The two bullets fired in Sarajevo not only ended their love story, but also led to war and decades of conflict. Challenging a century of myth, this moving portrait of the end of an era also offers the startling truth behind the Sarajevo assassinations--including Serbian complicity--and examines rumors of conspiracy and official negligence.--From publisher description.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6pdrfyn0x2vx6hqnvh2m22.jpg?v=738ff85ac7","L04-;A0e00M|^+M|0LWV00?H?F-o",2013,384,[394,398],{"id":395,"slug":396,"name":397},"01kx6pdrfrev9d852607s3xmxf","greg-king-hcww","Greg King",{"id":399,"slug":400,"name":401},"01kx6nacznktxab0tnp6kdfx1r","sue-woolmans-xowp","Sue Woolmans",[403,404,405,406,407],{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":408,"name":409,"slug":410,"is_fiction":19},104,"True Crime","true-crime",[],{"pace":228,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":413,"themes":414,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[258,260,83],[],{"id":416,"slug":417,"title":418,"description":419,"primary_cover_url":420,"cover_blurhash":421,"first_publish_year":422,"community_rating_avg":302,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":423,"authors":424,"genres":426,"series":431,"enrichment":432},"01kx6p156xpg19096jkqjmwe5w","race-to-save-the-romanovs-6gjp","Race to Save the Romanovs","\"Investigating the murder of the Russian Imperial Family, Helen Rappaport embarks on a quest to uncover the many international plots to save them, why they failed, and who was responsible. The murder of the Romanov family in July 1918 horrified the world and its aftershocks still reverberate today. In Putin's autocratic Russia, the Revolution itself is considered a crime and its one hundredth anniversary was largely ignored. In stark contrast, the centenary of the massacre of the Imperial Family will be a huge ceremony attended by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. While the murder itself has received major attention, what has never been investigated in detail are the various plots behind the scenes to save the family--on the part of their royal relatives, other governments, and Russian monarchists loyal to the Tsar. Rappaport refutes the accusation that the fault lies entirely with King George V, as has been the traditional claim for the last century. The responsibility for failing the Romanovs must be equally shared. The question of asylum for the Tsar and his family was an extremely complicated issue that presented enormous political, logistical and geographical challenges at a time when Europe was still at war. Like a modern-day detective, Helen Rappaport draws on new and never-before-seen sources from archives in the United States, Russia, Spain ,and the United Kingdom, creating a powerful account of near misses and close calls with a heartbreaking conclusion. With its up-to-the-minute research, The Race to Save the Romanovs is sure to replace outdated classics as the final word on the fate of the Romanovs\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6p157en4z1j0k6jparp25v.jpg?v=5b35880d25","L?O3^HWBkCt7~qofkCWBD%j[jZj[",2018,400,[425],{"id":306,"slug":307,"name":308},[427,428,429,430],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":408,"name":409,"slug":410,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":228,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":433,"themes":434,"setting_period":7,"summary":435,"content_warnings":7},[258,260],[],"Historian Helen Rappaport investigates the failed efforts to rescue Tsar Nicholas II and his family before their July 1918 execution, drawing on previously unseen archival material from Russia, the United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom to reassess why the various rescue plots by royal relatives and foreign governments never succeeded.",[437,615,812],{"key":438,"params":439,"works":440},"genre_year",{"genre":31,"year":9},[441,470,493,521,549,576],{"id":442,"slug":443,"title":444,"description":445,"primary_cover_url":446,"cover_blurhash":447,"first_publish_year":448,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":449,"authors":450,"genres":455,"series":461,"enrichment":466},"01kx6nzgbjv1bgy1bqe0wm8ce2","storm-of-steel-xwbf","Storm of Steel","Ernst Jünger's first-person memoir of his service as a German officer on the Western Front, December 1914 to August 1918, drawn from his wartime diary.

