Four thousand years ago, three brothers grow up in a land that is now Britain. One becomes a warrior, ruthless in his pursuit of gold and power. One is a mystic who sees visions of the future and hears the gods speak to him. Between them stands Sagan, the gentle brother who will dedicate his life to building a temple he hopes will bring health and peace to the land.

Renowned French philosopher, journalist, and filmmaker Bernard-Henri Levy speaks with The New Yorker's Adam Gopnik about the often-fraught relationship between France and its Jewish population, and between America and France because of the situation between France and its Jews.

Militarized police officers with tanks and drones. Pervasive government surveillance and profiling. Social media that distract and track us. All of these, contends Bernard E. Harcourt, are facets of a new and radical governing paradigm in the United States - one rooted in the modes of warfare originally developed to suppress anticolonial revolutions and, more recently, to prosecute the war on terror. The Counterrevolution is a penetrating and disturbing account of the rise of counterinsurgency, first as a military strategy but increasingly as a way of ruling ordinary Americans.

On 16 March 1807, the British Parliament passed The Abolition of the Slave Trade Act. In the following year the Royal Navy's African Squadron was formed, its mission to stop and search ships at sea suspected of carrying slaves from Africa to the Americas and the Middle East. With typical thoroughness, the Royal Navy went further, and took the fight to the enemy, sailing boldly up uncharted rivers and creeks to attack the barracoons where the slaves were assembled ready for shipment.

Den 18. juni 1815 stod Wellingtons britisk-hollandske hær over for Napoleons hær i en stille dal syd for Bruxelles. Dagen igennem angreb franskmændene igen og igen Wellingtons styrker, der desperat håbede på, at den preussiske hær snart ville komme dem til undsætning på slagmarken. Denne bog er historien om slaget ved Waterloo, der afsluttede Napoleonskrigene, og de mindre slag ved Quatre-Bras og Ligny to dage før.

Cuando Bernardo Gutiérrez pisó la Amazonia brasileña, supo que ya había amado aquellos colores, aquellos ríos. De niño había pasado dos años en Caracas y guardaba tenues imágenes de indígenas, aguas negras y hormigas gigantes. Fue corrigiendo aquellos recuerdos en su último viaje, desde Manaos hasta la desembocadura del Amazonas. Recorrió una tierra de doble filo, al mismo tiempo cielo e infierno.

Over a remarkable career Bernard Bailyn has reshaped our understanding of the early American past. Illuminating History is the most personal of Bailyn's works. It is in part an intellectual memoir of the significant turns in an immensely productive and influential scholarly career. It is also alive with people whose actions touched the long arc of history: a struggling Boston merchant tormented by the tensions between capitalist avarice and a constrictive Puritan piety; a charismatic German Pietist who founded a cloister in the Pennsylvania wilderness; and more.

In Algeria è finita l'era di Bouteflika, l'ottantaduenne presidente che, dopo aver dominato la politica algerina e ricoperto per 20 anni la carica, si è dimesso dopo settimane di manifestazioni di piazza. Sono state indette nuove elezioni presidenziali per l'estate, ma le proteste non si sono placate e hanno messo nel mirino il sistema di potere incentrato sul clan dell'ex presidente e i militari, che cercano di rimanere al comando del paese.

In this classic account of the French war in Indochina, Bernard B. Fall vividly captures the sights, sounds, and smells of the savage eight-year conflict in the jungles and mountains of Southeast Asia from 1946 to 1954. The French fought well to the last, but even with the lethal advantages of airpower, they could not stave off the Communist-led Vietnamese nationalists, who countered with a hit-and-run campaign of ambushes, booby traps, and nighttime raids. Defeat came at Dien Bien Phu, in 1954, setting the stage for American involvement and opening another tragic chapter in Vietnam's history.

Enunciar un mañana es condenarlo a que no exista o postergarlo a generaciones venideras. Está demasiado lejos. Mañana es una utopía, necesaria para desplazar el horizonte del presente, pero puede que sea siempre inalcanzable. Pasado mañana, en cambio, está a la vuelta de la esquina. Lo tocamos con la punta de los dedos. Es un telescopio que transforma el futuro en presente y que enuncia de forma sólida y propositiva una alternativa para España y para el mundo.

Israël étant né à la suite d'un martyre, celui de la Shoah, toute discussion politique, historique ou sociologique risque toujours de raviver la souffrance originelle. Israël, c'est aussi la culture juive, celle qui a enfanté la pensée judéo-chrétienne, celle qui a largement participé à l'histoire de la philosophie, et majoritairement inventé l'introspection.

Diciassette mesi nascosti sottoterra: l'avventura di quarantasei ebrei nel diario di un ragazzo che sfuggì ai nazisti. Nei primi mesi del 1943 l'ombra della liquidazione incombeva sul ghetto di Drohobycz, una cittadina polacca ai piedi dei Carpazi. Gli ebrei scampati a due anni di occupazione nazista sapevano di essere condannati e cercarono di nascondersi in attesa dell'Armata rossa. Alcuni di loro, raccolti attorno alle famiglie Mayer e Schwartz, spesero le ultime risorse per costruire un bunker sotto una villa.
