5 heures maximum. C'est le délai qui a été donné pour mettre aux enchères un pays, un peuple. Le Groenland. Quatre nations sont en jeu : les USA, la Chine, la Russie et le Danemark. Sous les yeux médusés de milliards de spectateurs, le Premier ministre groenlandais, Frederik Karlsen, donne le départ. Trahison ? Non. Il est menotté à sa chaise. Séquestré loin de tout. Sa femme et sa fille tenues en otage, suspendues à un câble d'acier, au-dessus de la banquise.

For more than 850 years, Notre Dame Cathedral has stood at the heart of Paris—a Gothic masterpiece, a stage for history, and a symbol of resilience that has inspired awe across centuries. From its foundation stone in 1163 to its triumphant reopening after the devastating 2019 fire, this cathedral has witnessed kings and revolutions, processions and protests, literature and legend. It is not only a place of worship but a monument that embodies the very soul of France.

The Maginot Line was a marvel of 1930s engineering. The huge forts, up to eighty meters underground, contained hospitals, modern kitchens, telephone exchanges, and even electric trains. Kilometers of underground galleries led to casements hidden in the terrain, and turrets that rose from the ground to fire upon the enemy. The fortifications were invulnerable to the heaviest artillery and to chemical warfare. Despite this extensive preparation, France fell to Germany in a little under six weeks.

After the calamity of the Great War, there was a desire in Britain for escapist fun - the lights of the Jazz Age, radio comedies and the pictures were a welcome respite from the grim reality of the Great Depression. Yet the storm clouds were gathering, and Britain between the wars was a turbulent, restless place - and where the foundations of the modern nation were laid. Combining cultural, social and political history, A Shellshocked Nation is the next instalment in Alwyn Turner's highly original history of the twentieth century, sketching a portrait of the interwar nation...

Ancient woods are Britain's richest habitats: rare fragments of our landscape that teem with life from soil to canopy. But their story has always been one of interdependence with people. Now, as ever, these woods—including remnants of the primeval 'wildwood'—need the thoughtful intervention of humans to survive.

It was Constantine the Great who first decided that Rome, exposed and vulnerable near the gathering masses of barbarians moving into Germania and Gaul in the early 4th century, was a strategically unsafe base for the empire, and thus expanded the city of New Rome on the Dardanelles straits, creating what eventually became Constantinople.

What happens when faith picks up a sword? From the blood-soaked streets of Jerusalem to the burning of Constantinople, Deus Vult tells the full, unflinching story of the Crusades — the wars that defined medieval Christendom, reshaped the world, and left behind a legacy of violence, myth, and madness. This isn’t your average textbook history. It’s raw, irreverent, and razor-sharp. JJ delivers a fast-paced, brutally clear narrative of how the Crusades actually happened — without the gloss, without the Sunday school edits, and without pretending anyone knew what they were doing.

The crimes of Hitler and the Nazis are well known—from orchestrating the Holocaust to launching the most destructive war in history, their evil deeds shaped the course of the 20th century. Yet some chose to profit off the misery they caused, making themselves extraordinarily wealthy and setting up business dynasties that lasted long after the Nazis themselves were gone.

La Inquisición española fue una mezcla de agencia de espionaje, unidad de asuntos internos y fuerza de orden público que, aunque tuviera como objetivo prioritario la persecución de delitos religiosos, acabó convirtiéndose –y esta es una de las sorpresas mayúsculas de este libro– en un brazo «político» de la monarquía hispánica, realizando una labor de vigilancia global, con intervenciones quirúrgicas.

Anne Frank, it has been said, gave a face and a name to the horror of the Holocaust. This is her story. It relates how Anne, her family, and their friends hid in secret rooms - "the Annex" - in an Amsterdam warehouse for 25 months. Anne, just 13 when the family moved in and only 15 when the Gestapo at last broke down the doors of her secret world, found hope where there was only fear and the first blush of love when outside and all around there washed a sea of hate.