A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the twentieth century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times--modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society--and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment. With The First World War, John Keegan, one of our most eminent military historians, fulfills a lifelong ambition to write the definitive account of the Great War for our generation. Probing the mystery of how a civilization at the height of its achievement could have propelled itself into such a ruinous conflict, Keegan takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations among Europe's crowned heads (all of them related to one another by blood) and ministers, and their doomed efforts to defuse the crisis. He reveals how, by an astonishing failure of diplomacy and communication, a bilateral dispute grew to engulf an entire continent. But the heart of Keegan's superb narrative is, of course, his analysis of the military conflict. With unequalled authority and insight, he recreates the nightmarish engagements whose names have become legend--Verdun, the Somme and Gallipoli among them--and sheds new light on the strategies and tactics employed, particularly the contributions of geography and technology. No less central to Keegan's account is the human aspect. He acquaints us with the thoughts of the intriguing personalities who oversaw the tragically unnecessary catastrophe--from heads of state like Russia's hapless tsar, Nicholas II, to renowned warmakers such as Haig, Hindenburg and Joffre. But Keegan reserves his most affecting personal sympathy for those whose individual efforts history has not recorded--\"the anonymous millions, indistinguishably drab, undifferentially deprived of any scrap of the glories that by tradition made the life of the man-at-arms tolerable.\" By the end of the war, three great empires--the Austro-Hungarian, the Russian and the Ottoman--had collapsed. But as Keegan shows, the devastation ex-tended over the entirety of Europe, and still profoundly informs the politics and culture of the continent today. His brilliant, panoramic account of this vast and terrible conflict is destined to take its place among the classics of world history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx6pa0fy2z5h4jewrhsmzd58.jpg?v=8fe3a6cc60","LxJa+TRjWCj@_Noef5fQRka}j[az",1998,475,[480],{"id":481,"slug":482,"name":483},"01kjz5gcph7kb7g8ry3acfae4f","john-keegan-llsa","John Keegan",[485,486,487,488],{"id":158,"name":159,"slug":160,"is_fiction":20},{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":185,"name":186,"slug":187,"is_fiction":19},{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":228,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":491,"themes":492,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[258,84,136],[],{"id":494,"slug":495,"title":496,"description":497,"primary_cover_url":498,"cover_blurhash":499,"first_publish_year":500,"community_rating_avg":302,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":501,"authors":502,"genres":507,"series":511,"enrichment":516},"01kjtgk8yr6rbpz75wfbaw66vs","the-guns-of-august-ssg9","The Guns of August","Barbara Tuchman's Pulitzer Prize-winning account brings to life the explosive first month of World War I.

The time of the novel is the closing months of the most senselessly savage of modern conflicts. In France, millions of men engaged in brutal trench warfare are all \"ghosts in the making.\" In England, psychologist William Rivers, with severe pangs of conscience, treats the mental casualties of the war to make them whole enough to fight again. One of these, Billy Prior, risen to the officer class from the working class, both courageous and sardonic, decides to return to France with his fellow officer, poet Wilfred Owen, to fight a war he no longer believes in. Meanwhile, Rivers, enfevered by influenza returns in memory to his experience studying a South Pacific tribe whose ethos amounted to a culture of death. Across the gulf between his society and theirs, Rivers begins to form connections that cast new light on his--and our--understanding of war. Combining poetic intensity with gritty realism, blending biting humor with tragic drama, moving toward a denouement as inevitable as it is devastating, *The Ghost Road* both encapsulates history and transcends it. It is a modern masterpiece.

