War and Peace: With bonus material from Give War and Peace A Chance by Andrew D. Kaufman
Leo Tolstoy · 2014
War and Peace is considered one of the world’s greatest works of fiction. It is regarded, along with Anna Karenina, as Tolstoy’s finest literary achievement. Epic in scale, War and Peace delineates in graphic detail events leading up to Napoleon’s invasion of Russia, and the impact of the Napoleonic era on Tsarist society, as seen through the eyes of five Russian aristocratic families.

Pornography for the End of the World
Brendan Vidito · 2022
The end of the world demands a new form of pornography…<br/>From Brendan Vidito, the Wonderland-Award-winning author of Nightmares in Ecstasy, comes nine tales of apocalyptic body horror.<br/>A young man is initiated into a cult that worships sickness and disease.<br/>Survivors of a nuclear holocaust make a pilgrimage to the last movie theater in existence.<br/>Premonitions of disaster haunt a loving couple doomed to watch each other die.<br/>Each story pulsates with Vidito's characteristic dark humor, atmospheric tension, and visceral prose. This is pornography for the devotee of horror, the morbidly curious—pornography for the end of the world.<br/><br/>“With apocalyptic urgency, Vidito strip-mines our psychosexual fears and frailties as humans to elicit an ecstatic response. I couldn't stop reading. As a grand manipulator, he molds speculative horror and body horror into one dark hybrid, a sleek and cum-soaked vessel of transcendence.” - Joe Koch, The Wingspan of Severed Hands, Convulsive<br/><br/>“Audacious and devastatingly unique, Pornography for the End of the World is the literary equivalent of a Molotov cocktail with author Brendan Vidito’s fiery and explosive writing that feels utterly dangerous to read. I’m still recovering from the brutality of some of these tales.” - Eric LaRocca, Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

Why Are We The Good Guys?: Reclaiming Your Mind From The Delusions Of Propaganda
David Cromwell · 2012
One of the unspoken assumptions of the Western world is that we are great defenders of human rights,<br/>a free press and the benefits of market economics. Mistakes might be made along the way, perhaps even<br/>tragic errors of judgement such as the 2003 invasion of Iraq. But the prevailing view is that the West is<br/>essentially a force for good in the wider world. Why Are We The Good Guys? is a provocative challenge<br/>of this false ideology. David Cromwell digs beneath standard accounts of crucial issues such as foreign<br/>policy, climate change and the constant struggle between state-corporate power and genuine democracy.<br/>The powerful evidence-based analysis of current affairs is leavened by some of the formative experiences<br/>that led the author to question the basic myth of Western benevolence: from schoolroom<br/>experiments in democracy, exposure to radical ideas at home, and a mercy mission while at sea;<br/>to an unexpected encounter with former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, the struggles to publish<br/>hard-hitting journalism, and the founding of Media Lens in 2001.<br/>,

Necropolitica (Em Portugues do Brasil)
Achille Mbembe · 2018
Neste ensaio, propus que as formas contemporâneas que subjugam a vida ao poder da morte (necropolítica) reconfiguram profundamente as relações entre resistência, sacrifício e terror. Tentei demonstrar que a noção de biopoder é insuficiente para dar conta das formas contemporâneas de submissão da vida ao poder da morte. Além disso, propus a noção de necropolítica e de necropoder para dar conta das várias maneiras pelas quais, em nosso mundo contemporâneo, as armas de fogo são dispostas com o objetivo de provocar a destruição máxima de pessoas e criar “mundos de morte”, formas únicas e novas de existência social, nas quais vastas populações são submetidas a condições de vida que lhes conferem o estatuto de “mortos-vivos”. Sublinhei igualmente algumas das topografias recalcadas de crueldade (plantation e colônia, em particular) e sugeri que o necropoder embaralha as fronteiras entre resistência e suicídio, sacrifício e redenção, mártir e liberdade.
