By the end of the nineteenth century, India was described as the jewel in the crown of the British Empire, but how did such a small island come to dominate one of the richest lands in the world? Without doubt the toughest opponents to British control was led by the Sikhs. Ranjit Singh, the brilliant "Lion of Punjab" who ruled the Sikh Empire, had revolutionized his army by employing French officers from Napoleon's Grand Army to train his artillery and infantry on the European model.

“THE BOOK THAT DORIAN GRAY LOVED AND THAT INSPIRED OSCAR WILDE”. Such is the enticing epigraph of one early translation of Huysmans’ cult novel of 1884, which is also routinely called the Bible of Decadence. Accurate descriptions, both, of this bizarre masterpiece which has reverberated ever since through high and popular culture.“Against Nature” (or in this version “Against The Grain”) explores to the furthest limit the life of the world-rejecting aesthete living a reclusive existence devoted entirely to artificial paradises of his own devising. This is no solemn tract, however:...

Josep Fontana explica cómo el sistema capitalista es hoy como es y cómo desde el poder se ha favorecido siempre su desarrollo a costa del bienestar social. Un desarrollo que se basó inicialmente en arrebatar la tierra y los recursos naturales a quienes los usaban comunalmente, y en liquidar las reglamentaciones colectivas de los trabajadores de oficio para poder someterlos a nuevas reglas que hicieran posible expropiarlos de una mayor parte del fruto de su trabajo.

Frühling 1848. Scheinbar aus dem Nichts versammelten sich in unzähligen Städten von Palermo bis Paris riesige Menschenmengen, oft in friedlicher, manchmal aber auch in gewalttätiger Absicht. Die politische Ordnung, die seit Napoleons Niederlage in Europa Bestand hatte, brach in sich zusammen. Überall entstanden neue politische Ideen. Es ging um die Rolle der Frau, das Ende der Sklaverei, das Recht auf Arbeit, nationale Unabhängigkeit und die jüdische Emanzipation. Christopher Clark erweckt mit neuen Erkenntnissen die Visionen dieser Epoche und deren Niederschlagung zum Leben.
