossip, and even politics. Her customers hail from every walk of life, yet her greatest dream is to attract the attention of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI; their stamp of approval on her work could catapult her and her museum to the fame and riches she desires. After months of anticipation, Marie learns that the royal family is willing to come and see their likenesses. When they finally arrive, the king's sister is so impressed that she requests Marie's presence at Versailles as a royal tutor in wax sculpting. It is a request Marie knows she cannot refuse--even if it means time away from her beloved Salon and her increasingly dear friend, Henri Charles.   As Marie gets to know her pupil, Princesse Élisabeth, she also becomes acquainted with the king and queen, who introduce her to the glamorous life at court. From lavish parties with more delicacies than she's ever seen to rooms filled with candles lit only once before being discarded, Marie steps into a world entirely different from her home on the Boulevard du Temple, where people are selling their teeth in order to put food on the table.   Meanwhile, many resent the vast separation between rich and poor. In salons and cafés across Paris, people like Camille Desmoulins, Jean-Paul Marat, and Maximilien Robespierre are lashing out against the monarchy. Soon, there's whispered talk of revolution. . . . Will Marie be able to hold on to both the love of her life and her friendship with the royal family as France approaches civil war? And more important, will she be able to fulfill the demands of powerful revolutionaries who ask that she make the death masks of beheaded aristocrats, some of whom she knows?   Spanning five years, from the budding revolution to the Reign of Terror, Madame Tussaud brings us into the world of an incredible heroine whose talent for wax modeling saved her life and preserved the faces of a vanished kingdom.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7dczv646m8hgxhpy68bahk.jpg?v=3ddc3dca16","L9Jtx1-V0e$|0ENL0#E24uIV~Vt5",2011,[329],{"id":330,"slug":331,"name":332},"01kx7d3gxsy7x1z5rdnajcmvaa","michelle-moran-tasx","Michelle Moran",[334,335],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":199,"complexity":10,"audience":150,"mood":338,"themes":340,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[287,339],"inspiring",[],{"id":342,"slug":343,"title":344,"description":345,"primary_cover_url":346,"cover_blurhash":347,"first_publish_year":348,"community_rating_avg":10,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":349,"authors":350,"genres":355,"series":358,"enrichment":359},"01kx7d8884njsqhd9pt04vn6tb","sisi-empress-on-her-own-twyb","Sisi Empress on Her Own","NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * For readers of Philippa Gregory, Paula McLain, and Daisy Goodwin comes a sweeping and powerful novel by Allison Pataki. Sisi tells the little-known story of Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, the Princess Diana of her time, in an enthralling work of historical fiction that is also a gripping page-turner. Married to Emperor Franz Joseph, Elisabeth--fondly known as Sisi--captures the hearts of her people as their \"fairy queen,\" but beneath that dazzling persona lives a far more complex figure. In mid-nineteenth-century Vienna, the halls of the Hofburg Palace buzz not only with imperial waltzes and champagne but with temptations, rivals, and cutthroat intrigue. Feeling stifled by strict protocols and a turbulent marriage, Sisi grows restless. A free-spirited wanderer, she finds solace at her estate outside Budapest. There she rides her beloved horses and enjoys visits from the Hungarian statesman Count Andrássy, the man with whom she's unwittingly fallen in love. But tragic news brings Sisi out of her fragile seclusion, forcing her to return to her capital and a world of gossip, envy, and sorrow where a dangerous fate lurks in the shadows. Through love affairs and loss, dedication and defiance, Sisi struggles against conflicting desires: to keep her family together, or to flee amid the collapse of her suffocating marriage and the gathering tumult of the First World War. In an age of crumbling monarchies, Sisi fights to assert her right to the throne beside her husband, to win the love of her people and the world, and to save an empire. But in the end, can she save herself? Featuring larger-than-life historic figures such as Bavaria's \"Mad King Ludwig\" and the tragic Crown Prince Rudolf, and set against many of Europe's grandest sites--from Germany's storied Neuschwanstein Castle to England's lush shires--Sisi brings to life an extraordinary woman and the romantic, volatile era over which she presided. Praise for Sisi \"Pataki successfully juggles numerous political and personal plot lines while maintaining her focus on a fascinating central character. . . .

