"Ma vie" est l'autobiographie du révolutionnaire russe Léon Trotsky, écrite durant son exil et publiée en 1929. "Je ne puis nier que ma vie n'a pas été des plus ordinaires. Mais il faut en chercher les causes plutôt dans les circonstances de l'époque qu'en moi-même. Bien entendu, il fallait aussi qu'il existât certains traits personnels pour que j'aie rempli la tâche, bonne ou mauvaise, que j'ai remplie."

Plutarch’s Lives remains one of the world’s most profoundly influential literary works. Written at the beginning of the second century, it forms a brilliant social history of the ancient world. His “parallel lives” were originally presented in a series of books that gave an account of one Greek and one Roman life, followed by a comparison of the two. Volume 1 compares Theseus and Romulus, Alcibiades and Coriolanus, and Aristides and Marcus Cato, among others.

Léon Blum (1872-1950) a exercé sur le socialisme français un magistère qui ne se limite pas à ses brèves expériences de gouvernement. La première d'entre elles, qui fait suite à la victoire du Front populaire, garde soixante-dix ans après la force symbolique d'un grand mythe républicain. Serge Berstein dresse de Léon Blum un portrait équitable et nuancé, à cent lieues de l'histoire partisane qui sévit encore souvent à droite certes mais aussi à gauche.

Master of the Senate carries Lyndon Johnson's story through one of its most remarkable periods: his 12 years, from 1949 to 1960, in the United States Senate. Once the most august and revered body in politics, by the time Johnson arrived the Senate had become a parody of itself and an obstacle that for decades had blocked desperately needed liberal legislation. Caro shows how Johnson's brilliance, charm, and ruthlessness enabled him to become the youngest and most powerful Majority Leader in history.

Se cumplen cinco siglos de la Conquista de México, y a lo largo de este tiempo Hernán Cortés ha desempeñado un claro papel en el imaginario colectivo de la nación: el de villano. Sin embargo, para Christian Duverger esta apreciación no podría ser más injusta. Lejos del ambicioso y sanguinario invasor que los libros de texto han urdido, el historiador francés presenta en esta biografía en dos tomos a un humanista, un hombre de armas y de letras que vio en las tierras americanas la posibilidad, no de trasplantar una copia de la sociedad castellana, sino de inventar un mundo nuevo. Para Cortés, el mestizaje era la clave de este proyecto cultural.
