Download or read book Literary Trials written by Ralf Gr�ttemeier and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 19th century onwards, famous literary trials have caught the attention of readers, academics and the public at large. Indeed it is striking that more often than not, it was the texts of renowned writers that were dealt with by the courts, as for example Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Charles Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal in France, James Joyce's Ulysses and Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer in the US, D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover in Great-Britain, up to the more recent trials on Klaus Mann's Mephisto and Maxim Biller's novel Esra in Germany. By bringing together international leading experts, Literary Trials represents the first step towards a systematic discussion of literary trials on a global scale. Beginning by first reassessing some of the most famous of these trials, it also analyses less well-known but significant literary trials. Special attention is paid to recent developments in the relationship between literature and judicature, pointing towards an increasing role for libel and defamation in the societal demarcation of what literature is, and is not, allowed to do.

Mr. LaRouche has written many books detailing his proposals for development of civilization from Earth outward to the planets, but this book gives extraordinary insight into how he came to make his discoveries and how he decided upon the unique course of action which now is reflected in the adoption of many of his proposals by a majority of the world’s nation states.
Download or read book Human Race Get Off Your Knees written by David Icke and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Icke marks his 20th year of uncovering astounding secrets and suppressed information with the publication of his most amazing book yet: Human Race Get off Your Knees : The Lion Sleeps No More. He takes the manipulation of the human race and the nature of reality to still new levels of understanding and he calls for humanity to rise from its knees and take back the world from the sinister network of families and non-human entities that covertly control us from cradle to grave. His most staggering revelation is that the Earth and the collective human mind is manipulated from the Moon, which, he says, is not a 'heavenly body, but an artificial construct - a gigantic 'spacecraft' (probably a hollowed-out 'planetoid') - which is home to the extraterrestrial group that has been manipulating humanity for aeons. Humanity is at a fork in the road and it is time to make a choice. Are we going to awaken to our true genius and potential as Infinite Consciousness? Or are we going to remain entrapped in body/mind and the manufactured illusions of the Moon Matrix? It is time to shake off the shackles, stop being Pavlov's dogs and grab reality by the balls and wake up to who we are truly meant to be.

Download or read book The Last Emperor of Mexico written by Edward Shawcross and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true operatic tragedy of Maximilian and Carlota, the European aristocrats who stumbled into power in Mexico—and faced bloody consequences. In the 1860s, Napoleon III, intent on curbing the rise of American imperialism, persuaded a young Austrian archduke and a Belgian princess to leave Europe and become the emperor and empress of Mexico. They and their entourage arrived in a Mexico ruled by terror, where revolutionary fervor was barely suppressed by French troops. When the United States, now clear of its own Civil War, aided the rebels in pushing back Maximilian’s imperial soldiers, the French army withdrew, abandoning the young couple. The regime fell apart. Maximilian was executed by a firing squad and Carlota, secluded in a Belgian castle, descended into madness. Assiduously researched and vividly told, The Last Emperor of Mexico is a dramatic story of European hubris, imperialist aspirations clashing with revolutionary fervor, and the Old World breaking from the New.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Une petite fille de dix ans, contrainte de porter le voile à Téhéran, se révolte en se dénudant. Dans l'atmosphère absurde propre aux révolutions, elle fait l'apprentissage de la liberté, épaulée par son père. Puis, c'est la guerre et l'exil à Paris. Alors qu'elle pensait les barbus et les corbeaux cantonnés à son pays de naissance, elle les retrouve dans les rues, à l'école, dans le métro. La révolte n'est pas finie, l'indépendance n'est pas totale. C'est alors qu'elle rencontre le marquis de Sade. Enfin, la petite fille devenue femme peut brûler son foulard et affirmer, sans peur, sa liberté. Récit intime tout autant que politique, Khomeiny, Sade et moi peut se lire comme l'histoire du corps féminin aux prises avec ses contradicteurs. De la Révolution iranienne à Mohamed Merah, en passant par Les Versets Sataniques et Madonna, les grandes courtisanes et les printemps arabes, le récit - narration de faits inventés et réels - alterne les anecdotes intimes et les événements sociaux-politiques, avec humour et enthousiasme, pour offrir un autre regard d'exilé sur la France.
