Imagine being thousands of miles away while your family and friends are brutally and methodically slaughtered. Imagine being entrusted by your parents with the mission of leaving everything you know and finding some way to survive, in the name of your family and your people.

The photo is mounted on cream card with the name of the studio stamped at the bottom in Chinese characters. The place and date on the back: Hong Kong, 1935. Teresa would often look at this photograph, enticed by the fierceness and beauty of her great-aunt Fanny looking back at her. But Fanny never seemed to feature in the told and retold family stories.

Eppure sono tempi difficili per una donna all'università: Maria non può neanche raggiungere il dipartimento di Anatomia senza essere accompagnata da un uomo. Nonostante questo, tra pregiudizi e umiliazioni, Maria riesce a studiare e ben presto inizia a lavorare come assistente in due ospedali romani.

    Metternich has a reputation as the epitome of reactionary conservatism. Historians treat him as the archenemy of progress, a ruthless aristocrat who used his power as the dominant European statesman of the first half of the nineteenth century to stifle liberalism, suppress national independence, and oppose the dreams of social change that inspired the revolutionaries of 1848. Wolfram Siemann paints a fundamentally new image of the man who shaped Europe for over four decades. He reveals Metternich as more modern and his career much more forward-looking than we have ever recognized.

    Richard Carr’s Charlie Chaplin places politics at the centre of the filmmaker’s life as it looks beyond Chaplin’s role as a comedic figure to his constant political engagement both on and off the screen. Drawing from a wealth of archival sources from across the globe, Carr provides an in-depth examination of Chaplin’s life as he made his way from Lambeth to Los Angeles. From his experiences in the workhouse to his controversial romantic relationships and his connections with some of the leading political figures of his day, this book sheds new light on Chaplin’s private life.

    "Saddam" er en bog om magt. Om hvordan den erobres, hvordan den fastholdes, og også om, hvordan den mistes igen. Bogen fortæller historien om personen Saddam Hussein og hans vej fra det lerklinede barndomshjem i Tikrit-området til en position som Iraks enevældige hersker for til sidst at blive styrtet af USA. Men den er også en tidløs beskrivelse af diktaturets væsen i sin mest ekstreme form.

Pakkerne have ligget urørte som en del af de kongelige danske arkiver, siden højesteretsdommer Henrik Stampe i 1772 forseglede dem - kort efter den brutale henrettelse af Johann Friedrich Struensee.

Von ihm blieb nur ein Name auf einer Liste, neben dem durchgestrichenen Namen Jerzy Zweigs, der durch Bruno Apitz' Roman "Nackt unter Wölfen" weltberühmt wurde. Über Willy Blum und seine Familie wusste man bislang nichts. Annette Leo hat sich auf die Suche gemacht und erzählt die Geschichte der Familie Blum und zugleich auch die Geschichte des Verschweigens einer Opfergruppe in der Nachkriegszeit: die der Sinti und Roma.

    Niels Stensen (1638-1686) er en af de mest betydningsfulde danske naturvidenskabsmænd gennem historien. Gennem 350 år har han fascineret og inspireret både fagfolk og lægfolk i ind- og udland. I løbet af et enkelt årti, 1660’erne, gjorde han en lang række epokegørende opdagelser indenfor anatomi, geologi og krystallografi. Kaster Jesper Brandt Andersen lys over Niels Stensens naturvidenskabelige indsats, baggrunden for hans enestående karriere og årsagerne til hans konversion til katolicismen, som fik ham til at vende sig fra naturvidenskaben.

    Legenden om Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel har været stedfast i verdenshistorien i mere end 60 år. Han var uden tvivl Hitlers mest berømte general og i historien står han som en enestående mand - stærkt motiveret, utroligt intelligent og overlegent dygtig, men ikke fejlfri. Rommel, der kunne være påtrængende, uforudsigelig og arrogant, led også af depression. Han blev født i 1891 i det sydlige Tyskland og sluttede sig til militæret som 18-årig.

    Giovane, ottimista, rivoluzionario. Italo Balbo, il più capace aviatore della sua epoca, verrà abbattuto dalla propria contraerea soltanto pochi giorni dopo l'inizio della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, in quello che passerà alla storia come uno dei peggiori incidenti di fuoco amico. Eppure non tutti credono che si tratti di una fatalità, e forse c'è molto di più da sapere sul "fascista scomodo" che lo stesso Mussolini descriverà come l'unico uomo che sarebbe stato in grado di ucciderlo.
