The Last Courtesan
The Last Courtesan details the unbridled reality of the demimondaine Claudie de Rochambeau, whose life of notoriety is based on a multitude of fabricated pasts. She spreads a plague of illusions through turn-of-the-century Paris. With the reappearance of her sometimes fictional, sometimes factual biography, she regains her title as Princess of Love. She destroys the lives of many, enslaves others, and focuses on an eager young seamstress in her quest for an heir.
The Last Decadent: A Novel Of Paris
The Last Decadent casts an aggressive eye on the darkness which engulfs Paris, the refuge of all scorned artists, as the glories of La Belle Époque disintegrate into plagues of liberalism, neuroticism, and anarchy. Painter and photographer, husband and lover, creator and destroyer—Alexandre Guilbert's need for identity without personality inspires the outrage of proper society, and he cannot survive his own freedom. But will he leave a legacy, despite all efforts to the contrary?
A new expanded edition of the original 1919 collection of quotes that remind us the blessings given to each person by God were guaranteed, for the first time in human history, by the founding Fathers and documents of the United States of America.
In the early years of American history, poetry was a popular form of patriotic expression. Featured in this collection are Katharine Lee Bates, John Dickinson, Lydia Maria Child, Edward Thomas Harden, and twenty-five others whose plain words communicated great passion. Today, these nearly forgotten poems and songs serve not only to celebrate the nation’s greatness, but also to re-engage us in the duties to our country, to remind us of the responsibilities to our children, and to honor the sacrifices made by our forefathers. They are sure to make one’s heart pound with gratitude, and encourage one’s own heroic deeds and virtuous actions.
Constitution of the United States, Bill of Rights, Amendments
Every good citizen, capable of reading and understanding its meaning, is bound by duty to his country, if in his power, to possess a copy of the Constitution.”
The words of William Hickey are as true today as they were in 1847. We wanted to do our part to make sure every American citizen possesses and reads the founding document of the United States. What could be easier than a FREE digital book?
This edition of the Constitution includes the Bill of Rights and the further Amendments. What it doesn't include is commentary or interpretation, so that one is able to read and understand the meaning for oneself.
The men whose names are signed at the bottom of the Constitution are recorded merely as witness to its establishment. The Constitution is truly authored by We the People, as stated from the beginning. It is our document, by which we grant elected representatives certain limited duties and powers. When those representatives take an oath, it is not to the country, to Congress, or to their constituents—it is to uphold and defend the Constitution.
