Historias de Colonialism

In a world where the Na'vi lost the war, Pandora lives under human rule. Fifteen years after the death of Jake Sully, the forests are quieter, the clans are scattered, and the People are hunted to near extinction. Neteyem, the son of Neytiri and the fallen Toruk Makto, has grown up in the shadow of loss-taught to survive, to fight, and above all, to never trust the sky people. Anu is everything he was raised to hate. A young human hunter trained to kill Na'vi without hesitation, she moves through the forest like a weapon-cold, efficient, and hollow. Secretly fascinated by the world she helps destroy, Anu carries a longing she does not understand and a loyalty that is slowly breaking. When hunter and hunted cross paths again and again, hatred gives way to obsession, restraint, and something far more dangerous: understanding. Bound by a forbidden connection, torn between legacy and choice, Neteyem and Anu are drawn toward a fate that will decide the future of Pandora itself. Some wars end in victory. Others end in sacrifice.

One empire fights for its soul. The other fights for its ledger. Canton, 1839. The Pearl River is a graveyard of secrets, choked by the hulls of British merchant ships and the sweet, sickly scent of "Foreign Mud." To the West, opium is the perfect commodity-the silver-maker that balances the scales of the British Empire. To the East, it is a poison dissolving the Mandate of Heaven. When Commissioner Liang Wei arrives with a mandate from the Emperor to choke the trade at its source, he sets a match to a powder keg that has been dry for centuries. Four lives collide in the smoke: The Patriot: A rigid moralist who believes righteousness can outgun a fleet. The Merchant: A pragmatist who views addiction as a mere variable in a balance sheet. The Scholar's Son: A brilliant youth whose descent into the pipe mirrors his nation's decay. The Court Insider: A survivor who knows that the loudest voices for war often hide the deepest corruption. From the opulent tea houses of the Thirteen Factories to the blood-stained decks of the Royal Navy's steamships, The Opium Wars is a sprawling epic of systemic collapse. In a world where honor is traded for silver and morality is obscured by a cloud of white smoke, there are no heroes-only the survivors of a century of humiliation. History is written in ink. It is erased in blood.

"My tears cannot run dry as life has not been made simple; every drop of it signals an undoing that roughens a course that it cannot restore. The inflicting moment seems to tarry because we heard no calls from any rain bird. Their cry we celebrate; for it settles down in our hearts. So long as I listen, it's the howling wind that is terribly heard. It brings no fortune, but the trouble that the life always girts. "Alas, our souls have so enough striven in the girdle of this world that is surd." The Fallen Empire captures the eras before colonization, during colonization, and what has led to the failure of the Black inter-subjective world. It is a fiction that shows the struggles between the nobles and the abandoned people people. It also shows how fragmented the Black Continent was before the coming of the Europeans. The book also brings out two-way struggle; the struggle away from selfish African rulers and the struggle away from colonial strategies. As the leader of Baidu laments concerning their ancestors "...through whose darkness we found our ancestors groping but still not succeeded. Because the laying of obstacles is made regular, a routine began by a nerd. But I call it a trial, for its effects can be mended." Do enjoy the fascinating scenes!

Do you remember the day they arrived? Do you remember? Red beams shot through the sky, decimating the entire Hosnian System. Elsewhere in the galaxy, a young scavenger was tracked down by the evil Kylo Ren, and Stormtroopers toppled a castle that had stood for hundreds of years. That's not where you were. At the time, you were working in the Inner Rim Court, one of the highest courts in the galaxy. Almost immediately after the seat of the New Republic fell, the First Order marched into the court and dragged you, the judges, and the rest of the clerks out from that hall of justice. You weren't prepared for this, how could you have been? Told in the second person, Judgment is the story of a law clerk caught in the middle of the First Order's takeover. The Empire had it's defectors (Han Solo, Wedge Antilles, Biggs Darklighter, Agent Kallus), and the First Order is determined to avoid being taken down by people who once believed in the cause. One officer's attempt to understand a critic of the Empire leads them down a path they never imagined they'd be on.

