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... [Sin in the Second City] describes a popular culture awash in wild tales of sexual abuse, crusading reformers claiming God on their side, and deep suspicion of the threat posed by \"foreigners\" to the nation's Christian values.\" --Janet Maslin, The New York Times \"Lavish in her details, nicely detached in her point of view, [and with] scrupulous concern for historical accuracy, Ms. Abbott has written an immensely readable book. Sin in the Second City offers much in the way of reflection for those interested in the unending puzzle that goes by the name of human nature.\" -- The Wall Street Journal \"Abbott's first book is meticulously researched and entertaining... a colorful history of old Chicago that reads like a novel.\" --The Atlanta Journal Constitution\"With gleaming prose and authoritative knowledge Abbott elucidates one of the most colorful periods in American history, and the result reads like the very best fiction. Sex, opulence, murder -- What's not to love?\" -- Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants\"A detailed and intimate portrait of the Ritz of brothels, the famed Everleigh Club of turn-of-the-century Chicago.

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,"3.88",9,107,[115],{"id":116,"slug":117,"name":118},"01kjq7eyjb5ehy0zsfypwhbrqj","william-shakespeare-ys9o","William Shakespeare",[120,124,125,129,133,137,140,143],{"id":121,"name":122,"slug":123,"is_fiction":20},14,"Plays","plays",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":126,"name":127,"slug":128,"is_fiction":19},92,"Science","science",{"id":130,"name":131,"slug":132,"is_fiction":20},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":134,"name":135,"slug":136,"is_fiction":20},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":112,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":20},"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":89,"name":141,"slug":142,"is_fiction":20},"Romance","romance",{"id":144,"name":145,"slug":146,"is_fiction":20},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",[],{"pace":87,"complexity":7,"audience":149,"mood":150,"themes":153,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[151,152],"romantic","melancholic",[154,155],"forbidden-love","betrayal",{"id":157,"slug":158,"title":159,"description":160,"primary_cover_url":161,"cover_blurhash":162,"first_publish_year":163,"community_rating_avg":164,"community_rating_count":165,"page_count":166,"authors":167,"genres":172,"series":187,"enrichment":188},"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,"4.42",6,442,[168],{"id":169,"slug":170,"name":171},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[173,176,177,178,182,183],{"id":165,"name":174,"slug":175,"is_fiction":20},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40,"is_fiction":19},{"id":112,"name":138,"slug":139,"is_fiction":20},{"id":179,"name":180,"slug":181,"is_fiction":20},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":134,"name":135,"slug":136,"is_fiction":20},{"id":184,"name":185,"slug":186,"is_fiction":20},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",[],{"pace":189,"complexity":7,"audience":90,"mood":190,"themes":192,"setting_period":7,"summary":195,"content_warnings":7},"slow",[92,93,191],"thought-provoking",[193,194],"morally-grey","unreliable-narrator","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":197,"slug":198,"title":199,"description":200,"primary_cover_url":201,"cover_blurhash":202,"first_publish_year":203,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":17,"page_count":204,"authors":205,"genres":210,"series":233,"enrichment":234},"01kjv3zr2062dk72dz629g9750","alan-turing-d1pc","Alan Turing","A definitive biography of Alan Turing, the mathematician and cryptanalyst whose work at Bletchley Park during World War II helped crack the Enigma code and lay the foundations for modern computer science.

She must decide whether to leave the comforting landscape of her native India for the strange rituals of life in a new country.This is a journey Tehmina, a middle-aged Parsi woman, must travel alone.The Parsis were let into India almost a millennium ago because of their promise to \"sweeten\" and enrich the lives of the people in their adopted country. This is an ancient promise that Tehmina takes seriously. And so, while faced with the larger choice of whether to stay in America or not, Tehmina is also confronted with another, more urgent choice: whether to live in America as a stranger or as a citizen. Citizenship implies connection, participation, and involvement. Soon destiny beckons in the form of two young, troubled children next door.
