Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race,” a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and men—bodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his son—and readers—the story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward.

Pages : 870
Book Description
"The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas is a captivating adventure novel that tells the story of Edmond Dantès, a young Marseille sailor unjustly imprisoned. Victim of a plot orchestrated by jealous rivals, Dantès is accused of treason and locked up in the sinister fortress of Château d'If. During his long incarceration, Dantès meets Abbé Faria, an erudite prisoner who becomes his mentor. Faria reveals to him the existence of a treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. After Faria's death, Dantès escapes spectacularly and discovers the fabulous treasure, which gives him immeasurable wealth. Transformed by the ordeal and fortune, Dantès reappears in Parisian high society under the mysterious identity of the Count of Monte Cristo. He then implements a meticulous plan of revenge against those who betrayed him: Fernand Mondego, Baron Danglars, Gérard de Villefort, and Caderousse. Each act of retaliation is cleverly orchestrated, revealing the secrets and crimes of his enemies. Throughout his quest, Monte Cristo is confronted with the unforeseen consequences of his actions, particularly on innocents. The novel thus explores themes of justice, redemption, and the limits of vengeance. The transformation of Dantès, from a naive young man to a relentless avenger, then to a being capable of compassion, constitutes the emotional heart of the work. Dumas weaves a complex plot, populated with memorable characters and striking twists. "The Count of Monte Cristo" remains a timeless classic, combining adventure, romance, and moral reflection in a captivating narrative.
