Описание: A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of 2017 A dual biography of Winston Churchill and George Orwell, who preserved democracy from the threats of authoritarianism, from the left and right alike. Both George Orwell and Winston Churchill came close to death in the mid-1930's--Orwell shot in the neck in a trench line in the Spanish Civil War, and Churchill struck by a car in New York City. If they'd died then, history would scarcely remember them. At the time, Churchill was a politician on the outs, his loyalty to his class and party suspect. Orwell was a mildly successful novelist, to put it generously. No one would have predicted that by the end of the 20th century they would be considered two of the most important people in British history for having the vision and courage to campaign tirelessly, in words and in deeds, against the totalitarian threat from both the left and the right. In a crucial moment, they responded first by seeking the facts of the matter, seeing through the lies and obfuscations, and then they acted on their beliefs. Together, to an extent not sufficiently appreciated, they kept the West's compass set toward freedom as its due north. It's not easy to recall now how lonely a position both men once occupied. By the late 1930's, democracy was discredited in many circles, and authoritarian rulers were everywhere in the ascent. There were some who decried the scourge of communism, but saw in Hitler and Mussolini "men we could do business with," if not in fact saviors. And there were others who saw the Nazi and fascist threat as malign, but tended to view communism as the path to salvation. Churchill and Orwell, on the other hand, had the foresight to see clearly that the issue was human freedom--that whatever its coloration, a government that denied its people basic freedoms was a totalitarian menace and had to be resisted. In the end, Churchill and Orwell proved their age's necessary men. The glorious climax of Churchill and Orwell is the work they both did in the decade of the 1940's to triumph over freedom's enemies. And though Churchill played the larger role in the defeat of Hitler and the Axis, Orwell's reckoning with the menace of authoritarian rule in Animal Farm and 1984 would define the stakes of the Cold War for its 50-year course, and continues to give inspiration to fighters for freedom to this day. Taken together, in Thomas E. Ricks's masterful hands, their lives are a beautiful testament to the power of moral conviction, and to the courage it can take to stay true to it, through thick and thin. Churchill and Orwell is a perfect gift for the holidays

If you are going through something, in the midst of overcoming, or reflecting on past lessons you will resonate with the courage it takes to keep moving forward, and the brightness of God's grace and mercy during our darkest moments.

Описание:
Samantha Altera Woodcutter is just one of hundreds journeying to Farnorth, a walled city they hope will protect them from an evil dragon that is burning farmlands and murdering the innocent. When she runs into trouble with mercenaries along the way, Samantha slays a dragon as revenge for killing her family. Her unforgiving journey has just begun.
Samantha, a half-demon, half-dragon with powerful blue eyes, doesn't care if her battle with the evil dragon destroys everyone and everything around her. She is the most important person to the dragons in the universe. After she settles in Farnorth to begin anew, the queen requests to meet her, setting into motion an extraordinary chain of events. As Samantha's path crosses with that of several characters including a mercenary captain, an army general, and the queen's wizard, she precariously balances between good and evil as both sides battle for supremacy and their gods do everything in their power to have her. But as war rages around her, Samantha is about to make a shocking discovery that changes everything.
In this continuing fantasy tale, a beautiful half-demon, half-dragon sets out on a quest to avenge the death of her family where she quickly realizes that nothing is as it seems.
