Story0
For all the talk of the Civil War "pitting brother against brother", until now there has never been a single book that traces the story of one family ravaged by that conflict. And no family could better illustrate the personal toll the war took than Lincoln's own. Mary Todd Lincoln was one of 14 siblings who were split between the Confederacy and the Union. Three of her brothers fought, and two died, for the South.

Story0
The Underground Railroad was the passage to freedom for many slaves, but it was rife with dangers. There were dedicated conductors and safe houses, but also arduous nights in the mountains and days in threatening towns. For those who made it to Midnight (the code name given to Detroit), the Detroit River became a River Jordan and Canada became their land of Canaan - the Promised Land where they could live freely in black settlements under the protection of British law.

Story0
In seafaring literature, no fictional sailor's story can match this true, real-life adventure. Before the Wind is the memoir of early nineteenth-century sea captain Charles Tyng— from his childhood and love affair with the sea to his rise through the ranks to captain and ship owner in the tea and sugar trade. Before the Wind takes listeners on a trip around the world— from visits to Lord Byron in Italy and King Kamehameha in Hawaii to Napoleon's prison isle of St. Helena.

The incredible story of a flood of near-Biblical proportions - its destruction, its heroes and victims, and how it shaped America’s natural-disaster policies for the next century. The storm began March 23, 1913, with a series of tornadoes that killed 150 people and injured 400. Then the freezing rains started and the flooding began. It was the nation’s most widespread flood ever - more than 700 people died, hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings were destroyed, and millions were left homeless.

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.

Een 28-jarige predikantenzoon uit Leiden: Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje. Als een van de eerste westerlingen dringt hij door tot het grootste heiligdom van de islam, en waagt daarmee zijn leven.

Story0
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.

20 settembre 1870: poco dopo le dieci del mattino, i cannoni dell'artiglieria italiana cessano di tuonare contro le mura di Roma e i bersaglieri del nuovo Regno d'Italia si lanciano all'assalto di Porta Pia, contrastati ancora dal fuoco di fucileria degli ultimi difensori del papa. Da giorni, 60.000 soldati del generale Cadorna sono schierati lungo le vie Salaria, Appia, Aurelia e Tiburtina e stanno convergendo sulla città. Nell'azione cadono pochi uomini, dall'una e dall'altra parte. Pio IX ha infatti ordinato una resistenza solo simbolica e ha già preparato la bandiera bianca.

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.

"I Savoia e il massacro del Sud" ha contribuito a sfatare il mito di una felice unità d'Italia senza vincitori né vinti. I vinti in realtà ci sono stati: ce lo ricordano ogni giorno i telegiornali, che parlano di un Sud Italia perennemente indietro rispetto al Nord e arretrato sotto ogni punto di vista. "I Savoia e il massacro del Sud" è un audiolibro consigliato a chi, stanco di credere nelle favole, desidera analizzare dalle radici le problematiche attuali di uno stato disfunzionale, quello italiano, fondato sull'ingiustizia e l'inuguaglianza sociale.

El siglo XIX se configura como la etapa en la que de forma definitiva España se aleja del grupo de las principales potencias europeas. La severa crisis del Antiguo Régimen que padecerá el país, unida a los interminables vaivenes políticos que tuvo que sufrir hasta la llegada de la Restauración ya en el último cuarto de siglo, provocaron que se pasase a ser una potencia de segunda fila en lo político, lo territorial y por supuesto lo económico.
