One Summer: America, 1927, is the new book by Britain’s favourite writer of narrative nonfiction, Bill Bryson. Narrated by the man himself, One Summer takes you to the summer when America came of age, took centre stage, and changed the world forever. In the summer of 1927, America had a booming stock market, a president who worked just four hours a day, a semi-crazed sculptor with a plan to carve four giant heads into a mountain called Rushmore, a devastating flood of the Mississippi, a sensational murder trial, and a youthful aviator named Charles Lindbergh who started the summer wholly unknown, and finished it as the most famous man on Earth.

One of the classic volumes of autobiography, My Early Life is a lively and colourful account of a young man's quest for action, adventure and danger. Churchill's schooldays are undistinguished, but he is admitted to Sandhurst and embarks on a career as a soldier and a war correspondent, seeing action in Cuba, in India, in the Sudan - where he took part in the battle of Omdurman, of which he gives us a stirring account - and finally in South Africa.

Four days before Christmas 1943, a badly damaged American bomber struggled to fly over wartime Germany. At its controls was a 21-year-old pilot. Suddenly, a German Messerschmitt fighter pulled up on his tail. Worse, the German pilot was an ace, a man able to destroy the American bomber in the squeeze of a trigger. What happened next would later be called 'the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II.'

Otto Adolf Eichmann, figlio di Karl Adolf e di Maria Schefferling, catturato in un sobborgo di Buenos Aires la sera dell'11 maggio 1960, trasportato in Israele nove giorni dopo e tradotto dinanzi al Tribunale distrettuale di Gerusalemme l'11 aprile 1961, doveva rispondere di 15 imputazioni. Aveva commesso, in concorso con altri, crimini contro il popolo ebraico e numerosi crimini di guerra sotto il regime nazista. L'autrice assiste al dibattimento in aula e negli articoli scritti per il "New Yorker", sviscera i problemi morali, politici e giuridici che stanno dietro il caso Eichmann.

Escribí Las venas para difundir ideas ajenas y experiencias propias que quizás ayuden un poquito, en su realista medida, a despejar los interrogantes que nos persiguen desde siempre: ¿es América Latina una región del mundo condenada a la humillación y a la pobreza? ¿Condenada por quién? ¿Culpa de Dios, culpa de la naturaleza? ¿No será la desgracia un producto de la historia, hecha por los hombres y que por los hombres puede, por lo tanto, ser deshecha?

Here at last is a history of England that is designed to entertain as well as inform and that will delight the armchair traveler, the tourist, or just about anyone interested in history. No people have engendered quite so much acclaim or earned so much censure as the English: extolled as the Athenians of modern times, yet hammered for their self-satisfaction and hypocrisy. But their history has been a spectacular one.

Jamais ils n'en avaient parlé. De quoi ? De ce qui est au centre de la société française, dans tous les domaines : le mépris. Tapie, Pinault, Onfray, Sarkozy, Hidalgo, Luchini et bien d'autres... Tous ont un point commun : à un moment ou à un autre, ils ont été confrontés à cette épreuve dont ils ont fait une force. Avec une liberté de ton à laquelle nous ne sommes pas habitués, ils se sont confiés à Sébastien Le Fol.

At the end of the Civil War the leaders and citizens of the victorious North envisioned the country's future as a free-labor republic, with a homogenous citizenry, both Black and White. The South and West were to be reconstructed in the image of the North. Thirty years later Americans occupied an unimagined world. The unity that the Civil War supposedly secured had proved ephemeral. The country was larger, richer, and more extensive but also more diverse.

Anne Frank is the most well-known victim of the Holocaust.

A sobering tale, Anne Frank's story is one that will continue to inspire for decades to come.

Fearless and funny, Pisani shares her deck space with pigs and cows, bunks down in a sulfurous volcano, and takes tea with a corpse. Along the way, she observes Big Men with child brides, debates corruption and cannibalism, and ponders "sticky" traditions that cannot be erased.