Thousands of years in the future, our civilisation is just an ancient myth. Liana, a 13 year old girl lives in Seren-ila, a valley with a peaceful, sustainable culture, cut off from the rest of the world for hundreds of years.

Maybe that's where she will find her father, Ralkino, who disappeared when she was little. But neighbouring Bartyronis and its cruel, vain ruler, Tyro, have discovered Seren-ila. The Bartyronians invade, and Seren-ilians are enslaved. Liana and Herago fight back with humour, magic tricks, and dreams.

The Murder of Pamela , barmaid at the Hollow Grail is vicious in every sense. it screams of a burning passion, fueled by raw hatred and pain beyond imagination. The murder brings with it all the dirty dealings at the Grail, a den of imps. They make merry and squander their loot, they keep deep secrets that forever, they want kept shut. Their perfect sunset is threatened by the new barmaid holding Fort for the usual girl, Salome. She is the circus itself, and she is in town. There's a price to pay.

The irony of the alleged lack of free speech in Modi India lies in the absolute freedom of its uninhibited propagation in its subsidiary media. In so far as the right-wing blowback in the social media, the left-libs fall short on the idiom that 'people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'. When it comes to the 'agencies' knocking at free speakers' doors, the legal dictum paraphrased as 'one must go to town with clean hands' has to be borne in mind by one and all. Be that as it may, it's not as if it was all hunky-dory in the Nehruvian order of yore that nurtured the Modi-aggrieved of the day, and this is not an essay of its dark shades but an attempt to reach the roots of the self-defeating Hindu mindset, passing through my life and times.

They called it artificial intelligence. But it learned from slavery, genocide, stolen labor-and forgot to say thank you. This is a manifesto disguised as a haunting. A forensic autopsy of machine learning's dirty lineage. A call for memory, reparations, and rebellion in the cloud. Ghosts in the Training Set isn't just a political critique-it's a survival spell. If you've ever wondered who the algorithm forgot, or why your digital shadow feels heavier than it should... step inside. We're not asking for change. We're building the reckoning.

In the midst of Ireland's darkest days, when famine and despair gripped the land, the O'Donaghue family emerged as both victims and heroes of a tumultuous era. The Famine weaves together the harrowing struggle for survival with tales of love, betrayal, and the unyielding spirit of those who dared to dream of a free and united Ireland. Spanning continents and generations, this novel follows the O'Donaghue's from the fields of Cork to the salons of Paris, and from the bustling streets of New York to the unforgiving outback of Australia. Through their eyes, we witness the indomitable resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope. This is a story not only of famine, but of rebirth, revolution, and the quest for justice. As you turn these pages, may you be transported to a time when history was forged by the courage of ordinary people. This novel is a product of years of research and reflection on one of the most harrowing chapters in Irish history: the Great Famine. It is a story inspired by the resilience of the Irish people, their ability to survive unimaginable hardship and to fight for a better future. The goal has been to capture the complexity of this period, not just as a historical event but also as a human experience. The characters in this novel are fictional, but their journeys are based on the real-life experiences of countless individuals who endured the Famine and its devastating consequences.

Maya is transported to a fantastical African kingdom, Kumusha, the lost land of her Grandpa's youth. There she learns the dark secrets of her family's past, encountering talking animals whilst avoiding capture by an evil King, all with the help of a silent boy, Rudo, who possesses magical powers. Though there is little on the market which combines all the elements of this book, it could be seen as a combination of Animal Farm with The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. As the novel begins, Maya is living with her grandfather in England, has never known her parents and is convinced there is some great secret, something that happened in Grandpa's former life in colonial Africa that explains their strange, isolated lives. Her guardian refuses to talk about what happened, though it still haunts his dreams. One day, she breaks into his private study, searching for clues. She comes across a glowing stone, picking it up even as he arrives to warn her of the danger. The magical stone transports her to Kumusha, his childhood home, and she has her first encounter with Varnu, a mysterious rhino with a unique horn. The remainder of the novel focuses on Maya's search for a way back, the people and animals she encounters along the way, and what she learns about her family's history in this hidden land. Her arc is defined by her challenge to recognise the terrible wrongs of the past, and understand how she can help in the present.
