The City Of The Red Plague

This book, originally published in English in 1932, covers the Soviet occupation of Latvia during 1919. The attempt of Moscow to set up a foreign Soviet State, extending to every sphere of public and private life is described in detail, with the aim of showing what the methods were which the soviet leaders used to carry through their system to other countries. The Latvian occupation showed what many people in Western Europe were unaware of at the time: namely that the main principle behind the Bolshevist system was brutal force.

A deadly virus was spreading through the city: No one knew anything about it. Several dead bodies could be seen on the street and alleyways. The entire country was on lockdown for several weeks. This was done to curtail the spread of the virus, but it only created another immense problem. Hunger, Homes, and Shops were looted by petty thieves and burglars. Then a strange spaceship arrived on planet Earth. The aliens who suddenly arrived on Earth started to destroy lives and properties. No one was safe.

A Sword and Sorcery story about the redemptive journey of a once cruel king to reclaim his identity.

In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death", Prince Prospero isolates himself and his wealthy guests to avoid a deadly plague. Despite his efforts to escape death, it invades his masked ball, proving that no one can escape fate.

This short book captures Maria Szubert's reminiscences of the Second World War and life under communism in Poland. It offers a revealing snapshot of the terror and some of the hardships she endured during the war and the privations she suffered under communism, which held Poland in its grip until 1989. The book undoubtedly reflects the author's deep humanity and her compassion towards the Nazi invaders when fortune turned them from masters into slaves. Equally poignant is her forbearance in the face of Poland's subsequent subjugation by the communist Soviet Union.
