A great deal has been written about the history of the Native American people of North America and particularly about their experiences, since the arrival of white settlers. However, there is another people whose history mirrors the experience of many Native American tribes, but who have become almost completely forgotten: the Sami, Europe’s only indigenous people.

This is the Marathi translation of The Diary of a Young Girl - a compilation of diary writings of Anne Frank, a girl who had to resort to hiding along with her family because of the Nazi occupation. This book has received widespread publicity and is one of the most famous literatures of the Nazi era. This book has been translated in more than 60 languages and has received critical acclamation. Anne Frank died of typhus in a concentration camp and her diary was successfully retrieved by Miep Gies, who handed it to Anne’s father, the lone survivor from the family.

Estate 1944. Lungo la Linea gotica si consuma la parte più feroce della guerra in Italia, una serie di eccidi orribili per mano dei nazifascisti. A San Terenzo Monti, paese di poche centinaia di abitanti tra Liguria, Emilia e Toscana, vengono uccise senza pietà 159 persone, in prevalenza donne e bambini, l’esecuzione accompagnata dal suono di un organetto.

Could you successfully be a Georgian? Find yourself immersed in the pivotal world of Georgian England, exciting times to live in. Everything was booming—the Industrial Revolution, the Enlightenment, and the nascent Empire—in an era inhabited by Mary Shelley, the Romantic poets, and their contemporaries. Find everything you need to know in order to survive as a time traveler from today, undetected among the ordinary people: how to dress, behave yourself in public, earn a living, and find somewhere to live.

In the wake of the American and French Revolutions, thousands of men and women took to the roads and waterways on both sides of the Atlantic—refugees in search of their inalienable rights. Although larger nations fortified their borders and circumscribed citizenship, two port cities, German Hamburg and Danish Altona, opened their doors, as did the federated Swiss cantons and the newly independent Belgian monarchy. The refugees thrived and the societies that harbored them prospered.

That Jesus of Nazareth was crucified is the closest to a historical fact anyone can say about him. Biblical scholars have spent centuries debating the details of what Jesus did and said, but this crude fact—that Jesus suffered capital punishment at the hands of the Roman authority by crucifixion—is accepted by the overwhelming majority of scholars. That there once was a cross where Jesus suffered and died is, therefore, the sequential logical affirmation.

Napoleon Bonaparte's ascent to power was meteoric. Ever the outsider and regarded by many as an upstart, his extraordinary determination, courage, and tactical skill saw him rise from ordinary beginnings to become the greatest military commander of his age. A brigadier general by the age of 24, crowned Emperor of France by age 35, he had conquered most of the countries of Europe by the time he was 45.

From autumn 2018 to spring 2019, British journalist Stephen Powell traveled the length of Portugal, following a zigzag path of nearly 1,500 kilometers on foot. Away from the mass tourism, he wanted to form his own unhurried impressions of this very distinctive country. He discovered a very mixed reality. The dark side was the blight of rural exodus that is emptying so many villages. But he also found a profoundly generous, warm-hearted people with time to converse—a gift that is not found everywhere.

In un’epoca di crescente oppressione politica, la voce di Thoreau risuona con la forza dell’urgenza. Questa edizione unica riunisce due delle sue opere più seminali sulla disobbedienza civile: “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience” e “A Plea for Captain John Brown”. Entrambe illuminano la visione di Thoreau su come la responsabilità individuale può sconfiggere l’ingiustizia del potere.

In June 1862, Dostoevsky left St. Petersburg on his first excursion to Western Europe. Ostensibly making the trip to consult Western specialists about his epilepsy, he also wished to see the source of the Western ideas he believed were corrupting Russia. Over the course of his journey he visited a number of major cities, including Berlin, Paris, London, Florence, Milan, and Vienna. His impressions on what he saw, Winter Notes on Summer Impressions, were first published in the February 1863 issue of "Vremya" (Time), the periodical he edited, and are collected here.

