Эта книга рассказывает о том, о чем обычно молчат исторические источники, — о частной жизни людей эпохи Средневековья и раннего Нового времени, об их личных переживаниях, о супружеской любви и об изменах, о неразделенных чувствах, о дружбе, обидах, попытках решить семейные проблемы самостоятельно или прибегая к помощи официальных инстанций. Героями историй, собранных здесь, стали самые простые обыватели, о которых почти никогда не упоминалось в хрониках, в теологических сочинениях, дидактических трактатах или художественных произведениях.

Shots Heard Round the World is a bold, comprehensive rendering of the world war that erupted out of America’s battle for independence. Ferling highlights underestimated pivotal moments to reveal why the British should have put down the rebellion within a couple years of fighting. As European rivals France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic entered the fray, Britain’s problems grew, but after seven long years, the war’s outcome remained very much in doubt.

Now capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, Berlin rose from insignificant origins on swampy soil, becoming a city of immigrants over the ages. Through a series of ten vignettes, Mary Fulbrook discusses the periods and regimes that shaped its character—whether Prussian militarism; courtly culture and enlightenment; rapid industrialization and expansion; ambitious imperialism; experiments with democracy; or repressive dictatorships of both right and left, dramatically evidenced in the violence of World War and genocide, and then in the Wall dividing Cold War Berlin.

Nur wenige haben nicht von den furchterregenden Wikingern und ihren waghalsigen Abenteuern gehört. Diese nördlichen Seefahrer, das Schrecken des Mittelalters, prägten die Weltgeschichte auf beeindruckende Weise. Mutig, trotzig und getrieben vom Wunsch nach Entdeckung waren die Nordmänner die gefürchtetsten aller mittelalterlichen Eroberer. Viele hielten sie für unbesiegbar, und sie hielten viele christliche Nationen in ihrem Griff. Von Schottland, England, Frankreich und Irland bis zu den Küsten Spaniens und der Ostsee hinterließen die Wikinger unauslöschliche Spuren.

"... mein Mythos (radikalisiert) im Grunde nur die Idee des Zimzum, diesen kosmogonischen Zentralbegriff, der Lurianischen Kabbala. Zimzum bedeutet Kontraktion, Rückzug, Selbsteinschränkung. Um Raum zu machen für die Welt, mußte der En-Ssof des Anfangs, der Unendliche, sich in sich selbst zusammenziehen und so außer sich die Leere, das Nichts entstehen lassen, in dem und aus dem er die Welt schaffen konnte. (…) Nachdem er sich ganz in die werdende Welt hineingab, hat Gott nichts mehr zu geben: jetzt ist es am Menschen, ihm zu geben.

"Преданная революция" — одно из самых известных произведений Троцкого, сам автор даже называл эту книгу "главным делом в своей жизни". Написанная во время вынужденного затворничества в Норвегии книга посвящена анализу советского политического режима и прогнозу его дальнейшего развития. Не стесняясь формулировок, Троцкий в яростной и категоричной манере сводит счеты со своим главным противником И. В. Сталиным и утверждает, что "свинцовый зад бюрократии перевесил голову революции", превратив страну в "деформированное рабочее государство".

From New York Times reporter and Pulitzer finalist Ali Watkins, this true-crime saga is the long-buried story of how a group of Philadelphia gunrunners armed the IRA at the height of the Troubles. A ragtag band of carpenters, family men and fugitives, the Philadelphia Five, as they came to be known, banded together, bolstering the fight for a united Ireland but fuelling the Troubles at an untold cost.

Liverpool is a unique city within the United Kingdom—in terms of its dialect, hedonism, friendliness, rejection of 'Englishness', and most pertinently, its politics. It is bastion of working-class left-wing politics like no other—as evidenced by the suspension of a Liverpool FC match after the death of the Queen, for fear the Liverpool fans would boo the minute's silence. Yet it was not always so, and Liverpool's transformation from a stronghold of working-class Toryism to its current identity is a remarkable remaking.

In the early morning of 9 April 1940 a fleet of German ships entered the Oslofjord. The Norwegian artillery delayed the German advance long enough for King Haakon VII and his cabinet to escape to England, but there was no stopping the Nazi blitzkrieg. Norway stood on the cusp of a traumatic five-year occupation whose aftershocks would continue to trouble its national consciousness long after the defeated Germans departed in May 1945. In a magnificent feat of storytelling, Robert Ferguson tells the extraordinary – and relatively little-known – story of the occupation and its judicial aftermath.

Throughout the 20th century, the infamous 'Crippen murder' was told in such a way as to cast doubt on Crippen's guilt and to victim-blame his wife Cora, a music hall actress, for her own murder. It also astonishingly depicted Crippen's younger mistress Ethel as innocent of any involvement in the killing of her love rival. Not so, says Rubenhold. In fact, Ethel got away with murder, and the same Edwardian beliefs about women that demonised his wife also blinded society to Ethel's guilt.

Ci sono buchi in Sardegna che sono case di fate, morti che sono colpa di donne vampiro, fumi sacri che curano i cattivi sogni e acque segrete dove la luna specchiandosi rivela il futuro e i suoi inganni. Ci sono statue di antichi guerrieri alti come nessun sardo è stato mai, truci culti di santi che i papi si sono scordati di canonizzare, porte di pietra che si aprono su mondi ormai scomparsi, e mari di grano lontani dal mare, costellati di menhir contro i quali le promesse spose strusciano impudicamente il ventre nel segreto della notte, vegliate da madri e nonne.

"Sono qui per rispondere alle grandi domande sulla mitologia greca che ti affliggono, sin da quando hai visto il celeberrimo classico Disney Hercules che non ha mezza cosa giusta, come scopriremo. E le domande sono: Filottete è esistito sul serio? Ha allenato veramente tutti gli Eroi del Muori? Aveva la voce di Magalli? Sì, no, forse. Questo libro sarà tutto così, anche meglio, mi sto solo scaldando. Dai, non te ne andare ti prego, ho detto che sarà megliooo. Chi sono questi Eroi del Muori, allora? Gli dèi dici? Che problemi hai!? Gli dèi non hanno niente di Muori, al limite la infliggono.

In molti scritti sulla Resistenza sono indicati come autori di attacchi ai tedeschi o vittime dei loro rastrellamenti "i partigiani", senza altra specificazione. Ma in gran parte dei casi si trattò di partigiani comunisti, la cui connotazione politica in seguito è rimasta spesso sotto traccia. Nel dopoguerra fu il loro stesso partito a inglobarli nella sua visione della guerra di Liberazione come "guerra di popolo" combattuta da un ampio fronte antifascista quasi indifferenziato.

The book outlines “the activities of Nazi agents in the United States, Mexico, and Central America” in the late 1930s. “During the past five years,” Spivak writes, “I have observed some of them, watching the original, crudely organized and directed propaganda machine develop, grow and leave an influence far wider than most people seem to realize.” First aimed at domestic propaganda, these activities extended to probing U.S. military secrets and attempting to damage U.S. relations to its neighbors to the south.
