Hailed as the most compelling biography of the German dictator yet written, Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the heart of its subject's immense darkness. From his illegitimate birth in a small Austrian village to his fiery death in a bunker under the Reich chancellery in Berlin, Adolf Hitler left a murky trail, strewn with contradictory tales and overgrown with self-created myths. One truth prevails: the sheer scale of the evils that he unleashed on the world has made him a demonic figure without equal in the 20th century.

A partire dalla metà del Cinquecento, una marea di argento proveniente dalle colonie americane, soprattutto Messico e Perù, prese a riversarsi sulla Spagna e poi sull'Europa. Il metallo prezioso viaggiò incessantemente da Occidente verso Oriente in pagamento delle merci orientali appetite dagli europei, le quali compivano l'itinerario inverso. Dalla Turchia alla Persia, all'India, alla lontana Cina, fu una rozza e pesante moneta d'argento, il "real de a ocho", a far funzionare il sistema di questo commercio su scala mondiale.

A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were - and still are.

Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business.
