Times change, love stories are not forever. A romantic crime novel in which love and drama intertwine.
Based on a combination of a wide range of second-hand sources with previously unknown archival material from Spain, Britain, France and the United States, this book explores the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39 as a propaganda battle aimed mainly at foreign public opinion. It shows how both Nationalists and Republicans used the experiences of previous conflicts such as World War I, as well as that of their totalitarian allies, in order to set up a number of propaganda and censorship services with the goal of persuading foreign -- and specifically British -- audiences of the legitimacy of their causes, and of the need to give them political, military, and relief assistance. The propaganda message...
In Painting Is Finite, Hugo García Manríquez traces the edge of elemental life via elemental form. First published in Spanish under the title, Los Materiales (Mexico City: Fonda Editorial Tierra Adentro, 2008), this volume presents Manríquez's first English-language collection. In these poems, memory is a verb: it "behaves in both directions / the result that it casts / the present, that is, mobility" so that "nothing that preceded you / has prepared you for the experience / 'the return of painting.'" In such a return, we confront the incommensurable as a material surface, likened here to the written: "history is the only matter excreted by / that which dies," and thus "Newspapers seek volunteers for the shadow on the front page." This poetry inhabits the edges as a vocation, urging us into relation with the materials. -- Publisher's website.

Bringing together leading scholars from a range of nations, Rethinking Antifascism provides a fascinating exploration of one of the most vibrant sub-disciplines within recent historiography. Through case studies that exemplify the field’s breadth and sophistication, it examines antifascism in two distinct realms: after surveying the movement’s remarkable diversity across nations and political cultures up to 1945, the volume assesses its postwar political and ideological salience, from its incorporation into Soviet state doctrine to its radical questioning by historians and politicians. Avoiding both heroic narratives and reflexive revisionism, these contributions offer nuanced perspectives on a movement that helped to shape the postwar world.
Isaan e Moyna avevano vissuto, fin dalla più tenera età, uno accanto all’altro e, tuttavia, non si conoscevano di persona. Avevano due anni di differenza e lui andava al collegio per maschietti e lei a quello per femminucce, separati solo da un muro, e c’era una così grande varietà di bimbi intorno a loro che sarebbe stato difficile conoscersi al di là del muro. Quando dico muro lo dico in senso letterale, visto che il collegio per bambine era da una parte, sopra, e un muro di una decina metri lo separava dal collegio per maschietti, sotto, e i due continuavano così a vivere fianco a fianco ma senza conoscersi. Uno dei migliori amici di Isaan aveva una sorella che era una delle migliori amiche di Moyna.