You must always paint love.' The young Mary Cassatt never thought moving to Paris after the Civil War was going to be easy, but when, after a decade of work, her submission to the Paris Salon is rejected, Mary's fierce determination wavers. Her father is imploring her to return to Philadelphia to find a husband before it is too late, her sister Lydia is falling mysteriously ill, and worse, Mary is beginning to doubt herself. Then one evening a friend introduces her to Edgar Degas and her life changes forever. Years later she will learn that he had begged the introduction, but in that moment their meeting seems a miracle. So begins the defining period of her life and the most tempestuous of relationships. In I Always Loved You, Robin Oliveira brilliantly re-creates the irresistible world of Bell Époque Paris, writing with grace and uncommon insight into the passion and foibles of the human heart. 'What a joy it is to be back in Bell Époque Paris with my old artist friends, guided by the masterful pen of Robin Oliveira whose finely crafted language brings to light the complicated relationships of four of the principals of the Impressionist movement - Cassatt, Degas, Manet, Morisot. Only an omniscient narrator has the latitude to disclose the private yearnings and fears of these four as they grapple with issues of art execution, scathing reviews, self-doubt, elusive fame, tempestuous love, and creeping morality. Here, in beautiful prose, juicy with nuance and depth, is the intimate, heart-wrenching story behind Impressionist art history, with Mary Cassatt at its center. A glorious achievement.' Susan Vreeland, author of Luncheon of the Boating Party 'I Always Loved Youis a marvelous work, enthralling, illuminating, and beautifully rendered. Robin Oliveira brings Bell Époque Paris and the fascinating artists and writers who walked its streets and filled its salons to the fullness of vivid, fiercely passionate life.' Jennifer Chiaverini, author of Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker 'Oliveira's breathtaking, cinematic novel transported me to late-nineteenth-century Paris, to lively salons and cafés, and to the refuge of the studio . . . This story reveals what it means to be an artist who is also a woman, and you will feel both the anguish and the triumph down in your bones.' Kelly O'Connor McNees, author of The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott 'In artfully crafted prose as penetrating and radiant as an Impressionist masterpiece, Robin Oliveira's moving portrait of Mary Cassatt and Edgar Degas is a poignant reminder that beneath the majestic sweep of history and ideas are men and women with yearnings and trepidations as urgent and palpable as our own. I Always Loved Youevokes, in brilliant detail, the nuances of culture, art, and society in the cafés and salons of late-nineteenth-century Paris while bringing to life the spellbinding whirl of artists, writers, and savants who made La Belle Époque legendary.'

