Ce recueil dresse la chronologie de l'Affaire et rappelle la férocité de cette lutte pour la vérité et la justice commencée le 25 novembre 1897 avec son premier article en faveur de Dreyfus, jusqu'à sa dernière lettre au président de la République le 22 décembre 1900. À cette date, Dreyfus n'a pas été réhabilité et Zola ne peut l'accepter.

This book offers a series of problems in thinking that require no special knowledge and no mathematics. The problems are designed to let readers find out about their personal style of thinking, its weaknesses and strengths, and the potential methods that they never use. Being right is not always important - an error can lead to the right decision.

Un día de septiembre de 1927, Nalo entró a trabajar en el palacio azul de los ingenieros belgas como aprendiz de jardinero. Las primaveras y las revoluciones llegaron al palacio antes que aningún otro lugar e iniciaron al joven en la amistad y el amor, en la comprensión y el análisis. Fulgencio Argüelles, a través de un narrador certero que observa con tenura, nos acerca a los avatares personales ehistóricos de quienes vivieron y trabajaron en el palacio azul.

It is astonishing that Simón Bolívar, the great Liberator of South America, is not better known in the United States. He freed six countries from Spanish rule, traveled more than 75,000 miles on horseback to do so, and became the greatest figure in Latin American history. His life is epic, heroic, straight out of Hollywood: he fought battle after battle in punishing terrain, forged uncertain coalitions of competing forces and races, lost his beautiful wife soon after they married and died relatively young, uncertain whether his achievements would endure.

A classic of Japanese history, this audiobook is the preeminent work on the history of Japan. Newly revised and updated, A History of Japan is a single-volume complete history of the nation of Japan. Starting in ancient Japan during its early pre-history period, A History of Japan covers every important aspect of history and culture through feudal Japan to the post-Cold War period and collapse of the bubble economy in the early 1990s. Recent findings shed additional light on the origins of Japanese civilization and the birth of Japanese culture.

In unforgettable tales of innocence lost under African skies, we follow Godwin's awakening to the often savage struggle between Whites and Blacks, his horror when he is forced to fight in a civil war he detests, and his experiences as a journalist covering the country's violent transition to Black rule as Rhodesia's colonial era comes to an end and the new state of Zimbabwe is born from its bloody ashes. Mukiwa is a poignant, compelling memoir and an invaluable addition to the literature of southern Africa.

Chris Harman describes the shape and course of human history as a narrative of ordinary people forming and re-forming complex societies in pursuit of common human goals. Interacting with the forces of technological change as well as the impact of powerful individuals and revolutionary ideas, these societies have engendered events familiar to every schoolchild-from the empires of antiquity to the world wars of the 20th century. In a bravura conclusion, Chris Harman exposes the reductive complacency of contemporary capitalism.

Most historians study the smallest slivers of time, emphasizing specific dates, individuals, and documents. But what would it look like to study the whole of history, from the big bang through the present day - and even into the remote future? How would looking at the full span of time change the way we perceive the universe, the earth, and our very existence? These were the questions David Christian set out to answer when he created the field of "Big History", the most exciting new approach to understanding where we have been, where we are, and where we are going.

From one of China’s most acclaimed writers, his first work of nonfiction to appear in English: a unique, intimate look at the Chinese experience over the last several decades, told through personal stories and astute analysis that sharply illuminate the country’s meteoric economic and social transformation. Characterized by Yu Hua’s trademark wit, insight, and courage, China in Ten Words is a refreshingly candid vision of the “Chinese miracle” and all its consequences, from the singularly invaluable perspective of a writer living in China today.

It was a moment unique in human history: the face-to-face meeting between two men from civilizations a world apart. In 1519, Hernán Cortés arrived on the shores of Mexico, determined not only to expand the Spanish empire but to convert the natives to Catholicism and carry off a fortune in gold. That he saw nothing paradoxical in his intentions is one of the most remarkable and tragic aspects of this unforgettable story.

Alain Viala nous propose une plongée dans le Moyen Age sous forme d'un cours didactique que Daniel Mesguich illustre par des lectures de textes, qui nous imprègnent d'une époque et de son expression.

Se cumplen cinco siglos de la Conquista de México, y a lo largo de este tiempo Hernán Cortés ha desempeñado un claro papel en el imaginario colectivo de la nación: el de villano. Para Christian Duverger esta apreciación no podría ser más injusta. Lejos del ambicioso y sanguinario invasor que los libros de texto han urdido, el historiador francés presenta en esta biografía en dos tomos a un humanista, un hombre de armas y de letras que vio en las tierras americanas la posibilidad, no de trasplantar una copia de la sociedad castellana, sino de inventar un mundo nuevo.

Thousands of novels are published around the world every year. There are so many readily available, it would take multiple lifetimes for a single person to even read a fraction of them. But it hasn’t always been that way. While humans have always been storytellers, the novel as we recognize it today is a relatively new art form in the timeline of human culture. Of all the ways we tell stories, why has the novel become such a perennial favorite? How did the novel go from a narrative experiment with a low-brow reputation to a cultural touchstone and focal point of modern literature?

Alexandre le Grand est l'un des personnages les plus célèbres de l'Antiquité. Fils de Philippe II, élève d'Aristote, il devient l'un des plus grands conquérants de l'histoire.

Aunque los Países Bajos, como Inglaterra, tenían suficiente con ocuparse de su extraordinario desarrollo comercial a lo largo y ancho de este mundo, también tuvieron oportunidad de destacar con grandes monumentos y geniales autores barrocos que han quedado inscritos para siempre en la memoria universal, como el incomparable Rembrandt van Ryn.

Nel 1494, solo due anni dopo la "scoperta dell’America", a Tordesillas, una piccola località della Castiglia, veniva firmato un trattato tra Spagna e Portogallo che divideva il mondo in due e inventava l’Occidente come spazio, comunità e cultura. Mai nessuno si sarebbe potuto aspettare che una semplice firma avesse conseguenze così gigantesche e durature. Questa è la storia di come, tra medioevo ed età moderna, le società europee (all’inizio spagnoli e portoghesi in testa) spinsero le proprie ambizioni sempre più verso l’oceano e così facendo trasformarono l’idea che esse avevano dell’Ovest.
