The Boy Who Survived the Titanic
**The Night the Sea Turned Silent** – In April 1912, when the grand Titanic set sail, it was called “the ship of dreams.” People from all walks of life stepped aboard, filled with excitement, hope, and the thrill of a new beginning. Among them was a young boy named Jack, barely eight years old, traveling with his mother to start a new life in America. No one knew that this beautiful journey would soon turn into one of the greatest tragedies in history. Jack had been fascinated by the grand staircase, the glittering lights, and the endless ocean. But beneath the excitement was something no one could see — destiny waiting quietly in the cold waters of the Atlantic.

The Saga of the Twin Islands The Echo of the Pink Coral and the Secret of the Wind
The beginning is not a year, but a whisper. A whisper carried by the east wind, murmuring tales between the islands of the Lesser Antilles, places that the gods sprinkled upon the boundless blue. In those times without maps, when the land of Wadadli was young, it vibrated with the life of the Arawak people, who also gave it its name: "Our land." Wadadli had a younger, more modest sister, a flat land of coral, called by the same people simply and with reverence: Wa’omoni, "The land with holy waters." These were to become, through centuries and through blood, Antigua and Barbuda.

the ruler of the Romanian countries vlad tepes
In December 1476, the air cut like an icy scimitar across the frozen plain of Bărăgan. Vlad, the Ruler of Wallachia, known to his enemies as Drăculea, felt his throne as brittle as the ice beneath his horse’s hooves. Though he had regained the throne with the aid of Stephen the Great and Bathory, he knew that peace was only an illusion under the cold, starry sky. The Ottomans were lurking on the Danube, and the Wallachian boyars, always a tangle of snakes ready to strike, had bowed their heads only long enough to see his feet leave the princely court.Vlad was nearing 45, but his steel eyes, etched by years of captivity in Buda and bloody campaigns, retained the intensity of a cornered wolf. He was left with a small army of loyal Moldavians, delegated by Stephen, and a few Wallachian faithful. They were too few to withstand a full invasion, but enough for one last battle.

The Forgotten Fields: Part II – Football
Autumn smells like football. Not the polished kind with pyrotechnics and halftime performers, the kind that lives in your bones. The kind where the air bites, the grass is slick, and your breath shows in the huddle.

House and Palestine
After two years, finally, through a still-blurred horizon, I can glimpse my country again. Italy had always been the most pro-Palestinian of European countries. Much depended on the fact that the old Italian Communist Party — which, at the time, was the largest in Western Europe — placed solidarity with oppressed peoples at the center of its vision. Palestine had become something of a flag of international solidarity.

The Titanic’s Sister Ship: The Disaster Nobody Talks About
Everyone knows the story of the Titanic — the unsinkable ship that sank. But almost no one talks about her older sister, the Britannic, a ship built with the same luxury, the same pride, and the same destiny.
