Book excerpt: Lost Tycoon presents an unvarnished, in-depth portrayal of the man who vows to "Make America Great Again." Although it was first published in 1993, Lost Tycoon shows us that The Donald's personal character, political philosophy, business ethics, and attitude towards women haven't changed much in the past two decades.Trump is a man of many lives, and many wives. He is arguably the greatest self-promoter in the annals of American business. After inheriting a fortune, he made and lost billions in real estate and casino gambling, rising phoenix-like from his own ashes. He is a reality television show star, a father, a grandfather, and an alleged rapist. In Hollywood terms, he has literally been the producer and director of his own biopic--a real life "Citizen Kane," whose father hammered the same lines into his head when was a little boy: "You are a killer . . . you are a king . . . you are a killer . . .you are a king."Harry Hurt has created a cinema verité-style narrative that allows the words and actions of the principals to speak for themselves. It is indisputable that Donald's exploits in business, entertainment, and politics prove that he is--to borrow a metaphor from Fred Trump Sr.--"a killer." Reading this important biography about the real Donald Trump will help you to make an informed and engaged choice as to whether he is worthy of being "king."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast kingdom of Mount Olympus, where the gods reigned with power and splendor, a child was born. His name was Hades and he was destined for a life no one could imagine. From the beginning, Hades was neglected by his parents, Kronos and Rhea. While his siblings, Zeus and Poseidon, reveled in their parents' affection, Hades was left to his own devices. No one understood the darkness that resided within Hades, the deep desire for a connection that was denied him. As he grew up, he found solace in the shadows, seeking solace in the dark corners of the world. But Hades wasn't just hiding in the darkness. He desired power, a force that would make others tremble. And so he set his sights on the realm of the dead, a place where he could reign supreme. Driven by his ambition, Hades immersed himself in ancient texts and acquired forbidden knowledge. He learned the secrets of death and became the ruler of the underworld, ruling over a kingdom filled with lost souls. Yet, despite his new power, Hades remained afflicted by the loneliness that had tormented him since his childhood. He longed for companionship, for someone who could understand the depths of his soul. One day, while traveling the mortal world, Hades came across a grieving girl named Persephone. Her beauty captivated him and he knew she was the one he had always been looking for. Their meeting was not without consequences, because Hades, overwhelmed by his desire, decided to make Persephone his queen of the underworld. He kidnapped her, to the great dismay of his mother, Demeter, goddess of the harvest. But this is only the beginning of the story of Hades. His journey from neglected child to lord of the dead is only unfolding. The road ahead is strewn with pitfalls, strewn with challenges and unexpected revelations. As Hades navigates the complex world of gods and mortals, he will discover forgotten secrets and face unimaginable trials. Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the story of Hades is far from over. One day, while Hades was wandering the vast halls of the Underworld, a mysterious figure caught his attention. It was a young girl, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Hades, always attracted to those who ventured into his domain, approached her cautiously. "Who are you?" » he asked in his deep, resonant voice. The girl trembled but managed to find her voice. "I...I'm Echo," she replied, her words barely audible. Hades frowned, not recognizing his name. Echo shook her head, her voice growing louder. “No, Lord Hades. I came for help.” Hades leaned in, intrigued by her courage. Echo took a deep breath. “My voice, my Lord. It was stolen from me by an evil nymph named Narcissus. I cannot speak, only repeat the words of others. Hades' eyes widened in understanding. He had heard stories about Narcissus, the nymph known for her beauty and cruel heart. His punishment had silenced Echo forever. Empathy awoke in Hades, a feeling he had rarely felt. “I see,” he said softly. “And how do you want me to help you?” Echo looked up at him, pleading with his gaze. “Please, My Lord, use your power over the dead to reclaim my stolen voice. Without that, I am just a simple echo. Hades hesitated for a moment, considering the request. The Underworld was his realm and he had never used his powers for anything other than his own desires. But something in Echo's plea touched a long-forgotten part of his soul. “Very well,” Hades decided, surprising himself with his own generosity. “I will help you get back what is rightfully yours.” A glimmer of hope shone in Echo's eyes as she watched Hades summon his dark minions. They slipped through the cold, dark corridors, searching for the elusive nymph. Days turned into weeks as Hades and Echo tirelessly searched for Narcissus and his stolen treasures. They encountered countless challenges, but their determination never wavered. Finally, one full moon night, they found themselves in front of Narcissus, hypnotized by his own reflection in a pool of water. Hades, fueled by a new sense of justice, demanded that she return Echo's voice. Narcisse sneered, his voice brimming with arrogance. “Why should I give up such a precious prize? It is only a simple echo, without consequences. Hades' eyes flashed with fury. With a wave of his hand, he cast a spell on Narcissus, trapping her in her own reflection for eternity. Turning to Echo, Hades