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.

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.

The Boy Generals: George Custer, Wesley Merritt, and the Cavalry of the Army of the Potomac is the first installment in a remarkable trilogy to examine the strategy, tactics, and relationships of the leading Union army’s mounted arm and their influence on the course of the Civil War in the Eastern Theater. George Armstrong Custer’s career has attracted its fair share of coverage, but most Custer-related studies focus on his decision-making and actions to the exclusion of other important factors, including his relationships with his fellow officers.

"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.

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.

Story0
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.

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.

In 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak unveiled the Apple I, the first-ever computer that operated on a single-circuit board, just five years after a team of IBM engineers introduced the “floppy disk,” which revolutionized data-sharing.

Long called by some the “Andersonville of the North”, the prisoner of war camp in Elmira, New York, is remembered as the most notorious of all Union-run POW camps. It existed for only a year - from the summer of 1864 to July 1865 - but in that time, and for long after, it became darkly emblematic of man’s inhumanity to man. Confederate prisoners called it “Hellmira”. Derek Maxfield contextualizes the rise of prison camps during the Civil War, explores the failed exchange of prisoners, and tells the tale of the creation and evolution of the prison camp in Elmira.

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.

George Gordon Meade could hardly believe it: only three days earlier, he had been thrust unexpectedly into command of the Army of the Potomac, which was cautiously stalking its long-time foe, the Army of Northern Virginia, as it launched a bold invasion northward. Meade had hardly wrapped his head around the situation before everything exploded. Outside the small college town of Gettysburg, Confederates had inexplicably turned on the lead elements of Meade’s army and attacked.
