La «scalata» di Anna Bolena inizia con un periodo trascorso in Francia, come damigella della regina. Al suo rientro in Inghilterra Anna si era trasformata in una splendida dama di corte, prezioso oggetto di scambio per le ambizioni del padre. Ma neppure lui poteva immaginare quale sarebbe stato il futuro della ragazza che, dopo aver infiammato il cuore del re Enrico VIII, lo sposò nel 1533 e gli diede una figlia, Elisabetta, destinata a diventare la più grande regina della storia inglese.

An unforgettable literary masterpiece written over 200 years ago by a remarkable woman during the struggle and fall of Europe's first attempt at a constitutional democracy. A coming-of-age story, love drama, and historical saga all in one, it unfolds more like a novel than an authentic memoir. Despite its epoch, the highs and lows of Countess Anna's journey reverberate with timeless issues that still affect us all today. This courageous young woman wrote down extraordinarily visceral details of the horrendous experiences she was living through between 1791 and 1795

In 1603 England was on the edge of crisis. Queen Elizabeth I had died, bringing the Tudor line to an end. Enter King James, who reached London after an unprecedented procession from Scotland. James established a new dynasty on the English throne and the first ‘united’ kingdom of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales was born. The Stuarts had arrived. But first, this new ‘Great Britain’ had to play catch up. England was behind, but James’s global ambitions began to shift the tide.

Christian 9.’s historie er en lang og usandsynlig en af slagsen. Født som fattig prins i Tyskland var hans vej til den danske trone ikke på forhånd givet. Han tilhørte en fjern sidelinje i det danske kongehus, men da Frederik 7. døde uden at efterlade sig nogen arvinger, blev kronen tildelt Prins Christian af Glücksborg. Sammen med sin elskede dronning Louise satte Christian 9. eftertrykkelige fodspor i hele Europa ved at gifte sine seks børn ind i de toneangivende kongelige og kejserlige familier.

Was wissen wir eigentlich über Markus Söder? Er ist der bekannteste Unbekannte unter den deutschen Spitzenpolitiker*innen: Markus Söder. Diese erhellende und höchst unterhaltsame wie ungewöhnliche Biographie zeigt den Markus Söder, den wir in der Berichterstattung sonst nicht zu sehen bekommen.

Han pasado casi 150 años de su muerte y todavía se usa una riqueza de apelativos para referirse a Antonio López de Santa Anna, presidente de México en once ocasiones. Hoy, la mayoría de sus compatriotas lo considera el traidor más grande de la historia. No siempre fue así. De hecho, cuando él vivía no hubo político o general más reverenciado, necesario y famoso en México - aunque en intervalos también el más odiado - que el General Santa Anna.

The butcher of the Alamo and Goliad. The traitor who sold half of Mexico. The Napoleon of the West. Mr. Fifteen Nails. The Mother Country's seducer. Almost 150 years after his death, a lot of name-calling is still being directed towards Antonio López de Santa Anna, president of Mexico 11 times in the 19th century, and today, the vast majority of his compatriots consider him the greatest traitor in history.

Their love was both passionate and full of hope, yet ultimately hopeless. This is the true story of the love between a man and a woman — a romance doomed from the start — besieged by media and public opinion on the world stage. The woman was Diana, the Princess of Wales; the man was Captain James Hewitt. Their love affair lasted for nearly five years and is a story of support, encouragement, and love — but alas, one that didn' t result in a fairy tale ending.

Autorka Mahatmy Witkaca dotarła do ostatnich świadków pamiętających jeszcze Witkacego: Oli Watowej, Ireny Krzywickiej, Anny Linke, Wally Pawlikowskiej. Pokazała też tragikomiczne, dopełniające katastroficzne wizje Witkacego, peerelowskie losy jego najbliższych, żyjących w zbydlęconym świecie, w którym on sam odmówił udziału, np. jego żony, Jadwigi Witkiewiczowej, chromej i starej, przepędzonej przez komunistę Polewkę z literackiego kołchozu na Krupniczej w Krakowie oraz samotność i nędzę „demonicznych" niegdyś modelek, wyprzedających jego obrazy w zamian za miejsca w domu starców.

From the military kitchens which cook for soldiers and volunteers, to the chefs who shifted from fine dining to turning out hot meals and loaves of bread for families in need—food has become a central part of Ukraine's war effort. Food is a weapon, a lifeline, a means of survival. It's also a powerful symbol of national identity and memory for the millions of people who've been forced from their homes.