reached out and gently placed his hand on her throat. At that moment, a surge of power coursed through him, restoring his stolen voice. Echo gasped, feeling her vocal cords come back to life. Speechless with joy, Echo threw her arms around Hades in a grateful embrace. In that embrace, something changed within Hades, a feeling he had never felt before – the warmth of true connection. As they stood there, Hades and Echo realized that this unexpected encounter had changed them both. For Hades, this meant discovering the power of compassion, and for Echo, it meant finding her voice and a new sense of purpose. Little did they know that their paths would continue to intertwine, leading to unforeseen consequences and an unbreakable bond in the realm of the dead. In the vast darkness of the Underworld, Hades and Echo wandered the shadowed halls. Echo's voice, once stolen and silenced, now filled the air with its soft but enchanting tones. Hades found comfort in her presence and enjoyed the company he craved. As they walked, Echo shared bits of her past. She revealed that she was once a nymph, blessed with a voice capable of captivating any mortal or deity. However, her heart had been stolen by Narcisse, a vain and self-centered young man who only cared about his reflection. In her desperation to win his affection, she found herself entangled in a curse that silenced her voice, leaving her unable to express her true feelings. Hades, hearing Echo's story, felt a pang in his heart. He knew all too well the pain of loneliness and the pain of unrequited love. Despite his newfound power, there was still a void within him that needed to be filled. Determined to help Echo, Hades suggested they venture into the realm of the living. Thanks to his domination over the dead, he possessed the ability to cross the threshold that separated the worlds. Echo hesitated, unsure of what the living world had in store for her, but her curiosity eventually won out over her fear. Together they entered the land of the living, emerging into a meadow bathed in golden sunlight. Echo, accustomed to the shadows of the Underworld, shielded her eyes from the brightness, marveling at the beauty that surrounded her. As they walked through the vibrant landscape, Hades noticed Echo's reflection in a pond. It was as if her beauty and grace had been captured in that fleeting moment. A smile touched his lips, realizing the irony of his curse. Echo could no longer hear her own voice, but now she could see her true essence reflected back at her. Caught up in the moment, Hades found himself equally fascinated by Echo's reflection. Something stirred inside him, a feeling he couldn't explain. It was as if Echo sparked a warmth in his heart, a warmth he had long forgotten existed. But their peaceful interlude was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Demeter, Persephone's mother. Demeter's eyes widened in fury upon seeing Hades. She accused him of kidnapping Persephone, without realizing the choice her daughter had voluntarily made. Hades tried to explain, but his words fell on deaf ears. In her anger, Demeter invoked her powers, causing the meadow to wither and die. The once vibrant flowers withered under his wrath. Hades and Echo retreated to the Underworld, seeking refuge from the chaotic scene. Once back in the shadows, Hades realized the consequences of their brief journey to the realm of the living. As the questions swirled through his mind, Hades realized that their paths had intertwined in ways he could not yet understand. The underworld, once a place of solitude, had begun to blossom with the possibility of change. Little did he know that their fateful meeting would attract the attention of other gods and goddesses, setting off a series of events that would test Hades' new power and Echo's journey to self-discovery. Thus, as the realm of the dead continued its eternal existence, Hades and Echo prepared for the trials that awaited them, unaware of the fate that awaited their intertwined destinies. As Hades and Echo continued their journey through the winding paths of the Underworld, a feeling of anticipation hung in the air. A whisper of change lingered in the shadows, as if the realm of the dead itself longed for something different. Hades could feel the weight of responsibility growing on his shoulders, his new connection with Echo pushing him to consider the welfare of the souls under his rule. Their encounters with the shadows had exposed him to their forgotten stories, their broken dreams, and their unfulfilled desires. He could no longer remain indifferent to their fate, for his heart had been inflamed by the warmth of Echo's presence. Together, they ventured deeper into the depths of the Underworld, their footsteps echoing on the cold stone floor. Hades wondered if this journey would lead them to the answers they sought, to the secrets and revelations that would forever alter the course of their lives. As they reached the heart of the Underworld, a place where darkness converged and souls lingered in eternal turmoil, a faint light pierced the darkness. Intrigued, Hades guided Echo towards the source, his hand wrapping protectively around hers. The light emanated from a hidden chamber, hidden by layers of obsidian and guarded by strange whispers. With apprehension, Hades pushed open the heavy doors, Before them stood a great tapestry, intricately woven with dark threads and vibrant shades of light. It represented the stories of the forgotten, the lost souls who had long since passed into the realm of the dead. Whispers, like ethereal winds, echoed through the chamber, prompting Hades and Echo to delve deeper into the mysteries of the tapestry. With every step they took, stories unfolded before their eyes, revealing the triumphs and tragedies that had befallen the souls under