Ballad of the Philanthropist
Ballad of the Philanthropist begins in a place where peace reigned so steadily, it became nearly unbearable for one man sworn to uphold the law. Pomona Road and its adjoining gardens stood as an exemplar of domestic civility—each house adorned with floral perfection, each resident attuned to quiet harmony. Chapels echoed softly on Sunday mornings, not a single public house disrupted the order, and disputes, if any, never rose above whispered discontent. But amid this polished calmness walked B. 13, a…-

Similarly, Adolf Hitler’s later years were marked by…-

Chapter I – Antecedent Events
Chapter I - Antecedent Events begins with a portrait of early 18th-century England, where social reformers were disturbed by the harsh treatment of debtors. James Oglethorpe, deeply moved by the conditions in London’s prisons, spearheaded a vision for a colony that would rehabilitate the poor rather than punish them.
