In 1894, a remarkably self-possessed American woman, with no formal education to speak of, stood before a British court seeking damages for libel from the trustees of the British Museum. It was yet another stop along the unpredictable route that was Victoria Woodhull’s life. Born dirt-poor in an obscure Ohio settlement, Woodhull was the daughter of an illiterate mother entranced by the fad of Mesmerism—a therapeutic pseudoscience—and a swindler father whose cons exploited his two daughters.

Augustine of Hippo (354–430), also known as Saint Augustine, was one of the most influential theologians in history. His writings, including the autobiographical Confessions and The City of God, helped shape the foundations of Christianity and Western philosophy. But for many centuries, Augustine's North African birth and Berber heritage have been simply dismissed.

History remembers her as the gracious wife standing beside Lyndon B. Johnson, but Lady Bird Johnson was much more than just the period of time that she spent at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the White House. Born in the piney woods of East Texas to a wealthy but troubled family, Lady Bird overcame tragedy to become one of the most accomplished women of her generation. By age 22, she had earned two college degrees and harbored dreams of becoming a globe-trotting journalist.

Septimius Severus was Rome's black emperor. Born in the blistering heat of a North African spring in Leptis Magna AD 145, he died in the freezing cold of a northern British winter in York in AD 211. A giant of an emperor, whose career can be counted in superlatives, Severus was in power at the height of Rome's might. He led the largest army to ever campaign in Britain, comprising 50,000 men, part of a Roman military establishment which peaked at 33 legions under his rule. Born into the richest family, in the richest part of the Roman Empire, Severus monumentalised his rule across the empire.

One of Rome's most powerful women, Clodia has been maligned over two thousand years as a promiscuous, husband-murdering harlot―thanks to her starring role in one of Cicero's most famous speeches in the Forum. But Cicero was lying, in defense of his own interests. Like so many women libeled or erased from history, Clodia had a life that was much more interesting, complex, and nuanced than the corrupted version passed down through generations.

In eighteenth-century Britain, Edmund Burke and Charles Fox made common political cause for twenty-five years. They supported the rebellious American colonies, attacked the British slave trade, defended religious liberty, and attempted to shield Britain's public credit from the crisis-prone East India Company. The two men did not share social position, a way of life, a political legacy, or even a generation—but improbably, they were friends.

Personaggio cruciale e misterioso al contempo, uomo di intelligenza, forza e volontà fuori dal comune, Saulo di Tarso, meglio conosciuto come Paolo, fu colui che raccolse l'irripetibile magistero di Gesù di Nazareth e lo canonizzò, forgiando il Cristianesimo per come lo conosciamo oggi. Fine mediatore da un lato, ma decisionista politico dall'altro, Paolo seppe traghettare un'esperienza spirituale in un'istituzione storica giunta più o meno immutata fino ai nostri giorni, assurgendo così a figura fondamentale di tutto il mondo cristiano.

Полная тайн и противоречий, Османская империя простерлась на десятки тысяч километров вдоль границы Востока и Запада. Она оказала колоссальное влияние на историю Европы, будучи совсем на нее не похожа. Сравнимая по масштабу с Римской империей, к концу XVI века она занимала три континента и объединила под своей властью множество языков и народов: ее подданными были албанцы, армяне, греки и многие другие.

Bogen er den første biografi om Olga Eggers' dramatiske skæbne fra elsket forfatterinde til en af landets mest forhadte nazister. Det private og det politiske i hendes liv er forbundet i talrige knuder, og fortællingen udfolder hendes dramatiske og farverige tilværelse. Måske er Eggers' liv knap så uforståeligt, hvis det faktisk forstås historisk, altså i forhold til den tid, hun levede i.

Den anden bog om Helvig Pedersdatter handler om 1800-tallet, den danske guldalder, set gennem en af periodens anonyme skikkelser - en tjenestepige. De store politiske omvæltninger i slutningen af 1840'erne mærkes i Thy kun som svage dønninger, men da Helvigs herskab har stærke tyske rødder, får krigsårene alvorlig indflydelse på livet på hovedgården Øland. Indførelsen af den almindelige værnepligt betyder, at næsten hver eneste gård i Danmark har en søn 'indkaldt til Krigstjeneste', som der står i folketællingen fra 1850.

From his cold childhood and battlefield exploits, to the infamous duel and the treason trial of the century, this is a biography that reads like a thriller — because it is one.

The Death of Rodolfo – The Bicycle Boat. When my father, Rodolfo Loredan Gannon died, there was no obituary. There were no tributes, no headlines, only quiet calls to the few who understood the weight of his absence. For over fifty years, he worked beyond the public eye, trusted by those whose choices shaped careers, countries, and the course of events most people never knew were being decided. His name appeared nowhere, yet his presence was everywhere. This is my account of the man I knew and the world he brought me into, even as I fought him the whole way.

Det er beretningen om den fattige korsikanske patriot, den passionerede kvindeelsker og ivrige brevskriver, der ville være forfatter eller videnskabsmand, men som i den franske revolutions virvar så sin chance og blev sin tids mægtigste kejser. Hvordan var det muligt? Hvad fik ham til for lidt mere end 200 år siden at sætte kejsertronen på sit hoved. Var det storhedsvanvid eller den logiske belønning for alle hans sejre?

In this memoir of his childhood, Harvey recreated the daily struggles of life in postwar rural Ireland and bomb-shattreed London. Ireland, just 30 years removed from 700 years of British domination, had scarcely emerged from the 19th century. London, shrouded in fog and greasy coal soot, was the epicenter of an exhausted debtor nation, still clinging to an image of British exceptionalism as a young Queen Elizabeth took the throne and the empire circled the drain.
