The life of Emperor Charles V (1500-1558), ruler of Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and much of Italy and Central and South America, has long intrigued biographers.

Having found fame and success as a model, Christine's short affair with the minister for war, John Profumo, led to his downfall at the end of Harold Macmillan's Conservative government, and was at the heart of the social and political earthquake that followed.

Terribili eccidi di persone innocenti, sacrificate a trame segrete e oscure ragioni di Stato. Stragi ancora impunite, che hanno avvelenato il clima politico e sociale del nostro Paese e aumentato la sfiducia del popolo italiano verso le istituzioni. Ferdinando Imposimato - giudice da sempre in prima linea, che durante la sua carriera ha indagato su alcune delle pagine più drammatiche della parabola repubblicana - ricostruisce, con documenti inediti e una originale visione d'insieme, i fatti di sangue orditi da terroristi di destra e di sinistra, servizi segreti deviati, bande armate.

Il 9 maggio 1978, il corpo di Aldo Moro fu ritrovato in un'automobile Renault 4 rossa a Roma in via Caetani, strada vicina sia a piazza del Gesù (dov'era la sede nazionale della Democrazia Cristiana), sia a via delle Botteghe Oscure (dove era la sede nazionale del Partito Comunista Italiano). Cinque processi, dal 1983 al 1996, non hanno fatto piena luce sul sequestro Moro. Qui cercheremo di descrivere quello che è successo, ciò che è stato scoperto nel corso degli anni, i fatti emersi durante le indagini. Una ricostruzione per quanto possibile oggettiva, basata soprattutto sull'esame delle carte processuali e sulle relazioni delle principali perizie degli esperti.

When Germany’s Sixth Army advanced to Stalingrad in 1942, its long-extended flanks were mainly held by its allied armies - the Romanians, Hungarians, and Italians. But as history tells us, these flanks quickly caved in before the massive Soviet counter-offensive which commenced that November, dooming the Germans to their first catastrophe of the war. However, the historical record also makes clear that one allied unit held out to the very end, fighting to stem the tide - the Italian Alpine Corps.

The Lost History of Liberalism challenges our most basic assumptions about a political creed that has become a rallying cry - and a term of derision - in today's increasingly divided public square. Taking listeners from ancient Rome to today, Helena Rosenblatt traces the evolution of the words "liberal" and "liberalism", revealing the heated debates that have taken place over their meaning. In this timely and provocative book, Rosenblatt debunks the popular myth of liberalism as a uniquely Anglo-American tradition centered on individual rights.

Historians universally agree that Thucydides was the greatest historian who has ever lived, and that his story of the Peloponnesian conflict is a marvel of forensic science and fine literature. That such a triumph of intellectual accomplishment was created at the end of the fifth century B.C. in Greece is, perhaps, not so surprising, given the number of original geniuses we find in that period. But that such an historical work would also be simultaneously acknowledged as a work of great literature and a penetrating ethical evaluation of humanity is one of the miracles of ancient history.

Few economists or historians write like McCloskey - her ability to invest the facts of economic history with the urgency of a novel, or of a leading case at law, is unmatched. She summarizes modern economics and modern economic history with verve and lucidity yet sees through to the really big scientific conclusion. Not matter, but ideas. Big books don't come any more ambitious or captivating than Bourgeois Equality.

Dealing with war on a giant scale, The Grand Alliance focuses on events as Britain, after fighting a desperate battle alone, was joined in the struggle against the enemy by Soviet Russia and the United Sates.

Some 500 years ago, Sandro Botticelli, a painter of humble origin, created work of unearthly beauty. An intimate associate of Florence’s unofficial rulers, the Medici, he was commissioned by a member of their family to execute a near-impossible project: to illustrate all 100 cantos of The Divine Comedy by the city’s greatest poet, Dante Alighieri. A powerful encounter between poet and artist, sacred and secular, earthly and evanescent, these drawings produced a wealth of stunning images but were never finished.

"Quell'automobile traforata di colpi, quei giornali sparsi sul sedile posteriore, quel corpo coperto da un lenzuolo, quel rivolo di sangue che attraversa l'asfalto di via Fani. Immagini, impresse nella nostra memoria, che scandiscono un passaggio d'epoca". Quando e perché è finita la Prima Repubblica?
