Arjun Roy and the Cavern Lord
About the book:
What if a few people's imagination which you don't believe in, comes true to mess your life? I, Arjun Roy, was living a peaceful middle class life in Bangalore, dancing and playing guitar studying in class seven. But one incident changed my whole life and put me in a war against racism. How did I make it out? This book is all about how it all began. Now this guy with an experience of six days has to defeat a commander - in - chief.About the author:
Mohit L. Kumar, never heard of this name? That's because this book is his first release.Being a thirteen years old student even now, he wasn't quite confident about this series. Hearing stories about Hindu Mythology from his grandpa and grandma he had a keen interest in this topic which drove him into making this series. Still continuing his schooling in Saint Lawrence, he comes from a town in Odisha called Angul. He read books by different authors and studied their take on Hindu Mythology and finally he presents his version. He has other hobbies like dancing and playing guitar.
"At least once, you all might have wondered, what if we were connected to someone great back from the ancient times? If yes, then this book will surely make you assured of your thoughts. Arjun Roy was fun writing. Those who know me will easily find him a penned down version of me. Here goes my vision to you. I hope you enjoy the most out of it. Waiting for me to note my achievements? Sorry, I don't have anything to present here." ~ Mohit

Pod bičem hákového kříže
Kniha Pod bičem hákového kříže přináší faktický popis německých válečných zločinů za druhé světové války. Autor zkoumá Hitlerovy nástroje tyranie a německé zločiny páchané na válečných zajatcích i civilním obyvatelstvu a věnuje se také koncentračním táborům a konečnému řešení židovské otázky. Lord Russell v knize zkoumá největší nacistické zločiny – popravu 10 000 vězňů v Osvětimi během jediného dne, zničení varšavského ghetta, smrt 4 000 000 sovětských válečných zajatců či lynčování spojeneckých letců.
Lord of the World
In or about the year 2000, humanity has reached "that incredibly lofty goal to which its intrinsic efforts can carry it" — but rejected everything but crass materialism. Technology has advanced to the point where no one need work for a living, while the social sciences have achieved a smoothly-running if almost unbearably sterile social order. Formal religious beliefs except for Catholicism have been uprooted and eliminated as coherent systems, and the Catholic Church has been completely discredited in the eyes of the world, finally being outlawed. The result is everything the late Victorians and Edwardians believed would bring human happiness — and which brings nothing but the advent of new superstitions, despair, and the end of the world … maybe.
