Dalih Pembunuhan Massal – Gerakan 30 September dan Kudeta Soeharto

Penulis: John Roosa

Bagi Sejarahwan yang ingin memahami perjalanan sejarah Indonesia odern, hal yang terkadang menimbulkan rasa frustasi ialah justeru karena kejadian yang paling misterius ternyata merupakan salah satu babak kejadian yang terpenting. Sebagaimana ungkapan “Kebenaran tentang perebutan kekuasaan tidak boleh dibikin jelas; pada mulanya ia terjadi tanpa alas an tapi kemudian menjadi masuk akal. Kita harus memastikan bahwa kebenaran itu dianggap sah dan abadi; adapun asal-muasalnya sendiri harus disembunyikan, jika kita tidak ingin kebenaran itu cepat berakhir”. Lalu apa sesungguhnya yang terjadi pada tanggal 30 September 1965?. [download]

Agatha Christie – An Autobiography

Agatha Christie – An Autobiography

By: Agatha Christie 

Agatha Christie began to write this book in April 1950; she finished it some fifteen years later when she was 75 years old. Any book written over so long a period must contain certain repetitions and inconsistencies and these have been tidied up. Nothing of importance has been omitted, however: substantially, this is the autobiography as she would have wished it to appear. She ended it when she was 75 because, as she put it, 'it seems the right moment to stop. Because, as far as life is concerned, that is all there is to say.' The last ten years of her life saw some notable triumphs-the film of Murder on the Orient Express; the continued phenomenal run of The Mousetrap. [download]

The Appeal

The Appeal

By: John Grisham 

Politics has always been a dirty game. Now justice is, too.

In a crowded courtroom in Mississipi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town's water supply, causing the worst “cancer cluster”in history. The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it. Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the case is ultimately decided? The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. [download]

The Brethren

The Brethren

By: John Grisham 

For the weekly docket the court jester jester wore his standard garb of well-used and deeply faded maroon pajamas and lavender terry-cloth shower shoes with no socks. He wasn't the only inmate who went about his daily business in his pajamas, but no one else dared wear lavender shoes. His name was T Karl, and he'd once owned banks in Boston. The pajamas and shoes weren't nearly as troubling as the wig. It parted at the middle and rolled in layers downward, over his ears, with tight curls coiling off into three directions, and fell heavily onto his shoulders. It was a bright gray, almost white, and fashioned after the Old English magistrate's wigs from centuries earlier. A friend on the outside had found it at a secondhand costume store in Manhattan, in the Village. [download]

Christ The Lord – Out of Egypt

Christ The Lord – Out of Egypt

By: Anne Rice 

I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD. What do you know when you're seven years old? All my life, or so I thought, we'd been in the city of Alexandria, in the Street of the Carpenters, with the other Galileans, and sooner or later we were going home. Late afternoon. We were playing, my gang against his, and when he ran at me again, bully that he was, bigger than me, and catching me off balance, I felt the power go out of me as I shouted: "You'll never get where you're going." He fell down white in the sandy earth, and they all crowded around him. The sun was hot and my chest was heaving as I looked at him. He was so limp. In the snap of two fingers everyone drew back. It seemed the whole street went quiet except for the carpenters' hammers. I'd never heard such a quiet. "He's dead!" Little Joses said. And then they all took it up. "He's dead, he's dead, he's dead." I knew it was true. [download]

Sang Pujaan

Sang Pujaan

Penulis: Kahlil Gibran

Wahai teman sebayaku, jika engkau mengingat awal masa mudamu dengan kegembiraan dan menyesalinya karena

ia telah berlalu. Namun aku mengingatnya seperti seorang narapidana yang dipanggil kembali oleh jeruji dan belenggu penjaranya. Engkau menganggap tahun-tahun antara masa kecil

dan masa muda sebagai masa kejayaan yang bebas dari kurungan dan kesusahan. Namun aku menyebut tahun-tahun tersebut sebagai kesunyian yang menyedihkan yang jatuh seperti benih yang masuk dan tumbuh di hatiku dan tidak dapat menemukan jalan keluar menuju dunia pengetahuan dan kebijaksanaan. Sampai akhirnya cinta hadir dan membuka pintu hatiku dan menyinari sudutsudutnya. Cinta memberiku sebuah lidah dan air mata. [download]