Daisy Goodwin breathes new life into Victoria's story, and does so with sensitivity, verve, and wit.\" – AMANDA FOREMAN Drawing on Queen Victoria’s diaries, which she first started reading when she was a student at Cambridge University, Daisy Goodwin—creator and writer of the new PBS Masterpiece drama Victoria and author of the bestselling novels The American Heiress and The Fortune Hunter—brings the young nineteenth-century monarch, who would go on to reign for 63 years, richly to life in this magnificent novel. Early one morning, less than a month after her eighteenth birthday, Alexandrina Victoria is roused from bed with the news that her uncle William IV has died and she is now Queen of England. The men who run the country have doubts about whether this sheltered young woman, who stands less than five feet tall, can rule the greatest nation in the world. Despite her age, however, the young queen is no puppet. She has very definite ideas about the kind of queen she wants to be, and the first thing is to choose her name. “I do not like the name Alexandrina,” she proclaims. “From now on I wish to be known only by my second name, Victoria.” Next, people say she must choose a husband. Everyone keeps telling her she’s destined to marry her first cousin, Prince Albert, but Victoria found him dull and priggish when they met three years ago. She is quite happy being queen with the help of her prime minister, Lord Melbourne, who may be old enough to be her father but is the first person to take her seriously. On June 19th, 1837, she was a teenager. On June 20th, 1837, she was a queen. Daisy Goodwin’s impeccably researched and vividly imagined new book brings readers Queen Victoria as they have never seen her before.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7ccpz654gqqsp1kdxhcpaj.jpg?v=d06f257b4a","L27^b}jE00oz#kWCIqR*00R*~qae",410,[433],{"id":434,"slug":435,"name":436},"01kx7ccpz1qj41prbzq9k384px","daisy-goodwin-t9i0","Daisy Goodwin",[438,439],{"id":31,"name":32,"slug":33,"is_fiction":21},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":245,"complexity":10,"audience":150,"mood":442,"themes":443,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[248,153],[290,250],[445,681,855,883],{"key":446,"params":447,"works":448},"theme",{"theme":155},[449,495,536,576,605,645],{"id":450,"slug":451,"title":452,"description":453,"primary_cover_url":454,"cover_blurhash":455,"first_publish_year":456,"community_rating_avg":457,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":458,"authors":459,"genres":464,"series":491,"enrichment":492},"01kmdnsdg8wh7xsg88xafr72tt","aanak-brayh-alork-aekt","عناق برائحة الورق","In a country where a letter of the alphabet is outlawed, a writer and a woman meet under the most unusual circumstances.

The grandmother is Swedish, a retired domestic. The boy is Ethiopian and adopted, and he will grow up to become the world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson. This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations. Marcus Samuelsson was only three years old when he, his mother, and his sister--all battling tuberculosis--walked seventy-five miles to a hospital in the Ethiopian capital city of Addis Adaba. Tragically, his mother succumbed to the disease shortly after she arrived, but Marcus and his sister recovered, and one year later, they were welcomed into a loving middle-class white family in Gothenburg, Sweden. It was there that Marcus's new grandmother, Helga, sparked in him a lifelong passion for food and cooking with her pan-fried herring, her freshly baked bread, and her signature roast chicken. From a very early age, there was little question what Marcus was going to be when he grew up. Yes, Chef chronicles Marcus Samuelsson's remarkable journey from Helga's humble kitchen to some of the most demanding and cutthroat restaurants in Switzerland and France, from his grueling stints on cruise ships to his arrival in New York City, where his outsize talent and ambition finally come together at Aquavit, earning him a coveted New York Times three-star rating at the age of twenty-four. But Samuelsson's career of \"chasing flavors,\" as he calls it, had only just begun--in the intervening years, there have been White House State dinners, career crises, reality show triumphs and, most important, the opening of the beloved Red Rooster in Harlem. At Red Rooster, Samuelsson has fufilled his dream of creating a truly diverse, multiracial dining room--a place where presidents and prime ministers rub elbows with jazz musicians, aspiring artists, bus drivers, and nurses. It is a place where an orphan from Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, living in America, can feel at home. With disarming honesty and intimacy, Samuelsson also opens up about his failures as a man--the price of ambition, in human terms--and recounts his emotional journey, as a grown man, to meet the father he never knew. Yes, Chef is a tale of personal discovery, unshakable determination, and the passionate, playful pursuit of flavors--one man's struggle to find a place for himself in the kitchen, and in the world\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2e8p85754qs5kcr5y9h1er.jpg?v=1e29942bcb","LDFMzd$f0jI=}n$$I=NI1Js.