Book Description
The world is in trouble: the curtain of meaninglessness has engulfed it, and people live a life of dullness and suffering. Isabella is a young princess who doesn’t fit in with her royal family. Her cruel mother throws her in the dungeon and declares that the princess has been sent to finishing school – indefinitely. Isabella starts digging her way out and finds a well. She dives in, and deep in the water she finds a half of a golden heart that fills her with energy and life: the antidote to the illness consuming the world. She sets on a quest to find the other half of the golden heart, and with the help of friends in the forest she gets close to her goal – when trouble hits. A wizard entraps her and aims to steal the golden heart for himself. He makes her forget who she is and keeps her in his castle engaged to marry him. Will the owner of the other half of the golden heart succeed in waking up the princess from her stupor on time? Will the united golden heart liberate the world from the curtain of meaninglessness, or will the wizard succeed at keeping the populace entrapped? The Well of the Golden Heart is a tale of self-discovery, finding true love and the perils that are found along the way.

Believe and Destroy

Languages : en
Pages : 685
Book Description
There were eighty of them. They were young, clever and cultivated; they were barely in their thirties when Adolf Hitler came to power. Their university studies in law, economics, linguistics, philosophy and history marked them out for brilliant careers. They chose to join the repressive bodies of the Third Reich, especially the Security Service (SD) and the Nazi Party’s elite protection unit, the SS. They theorized and planned the extermination of twenty million individuals of allegedly ‘inferior’ races. Most of them became members of the paramilitary death squads known as Einsatzgruppen and participated in the slaughter of over a million people. Based on extensive archival research, Christian Ingrao tells the gripping story of these children of the Great War, focusing on the networks of fellow activists, academics and friends in which they moved, studying the way in which they envisaged war and the ‘world of enemies’ which, in their view, threatened them. The mechanisms of their political commitment are revealed, and their roles in Nazism and mass murder. Thanks to this pioneering study, we can now understand how these men came to believe what they did, and how these beliefs became so destructive. The history of Nazism, shows Ingrao, is also a history of beliefs in which a powerful military machine was interwoven with personal experiences, fervour, anguish, utopia and cruelty.