Can you imagine how the world would be different today if there had been no Enlightenment era? The Age of Enlightenment, which lasted throughout the 18th century, brought about fundamental changes in people’s thinking and transformed the entire fabric of society. Even ordinary people began to question their entrenched beliefs and dogmas. They wanted education, justice, freedom, and progress. They struggled to eliminate despotic rulers and desired to be governed by democratically elected representatives.

The British constitution is regarded as unique among the constitutions of the world. What are the main characteristics of Britain's peculiar constitutional arrangements? How has the British constitution altered in response to the changing nature of its state—from England, to Britain, to the United Kingdom? What impact has the UK's developing relations with the European Union caused? These are some of the questions that Martin Loughlin addresses in this Very Short Introduction.

In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military “super-highways” to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches.

Am 7. Dezember 2022 rückten mehr als 3 000 Polizisten zur wohl größten Anti-Terror-Razzia in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik aus. Sie verhafteten die Rädelsführer einer Gruppe aus dem Reichsbürgermilieu, die einen gewaltsamen Umsturz der Regierung geplant hatte. Wer aber sind diese Reichsbürger, die die Bundesrepublik Deutschland nicht als legitimen Staat anerkennen, von einer BRD GmbH fabulieren und sich immer noch im Deutschen Reich wähnen?

Die Bronzestatue einer abgemagerten, in Lumpen gehüllten Frau, die sich mit hohlem Blick an ihre wenigen Habseligkeiten klammert, bildet zusammen mit fünf weiteren lebensgroßen Figuren das "Famine Memorial" (Hungerdenkmal) nahe dem Stadtzentrum Dublins. Das 1997 errichtete Mahnmal erinnert an eine Zeit, die den Iren bis heute präsent ist: die Hungerkatastrophe von 1845 bis 1849, die geschätzt einer Million Menschen das Leben kostete und das Verhältnis zu England wohl endgültig zerrüttete. Denn die Regierung in London sah dem Massensterben ihrer irischen Staatsangehörigen weitgehend untätig zu.

Historische Aufnahmen: So wie es damals wirklich war: Eine faszinierende Reise durch die „gute, alte Zeit“ - historische Tondokumente vom Kaiser Franz Joseph und den Thronfolgern, von der Wachablöse am Burgtor und dem Kaiserlied, von den Lieblingssängern des Kaisers: Alexander Moissi, Leo Slezak, Alfred Grünfeld und Alexander Girardi.

HG-76 sailed from Gibraltar to Britain in December 1941 and was specially targeted by the Germans. A wolfpack of U-boats was sent against it, and the Luftwaffe was heavily committed too in a rare example of German inter-service cooperation. German intelligence agents in Gibraltar and Spain also knew every detail of HG-76 before it had even sailed, seemingly stacking the odds in favour of the Kriegsmarine. Despite this the convoy fought its way through.

Normal Women is a radical retelling of our nation’s story – not of the rise and fall of kings and the occasional queen – but of social and cultural change, powered by the determination, persistence and effectiveness of women – from 1066 to modern times. Did women really do nothing to shape England’s culture and traditions in nine centuries of turmoil, plague, famine, religious reform and the rise of empire and industry? 

En el imperio de Juan Carlos I, que abarca desde Panamá hasta Suiza pasando por los países árabes del golfo Pérsico, nunca se pone el sol ni, lo que es más importante, se acaba la liquidez. King Corp. sigue los pasos del dinero, como mandan los cánones del periodismo de investigación, sin olvidarse de recrear la atmósfera corrupta de una época y un país.

Der Raub des sächsischen Staatsschatzes aus dem Grünen Gewölbe in Dresden hält Deutschland seit Jahren in Atem. In der Nacht zum 25. November 2019 verschafften sich sechs schwarz gekleidete Männer Zutritt zu den Räumen des Dresdner Schlosses, schlugen mit Äxten auf die Vitrinen ein und entwendeten Schmuck im Versicherungswert von über hundert Millionen Euro. Die beiden SPIEGEL-Bestseller-Autoren Thomas Heise und Claas Meyer-Heuer sind wie gewohnt hautnah dran am Geschehen.
