Impératrice d'Autriche-Hongrie, la monarchie la plus autoritaire et la plus compassée qui fût en Europe, elle haïssait l'Etiquette et se disait démocrate; Bavaroise d'origine et autrichienne par son mariage avec François-Joseph, elle n'aimait que la Hongrie; censée animer la Cour et rehausser l'éclat de Vienne, elle vivait le plus souvent à la campagne ou dans de lointains séjours méditerranéens.

Story0
Sex workers in 19th-century Melbourne were judged morally corrupt by the respectable world around them. But theirs was a thriving trade, with links to the police and political leaders of the day, and the leading brothels were usually managed by women. While today a popular bar and a city lane are famously named after Madame Brussels, the identities of the other ‘flash madams’, the ‘dressed girls’ who worked for them and the hundreds of women who solicited on the streets of the Little Lon district of Melbourne are not remembered.

The Napoleonic Wars saw fighting on an unprecedented scale in Europe and the Americas. It took the wealth of the British Empire, combined with the might of the continental armies, almost two decades to bring down one of the world's greatest military leaders and the empire that he had created. Napoleon's ultimate defeat was to determine the history of Europe for almost 100 years. From the frozen wastelands of Russia, through the brutal fighting in the Peninsula to the blood-soaked battlefield of Waterloo, this book tells the story of the dramatic rise and fall of the Napoleonic Empire.

"Wie Europas Länder sich erfanden" - der Satz liest sich komisch, oder? Warum sollten sich Länder denn erfinden müssen? Es gibt sie doch einfach... Eben nicht! Genau das ist der Mythos, dem ich mit diesem Hörbuch die Klauen ziehen will. Die europäischen Länder von heute sind nämlich weder alt noch natürlich. Sie sind ein Produkt des Nationalismus im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert. Davor waren Staaten nichts anderes als die mehr oder weniger zufälligen Besitzungen irgendwelcher Adeliger.

Dal 1861 a oggi, lo Stato italiano ha imbastito una narrativa distorta per alimentare il mito di una felice unità d'Italia. I libri di storia ufficiali sono tutt'oggi pregni di una retorica risorgimentale che, come stucco, basta grattare via per rivelare la bruttezza di un "Risorgimento" fatto di violenza e ingiustizia contro le moltitudini meridionali. "Il Sud borbonico e le verità nascoste" contribuisce a sfatare questo mito attraverso un metodo analitico-deduttivo che ha prodotto risultati sorprendenti.

Thorstein Veblen (1857-1929) was an American economist and sociologist. His most famous work, The Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study of Institutions (1899), is a treatise on economics and a social critique of consumption and of consumerism, based on the social stratification of people and the division of labor. This work is in the tradition of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations and is rightly considered a classic of economic theory and social history.

Just after Christmas 1803, convict William Buckley fled an embryonic settlement in the land of the Kulin nation (now the Port Phillip area), to take his chances in the wilderness. A few months later, the local Aboriginal people found the six-foot-five former soldier near death. Believing he was a lost kinsman returned from the dead, they took him in, and for 32 years Buckley lived as a Wadawurrung man, learning his adopted tribe's language, skills and methods to survive.

Deep down she knew she was only dreaming, knew that whatever feelings she cherished for him could never be fully returned. After all, he was the heir to the biggest clay works in all of Cornwall, and she was but the daughter of one of their workmen. For just as an unexpected passion began to blossom between Morwen Tremayne and Ben Killigrew, the fates seemed determined to stifle its growth. A long, bitter struggle between owner and workforce brought about Charles Killigrew’s sudden illness, and with it Ben’s summons to the head of the family firm.

1816 was a remarkable year - mostly for the fact that there was no summer. As a result of a volcanic eruption at Mount Tambora in Indonesia, weather patterns were disrupted worldwide for months, allowing for excessive rain, frost, and snowfall through much of the Northeastern US and Europe in the summer of 1816.

This remarkable book synthesizes a lifetime of in-depth research into one of America's most storied disasters, the defeat of Custer's 7th Cavalry at the hands of the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians, as well as the complete annihilation of that part of the cavalry led by Custer himself. The author, Gordon Harper, spent countless hours on the battlefield itself as well as researching every iota of evidence of the fight from both sides, white and Indian. He was, thus, able to recreate every step of the battle as authoritatively as anyone could, dispelling myths and falsehoods along the way.

15 settembre 1864: a tre anni dall'unificazione, la capitale del nuovo Stato fu trasferita da Torino a Firenze. Città provinciale e cosmopolita, Firenze fu vista come una buona mediazione tra le rigidità piemontesi e la sfida che si voleva portare a Roma, ancora saldamente nelle mani del papa. L'evento ebbe un forte peso istituzionale e un significativo impatto simbolico. Anche se per Firenze fu solo una reggenza di pochi anni (fino al 20 settembre 1870, quando capitale d'Italia diventò Roma), gli effetti sulla città furono tutt'altro che lievi.

The Shrigley Abduction is a compelling narrative, a story of deception and the lure of 'high society', with a strong Byronic character at its heart. Wakefield was sentenced to three years in Newgate, an experience which profoundly affected him. Upon his release he founded the New Zealand Company and became principally responsible for the colonisation of that country, where he is now a prominent figure. Ellen, on the other hand, died in childbirth at the age of 19.
