In tandem, the IRA’s active service units fought the British Army in the streets and alleys of the Bogside, Creggan, Shantallow and the Waterside.

La Generazione Z, quella dei nati dopo il 1995, è la prima ad aver attraversato la pubertà con in tasca un portale verso una realtà alternativa eccitante, ma pericolosa. È la prima ad aver sperimentato la transizione da un'infanzia fondata sul gioco a un'infanzia fondata sul telefono: i teenager della Gen Z hanno trascorso ore e ore ogni giorno a "scrollare" post, a guardare video proposti da algoritmi programmati per trattenerli online il più a lungo possibile e hanno passato molto meno tempo a giocare, parlare, toccare, esperire il mondo reale.

One of the great literary classics of Western literature, Gulliver's Travels is a powerful satire on mankind, morals, and social habits, written in the form of a Travel in Wonderland.

The most celebrated novel by Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) is a culmination of his active years in politics with the Whigs and then the Tories.

Here, for the first time, is a complete history of the world based on the beliefs and writings of secret societies, researched with the help of an initiate of more than one secret society.

Gulliver's Travels is a classic satire on human nature and a parody of the "travelers' tales" literary genre. Lemuel Gulliver travels to the remote country of Lilliput where he encounters the six-inch-tall Lilliputians. On his next journey, he is captured by a 60-foot-tall native of Brobdingnag.

Set and written in 1726, This is a marvelously imaginative tale of the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver. He finds himself shipwrecked and the prisoner of captors ranging in size from 6 inches tall to 60 feet tall and of various other persuasions. But this is just the beginning of a story written, strangely enough to satirize the foolishness and vices of modern men as they were perceived at the time. No one, young or old, can ever forget the Lilliputians and the Yahoos that starred in these wonderful and riveting stories of long ago.
