One of France's greatest writers, Voltaire was frequently persecuted for his ideas and as a result, spent time in the famed Bastille. He fled his native land for England in 1726, at which time he witnessed the differences between the two countries. His celebrated Letters on England was first published in that nation in 1733 and contained 24 succinct letters on subjects ranging from religion and politics, to trade, the arts, philosophy, and science.

A tutt’oggi Hitler e il suo carisma sono circondati da un fascino perverso. In questa nuova biografia politica, Hans-Ulrich Thamer riassume in modo pregnante lo stato della ricerca concentrandosi in particolare sul rapporto tra messinscena e potere, e tra consenso e violenza. L’autore – tra i maggiori esperti del nazionalsocialismo – mostra in modo chiaro e comprensibile come Hitler abbia reagito abilmente alle aspettative della società tedesca facendo diventare il culto del Führer la base stessa della sua politica.

The 17th-century battlefield ushered in a new era, with formed musketeers and pistol-wielding cavalry gradually taking over from the knights and men-at-arms that had dominated the European battlefield.

This is the story of one of the greatest eras in the history of England's greatest club through the eyes of the players who made it happen. Not just the big wins, the cup finals and the trophy parades, but the half-time rows, the mad pranks, the boozy nights out and the training ground bust-ups. Andy Mitten has tracked down eleven of the stars from those Premier League and Champions League winning teams to open the door to both the dressing room and boardroom at Old Trafford as the club emerged as the dominant force in English football.

No one present at the Battle of Cape Lopez off the coast of West Africa in 1722 could have known that they were on the edge of history. This obscure yet fierce naval battle would have a monumental impact on British colonies and the future of slavery in America.

Eine Darstellung der untergehenden Weimarer Republik, wie es sie seit langem nicht gegeben hat. In einem packenden Panorama schildert Jens Bisky, gedankensprühend und geschichtensatt, die Jahre, in denen sich das Schicksal Deutschlands entschied. Als im Oktober 1929 Gustav Stresemann, der erfolgreiche Außenminister, starb, fragten sich die Zeitgenossen, wie es nun mit der Republik weitergeht. Gerade formierte sich eine faschistische Koalition, die 1933 dann an die Macht kam; Bauern warfen Bomben, die öffentlichen Haushalte litten unter wachsenden Defiziten, bald schien das parlamentarische System gelähmt.

The word ‘Independence’ is, quite frankly, a very common word today – celebrated, venerated, and metaphorically worn as a badge by every citizen of a democracy, such as the United States. And it has a deep association with the word ‘Freedom.’ For any American today, these two form the basis of their fundamental rights – you were born with them, and you will die with them. But have you ever thought about the weight that these two words carry? Or the toll they left in their wake within the bloodied pages of the history of the United States?

Prefazione di Liliana Segre. "Domani spariranno i testimoni e io racconterò a chi non può credere, che tutto ciò è successo. A noi spetta memoria. Sarà per sempre il nostro Kaddish". "Noi figli dei sopravvissuti alle camere a gas di Birkenau non siamo normali. Lo sa bene la mia amata moglie e lo sanno i miei figli, e forse le mogli di tutti i figli della Shoah e i loro amati figli. Come prima le nostre madri o padri. Noi non abbiamo ascoltato solo parole dolci e tenere dai nostri padri, non solo favole ci è capitato di ascoltare, ma il silenzio impastato di lacrime e urla".

This iconoclastic study was one of the most widely debated books of 2000. Finkelstein indicts with vigor and honesty those who exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust for their own personal political and financial gain. This new edition includes updated material discussing the initial reception to the book's publication. In a controversial new study, Norman G. Finkelstein moves from an interrogation of the place the Holocaust has come to occupy in American culture to a disturbing examination of recent Holocaust compensation agreements.
