The Book of Enoch is not merely an ancient text — it is one of humanity’s earliest visions of divine revelation, cosmic law, and the fall and redemption of consciousness. Each section is introduced and expanded with exclusive commentary, historical background, and philosophical reflections by A. M. Solaris — guiding you through the symbolism, the theology, and the hidden wisdom that shaped later Judeo-Christian and Hermetic thought.

In The Real Men in Black, Bastian Locke peels back the layers of myth, media, and mystery to uncover ten defining facts about these shadowy figures. From the first frightened whispers of Albert Bender in the 1950s, to the pulp sensationalism of Gray Barker, to reports of bizarre behaviour that makes them seem “not quite human,” the book explores the origins, evolution, and meaning of the Men in Black legend.

Dom Pedro II foi um dos personagens mais populares do século XIX. Sempre em busca do consenso e das ideias majoritárias, fez de seu país a primeira grande democracia da América Latina durante seu reinado, de 1840 a 1889. Em O imperador republicano, dom Pedro II é apresentado sob um novo ponto de vista: não apenas como um monarca democrático, abolicionista e progressista, mas como um intelectual, educador e cidadão brasileiro.

Thanksgiving is one of America’s oldest traditions — but the story we tell about it is mostly myth. Thanks, But No Thanks walks through the real origins of the holiday, from the Indigenous nations who lived here long before the Pilgrims arrived, to the 1621 harvest feast, to the centuries of change that shaped Thanksgiving into what it is today. Along the way, it explores the wars, treaties, proclamations, school plays, family rituals, and cultural rewrites that turned a single event into a national tradition.

Einigkeit und Recht und Selbstmitleid! Ist unsere selbstverliebte und durch eine pathologische Opferolle definierte Gesellschaft wirklich das Modell der Zukunft? Wie konnte sich Deutschland, das einst stolze und starke Land der Dichter und Denker innerhalb kürzester Zeit in ein Moloch kognitiv teilmöblierter Jammerlappen entwickeln? Wieso werde ausschließlich ich unfair behandelt und seit wann stellt jede persönliche Meinung die alleinige und unumstößliche Wahrheit dar? Diesen und weiteren Fragen geht der Philanthrop Tobias Schmidt in seiner bisher wichtigsten Arbeit auf den Grund.

Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation (2003) brings two Americans together in Tokyo, each experiencing a personal crisis. Both are distant — emotionally and spatially — from their spouses. They are lost until they develop an intimate connection. In the film’s poignant, famously ambiguous closing scene, they find each other, only to separate. In this close look at the multi-award-winning film, Suzanne Ferriss mirrors Lost in Translation’s structuring device of travel: her analysis takes the form of a trip, from planning to departure...

In America’s history of settler colonialism, the “master narrative” framing inscribed into law, literature, and media has functioned as a powerful tool of control and conquest. America’s early history is not merely a record of events but a carefully constructed story — a dominant, overarching framework shaped by those in power to justify their actions and maintain control. Moreover, presenting settler actions as inevitable, morally justified, or necessary for the advancement of “civilization” allows the master narrative to distort and erase Indigenous perspectives.

This is the story of Eastbay, a startup tale unlike most you've heard. First it was $5,000 worth of track sneakers sold out of the back of an AMC Gremlin. Then it was a quiet storefront in Wausau, Wisconsin. Then it became a catalog, a bible to GenX kids growing up in the 1980s and '90s, a powerful tastemaker so authentic that pro athletes swore by it. Sneakerhead culture started here.

This Audiobook is not a blueprint for the future, but a philosophical exploration of the crisis of the present. It argues that capitalism, once animated by the promise of profit and endless growth, is now eroding from within. Profit has lost its legitimacy, work its meaning, and growth its aura of inevitability. Meanwhile, the historical alternatives—socialism, communism, anarchism—have been exhausted or discredited, leaving us in a void where the old is collapsing but the new has not yet emerged.
