József Debreczeni, a prolific Hungarian language journalist and poet, arrived in Auschwitz in 1944; had he been selected to go 'left', his life expectancy would have been approximately forty-five minutes. One of the 'lucky' ones, he was sent to the 'right', which led to twelve horrifying months of incarceration and slave labour in a series of camps, ending in the 'Cold Crematorium' - the so-called hospital of the forced labour camp Dörnhau, where prisoners too weak to work were left to die. Debreczeni beat the odds and survived.

Undeterred by eight years of timid US sanctions, Vladimir Putin ordered his full-scale assault on Ukraine on February 24, 2022. In the hours that followed across the world, Western leaders weaponised economic tools to counter an unprecedented land grab by a nuclear-armed power.

The Middle East today is characterized by an astonishingly bloody civil war in Syria, a highly racialized and militarized approach to the concept of a Jewish state in Israel and the Palestinian territories, an Iraqi state paralyzed by the emergence of class- and region-inflected sectarian identifications, a Lebanon teetering on the edge of collapse from the pressures of its huge numbers of refugees and its sect-bound political system, and the rise of a wide variety of Islamist paramilitary organizations seeking to operate outside all these states.

В творі (значною мірою автобіографічному) йдеться про трагічну долю сім'ї сільського коваля Якова Чумака, зокрема, його наймолодшого сина Андрія, про те, як люди зберігали гідність на межі буття і смерті. Сад Гетсиманський — один з перших творів у світовій літературі, в якому з позиції учасника подій викрито злочини сталінського режиму. Дія твору розгортається в Харкові, у в'язницях на Раднаркомівській та Холодній горі. Всі імена та прізвища в'язнів і співробітників НКВС в цій книзі правдиві.

It has been eleven years since Diane Foley’s son, the American journalist James Foley, was kidnapped in northern Syria, and nearly ten since that day in August 2014 when she would learn that he had been murdered by ISIS in a public beheading that would ricochet in video around the world. A whole decade. Time rushes past. And yet, for Diane, that moment is unending. In American Mother, legendary author Colum McCann tells Diane’s story as she recalls the months of his captivity, the efforts made to bring him home and the days following his death.

Ci sono vite che per loro natura sono fatte di percorsi imprevedibili, di sconfitte dolorose a cui seguono vittorie sorprendenti, di inattese battute d’arresto e di ripartenze costanti. La forma di queste vite, costellate di colpi di scena, le rende simili a romanzi appassionanti e indimenticabili. Ed è così la vita di Anna Prouse. Cresciuta in una buona famiglia milanese, da una madre feroce e un padre gentile, ha sedici anni ed è felice solo sul campo da tennis, dove le viene pronosticato un futuro da campionessa.
