Historia
In Goliath, New York Times best-selling author Max Blumenthal takes us on a journey through the badlands and high roads of Israel-Palestine, painting a startling portrait of Israeli society under the siege of increasingly authoritarian politics as the occupation of the Palestinians deepens. Beginning with the national elections carried out during Israel's war on Gaza in 2008/9, which brought into power the country's most right-wing government to date, Blumenthal tells the story of Israel in the wake of the collapse of the Oslo peace process.

The brutality of the occupation
Revisado: 06-28-24
This is humanist understating of the occupation of Palestine, the denial of rights under apartheid and the show massacre of the Palestinians to create a religious ethnic state

Historia
Ahed Tamimi is a world-renowned Palestinian activist, born and raised in the small West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, which became a center of the resistance to Israeli occupation when an illegal, Jewish-only settlement blocked off its community spring. Tamimi came of age participating in nonviolent demonstrations against this action and the occupation at large. Her global renown reached an apex in December 2017, when, at sixteen years old, she was filmed slapping an Israeli soldier who refused to leave her front yard. The video went viral, and Tamimi was arrested.

A story in which the humanity within the struggle stands out
Revisado: 12-05-23
The humanity of Palestinians undergoing a suffocating and torturous occupation of a16 year old girl trying to finish her exams is heartbreaking and her humanity in seeing the occupation as the problem instead of the Jews or army is a powerful statement of the Palestinian ability to humanize their struggle.

Historia
Among the most celebrated and beloved novels of 2021, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel is a triumph of imagination and compassion, a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope—and a book. In Cloud Cuckoo Land, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we’re gone.

Story of labor and distraction
Revisado: 11-01-21
Juxtaposed against the fall of Troy, Constantinople, and fossil fuel dependent America, the characters in this book are exploited by petty tyrants, priests, kings and corporations for a mythic future that fails spectacularly to meet expectations. This is a book about caring and how stories aid the trampled off history to carry on while appreciating and moaning the loss of their natural environs.

Pedophiles with money own the justice system
Revisado: 08-28-21
Money corrupts, allowing the worst instincts to buy the police and the Justice system. It may have always been the case but this book claims that the loss of local newspapers and journalists are the reason why the wealthy get away. The story told in this book of Epstein, his victims and powerful rotten friends like Bill Gates is timeless and captivating.

While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

Here is the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside.

Historia
The events of the past decade have forced us to reckon with who we are and who we want to be. We have been invested in a set of beliefs about our American identity: our exceptionalism, the inevitable rightness of our path, and the promise that hard work and determination will carry us to freedom. But in Stakes Is High, Mychal Denzel Smith confronts the shortcomings of these stories - and with the American Dream itself - and calls on us to live up to the principles we profess but fail to realize.

Historia
A man seeks to prove himself as a hero. A monster seeks silence in his territory. A warrior seeks to avenge her murdered son. A dragon ends it all. The familiar elements of the epic poem are seen with a novelist’s eye toward gender, genre, and history - Beowulf has always been a tale of entitlement and encroachment, powerful men seeking to become more powerful, and one woman seeking justice for her child, but this version brings new context to an old story.

Historia
Emma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of clothes and less than $200. The next anybody heard from her, this genteel, farm-reared, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955, atop Maine's Mount Katahdin, she sang the first verse of "America, the Beautiful" and proclaimed, "I said I'll do it, and I've done it."

A missed opportunity
Revisado: 10-01-20
A great story about a grandma who is one of the first persons to hike the Appalachian Trail as America enters the age of highways. But there are many parallel untold stories that could have had a better resonance with Grandma’s story such as the history of domestic abuse or small farms in the states she walks through. Even the outdoors as therapy would have worked.
