The dethroned Emperor Nikolai II makes his farewell to the Army and is kept under guard with his family.

Many officers, including the head of the Baltic Fleet, the progressive Admiral Nepenin, are murdered. Black Sea Fleet Admiral Kolchak holds the revolution at bay; meanwhile, Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich, the emperor's uncle, makes his way to military headquarters, na簿vely thinking he will be allowed to take the Supreme Command.
A Mirror Above the Abyss

The intelligent action filled with facts and evidence appears to You. It proves that global events did not happen at all like it is generally understood.So, Kennedy wasn't killed by Oswald, who had been framed in advance, but by a woman - a professional sniper who worked on an unusual order. The man who planned and carried out the September 11 attacks in New York was just one kilometer from crumbling skyscrapers. The assassination attempt on Pope John Paul was being prepared to hide billion bank scams, and the pontiff knew about it. These and other significant events of the last 60 years turn out to be interconnected, leaving the trail to a criminal syndicate ... from one person, and from him to the highest establishment and intelligence services of the United States and other countries.In these times already, the "disappeared" archives belonging to those who died because of paying too much attention to the tragic events of September 11 end up with the American journalist Max Malin. Exciting events and mysterious coincidences, which many choose to forget about forever, lead the hero to dark shadows from the past. As a result of a complex and risky investigation, Malin discovers the perpetrators and mandators in the most remembered political assassination of the 20th century, the September 11 terrorist attack in New York, the assassination attempt on John Paul II, and the murder of a world-known banker. The novel is set in our time, and in parallel, it takes place in the days of the above horrific events - in 1963, 1981, 1999, and 2001. The book's ending is entirely unpredictable and shocking.The characters and protagonists of the novel are real and recognizable persons - from great politicians, billionaires, ministers of the Vatican to leaders of national and world crime syndicates.

Dead Souls
First published in 1842, "Dead Souls" is the story of Chichikov, a young middle-class gentleman who comes to a small town in Russia with a dubious plan to improve his wealth and position in life. He begins by spending beyond his means on the premise that he can impress the local officials and gain standing and connections in the community. At the heart of his plan is the idea of acquiring "dead souls" or more explicitly serfs of landowners who have died since the last census. Since the taxes of landowners are based upon the number of serfs that they employ, Chichikov believes that the landowners will be all too happy to part with these "dead souls". Legend has it that Gogol supposedly produced a third part to the novel which he destroyed shortly before his death. Despite ending in mid-sentence and with portions from the second part which seem to be missing it is generally accepted that the novel is extant. A satirical gem, Gogol's "Dead Souls" exemplifies his particular gift of exhibiting the true failings of humanity in all their absurdity. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and is translated by C. J. Hogarth.

The 3rd Floor
Tiago brings us into a clandestine world, closely, intimately, and leaves the legacy of that time and the demands it made on committed militants. If the time should ever come, anywhere, when this level of organized underground resistance is called for, then pick up these books and study how it was once done. In addition, these stories are engaging in their own ways, and Tiago introduces us to some memorable characters and scenes. These stories are presented in a certain order as if to suggest the birth, adventures and day-to-day lives of Communist militants in fascist Portugal as portrayed in different characters at discrete stages of political evolution. The presence of the Party is not felt in the last story, at least not overtly, but nevertheless it reflects the collective stance of a rural community toward a generally hated landowner, perhaps indicating how deeply anti-oligarchical ideas have embedded themselves even amongst a non-politically engaged population.
Silenced
A new administration sweeps into power, promising unity, promising a fair and just society. They lied. How do you control free people? You control their information and you control the message. Controlling the message makes yours the only truth. You silence dissenters, critical thinkers, and opponents of your truth. You use fear to limit their movement and make them dependent on their government by solving the problems government creates. Then you wait... wait for them to willingly trade their freedom for safety. Most importantly, you eliminate the concept that government exists at the consent of the governed. If successful, you become absolute power. Jack Stinger simply wanted to run his family business and live the American Dream. He and his wife, Lisa, worked hard to build the life they had. The government has a different plan. They attempt to drown the Stingers in bureaucracy, break their will to fight, to silence them. But they underestimated the Stinger family. Silenced takes the reader on a hypothetical dive into the allure of power and the corruption it breeds. It explores the question: What happens when our government achieves total control?
1977, en toutes lettres
1977, en toutes lettres est un r矇cit fragment矇 qui explore la th矇matique de la m矇moire individuelle en lien avec la m矇moire de la communaut矇, dans le contexte de r矇volution marxiste b矇ninoise des ann矇es 70. Un professeur d'universit矇 exil矇 en Europe rentre dans son pays natal le B矇nin, en compagnie de sa fille. Depuis 1977 qu'il a quitt矇 son pays, il n'y est plus jamais revenu. A l'矇poque, le B矇nin vivait sa r矇volution marxiste-l矇niniste. Le professeur retrouve donc ses amis rest矇s au pays, d矇sabus矇s par une r矇volution qui finalement n'a pas port矇 les fruits qu'ils esp矇raient. Par-dessus tout, le professeur d矇couvre enfin la v矇ritable histoire de la mort de son p癡re, martyr lui aussi, d'une r矇volution inachev矇e. 1977, en toutes lettres, est en d矇finitive un roman de souvenirs, mais aussi un roman 矇minemment politique o羅 l'auteur interroge le lien entre histoire personnelle et Histoire commune, d'une part, et les r礙ves des r矇volutionnaires du r矇gime marxiste-l矇niniste b矇ninois des ann矇es 70 d'autre part. Enfin, c'est un ouvrage de transmission, qui met en sc癡ne des personnages ? l'histoire tr癡s diverse, et chacun habit矇 par la soif de montrer la part qui a 矇t矇 la sienne dans cette Histoire qui au final, a souvent la m矇moire plut繫t courte. Extrait 1977 n'avait pas commenc矇 comme ces ann矇es que l'on sait d'avance charg矇es du rut de l'Histoire. Dans son souvenir, le vent de la saison qui h矇site - pluies ou harmattan - balaie encore le sentier ocre d矇roul矇 tel un tapis de cahots entre la maison parentale et l'矇cole primaire. Dans la boue des bords du passage, des groupes d'enfants s'amusaient ? modeler leurs r礙ves, avec la ferveur obs矇quieuse des chasseurs d'illusions. Il se rappelle l'un d'eux en particulier. Un grand silencieux ? la jambe bancale qui travaillait toujours seul, ? l'矇cart, repr矇sentant la m礙me figure chaque fois: une faucille et un marteau maladroitement imbriqu矇s. Il ne fredonnait pas les chansons de la formation id矇ologique comme les autres. Se contentait de fabriquer ses figurines - une dizaine dans la journ矇e... un peu plus peut-礙tre lorsqu'il faisait beau - puis de les ramollir le soir venu, pour obtenir la p璽te dans laquelle il fa癟onnerait celles du lendemain.
