Nel 1936 scoppia in Spagna la Guerra civile. Orwell arriva a Barcellona con l'intenzione di scrivere reportage per i lettori inglesi, ma la situazione è talmente esaltante che decide di unirsi ai combattimenti. Sul fronte può contare solo su un fucile del 1896. In compenso lo sostiene uno straordinario amore per le persone e le idee per cui sta combattendo. Omaggio alla Catalogna è il diario di quei mesi che Orwell scrisse appena tornato in Inghilterra.

John C. Calhoun is among the most notorious and enigmatic figures in American political history. First elected to Congress in 1810, Calhoun went on to serve as secretary of war and vice president. But he is perhaps most known for arguing in favor of slavery as a "positive good" and for his famous doctrine of "state interposition", which laid the groundwork for the South to secede from the Union - and arguably set the nation on course for civil war. The strain of radical politics he developed has found expression once again in the tactics and extremism of the modern Far Right.

But from this life, Austen drew inspiration for six novels that all rank as literary masterpieces, including the widely beloved Pride and Prejudice. So, what do we really know about Austen’s life and influences?

Alone and pregnant, she was following in the footsteps of more than a century’s worth of lost souls. Shunned by society for her sins and offered no comfort for her pain, Bridget gave birth to a boy, John, who died at the home in a horrendous state of neglect less than two years later. Her second child was once again delivered into the care of the nuns and was taken from her, never to be seen or heard from again.
