Troubled Memory, Second Edition

Resumen del Ebook

This powerful book tells the story of Anne Skorecki Levy, a Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of reputed neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. The first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they subsequently made for themselves in the United States, Troubled Memory is also a dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto as a group, the Skoreckis evaded deportation to Treblinka by posing as Aryans. The family eventually made their way to New Orleans, where they became part of a vibrant Jewish community. Lawrence Powell traces their dramatic odyssey and explores the events that eventually triggered Anne Skorecki Levy's brave decision to honor the suffering of the past by confronting the recurring specter of racist hatred.

Paseos por Londres

In 1839, French writer and activist Flora Tristán traveled to London to observe firsthand the capital of the first modern industrial nation in the world. In Promenades dans Londres, she recounts the four months she spent visiting both those areas of the city the tourists avoided (and a few places she could only enter disguised as a man)—workshops and brothels, working-class neighborhoods and factories, asylums and jails—as well as the haunts of the bourgeoisie: Parliament, the horse races at Ascot, and private clubs. Her resulting diatribe against the inequalities she witnessed, and the...

El aprendiz de brujo

Desde las bombas en Hiroshima y Nagasaki tenemos una visión tenebrosa de la energía nuclear, que se refuerza cada vez que un accidente pone en riesgo a poblaciones enteras, como Chernobyl o Fukushima. Gustavo Lencina nos remonta a los días en que Marie Curie descubría reacciones físicas que revolucionarían la Medicina y nos muestra a dónde realmente han llegado. ¿Qué es la energía atómica? ¿Cuáles son sus beneficios y cuáles sus amenazas? ¿Cuáles son los compromisos que impone?

El artista, el filósofo y el guerrero

En el otoño de 1502, Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolás Maquiavelo y César Borgia viajaron juntos por las montañas, los pueblos remotos y las ciudades de la Romagna italiana participando en la campaña militar más incierta de la época. El artista, el filósofo y el guerrero es una descripción vívida y fascinante de una época de enorme importancia y considerable peligro, no sólo por los propios protagonistas sino por el país que estaban ayudando a construir. Borgia se ha convertido en sinónimo de actos brutales e inhumanos, con la sospecha añadida de incesto con su conocida hermana...
