Story
The dream of capturing and organizing knowledge is as old as history. From the archives of ancient Sumeria and the Library of Alexandria to the Library of Congress and Wikipedia, humanity has wrestled with the problem of harnessing its intellectual output. The timeless quest for wisdom has been as much about information storage and retrieval as creative genius. In Cataloging the World, Alex Wright introduces us to a figure who stands out in the long line of thinkers and idealists who devoted themselves to the task.

Story
Despite his reputation for rash decisions, brutal tactics, and intemperate behavior, Ulysses S. Grant was the only Union general who could win the war for Lincoln. Grant's aggressive strategies, swift movements and uncompromising battlefield attacks were praised in the North, feared in the South, and reviled by many of his own associates and staff. General Grant is, perhaps, one of the most controversial, enigmatic, and misunderstood generals in our nation's history.

Story
If you're Irish American or African American or Eastern European Jewish American, there's a rich literature to give you a sense of your family's arrival-in-America story. Until now, that hasn't been the case for Chinese Americans. From noted historian Mae Ngai, The Lucky Ones uncovers the three-generational saga of the Tape family. It's a sweeping story centered on patriarch Jeu Dips' (Joseph Tapes') self-invention as an immigration broker in post-gold rush San Francisco, and the extraordinary rise it enables.

Story
At the center of The Hooligan's Return is the author himself, always an outcast, on a bleak lifelong journey through Nazism and communism to exile in America. But while Norman Manea's book is in many ways a memoir, it is also a deeply imaginative work, traversing time and place, life and literature, dream and reality, past and present. Autobiographical events merge with historic elements, always connecting the individual with the collective destiny.

Story
En 1519, Hernán Cortés acababa de abandonar Cuba para embarcarse en dirección a México. Cuenta con muy poca información sobre su destino, de tal manera que ni siquiera está seguro de si se halla ante un puñado de islas o un continente entero. Cuando, por fin, toca tierra, se cruza en su camino una mujer de tan solo dieciséis años que, con el tiempo, se convertirá en la clave de la expedición española hacia el corazón de México. Esa joven, de nombre Malintzin, le proporcionará a Cortés las claves para adentrarse en un territorio complejo, violento y maravilloso al frente del cual se encuentra una ciudad de fábula: Tenochtitlan.

Story
Figura indissociável da conquista da América, Hernán Cortez guarda muitas ambiguidades. Representa, ao mesmo tempo, o extermínio de um império indígena vasto e populoso e a origem do povo mestiço que constitui o México. A campanha liderada por Cortez no mundo asteca entraria para a História da cultura ocidental como um dos maiores símbolos do contato entre culturas e o consequente choque de valores de sociedades distintas. E foi a partir desse encontro que um novo mundo, aos poucos, se ergueu e outra sociedade, sincrética, nem europeia e nem indígena, começou a ser formada.

Fu per un ventennio una delle donne piú potenti d’Europa, o per questo almeno passò, circonfusa da un’aura di leggenda che non l’abbandonò mai. Era la figlia del dittatore d’Italia: ne fu sempre consapevole anche se talvolta non a suo agio nel ruolo. Ma alla fine del 1943, Edda Ciano Mussolini era una donna disperata, in fuga, inseguita dai nazisti e aiutata da un passato amante che sarà tra i fondatori della moda Made in Italy.

"Todo el país vibra de indignación ante esos desalmados que quieren, por el fuego y el terror, sumir a la España democrática y popular en un infierno de terror. Pero no pasarán…" Aquel legendario llamamiento por radio del 19 de julio de 1936 convirtió a Dolores Ibárruri, a la sazón diputada del Frente Popular por Asturias, en el símbolo universal de la resistencia republicana frente al fascismo. Mario Amorós ha escrito un relato biográfico riguroso y sobre todo necesario de una de las grandes figuras del movimiento obrero y comunista internacional.

Story
Sulla base di una conoscenza diretta delle fonti e dell'ormai sterminata bibliografia di lingua tedesca e italiana, l'autore traccia un profilo dell'imperatore normanno-svevo Federico II (1194-1250), una delle figure più discusse del Medioevo europeo. Il volume è suddiviso in tre parti: la prima è dedicata alla storia politica di Federico, segnata dalla lotta con il Papato e i Comuni; la seconda si occupa dell'uomo, della sua sfera famigliare, dei suoi interessi filosofici e scientifici, e del suo entourage di cui facevano parte anche studiosi ebraici e arabi; la terza segue la formazione del mito di Federico attraverso i secoli fino ai giorni nostri.

Fernán González, enfrascado en sus pensamientos, se preguntaba por qué le seguían sus hombres.

"Un uomo con un piede nel sogno e uno nella realtà." È il don Giovanni Bosco da cui prende le mosse la storia raccontata in questo libro: al tempo stesso visionario e pragmatico, convinto che anche un religioso abbia il dovere di dare risposte concrete ai problemi sociali. Il suo messaggio semplice quanto rivoluzionario - allegria, studio e pietà: non serve altro - oggi risuona più forte che mai e dalla Torino dell'Ottocento arriva fino alle strade delle nostre città e ai fronti su cui si gioca il diritto al futuro, dalle periferie ai centri di accoglienza delle nuove migrazioni.
