Combining magic, mysticism, wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, The Alchemist has become a modern classic.

A magisterial portrait of Lady Bird Johnson, and a major reevaluation of the profound yet underappreciated impact the First Lady's political instincts had on LBJ's presidency.

FashionableObserver Have you heard the podcast by the author? So fascinating to actually hear Lady Bird‘s voice. It lead me to this book! Here‘s a link for you, just in case you‘re interested: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-plain-sight-lady-bird-johnson/id1554132... 4y

📚
Twenty years ago in the dead of night, four seemingly random individuals pulled the ultimate heist and almost walked away with half a million dollars. But by daybreak, their plan had been shot to hell. One of them was in the hospital; one was in jail; one was dead. And one got away with it.

In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson shows how Churchill taught the British people "the art of being fearless." It is a story of political brinkmanship, but it's also an intimate domestic drama, set against the backdrop of Churchill's prime-ministerial country home, Chequers; his wartime retreat, Ditchley, where he and his entourage go when the moon is brightest and the bombing threat is highest; and of course 10 Downing Street in London.

Buechersuechtling Got this as a Christmas present last year. I remember having been fascinated and that I loved being remembered how much rights women in the meantime have successfully contented for. Yes, there‘s still a way to go – but after that one I felt humble, thankful for so many things I before had taken for granted. 5y
