The second in the Pulitzer Prizewinning historical fiction series takes Lanny Budd through the 1920s, from the rise of fascism to the crash on Wall Street.

The First World War brought an abrupt end to Lanny Budds idyllic youth. Now, in the wake of the Treaty of Versailles, he barely recognizes the beloved Europe of his boyhood.

At the start of his career as an international art dealer, Lanny travels to Italy and witnesses the brutal charisma of Fascist leader Benito Mussolini. Meanwhile, in Germany, the failed Beer Hall Putsch led by Adolf Hitlers Nazi Party strikes an ominous note foreshadowing the devastation to come. After two star-crossed love affairs, Lanny marries a wealthy heiress and chooses the United States with its booming economy as their home. But neither he nor those he loves can predict the financial disaster that will bring a decade of prosperity to an abrupt close.

Between Two Worlds brings one of the most fascinating and tumultuous decades of the twentieth century to thrilling life. A spellbinding mix of history, adventure, and romance, the Lanny Budd Novels are a testament to the breathtaking scope of Upton Sinclairs vision and his singular talents as a storyteller.

The problem with our nations schools today is not just the low test scores in basic reading and mathwhich are an obstacle for the economy, not to mention students futures. The challenge is that K12 instruction has been hijacked by Critical Theorists who are skeptical of representative government, freedom, and the American Dream.

Students and adults are woefully unprepared to fulfill civic responsibilities. Civicsthe study of the rights and duties of citizensis simply not taught enough, and Critical Theorists have been filling this intellectual vacuum with their revisionist history and odious ideology, teaching young Americans to judge people by the color of their skin.

The debates over the retelling of Americas past, on display in local school board meetings as well as conflicts between the New York Times 1619 Project and President Donald Trumps 1776 Commission, involve not just historical facts, but how Americans define their nation. This battle over our national identity is a cultural battle, involving schoolscultural institutionsand the ideas we all need to share to get along with our neighbors, raise families, and pursue the American Dream.

Title: Fairy Tales by Mother Goose

Author: Charles Perrault

Narrator: John Rayburn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 02:39:30

Language: English

Release date: 12-21-21

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Fairy Tales & Folklore, Kids

Summary:

A seventeenth-century writer named Charles Perrault was sometimes called Mother Goose, an imaginary author of fairy tales. His early material was inspired and derived from earlier folk tales that he greatly embellished and improved. The Mother Goose creation was actually based on European popular tradition. She was never identified as an actual person but instead was merely a way of calling attention to popular and rural storytelling. The tales most often ended with a moral, such as: Good manners are not easy/ They need a little care,/ But when we least expect it/ Bring rewards both rich and rare.

One of the most popular versions of the long-ago tales was Cinderella, and Perrault made several modifications to the original, these including the pumpkin carriage, fairy godmother, and the initial mention of the glass slippers.

This collection includes that story, along with other such known favorites as Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, Blue Beard, and Puss in Boots, along with such lesser known fairy tales as The Ridiculous Wishes, Little Thumb, Ricky of the Tuft, Griselda, and Donkey Skin.

Some of the stories were told similar to the style in which they had been written well more than three hundred years ago, with revisions in the telling over the years.

Listen now and enjoy.

Language: English

Release date: 07-12-22

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Politics, History, Political Ideologies

Summary:

The Republican Party must return to its roots as a progressive conservative party that defends the American Dream, the idea that whoever you are you can get ahead and know that your children will have it better than you did. It must show how the Democrats have become the party of inequality and immobility and that they created what structural racism exists through their unjust education, immigration, and job-killing policies.

Republicans must seek to drain the swamp by limiting the clout of lobbyists and interest groups. They must also be nationalists, and as American nationalism is defined by the liberal nationalism of our founders, the party must reject the illiberalism of extremists on the Left and Right. As progressives, Republicans must also recognize nationalisms leftward gravitational force and the way in which it demands that the party serve the common good through policies that protect the less fortunate among our countrymen. Republicans must also be the conservative party that defends our families, the nobility of American ideals, and the founders republican virtues.

By championing these policies, the Republicans will retain the new voters Trump brought to the GOP as well as those who left the party because of him. And as progressive conservatives, the GOP will become Americas natural governing party.

Title: Rajneeshpuram: Inside the Cult of Bhagwan and Its Failed American Utopia

Author: Russell King

Narrator: Russell King

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:29:41

Language: English

Release date: 03-08-22

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, World Religions

Summary:

A tale of breathtaking ambition, flamboyant personalities, palace intrigue, and casualties strewn along the path to enlightenment

In 1981, ambitious young Ma Anand Sheela transported the Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh to the United States to fulfill his dream of creating a utopia for his thousands of disciples. Four years later, the incendiary Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon collapsed under the weight of audacious criminal conspiracies hatched in its inner sanctum, including the largest bioterrorism attack in US history, an unprecedented election fraud scheme, and multiple attempted murders.

Rajneeshpuram explores how this extraordinary spiritual community, featured in the Netflix docuseries Wild Wild Country, went so wrong. Drawing from extensive interviews with former disciples and an unprecedented review of commune records, government and police files, and archival materials, author Russell King probes the charismatic power that Bhagwan (later known as Osho) and Sheela exercised over the community and the turbulent legal and political environment that left commune leaders ready to deceive, poison, and even murder to preserve their home and their master.

Rajneeshpuram is a fresh examination of the Rajneesh story, using newly available information and interviews with high-ranking disciples who have never before shared their stories.