Hades' tutelage. Hades ran his fingers over the tapestry, feeling the emotions of the souls resonate through the fabric. The magnitude of their pain and desire overwhelmed him, while the weight of their unfulfilled lives weighed on his shoulders. Echo, her voice restored but still haunted by the silence she endured, looked at the tapestry with eyes full of empathy. She understood their aspirations, their desire to be remembered and recognized, because she had also been silenced and forgotten. Together, Hades and Echo stood on the brink of change, realizing that their bond extended beyond their own personal journeys. They held the power to bring comfort and redemption to the souls who walked these shadows, to mend the broken tapestry of their lives. As they looked up, determination etched on their faces, Hades and Echo vowed to shine a light on the darkness, unearth the forgotten souls, and rewrite their stories in a way that would bring them peace. Little did they know that their quest for change would extend far beyond the underworld, encompassing the realm of the living and questioning the very foundations of Mount Olympus itself. The forces of destiny had been set in motion, and Hades and Echo were the catalysts for a rebellion that neither of them could fully understand. With the weight of their destiny upon them, they took one final step forward, ready to face the unknown and forge a future that would forever change the balance between life and death. Hades and Echo stood in awe, staring at the intricate tapestry before them. The woven threads represented forgotten souls, their faces etched with sorrow and longing. It was a haunting reminder of the pain that had been ignored for too long. A glint of determination ignited in Hades' eyes as he realized the weight of responsibility that rested on his shoulders. He knew he couldn't close his eyes anymore. Taking Echo's hand in his, he made a silent wish, a wish to bring comfort and redemption to these lost souls. Together, they embarked on a mission to find every forgotten soul, uncover their stories, and grant them the peace they deserved. In the depths of the Underworld, where restless spirits roamed, Hades and Echo searched for the first of the forgotten souls. They approached a disoriented shadow, its ethereal form barely visible in the dim light. Hades' heart sank at the sight of the lost soul, his eyes filled with emptiness. With a light touch of his hand, Hades summoned his powers, allowing him to see the soul's past. The mind's memories unfolded, revealing a life once filled with love and laughter, but consumed by tragedy and despair. Echo's voice rang out, weaving a melody that brought comfort to the forgotten soul, as they listened, without judgment, to her tale of woe. Moved by the spirit's story, Hades and Echo promised to bring him comfort and redemption. They vowed to bring forgotten souls back to the realm of the living, giving them a chance to heal their torn hearts. As they continued their journey through the Underworld, Hades and Echo encountered other lost souls, each with their own story of heartbreak and regret. They listened, comforted and offered a glimmer of hope in the midst of the darkness. With each forgotten soul redeemed, the atmosphere of the Underworld began to change. The once desolate realm was now filled with whispers of gratitude and newfound light. The shadows danced with renewed vigor, as if celebrating the possibility of redemption. News of Hades and Echo's mission spread throughout the underworld, reaching the ears of the most miserable souls. A spark of hope ignited within them, fueling their desire for a second chance: a chance to rewrite their history and find peace. News of their deeds also reached the farthest corners of Mount Olympus, where the gods and goddesses watched them with intrigued curiosity. Some doubted Hades' intentions, questioning his sudden transformation from a lonely lord to a compassionate guardian of the forgotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now that the collective death of mankind has become a possibility, no other thought can remain unimpaired. Harry Redner traces historically the onset of this acute state of Nihilism from what might be called the Faustian revolution, symbolized by Faust's pronouncement “In the beginning was the Deed.” Redner reflects on the passage of the three main Fausts, from Marlowe’s to Goethe’s to Thomas Mann’s, and this reflection serves as the dramatic metaphor for a review of the relationship of Progress to Nihilism in modern civilization. Starting with an exposition of the key Faustian thinkers—Marx, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Heidegger—the book proceeds by examining the dominant modern ideas on Man, Time, and Nihilism with reference to Foucault, Derrida, and Althusser. It focuses on Language, which is a key preoccupation of all these thinkers but has not yet been taken far enough to afford a basis for the explanation of fundamental changes in civilization. Language in its creative and destructive functions, as constituting both the conscious and unconscious of a culture, is reconceived so as to account for the hidden link between Progress and Nihilism. The author then explores sociologically the dominant aspects of Progress in terms of the ideas of Weber, Adorno, and Marcuse on Technology, Subjectivity, and Activism. Finally, an extensive literary study of the three main Fausts concludes with a coda on the future of music. In the Beginning Was the Deed is lucid and direct, tinged with wry humor. Redner represent Man in the nuclear age and reflects on that representation, seeking to comprehend our era, draw ethical and political conclusions, and explore action as a response to the threat of annihilation. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
