Massacre: The Life and Death of the Paris Commune
By John Merriman. 2014
The Paris Commune lasted for only 64 days in 1871, but during that short time it gave rise to some…
of the grandest political dreams of the nineteenth century—before culminating in horrific violence. Following the disastrous French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, hungry and politically disenchanted Parisians took up arms against their government in the name of a more just society. They expelled loyalists and soldiers and erected barricades in the streets. In Massacre, John Merriman introduces a cast of inimitable Communards—from les pétroleuses (female incendiaries) to the painter Gustave Courbet—whose idealism fueled a revolution. And he vividly recreates the Commune’s chaotic and bloody end when 30,000 troops stormed the city, burning half of Paris and executing captured Communards en masse. A stirring evocation of the spring when Paris was ablaze with cannon fire and its citizens were their own masters, Massacre reveals how the indomitable spirit of the Commune shook the very foundations of Europe.Breek familievloeke: Eis jou vryheid

kinders; selfs dié wat nog ongebore is. Die onderwerp van vloeke is lank reeds afgeskeep, en ons het nodig om uit te vind om dit hier te ontbloot. Ons begin deur te gaan na die skrifte om presies te weet wat God sê oor vloeke, hoe hulle werk, en hoe ons heeltemal vry van hulle kan wees. Familievloeke is so belangrik dat God hulle ingesluit het by die Tien Gebooie. So baie mense is gebind deur die vyand met onsigbare en anonieme instrumente van slawerny. In hierdie studie sal ons leer hoe om hierdie kettings wat afkomstig is van die vyand te breek. Ons verken gebiede soos afgodery (insluitend Halloween), onsedelikheid, verraad, steel, moord, ens. in diepte Ek glo dat as jy hierdie boek lees en die waarhede verken sal daar nog baie roeringe in jou wees om jouself te ondersoek en 'n daadwerklike poging maak om 'n heilige lewe te lei, al dan nie vir jouself nie, ten minste ter wille van jou kinders en die ongebore geslagte.Word betaal vir jou gedigte

By Molly Peacock. 2017
When a psychoanalyst became a painter after surviving a stroke, her longtime patient, distinguished and beloved poet Molly Peacock, took…
up a unique task. The Analyst is a new, visceral, twenty-first century "in memoriam" of ambiguous loss in which Peacock brilliantly tells the story of a decades-long patient-therapist relationship that now reverses and continues to evolve. Peacock invigorates the notion of poetry as word-painting: A tapestry of images, from a red enameled steamer on a black stove to Tibetan monks funneling glowing sand into a painting, create the backdrop for her quest to define identity. From "In Our Unexpected Future":. . . for frocks outlast pillars. But feelingsoutlive frocks. The immaterial storms through,a force beyond years (a mere four since youwere nearly felled). It isn't what happened that lasts. Not art, either, but the savory core. What's felt.Poems That Do Not Sleep
