The Mongolian Conspiracy
Author: Rafael Bernal
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 0811220664
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
A gripping and hilarious 1960s Mexico City noir Only a couple of days before the state visit of the President of the United States, Filiberto García — an impeccably groomed "gun for hire," ex-Mexican revolutionary, and classic anti-hero — is recruited by the Mexican police to discover how much truth there might be to KGB and FBI reports of a Chinese-Mongolian plot to assassinate the Soviet and American presidents during the unveiling of a statue. García kills various bad guys as he searches for clues in the opium dens, curio shops, and Cantonese restaurants of Mexico City’s Chinatown — clues that appear to point not to Mongolia, but to Cuba. Yet as the bodies pile up, he begins to find traces of slimy political dealings: are local gears grinding away in these machinations of an "international incident"? Pulsating behind the smokescreen of this classic noir are fierce curses, a shockingly innocent affair,smoldering dialog, and unforgettable riffs about the meaning of life, the Mexican Revolution, women, and the best gun to use for close-range killing.

The Conspiracy against the Human Race
Author: Thomas Ligotti
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525504915
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
In Thomas Ligotti's first nonfiction outing, an examination of the meaning (or meaninglessness) of life through an insightful, unsparing argument that proves the greatest horrors are not the products of our imagination but instead are found in reality. "There is a signature motif discernible in both works of philosophical pessimism and supernatural horror. It may be stated thus: Behind the scenes of life lurks something pernicious that makes a nightmare of our world." His fiction is known to be some of the most terrifying in the genre of supernatural horror, but Thomas Ligotti's first nonfiction book may be even scarier. Drawing on philosophy, literature, neuroscience, and other fields of study, Ligotti takes the penetrating lens of his imagination and turns it on his audience, causing them to grapple with the brutal reality that they are living a meaningless nightmare, and anyone who feels otherwise is simply acting out an optimistic fallacy. At once a guidebook to pessimistic thought and a relentless critique of humanity's employment of self-deception to cope with the pervasive suffering of their existence, The Conspiracy against the Human Race may just convince readers that there is more than a measure of truth in the despairing yet unexpectedly liberating negativity that is widely considered a hallmark of Ligotti's work.

Not Without Honor
Author: Richard Gid Powers
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300074703
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 598
Book Description
The American anticommunist movement has been viewed as a product of right-wing hysteria that deeply scarred our society and institutions. This book restores the struggle against communism to its historic place in American life. Richard Gid Powers shows that McCarthyism, red-baiting, and black-listing were only one aspect of this struggle and that the movement was in fact composed of a wide range of Americans--Jews, Protestants, blacks, Catholics, Socialists, union leaders, businessmen, and conservatives--whose ideas and political initiatives were rooted not in ignorance and fear but in real knowledge and experience of the Communist system. "Not Without Power is superbly written and richly detailed. Perceptive and thoughtful, it is an impressively thorough and valuable book."--David J. Garrow "One of the contributions of [Powers's] provocative narrative history is to bring to life certain segments of anti-Communist opinion that have largely been forgotten."--Sean Wilentz, New York Times Book Review "[Powers] makes extensive use of primary sources and uncovers much that is new. He vividly recreates the complex relationships within and between several ethnic and radical communities within the United States, including their firsthand and often disillusioning experience with communism. . . . The depth and range of his work add a great deal to knowledge."--Journal of American History "A valuable, well-executed study and summation of a vast topic, one whose various threads the author has woven into a rich tapestry."--Richard M.

The Complaint of Mexico
Author: George Allen
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780259208587
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Excerpt from The Complaint of Mexico: And Conspiracy Against Liberty This is assuming, at once, what time only can prove. The position of the Atlas seems to be taken from a hasty glance at the letter of our Secretar rather than from mature reflection on its principles and a care 111 attention to the facts which it has set forth as true; or, perhaps, from a habit of reliance on the well known caution, correctness, and force of Mr. Webster's state ments and conclusions, when made by him as his own, and when personally liable before the tribunal of high public senti ment for whatever may prove unjust or inconclusive. The true question is not whether Mr. Webster's letter is written with as much eloquence as a state-paper will ordinarily allow, for in this respect Mr. Webster could hardly fail to be himself; but, whether talent and force of manner shall take the place, in the judgment of the country, of truth and justice.
