The Blue Truth

In The Blue Truth, author Erstorm explores the complex nature of love and its crucial role in promoting societal acceptance of same-sex relationships and marriage. The book is structured around interconnected chapters that examine love’s historical perceptions, legislative frameworks for inclusivity, and the emotional bonds that unite individuals, regardless of sexual orientation.

Will Snow Cover the Past?

The book Will Snow Cover the Past? has deep moral meaning. Love cancels hatred and opens the door to forgiveness.

The novel consists of chapters as if they were short stories, connected by the main character—a woman. Very important background makes dramatic events in the contemporary history of Poland.

The hero of the book, a mature woman, meets in a church the German of more or less the same age. For a moment they are mutually fascinated, but they part and go their way. This provokes Wanda, the Polish woman, to a chain of memories: childhood in Warsaw under German occupation (World War II), the Warsaw insurrection, and displacement to a village.

In the book are shown such dramatic events as the murder of Polish officers in the communistic Russian camp in Katyn (World War II), the genocide of the Polish population in Wolyn (by Ukrainian nationalists), the martial law implemented by General Jaruzelski and everyday life in Poland during the Covid pandemic.

Simultaneously the young, contemporary generation is described in a very colored way. Her grandson and a girl from different, discordant political sides fall in love. In spite of poignant history (murders in Ukrainian Volyn), they go together to Maidan in Kyiv (capital of Ukraine) to support the insurrection against President Yanukovych, who opposed plans to join the European Union.

During a meeting with Pope Francis in Krakow (“World Youth Day”), they make friends with young Germans. It happened that their grandfather was searching for the woman he had met in the church. Maybe Wanda, the grandmother of Polish youths, is associated with him?

Will Snow Cover the Past?

Rich with poetic language and emotional insight, each chapter is introduced by a short poem written by the author—a renowned Polish poet—offering a lyrical prelude to the chapter’s themes.

Ibn Khaldun’s Ilmual-Umran Pioneering Paradigm in the World Pyramids of Social Sciences

The author of this book has a sociological imagination that has made him consider the huge world volume of social sciences like several pyramids built through the ages, where Ibn Khaldun inaugurated the building of the first pyramid in his famous book, The Muqaddimah. Ibn Khaldun’s innovative social science work is the outcome of multiple factors, among which are his creative personality that allowed him to perceive and capture the dynamics of latent and manifest features of Muslim societies, particularly in North Africa, which other scholars failed to do.

Furthermore, his scholarly vision had set his path to achieve great success in being the social science pioneer in the entire world. He had a critical view of Arab Muslim historiography: Arab and Muslim historians had pitfalls in their methodology and in the analysis of historical events. In the views of Ibn Khaldun and Thomas Kuhn, their works were hardly credible. Thus, there was a pressing need to solve the Arab Muslim historiography’s crisis. The Muqaddimah’s new sociological perspective, according to both Yves Lacoste and Arnold Toynbee, is an exceptional intellectual piece of work. Professor Dhaouadi believes that The Muqaddimah constitutes a new paradigm to meet that crisis.

In Kuhn’s terms, The Muqaddimah sets the pace for reforming the science of Arab Muslim Historiography by shifting from what Kuhn calls normal science to revolutionary science. Ibn Khaldun’s sociological approach is inclusive (it stresses the influence of both latent and manifest factors in shaping society and individual behaviours); he was unlike Positivist contemporary social scientists, who give prominent role to manifest factors. They are rather exclusive social scientists. One may claim that The Muqaddimah has revolutionized the relation between the disciplines of history and sociology in North Africa and the Arab Muslim world by affirming that ‘good historians must be first of all good sociologists.’

Saving Hampton Grace

Some wounds bleed beneath the skin. Some desires burn in the dark. Hampton Grace has spent her life teetering on the edge of oblivion, drowning in shadows only she can see. In a world where failure feels inevitable, she hides behind ink and paper, pouring her torment into stories no one will ever read. Then there’s Walker—effortlessly charismatic, dangerously perceptive, and haunted in ways he refuses to admit. He sees the cracks in Hampton’s carefully constructed walls and senses the weight of the darkness she carries. And he isn’t afraid to step into it. Drawn into his world of quiet control and whispered surrender, Hampton finds an unexpected solace in his touch—where pain becomes catharsis, trust is given freely, and pleasure and suffering blur into something she never expected to crave. But the deeper she falls, the more the lines between salvation and destruction begin to blur. Walker vowed to pull her from the abyss. But in doing so, he may have tethered himself to it. Raw, provocative, and unflinchingly honest, Saving Hampton Grace is a darkly seductive tale of love, longing, and the demons that refuse to be silenced.

The House Built On A Hill

This is a humorous story about a moose who decides to move in and take over a boy’s house that the boy built where the moose was living.

The humans, realizing what they had done, try to make it right by cleaning up the land and learning to share the territory and all nature with the animals.

The Little Town That Saw It All

It’s a very small town with a population of just under 100, named Crossroads, set in the most northeasterly county in Kansas. It is the late 1940s, and the area’s most successful farmer is hit with a heartrending, life-changing personal tragedy. He turns to God, his preacher, and ultimately a fortune teller for answers. She turns out to be more than a fortune teller.

What follows are unexpected romances, ties to terrorists in Peru, the complexity of small-town politics, the murder of one of the town’s most unpopular citizens, and a series of mysteries, as a town with a utopian view of itself gradually sees that myth explode. It is a gripping, suspenseful, and powerful tale with a completely unexpected ending.

The strange series of events that unfolds in this little burg over a period of about two years calls into question the notion that rural Americans are less likely to commit crimes and are more patriotic, more neighborly, and more likely to adhere to and abide by Christian morals and values, than folks in the cities.

Though its farmers and small-town residents might deny it, Crossroads becomes the little town that saw it all.
