Troubled Memory, Second Edition

Resumen del Libro

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.

Oviedo, crónica de fin de siglo Tomo II 1910-1969

Oviedo. Crónica de un siglo es la historia de dos calles fundamentales en la vida ovetense: Cimadevilla, tradicional meridiano de la vida social, y Uría, nueva vía por donde Vetusta rompe su secular entramado urbano, hecho que va a forzar la paulatina renovación de hábitos y formas de vida. Juan de Lillo, con brillante pulso literario, construye una crónica -antecedente histórico familiar de muchos ovetenses de hoy-, en la que la riqueza de datos, nombres, situaciones y anécdotas componen una obra singular.

La revolución rusa

La obra fundamental sobre la revolución rusa, un acontecimiento que marcó decisivamente el siglo XX. Richard Pipes, historiador de máximo prestigio especializado en la Rusia contemporánea, publicó en 1992 este volumen sobre la revolución rusa que aún no ha sido superado. Monumental y apasionante por la narración de un movimiento cuyo fin era «volver el mundo del revés», tal y como pretendía Trotski, el libro de Pipes presenta una revolución intelectual más que de clase, marcada desde el comienzo por el terror y con elementos propios de un golpe de estado. Una obra fundamental....
