Story
Alla fine della Grande guerra l'Italia è una nazione provata da disoccupazione e inflazione, in preda alle violenze di opposti estremismi, divisa tra chi sogna futuri rivoluzionari e chi desidera ordine e stabilità. A guidarla c'è una classe dirigente ormai giunta alla fine della propria parabola, convinta che il desiderio di normalizzazione sia più forte della spinta eversiva e perciò sorda alle richieste dei reduci.

Story
La storia di Roma racconta la parabola del più grande impero occidentale con la scrittura affilata che ha negli anni appassionato - e appassiona tutt'ora - i lettori di Indro Montanelli. Abile, la penna dell'autore ripercorre i rivolgimenti culturali e politici della società romana dalle sue origini al crollo dell'impero, unendo alla sempre precisa cronaca degli eventi, ritratti vivaci delle figure che di Roma hanno incarnato la storia.

Story
Quattromila anni di storia in quattrocento pagine, senza ridurli a un arido elenco di date e di nomi. Impossibile? Tutt'altro: in questa "Breve storia d'Italia" Alfio Caruso fonde documentazione e divulgazione, raccontando l'Italia attraverso i personaggi, le mode, i costumi, le invenzioni. I grandi eventi si intrecciano alle minuzie quotidiane, i grandi uomini emergono da piccoli episodi, senza tacere dei loro lati meno onorevoli: il ruolo fondamentale di Nerone per la diffusione del Cristianesimo; la sola volta in cui Leonardo e Michelangelo si sfiorarono.

Story
Sicilia, all'epoca del tramonto borbonico. È di scena una famiglia della più alta aristocrazia, colta nel momento del trapasso del regime, mentre già incalzano i tempi nuovi. Accentrato intorno all'imponente personaggio del principe Fabrizio Salina, il romanzo offre un'immagine del clima di disincanto e di speranze deluse che seguì l'unificazione nazionale.

Alessandro Barbero segue Dante nella sua adolescenza di figlio d'un usuraio che sogna di appartenere al mondo dei nobili e dei letterati; nei corridoi oscuri della politica, dove gli ideali si infrangono davanti alla realtà meschina degli odi di partito e della corruzione dilagante; nei vagabondaggi dell'esiliato che scopre l'incredibile varietà dell'Italia del Trecento, fra metropoli commerciali e corti cavalleresche.

Un classico della divulgazione, un libro che coniuga completezza e semplicità, nel quale lo storico dell'arte Ernst Gombrich è stato in grado di riassumere la favola vera del progresso dell'umanità in poco più di trecento pagine: un'impresa che richiede coraggio e una non trascurabile conoscenza della materia. L'abilità di Gombrich è rivolgersi all'ascoltatore, più o meno giovane, dandogli del tu e mettendosi nei panni del "fratello maggiore".

Publisher's summary
Il trentennio affrontato in questo volume - cruciale non solo per l'Italia, ma per tutta l'Europa - sembra aprirsi nel segno della restaurazione: i moti del 1831 vengono schiacciati, si riaffermano gli equilibri sanciti dai trattati di Vienna, il nostro Paese resta diviso in Stati solo nominalmente autonomi. Eppure, nonostante le forze insurrezionali si mostrino deboli e disunite e il vecchio patriottismo della Carboneria fallisca, quei fermenti dimostrano definitivamente la fragilità del sistema, aprendo la strada agli slanci politici e sociali che costituiscono il culmine del Risorgimento. Gli anni che seguono sono densi di avvenimenti e personaggi indimenticabili: la Giovine Italia di Mazzini, Garibaldi, le "Cinque giornate" di Milano, le annessioni piemontesi, la resistenza borbonica, Cattaneo e Cavour, D'Azeglio e i Savoia, la musica patriottica e appassionata di Verdi.
È senza dubbio uno dei momenti più studiati della storia italiana, sul quale però i giudizi continuano a dividersi. Montanelli ce lo racconta attraverso la pura ricostruzione dei fatti, rispondendo senza partigianeria a domande ancora irrisolte: come si è arrivati all'unificazione? Quali conseguenze ha comportato? Un saggio ormai divenuto classico, che ha proposto uno sguardo diverso sul nostro passato, e quindi sul nostro presente. Perché, come dice l'autore, "l'Italia di oggi è figlia di quella del Risorgimento, ed è quindi in questo periodo che ne vanno cercati i caratteri e le malformazioni".

Story
World War II is the defining conflict of the 20th century, one that created a line in the sands of history dividing the pre-war and post-war eras. In this epoch-defining conflict lies another definitive moment: the invasion of a 50-mile stretch of coast in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. This battle, also known as D-Day, was the pivot point of the war in Europe. Its success led to a nearly yearlong, bloody campaign that saw the liberation of France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands, followed by the final defeat of Hitler’s Third Reich.

In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Story
The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

One of the last cavalry units to ride horses into battle, the Sherwood Rangers were transformed into a “mechanized cavalry” of tanks in 1942. After winning acclaim in the North African campaign, they spearheaded one of the D-Day landings in Normandy and became the first British troops to cross into Germany. Their courage, skill, and tenacity contributed mightily to the surrender of Germany in 1945.

Story
Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains and governed by precursors of today's states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative.