In The Five, historian Hallie Rubenhold refuses that framing and instead reconstructs the full lives of Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.\n\nDrawing on extensive archival research, Rubenhold traces each woman from birth through the social forces — poverty, industrialization, unstable marriages, addiction, and the near-total lack of options available to working-class women — that led them to the streets of the East End. In doing so she dismantles the long-repeated assumption that all five were prostitutes, and restores to them the dignity of being understood as individuals rather than corpses.\n\nWinner of the Baillie Gifford Prize, The Five is a work of social history and biography that deliberately keeps its gaze away from the killer. It is a moving, meticulously researched portrait of Victorian womanhood and a corrective to one of the most famous true-crime narratives in the world.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfjhvydamqc4kf6cktbzx9b.jpg","LRAo4}V?DOog*0V?Mdt7IAbIoJj[",2019,352,[629],{"id":630,"slug":631,"name":632},"01kkc81n9r3erfyea2z7aw3d9x","hallie-rubenhold-rew9","Hallie Rubenhold",[634,635,636,637,641,642],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":408,"name":409,"slug":410,"is_fiction":19},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":638,"name":639,"slug":640,"is_fiction":20},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127,"is_fiction":19},{"id":643,"name":644,"slug":645,"is_fiction":19},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":228,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":648,"themes":649,"setting_period":7,"summary":650,"content_warnings":7},[258,84,83,136,135],[],"Historian Hallie Rubenhold reclaims the lives of the five women murdered by Jack the Ripper in 1888 — Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary Jane — refusing to center the killer.

As the confession deepens, Monique begins to wonder why Evelyn chose her, and what the fading star still stands to gain by telling everything.\n\nTold largely through Evelyn's own unflinching voice, Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel is a story about the cost of fame, the compromises women make to seize power in a world designed against them, and the difference between the public image and the private heart.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5s63redz87wyv08b9b8ah.jpg","LGCP^JIuU{KK}ZS6wMS2MLkWpGi{",2017,"4.37",19,[827],{"id":828,"slug":829,"name":830},"01kjq809s1bz8jkha881zbv9c5","taylor-jenkins-reid-jk5i","Taylor Jenkins Reid",[832,833,834,838,839,843,844],{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":20},{"id":835,"name":836,"slug":837,"is_fiction":20},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",{"id":568,"name":569,"slug":570,"is_fiction":20},{"id":840,"name":841,"slug":842,"is_fiction":20},36,"LGBTQ+ Romance","lgbtq-romance",{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":20},{"id":845,"name":846,"slug":847,"is_fiction":20},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[849],{"id":850,"slug":851,"name":852,"position":853,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kve2ck560hws5hr6hqne7fwn","the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-universe-pysh","The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Universe","1.00",{"pace":228,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":855,"themes":856,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[84,230],[857,858],"secret-identity","dual-timeline",{"id":860,"slug":861,"title":862,"description":863,"primary_cover_url":864,"cover_blurhash":865,"first_publish_year":866,"community_rating_avg":867,"community_rating_count":868,"page_count":449,"authors":869,"genres":874,"series":887,"enrichment":888},"01kjq83x73n068xsj6zafqe2rg","im-glad-my-mom-died-jwo4","I'm Glad My Mom Died","Jennette McCurdy was six years old when her mother enrolled her in acting, chasing the Hollywood dream she wanted for herself.

