I ragazzi di Regalpetra racconta la lunga guerra di mafia che agli inizi degli anni Novanta insanguinò una parte della Sicilia.

Willkommen im Regency, dem Übergang vom 18. ins 19. Jahrhundert! Ian Mortimer nimmt uns mit in diese kuriose Zeit, die für viele schlichtweg für Übermaß steht. Zwischen der leicht langweilig anmutenden Eleganz des 18. Jahrhunderts und der prüden moralischen Überlegenheit der Frühviktorianer wirkt diese Epoche liederlich, grell, gefährlich, schockierend und anstößig – doch dabei höchst unterhaltsam und anziehend. Es ist das Zeitalter von Jane Austen und den Dichtern der Romantik, der Gemälde von John Constable, der eleganten Kleidung von Beau Brummell und der poetischen Freiheit von Lord Byron.

España. Una historia abreviada recorre la dilatada historia de un país que, por su ubicación geográfica en el sureste de Europa, se ha visto y sigue viéndose expuesto a vientos culturales (políticos, pero también meteorológicos) desde todos los puntos cardinales. África se encuentra a tan solo catorce kilómetros hacia el sur, mientras que el Mediterráneo trajo las corrientes civilizatorias de fenicios, romanos, cartagineses y bizantinos, y conecta con las tierras árabes de Oriente Próximo.

In the 1930s, amidst an impending crisis in Europe, Winston Churchill found himself out of government and with little power.

Lawrence, who could strengthen his hand as he worked tirelessly to sound the alarm at the prospect of war.

En un oscuro rincón del mundo del arte, oculto tras la majestuosidad de las pinturas más famosas, se tejió una trama épica que desafiaría los límites de la creatividad y la astucia humana. En 1960, una denuncia por una estafa aparentemente insignificante desencadenó una revelación que dejaría al descubierto un entramado de plagios perfectos de los maestros consagrados: Velázquez, Zurbarán, El Greco, Mengs, Picasso, Ribera y muchos más.

Four days after Germany's surrender in May 1945, a young British officer took a jeep and headed east into Germany. But this was no ordinary soldier. Manfred Gans was searching for his family.

As soon as he could, he signed up to fight, serving in the legendary British 'Three Troop', an elite unit made up of German-speaking refugees, and joining in the D-Day Normandy landings. Working undercover, he obtained vital intelligence, helped liberate occupied France and the Netherlands, and saved countless lives on both sides of the front.

Of course, given its central location, the dynasty also faced numerous challenges, including repeated invasions by the Roman and Parthian empires, internal conflicts, and economic hardships.

Nessun personaggio storico, se si esclude, forse, Adolf Hitler, ha mai goduto di così cattiva stampa come Nerone. Alcuni autori cristiani ritennero che fosse addirittura l’Anticristo. In realtà, Nerone fu un grandissimo uomo di Stato. Durante i quattordici anni del suo regno l’Impero conobbe un periodo di pace, di prosperità, di dinamismo economico e culturale quale non ebbe mai né prima né dopo di lui.

Despite considerable concerns throughout England, the transition of the House of Tudor to the House of Stewart, from Elizabeth to James I (reigned 1603-1625) proved untroubled, not least because the queen left the country in ‘flourishing circumstances'. The new monarch moved to London and, despite being James VI of Scotland, made it his home for the next two decades. Unsurprisingly, his early distribution of honours benefitted more Scots figures than English, and coloured the nature of his English court, though he prudently left most of the main offices in the hands of Elizabeth's ministers.
