Thea Sternheim (1883-1971) wird heute zu den bedeutendsten Tagebuchschreiberinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts gezählt. Auf mehr als dreißigtausend Seiten protokollierte sie privates und öffentliches Geschehen von 1903 bis zu ihrem Tod. Als "Exilantin der ersten Stunde" gründete sie 1933 in Paris einen literarischen Salon, in dem führende Mitglieder der deutschen Exil-Literatur zusammentrafen - darunter Joseph Roth, Stefan Zweig, Klaus und Erika Mann, Johannes R. Becher und Herman Kesten. Ihre eigenen schriftstellerischen Werke zeichneten sich durch philosophische Tiefenschichten aus, die Rezensenten begeisterten, auch wenn sie eine größere Leserschaft nicht erreichten. Insbesondere der Roman Sackgassen - dem Ingeborg Bachmann "europäisches Format" bescheinigte - behandelte Themen, die noch heute von brennender Aktualität sind. Dietmar Horst zeichnet auf Basis akribischer Archivrecherchen und profunder Kenntnis des Werks von Thea Sternheim das Bild einer immer unterschätzten, oftmals von ihren Männern betrogenen Frau, die erst heute - und zu Recht - als eine der faszinierendsten Autorinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts entdeckt wird. Zum Autor: Dietmar Horst, geb. 1962 in Zams (Tirol), lebt als promovierter Publizist in Salzburg. Nach seinem Studium arbeitete er als freier Journalist für mehrere Tages- und Wochenzeitungen. Zahlreiche Publikationen.

Deutsch-englische Geschichten und Geschichte aus den Fürstenhäusern des 19. Jahrhunderts. Königin Victoria als Tochter einer deutschen Prinzessin von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld, verheiratet mit einem deutschen Prinzen von Sachsen-Coburg & Gotha, Mutter einer deutschen Kaiserin, Mutter einer Großherzogin von Hessen und bei Rhein und eines Herzogs von Sachsen-Coburg & Gotha, Großmutter einer Darmstädter Prinzessin, die heute in Russland als Heilige verehrt wird, und einer weiteren Darmstädter Prinzessin, die als letzte russische Zarin nach der Russischen Revolution zusammen mit ihrer Familie brutal ermordet wurde. Erzählt wird ferner wie ein Darmstädter Prinz von Battenberg zum Oberkommandierenden der britischen Marine wurde und wie sein Bruder zum Fürsten von Bulgarien wurde, dessen unglückliche Liebe zu einer preußischen Prinzessin von Bismarck vereitelt wurde.Nach den deutsch-englischen Tragödien des 20. Jahrhunderts sind diese alten engen Verbindungen zwischen England und Deutschland leider vielfach in Vergessenheit geraten. Dieses Buch soll sie wiederbeleben. Es geht sehr menschlich zu: Liebe und Hass, Glück und Enttäuschung, tragische Todesfälle und eigenartige Zufälle füllen die Seiten.Der Autor legt viel Wert auf deutsche und englische Originalquellen aus der damaligen Zeit; der Leser soll aus erster Hand, sozusagen, erfahren, was die Protagonisten und die zeitgenössischen Beobachter selbst zu berichten hatten. Alle englischsprachigen Texte, aus Briefen, Memoiren, Zeitungen und zeitgenössischen Biografien, sind vom Autor übersetzt worden und durch deutsche Quellen aus der damaligen Zeit ergänzt. In den umfangreichen Fußnoten finden sich auch die englischsprachigen Originalquellen.

La "Historia de Juana de Arco", que ahora presentamos a nuestros lectores, en una traducción de Denise Villas Bôas, es una obra psicográfica, dictada por el "Pucelle d'Orlans" a Ermance Dufaux, una niña que entonces tenía 14 años. años y que, por sus dotes morales y mediúmnicas, colaboró con Allan Kardec en la preparación de la 2ª edición de "El Libro de los Espíritus", Ermance fue un médium del espíritu de San Luis que tanto ayudó al maestro Kardec en la gran obra de Codificación.La trayectoria de Juana de Arco en suelo francés es mundialmente conocida. Su obstinada valentía, su devoción ilimitada a los espíritus que se le aparecieron y que la guiaron en sus acciones en esta encarnación, su inmenso amor por Francia, aliado a su sencillez, su pureza, su buen sentido y la nobleza de su carácter, la hicieron la heroína incomparable desde el siglo XV.En "La Historia de Juana de Arco" vemos la lucha de dos fuerzas: la del bien, personificada en el ideal puro de "Pucelle" - tan pura como ella misma - y la del mal, representada por el falso ideal de justicia de sus pseudos jueces, digo pseudos porque su objetivo no era juzgar, sino condenar a muerte a Juana, como en realidad lo hicieron, apoyados en el abandono al que Juana fue relegada por Charles VII, a quien ella había hecho ley de la corona de Francia, en el abandono y la iniquidad de los propios franceses, quienes así se convirtieron en perfectos cómplices de los agentes de su muerte.Juana fue beatificada en 1909, por gestos iniciados en 1890 por el Papa León XIII, y canonizada en 1920.

In these pages Ion Idriess has brought together stories gathered and lived in his happy battling years in the wild lands of Australia's Far North and the islands beyond. Stories of gold and pearls, of land and cattle, of the search for wealth in dangerous and lonely places. Stories of unnamed men and women, white and brown and black, of primitive passions unleashed far beyond the curb of law and order, of bravery and hope and grim determination, of the strange powers of the mind, of human comedy and tragedy. Together they picture a life of colour and adventure that with the development of the continent is rapidly passing away.

'Absolutely gripping, deeply authoritative, hugely important and lethally lurid'Simon Sebag Montefiore, Sunday Times bestselling author of The World: A Family HistoryYevgeny Prigozhin emerged as one of the most dangerous warlords in the world and as one of Vladimir Putin's chief rivals in Russia's tumultuous political climate, exiled after leading Wagner's attempted coup and killed in a mysterious plane crash. But what is the truth about this enigmatic figure, his role in the war with Ukraine, and the chaos unleashed across Russia by his turn against Putin? And, in the aftermath of his death, what is next for Russia in the new stage of late Putinism that Prigozhin's life forged?Drawing on years of research, this book traces the rise of Russia's most prominent non-state actor and examines the political climate that propelled a convicted gangster with no government office to the formidable role he came to occupy. An essential story of Russia's recent history, Downfall is also a compelling insight into its likely future.

This book offers a first-person perspective on the institution of slavery in America, providing powerful, engaging interviews from the WPA slave narrative collection that enable readers to gain a true sense of the experience of enslavement.Today's students understandably have a hard time imagining what life for slaves more than 150 years ago was like. The best way to communicate what slaves experienced is to hear their words directly. The material in this concise single-volume work illuminates the lives of the last living generation of enslaved people in the United States-former slaves who were interviewed about their experiences in the 1930s. Based on more than 2,000 interviews, the transcriptions of these priceless interviews offer primary sources that tell a diverse and powerful picture of life under slavery.The book explores seven key topics-childhood, marriage, women, work, emancipation, runaways, and family. Through the examination of these subject areas, the interviews reveal the harsh realities of being a slave, such as how slave women were at the complete mercy of the men who operated the places where they lived, how nearly every enslaved person suffered a beating at some point in their lives, how enslaved families commonly lost relatives through sale, and how enslaved children were taken from their parents to care for the children of slaveholders. The thematic organizational format allows readers to easily access numerous excerpts about a specific topic quickly and enables comparisons between individuals in different locations or with different slaveholders to identify the commonalities and unique characteristics within the system of slavery.
