Story
Rebel Bulldog tells the story of Preston Davidson, a Northerner who fought for the Confederacy, and his family who lived in Indiana and Virginia. It is a story that examines antebellum religion, education, reform, and politics, and how they affected the identity of not just one young man, but of a nation caught up in a civil war. Furthermore, it discusses how a native-born Hoosier reached the decision to fight for the South, and the postwar life of a proud Rebel who tried to remake his life in a very different state and nation than the ones he had left in 1860.

Story
El siglo XIX europeo, un momento de logros artísticos sin precedentes, fue la primera era de la globalización cultural, una época en que las comunicaciones masivas y los viajes en tren de alta velocidad reunieron a Europa, superando las barreras del nacionalismo y facilitando el surgimiento de un verdadero canon europeo de obras artísticas, musicales y literarias. Llegado 1900, se leían los mismos libros, se reproducían las mismas obras artísticas, se representaban las mismas óperas y se interpretaba la misma música en los hogares.

In 1880, an organized mob of the Donnellys' enemies murders four family members and burns their house to the ground. Another sibling is shot to death in a house a short distance away.

The surviving family members seek justice through the local courts but quickly learn that their enemies control the jury and the press.

Story
"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.

Story
The Napoleonic Wars radically altered the old, established European power dynamics, and in 1795, the British, now emerging as the globe’s naval superpower, assumed control of the Cape as part of the spoils of war. In doing so, they recognized the enormous strategic value of the Cape as global shipping routes were developing and expanding. Possession passed back and forth once or twice, but more or less from that point onward, the British established their presence at the Cape, which they held until the unification of South Africa in 1910.

Story
Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution. He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors and, in a joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace, introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding.

En tidig höstdag år 1844 kommer François Rouel och hans följeslagare till Stockholm för att delta i kröningen av kung Oskar I. Efter en händelserik, men inte så trevlig första dag som fransman i Stockholm, skriver han senare: "Inte trodde jag, vid första dagen av min vistelse i huvudstaden, att jag sedermera skulle komma att bli kvar där i omkring ett halvt år." Efter kröningen av kung Oscar I, börjar Rouel en insiktsfull utforskning av stadens sociala liv, högt och lågt, med finurliga jämförelser med sitt hemland.

In 1799, a French Army officer was rebuilding the defenses of a fort on the banks of the Nile when he discovered an ancient stele fragment bearing a decree inscribed in three different scripts. So begins one of the most familiar tales in Egyptology - that of the Rosetta Stone and the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs. This book draws on fresh archival evidence to provide a major new account of how the English polymath Thomas Young and the French philologist Jean-François Champollion vied to be the first to solve the riddle of the Rosetta.
