Book excerpt: “Un estilo directo en que aúna rigor histórico y amenidad, ideal tanto para quienes conocen los entresijos de este dramático episodio de la historia como para los que se acercan por primera vez a él.” (Web Quiero leer) “Os presento Desafiando a Hitler (Tombooktu, 2012), otro atractivo título del nuevo sello de editorial Nowtilus, con un autor, Jesús Hernández, que es todo un experto en divulgación histórica.” (Blog Me gustan los libros) “Un muy interesante libro que nos da una visión de un puñado de personas que dieron, algunos incluso al vida, todo lo que tenían, para salvar a sus países; y, a veces sin saberlo, otras veces siendo muy conscientes de ello al resto de Europa, del nacionalsocialismo.” (Blog Por si acaso: previniendo desastres) Seis historias en donde se muestra la integridad y el valor de hombres, provenientes de distintos estratos sociales, que osaron oponerse al poder omnímodo de Hitler. Parece casi un lugar común pensar que Hitler se hizo con Europa sin problema y sin resistencia, pero nada más lejos de la realidad. Hubo innumerables intentos de acabar con la vida del Führer y de oponerse a su política del terror. Desafiando a Hitler nos presenta seis historias de resistencia que sirven como homenaje a los miles de hombres y mujeres que se jugaron la vida para oponerse a los nazis. Pertenecientes a distintas ideologías, a distintos estratos sociales y con distintas aspiraciones, estos hombres fueron capaces de sufrir torturas y de arriesgar la vida para socavar el omnímodo poder nazi. Jesús Hernázdez vuelve a dar en esta obra una lección de síntesis y de historia divulgativa y nos presenta de un modo accesible a cualquier lector estas historias de resistencia poco tratadas en los libros sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Gregor Elser, un carpintero que, en solitario, atentó contra Hitler; el rey danés Cristian X que se opuso a los soldador nazis en una Dinamarca ocupada; Carl Szokoll miembro de una unidad de élite del ejército austriaco, pero casado con una mujer de origen judío; o Jean Moulin, el héroe de la resistencia francesa, capaz de integrar todas las facciones enfrentadas y de entrevistarse con De Gaulle en el exilio, son algunos de los hombres a quien homenajea este libro. Razones para comprar la obra: - Las historias narradas en esta obra no aparecen a menudo en los libros de historia pero son ejemplos de heroísmo, resistencia e integridad que merecen ser conocidos por el público. - El libro transmite todo el drama y la esperanza de estas historias en un lenguaje accesible a todo el mundo y sin olvidar el respeto absoluto a las fuentes históricas. - Es una obra que descubrirá datos desconocidos a los expertos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y que ofrecerá a los legos seis historias de resistencia que les atraparán de principio a fin. - El autor es un experto en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sus libros de divulgación histórica sobre el tema se encuentran siempre entre los más vendidos. Una obra que, pese a narrar las ejecuciones y las torturas a las que fueron sometidos estos hombres, nos traslada un mensaje de optimismo: el ser humano es extraordinario cuando se enfrenta a retos extraordinarios.

