Fantasi och envishet förde norrmannen Thor Heyerdahl och hans besättning tvärs över Stilla havet på en segelflotte, trots alla experters varningar om att äventyrarna skulle sluta på havets botten. En rejäl dos envishet driver även nyzeeländaren Edmund Hillary och sherpan Tenzing Norgay uppför Mount Everest, där den sista klättringen till toppen är en livsfarlig balansgång längs en knivskarp bergskam.

The civil war raged for more than two years, leaving millions dead and many millions more displaced.

While the world watched the uprising on the Maidan as an episode in geopolitics, those in Ukraine lived the revolution as an existential transformation: the blurring of night and day, the loss of a sense of time, the sudden disappearance of fear, the imperative to make choices. In this lyrical and intimate book, Marci Shore evokes the human face of the Ukrainian Revolution. Grounded in the true stories of activists and soldiers, parents, and children, Shore's book blends a narrative of suspenseful choices with a historian's reflections on what revolution is and what it means.

Russland kennzeichnet sich auch heute durch eine sehr geschichtsbezogene Denkweise - ganz im Gegensatz zur europäischen Politik. Dieses G/Geschichte Porträt nimmt das bis heute zwiespältige Erbe Peters des Großen in den Blick und stellt spannende aktuelle Bezüge her.