}DR,",2012,[868],{"id":869,"slug":870,"name":871},"01kx2e8p7gpq0q6j29w5f8a61g","marcus-samuelsson-vhwh","Marcus Samuelsson",[873,874,875],{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":20},{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":876,"name":877,"slug":878,"is_fiction":20},112,"Cooking","cooking",[],{"pace":148,"complexity":10,"audience":150,"mood":881,"themes":882,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[339,152],[],{"key":884,"params":885,"works":886},"genre",{"genre":36},[887,913,934,963,993,1016],{"id":888,"slug":889,"title":890,"description":891,"primary_cover_url":892,"cover_blurhash":893,"first_publish_year":894,"community_rating_avg":895,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":896,"authors":897,"genres":902,"series":909,"enrichment":910},"01kx2bk08tj3mt47crfa5kcsk4","long-live-the-tribe-of-fatherless-girls-ucyq","Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls","\"The book I wish I'd had growing up.\" —Chanel Miller, author of Know My Name Best Books of 2019: Esquire O, The Oprah Magazine Variety Lit Hub Book Riot Electric Literature Autostraddle Finalist: NBCC John Leonard First Book Prize Lambda Literary Award New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Selection Paste Best Memoirs of the Decade Elle Best Books of the Season Washington Post Best Books of the Month Indie Next Pick Indies Introduce Pick \"A fearless debut.\" — New York Times \"[A] gorgeous reckoning.\" — Washington Post \"Flat out breathtaking.\" — Lit Hub \"Gripping and gloriously written.\" — Elle \"Utterly unforgettable.\" — NYLON \"Unnervingly satisfying.\" — Oprah Magazine \"Deeply compassionate.\" —NPR.org \"Truly stunning.\" — Cosmopolitan Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden's raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where she found cult-like privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hiding in plain sight. As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name. But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls. With unflinching honesty and lyrical prose, spanning from 1960s Hawai'i to the present-day struggle of a young woman mourning the loss of a father while unearthing truths that reframe her reality, Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls is equal parts eulogy and love letter. It's a story about trauma and forgiveness, about families of blood and affinity, both lost and found, unmade and rebuilt, crooked and beautiful.

The Last Grand Duchess is a valuable account of the final decades of the house of Romanov as seen through the eyes of its last surviving member. Through Olga, we meet Queen Victoria, George V of England, Rasputin, Mrs. Anderson - on whose story the movie Anastasia was made - and other impostors who plagued the exiled duchess with false hope. In this official memoir, Ian Vorres captures the loneliness and violence of Olga's years in Russia, her loveless first marriage to Prince Peter of Oldenburg, her years of exile in England and Denmark, and her final settlement with her second husband and family in Canada.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nb389wtpv472vsskg8f5w.jpg?v=8f7818a0d3","LBLymSE1Q8rt4mRi%MxvY+xb*0xu",1964,256,[944],{"id":945,"slug":946,"name":947},"01kx6nb384563fnrc58ymtnd9m","ian-vorres-idbg","Ian Vorres",[949,953,957,958],{"id":950,"name":951,"slug":952,"is_fiction":21},34,"Historical Romance","historical-romance",{"id":954,"name":955,"slug":956,"is_fiction":21},55,"World War I","world-war-i",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":182,"name":183,"slug":184,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":245,"complexity":10,"audience":150,"mood":961,"themes":962,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[248,247],[250,155],{"id":964,"slug":965,"title":966,"description":967,"primary_cover_url":968,"cover_blurhash":969,"first_publish_year":894,"community_rating_avg":213,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":970,"authors":971,"genres":980,"series":988,"enrichment":989},"01kx6nsge3ekzh6ggkj314rnmf","the-presidents-aomn","The Presidents","The Presidents collects the complete rankings from C-SPAN's Historians Surveys of Presidential Leadership, the long-running poll in which leading presidential historians and biographers rate every U.S. president across categories such as persuasive ability, moral authority, and administrative skill.