In September 2022, twenty-two-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman Mahsa Jina Amini is killed by Iran’s morality police in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely. Outrage triggers nationwide protests. Women rip off their headscarves, setting them afire. Others cut their hair in open defiance. Key industries are brought to a standstill, and once-revered banners of the country’s Supreme Leader are incinerated. It’s the greatest challenge to the Islamic Republic of Iran in its forty-six-year history—not coming from a foreign adversary but from their own freedom-seeking women.

Quando entrambi sono ancora membri del Partito Socialista, prima della Grande Guerra, Mussolini trova già nel futuro segretario un tenace oppositore, senza sapere che, in seguito, proprio lui, soprannominato "tempesta" dai compagni di partito, diventerà un ostacolo insormontabile per la sua sfrenata ambizione. Il loro antagonismo si rinnova un decennio dopo e culmina il 30 maggio 1924, nell'aula della Camera, dove Matteotti denuncia le violenze perpetrate dagli squadristi fascisti durante le ultime elezioni che hanno portato Mussolini alla guida di un governo di coalizione.

Our modern image of the Middle Ages—filled with vivid scenes of chivalric tournaments, epic battles, devastating plagues, revered saints, powerful kings, noble knights, and courtly ladies—was not simply uncovered through objective historical research. Rather, it was largely shaped and even invented in the 20th century. The medieval world did not emerge fully formed from the archives; it had to be imagined, interpreted, and constructed. This is the story of how that vision came to life.

Thomas Cromwell started as a scrappy blacksmith’s son from Putney. Before he became the King’s right-hand man, Cromwell was a soldier, a merchant, and (allegedly) a bit of a dodgy dealer. By the time Henry VIII noticed him, he’d already survived Italy, bankruptcy, and at least one attempt on his life. Somehow, he ended up masterminding the greatest religious upheaval England had ever seen.
