Narodziny przyszłej królowej rozczarowały jej ojca Henryka VIII, który pragnął męskiego potomka i nigdy się nie spodziewał, że jego córka będzie wybitną władczynią. Jej matka Anna Boleyn została stracona na szafocie, a droga samej Elżbiety na tron okazała się wyjątkowo trudna. Doskonale wykształcona, władająca kilkoma językami, zadziwiła niejednego zagranicznego dyplomatę. Charyzmą i intelektem uwodziła dosłownie wszystkich, niezależnie od płci.

On the 14th of August 1941, a Polish monk named Maximilian Maria Kolbe was murdered in Auschwitz. Kolbe's life had been remarkable. Fiercely intelligent and driven, he founded a movement of Catholicism and spent several years in Nagasaki, ministering to the 'hidden Christians' who had emerged after centuries of oppression. A Polish nationalist as well as a monk, he gave sanctuary to fleeing refugees and his death was no less remarkable: he volunteered to die, saving the life of a fellow prisoner. It was an act that profoundly transformed the lives of two Japanese men.

Story
Martin Debes beschreibt anhand von Thüringen, warum die großen Volksparteien an Boden verlieren, das Vertrauen in demokratische Prozesse und staatliche Institutionen schwindet und Politik zu einem Schauplatz von Extremisten und Karrieristen wird. Sein Buch ist die Geschichte eines Landes, das Experimentierfeld extremer politischer Kräfte war und wieder geworden ist.

Story
Who are the English? Today, the dominant story told about our national history solely serves the interests of the right. The only people who dare speak of 'Englishness' are cheerleaders for isolationism and imperial nostalgia. But there is another story, equally compelling, about who we are: about the English people's radical inclusivity, their ancient commitment to the natural world, their long struggle to win rights for all.

Story
Shocking, but laced with wry humour, Vladimir Pereverzin’s extraordinary story is of an ordinary man whose comfortable life is upended. Refusing to give false testimony against Yukos owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky, he is plunged into lengthy, brutal incarceration in Russia’s nightmarish prisons and penal colonies, including some in which political prisoner Alexei Navalny has been held.

Story
Wer den Frieden will, muss den Frieden vorbereiten. Alle reden vom Krieg, vom Frieden reden zu wenige: Die weißen Tauben sind müde. Heribert Prantl begründet, warum wir eine neue Friedensbewegung, eine neue Entspannungspolitik und keinen dritten Weltkrieg brauchen – es wäre der letzte. Und er denkt darüber nach, wie die Zähmung der Gewalt, wie Entfeindung gelingen kann, wie wir Frieden lernen.

Story
Wolfgang Schäuble war eine politische Ausnahmeerscheinung. Nur wenige haben die Bundesrepublik in vergleichbarem Maße geprägt. Die unmittelbar vor seinem Tod fertiggestellten »Erinnerungen« bieten einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Geschichte unseres Landes und in die verborgenen Mechanismen des politischen Betriebs. Sie sind die Bilanz eines politischen Lebens, ein Vermächtnis der Werte und Haltungen, für die Wolfgang Schäuble ein Leben lang stand.