\n\nBuilt from decades of interviews C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb and Susan Swain conducted with presidential biographers, the book profiles each of the 43 men who had served as president at the time of the 2017 survey, ordering them from the highest-ranked (Abraham Lincoln) to the lowest (James Buchanan). Each chapter runs roughly a dozen pages, combining basic biography with the historians' reasoning for a president's placement. Contributors include historians such as Douglas Brinkley and Richard Norton Smith.\n\nDonald Trump is not included in the rankings, since his term was still in progress when the survey and book were completed, though the closing pages touch on how historians were beginning to assess his presidency.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nsgehp0vdqs8t12m2m6hv.jpg?v=d614774246","L15rPwWY4n.T+pjYS*RN00aIbwS6",560,[972,976],{"id":973,"slug":974,"name":975},"01kx6nsgecexnj6fqc8hggkza6","brian-lamb-q5yi","Brian Lamb",{"id":977,"slug":978,"name":979},"01kx6nsged92gvzbsbys0tnt18","susan-swain-auiy","Susan Swain",[981,985,986,987],{"id":982,"name":983,"slug":984,"is_fiction":20},102,"Politics","politics",{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":182,"name":183,"slug":184,"is_fiction":20},{"id":186,"name":187,"slug":188,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":10,"complexity":10,"audience":150,"mood":990,"themes":992,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[991,288],"informative",[],{"id":994,"slug":995,"title":996,"description":997,"primary_cover_url":998,"cover_blurhash":999,"first_publish_year":583,"community_rating_avg":570,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":10,"authors":1000,"genres":1005,"series":1011,"enrichment":1012},"01kx2a91wdrsvq8m8cab2zp44t","thoughts-from-walden-pond-by-henry-david-thoreau-rfnd","Thoughts from Walden Pond by Henry David Thoreau","This contribution to European historical literature--based on extensive research in Madrid--provides a clear and dispassionate account of successive ecclesiastical-secular conflicts and controversies, and deftly summarizes the diverse ideological and intellectual currents of the times. Nowhere in Europe has the Roman Catholic Church exerted a more mystical hold on the life of a nation than it has in Spain. Yet this hold has not been unchanging or unchallenged. By the mid-eighteenth century the Church was no longer the only legitimate source of authority, the all-pervasive presence that it had been, most forcefully in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Still, its power remained formidable. The Spanish Church imposed standards of conduct over the entire range of society, from the aristocracy to the peasant masses, and it possessed the material resources necessary to maintain an elaborate ecclesiastical network that influenced every aspect of Spanish life. The heart of the book deals with the reactions of the Church to the dramatic, sometimes violent, changes that occurred during the critical nineteenth-century period of national transition from royal absolutism to popular liberalism. The study examines the responses of the Church to the new social and political forces that could no longer be excluded or contained, among them an emergent secular--even anticlerical--culture and a developing capitalism.Callahan demonstrates that these changes engendered resentments and frustrations deep within the ecclesiastical order that persisted well into the twentieth century, notably with the Spanish Church's embrace of Franco.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx2a91wdrsvq8m8cab2zp44t.jpg?v=40f5ef3581","LwKSg$WDoKxW~8jHR+WV%JWCsmWp",[1001],{"id":1002,"slug":1003,"name":1004},"01kjqz7rn338hakt9x7rffhvn0","henry-david-thoreau-lynz","Henry David Thoreau",[1006,1007],{"id":35,"name":36,"slug":37,"is_fiction":20},{"id":1008,"name":1009,"slug":1010,"is_fiction":20},93,"Nature","nature",[],{"pace":245,"complexity":10,"audience":150,"mood":1013,"themes":1015,"setting_period":10,"summary":10,"content_warnings":10},[288,1014],"philosophical",[],{"id":1017,"slug":1018,"title":1019,"description":1020,"primary_cover_url":1021,"cover_blurhash":1022,"first_publish_year":1023,"community_rating_avg":213,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":1024,"authors":1025,"genres":1030,"series":1034,"enrichment":1035},"01kx27p2svvwepgyk3gnd4q0xm","aint-i-a-woman-5dwr","Ain't I a Woman","A world renowned author, scholar, public intellectual, and activist, bell hooks was 19 years old when she wrote *Ain't I a Woman* (published ten years later).