Eleven-year-old Anne Shirley is nothing they asked for — dreamy, dramatic, quick to fall into scrapes and just as quick to charm — but before they can send her back, she has woven herself irrevocably into their quiet lives.\n\nL.M. Montgomery's beloved 1908 classic follows Anne through her childhood and early adolescence in the small community of Avonlea: her fierce friendship with Diana Barry, her long rivalry with Gilbert Blythe, her triumphs and mortifications at school, and her steady growth from an unwanted orphan into the heart of a family and a town. Anne's boundless imagination transforms an ordinary rural corner of Canada into a place of \"scope for imagination,\" and her irrepressible spirit has enchanted readers for more than a century.\n\nWarm, funny, and quietly moving, Anne of Green Gables is a coming-of-age story about belonging, loyalty, and the way one open-hearted child can reshape the people around her. It remains a cornerstone of children's literature and the first of the eight-book Anne series.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kqs75h5vk662n4gmvy8c4w17.jpg","LQN,@?xt?^kWJNWWRPs,KOa{Vrag",1908,[961],{"id":962,"slug":963,"name":964},"01kjq86ngbck969s36gecq872g","lucy-maud-montgomery-fwqm","Lucy Maud Montgomery",[966,967,971,972,973,977,978,979,983,987,991],{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":968,"name":969,"slug":970,"is_fiction":19},79,"Education","education",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":74,"name":799,"slug":800,"is_fiction":20},{"id":974,"name":975,"slug":976,"is_fiction":20},17,"Children's Books","childrens",{"id":169,"name":170,"slug":171,"is_fiction":20},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":20},{"id":980,"name":981,"slug":982,"is_fiction":20},66,"Juvenile","juvenile",{"id":984,"name":985,"slug":986,"is_fiction":20},16,"Young Adult","young-adult",{"id":988,"name":989,"slug":990,"is_fiction":20},65,"Middle Grade","middle-grade",{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":20},[993],{"id":994,"slug":995,"name":955,"position":853,"is_main_entry":20,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kjq86nrvd9tyv388s3e46x02","anne-of-green-gables-t1si",{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":997,"mood":998,"themes":1001,"setting_period":7,"summary":1004,"content_warnings":7},"children",[999,1000],"whimsical","heartwarming",[1002,1003],"found-family","fish-out-of-water","A talkative, imaginative orphan girl with a penchant for dramatic storytelling is sent by mistake to live with two elderly siblings who had hoped for a boy instead.

When she takes a job as a reader for a literary agency, her first assignment is a manuscript called \"Sweet Blasphemy\" — a novel about the thirteenth-century poet Rumi and the wandering dervish who transformed him.\n\nThat inner novel forms the book's second thread. In the Anatolian city of Konya, the respected scholar and preacher Rumi encounters Shams of Tabriz, a restless mystic who lives by forty rules of love. Their intense spiritual friendship — built on soul-to-soul conversation the Sufis call sohbet — remakes Rumi into one of history's greatest mystical poets, but it also unsettles his household and his city.\n\nAs Ella reads, the seven centuries and two cultures separating her from Shams begin to collapse. Rumi's awakening mirrors her own dawning restlessness, and a correspondence with the manuscript's author draws her toward a life she had stopped believing was possible. Elif Shafak braids the two timelines together into a meditation on love as a force that dissolves the boundaries of self, faith, and time.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fcontributions\u002Fedition\u002F01\u002F01kjwhxy0tjn7r7w7d0mcekhqz_6a079a992fc1e.jpg","L8F=y-0Q02Vt03xB=skW00-j}pbb",2010,"4.83",6,368,[1017,1021,1025],{"id":1018,"slug":1019,"name":1020},"01kjwhxy0ck6r6rtepje2aps35","elif-safak-6ayf","Elif Şafak",{"id":1022,"slug":1023,"name":1024},"01kqnc3aac3rgmc31ddd2y4n5p","alyf-shafak-xk0e","أليف شافاك",{"id":1026,"slug":1027,"name":1028},"01kqnc3aaetjfrf1yq3drb24wj","mhmd-droysh-nbng","محمد درويش",[1030,1031,1032,1033,1034,1035,1039,1040,1041,1045,1046],{"id":568,"name":569,"slug":570,"is_fiction":20},{"id":181,"name":182,"slug":183,"is_fiction":20},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":20},{"id":129,"name":130,"slug":131,"is_fiction":19},{"id":785,"name":786,"slug":787,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1036,"name":1037,"slug":1038,"is_fiction":20},22,"Magical Realism","magical-realism",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36,"is_fiction":19},{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":1042,"name":1043,"slug":1044,"is_fiction":19},97,"Spirituality","spirituality",{"id":793,"name":794,"slug":795,"is_fiction":19},{"id":835,"name":836,"slug":837,"is_fiction":20},[],{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":1049,"themes":1051,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[84,1050,919],"romantic",[858],[]]
