How 7 Went Mad
First published in 1881, “How 7 Went Mad” is a short story by legendary horror writer Bram Stoker. The tale follows Tineboy, a young boy who is having difficulty learning his multiplication tables and those related to the number seven in particular. One day he falls asleep during class and begins to dream of a story his teacher told him about how the number seven went mad. What ensues is a Tineboy's experiences of a world without the number seven and the problems that inevitably arise from losing a number. Abraham "Bram" Stoker (1847 – 1912) was an Irish author most famous for his 1897 Gothic novel “Dracula”. Other notable works by this author include: “Miss Betty” (1898), “The Mystery of the Sea” (1902), and “The Jewel of Seven Stars” (1903). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Os crimes de ódio e intolerância são formas de violência direcionadas a determinadas pessoas e grupos sociais, geralmente minoritários ou vulneráveis, mas que afetam toda a coletividade.

The Road to Armageddon
"In 1864 Paraguayan dictator Francisco Solano López seized the Brazilian steamer, the Marquês de Olinda, initiating what became the most significant war ever fought in South America. By 1866 López's offensive had ended, replaced by a brutal and protracted Allied siege of Paraguay. Whigham's study takes the story of this epic conflict from this point, describing not only key personalities and various military engagements but also explaining how the war shaped society, how men and women mobilized only to suffer on an unimaginable scale. He shows how thousands of Brazilian, Argentine, and Uruguayan soldiers were killed by 1870 and many more left wounded or broken. On their side, the Paraguay...

The Poor in Western Europe in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
First published in 1986, this book examines poverty and changing attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and Italy. It discusses the causes of poverty and the distinctions between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early nineteenth-century Italy as a special study, it uses the exceptionally rich documentary sources from this time to examine such issues as charity, repression, the reasons why families suffered poverty and what strategies they adopted for survival. In this study, Stuart Woolf takes full account of recent work in historical demography and in sociological studies of poverty and the welfare state to produce this original and thoughtful work. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of poverty, class and the welfare state.

When City of God erupted on screens worldwide, it became one of the most critically and commercially successfu...