Download or read book Defying Hitler written by Sebastian Haffner and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defying Hitler was written in 1939 and focuses on the year 1933, when, as Hitler assumed power, its author was a 25-year-old German law student, in training to join the German courts as a junior administrator. His book tries to answer two questions people have been asking since the end of World War II: “How were the Nazis possible?” and “Why did no one stop them?” Sebastian Haffner’s vivid first-person account, written in real time and only much later discovered by his son, makes the rise of the Nazis psychologically comprehensible. “An astonishing memoir... [a] masterpiece.” — Gabriel Schoenfeld, The New York Times Book Review “A short, stabbing, brilliant book... It is important, first, as evidence of what one intelligent German knew in the 1930s about the unspeakable nature of Nazism, at a time when the overwhelming majority of his countrymen claim to have know nothing at all. And, second, for its rare capacity to reawaken anger about those who made the Nazis possible.” — Max Hastings, The Sunday Telegraph “Defying Hitler communicates one of the most profound and absolute feelings of exile that any writer has gotten between covers.” — Charles Taylor, Salon “Sebastian Haffner was Germany’s political conscience, but it is only now that we can read how he experienced the Nazi terror himself — that is a memoir of frightening relevance today.” — Heinrich Jaenicke, Stern “The prophetic insights of a fairly young man... help us understand the plight, as Haffner refers to it, of the non-Nazi German.” — The Denver Post “Sebastian Haffner’s Defying Hitler is a most brilliant and imaginative book — one of the most important books we have ever published.” — Lord Weidenfeld
Download or read book Wolf by Wolf written by Ryan Graudin and published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of The Walled City comes a fast-paced and innovative novel that will leave you breathless. Her story begins on a train. The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule. To commemorate their Great Victory, they host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. The prize? An audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor's ball in Tokyo. Yael, a former death camp prisoner, has witnessed too much suffering, and the five wolves tattooed on her arm are a constant reminder of the loved ones she lost. The resistance has given Yael one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year's only female racer, Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele's twin brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's every move. But as Yael grows closer to the other competitors, can she be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and stay true to her mission?

Download or read book The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Klaus Schwab and published by Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.

Download or read book Life With Lacan written by Catherine Millot and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘There was a time when I felt that I had grasped Lacan’s essential being from within – that I had gained, as it were, an apperception of his relation to the world, a mysterious access to that intimate place from which sprang his relation to people and things, and even to himself. It was as if I had slipped within him.’ In this short book, Catherine Millot offers a richly evocative reflection on her life as analysand and lover of the greatest psychoanalyst since Freud. Dwelling on their time together in Paris and in Lacan’s country house in Guitrancourt, as well as describing their many travels, Millot provides unparalleled insights into Lacan’s character as well as his encounters with other major European thinkers of the time. She also sheds new light on key themes, including Lacan’s obsession with the Borromean knot and gradual descent into silence, all enlivened by her unique perspective. This beautifully written memoir, awarded the André Gide Prize for Literature, will be of interest to anyone wishing to understand the life and character of a thinker who continues to exert a wide influence in psychoanalysis and across the humanities and social sciences.
Download or read book Dark Nights of the Soul written by Thomas Moore and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-06-16 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every human life is made up of the light and the dark, the happy and the sad, the vital and the deadening. How you think about this rhythm of moods makes all the difference. Our lives are filled with emotional tunnels: the loss of a loved one or end of a relationship, aging and illness, career disappointments or just an ongoing sense of dissatisfaction with life. Society tends to view these “dark nights” in clinical terms as obstacles to be overcome as quickly as possible. But Moore shows how honoring these periods of fragility as periods of incubation and positive opportunities to delve the soul’s deepest needs can provide healing and a new understanding of life’s meaning. Dark Nights of the Soul presents these metaphoric dark nights not as the enemy, but as times of transition, occasions to restore yourself, and transforming rites of passage, revealing an uplifting and inspiring new outlook on such topics as: • The healing power of melancholy • The sexual dark night and the mysteries of matrimony • Finding solace during illness and in aging • Anxiety, anger, and temporary Insanities • Linking creativity, spirituality, and emotional struggles • Finding meaning and beauty in the darkness

Download or read book Evocative Autoethnography written by Arthur Bochner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive text is the first to introduce evocative autoethnography as a methodology and a way of life in the human sciences. Using numerous examples from their work and others, world-renowned scholars Arthur Bochner and Carolyn Ellis, originators of the method, emphasize how to connect intellectually and emotionally to the lives of readers throughout the challenging process of representing lived experiences. Written as the story of a fictional workshop, based on many similar sessions led by the authors, it incorporates group discussions, common questions, and workshop handouts. The book: describes the history, development, and purposes of evocative storytelling; provides detailed instruction on becoming a story-writer and living a writing life; examines fundamental ethical issues, dilemmas, and responsibilities; illustrates ways ethnography intersects with autoethnography; calls attention to how truth and memory figure into the works and lives of evocative autoethnographers.
