Adversity Is Temporary is an absorbing, tell-all memoir by Norman Henry, a real-life rags-to-riches survivor. The book provides an up-close view of life on a Guyana sugar plantation and carries readers along on his harrowing journey to success and self-regard. The mixed-race child of an East Indian indentured servant mother and a father born of enslaved Africans in South America, Henry s formative years were an ordeal. He and his mother were victims of discrimination and persecution while also enduring the hardships of abject poverty. Fortunately, his touching and at times brutal story is buoyed by belly laughs.   Determined to somehow earn a living for the family, young Henry worked in the cane fields, as a freelance butcher, and at other jobs, before besting stiff competition to be chosen for the British Guiana Police Force. Henry recounts his hilarious and eye-opening culture-shock at leaving the plantation to live in the big city. He also provides an interesting overview of training and serving on the force before his devastating departure.  Forced to invent himself several times over, Henry went to the United States in search of education and opportunity. His resources and faith were tested in the coming years of sacrifice, peril, joy and triumph. He prevailed through his wavering commitment to hard work and a single-minded quest that cost him dearly while rewarding him handsomely. He d earned advanced degrees, work as a Certified Public Accountant, open his own successful accounting firm and experience both great failure and great gain with real-estate ventures. The boy that once worked the fields in Guyana would grow up to host two of its presidents at his banquet hall in Brooklyn. He d eventually meet the president of the United States, cabinet members and iconic arts and entertainment figures and come to the aid of those less fortunate, both back home and in his adopted land.   Although Henry takes pride and joy in being regarded as a visionary entrepreneur, he looks back past the financial and social success to ponder the path taken and the lessons learned. He hopes to share whatever inspiration and perspective readers can gain from his candor. His story is told in a handsome book complete with full-color, black-and-white and sepia photographs. It is nineteen chapters and 192 pages long with a foreword, introduction and mementos. Adversity Is Temporary has a present-day photo of the author on its glossy, red white and gold cover. There is a vintage photo on the back along with an endorsement from Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

In May 1881, students of Harvard University performed Sophocles' masterpiece, Oedipus Tyrannus, in the original Greek. Witnessed by 6,000 people, this performance was reported far and wide, and has gone down in theatre history as a huge success which excited almost universal enthusiasm. Henry Norman's 1882 book commemorates the performance, providing a record of permanent value for every student of Sophocles. Norman describes the background to the decision to stage the play, and presents key information on Sophocles and the characteristics of Greek tragedy. He then recounts the performance in detail, describing the aspects of the play which made it such a memorable experience, including the music, the setting and the scholarship. The book includes a transcript of the programme and illustrations showing some of the costumes and key moments of the play. It provides a fascinating contemporary account of this landmark in the modern revival of classical Greek theatre.
