The VE Day book Amol Rajan, Today, Radio 4Although redolent with the scent of bonfires and patterned with the crisscross of bunting, The Peoples Victory does far more than just paint a picture of VE Day; it captures the emotional complexity of a moment that was both an end and a beginning Becky Brown, editor of Blitz SpiritIN 1937, Charles Madge and Tom Harrisson created the social survey organisation Mass Observation to capture the thoughts, feelings and minutiae of individuals across the British Isles. At its height Mass Observation had 1,000 concurrent writers - stretching from Penzance to Aberdeen and including miners, academics and housewives - and collected over 1 million individual diary entries between 1937 and 1960.In The Peoples Victory, historian Lucy Noakes mines the Mass Observation archive to present a groundbreaking history of how Britons at home celebrated and experienced the end of World War II. Alongside street celebrations and tea parties, we find bonfires and bell ringing, water fights and wagon rides, solitary and shared walks - and copious amounts of alcohol. However, as Noakes also reveals, not everyone felt like celebrating that May: many were still waiting for news of family members who had vanished in the fog of war, whilst thousands of British soldiers were still interned in the Far East.By centring the voices, feelings and fears of the public at the heart of the Peoples War, Noakes also traces the hopes and changing attitudes of a nation in flux, revealing how the camaraderie and selflessness of wartime led to the birth of the welfare state.

Poucas vezes na história vimos ascender a esplêndida chama do Gênio Humano Universal. Podemos citar o cartaginês Aníbal Barca, como um gênio militar que marcou a história militar para sempre. Séculos

Los métodos tradicionales para estudiar el Pasado siempre han dado mayor importancia a los intereses nacionalistas, religiosos y morales, que subordinaban el hecho histórico al punto de vista del sistema. De esa forma hemos sido educados. Llego la hora de simplificar y demostrar respeto hacia nuestros ancestrales, esforzandonos en conocer lo que realmente sucedio en el pasado, y no apenas aquello que pretenden informarnos. Despues de tantos años estudiando Historia, llegue a la conclusion de que el mejor sistema de estudio es a traves de una Cronologia imparcial, objetiva, que se limite a colocar cada acontecimiento en su exacto lugar en el tiempo, revelando la Historia sin manipulaciones. Esta Cronologia contiene no apenas hechos puramente politicos, como fundacion de ciudades, nacimiento de reinos e imperios, descubrimientos cientificos y geograficos, desastres naturales y epidemias; sino que tambien incluye informaciones sobre los mas diferentes campos de la actividad humana: quimica, astronomia, geografia, matematicas, etc. De forma paralela, la cronologia esta complementada por datos que no pertenecen a una fecha determinada, sino a toda una epoca, son generalidades de cada sociedad, curiosidades, costumbres, la religion de cada civilizacion, inventos o descubrimientos que no pueden colocarse en una fecha exacta, etc. El resultado de todo este conjunto es una de las mas completas cronologias a su alcance, periodicamente actualizada con los ultimos descubrimientos arqueologicos y cientificos, y que transforma al lector en testigo presencial del pasado, comprendiendo la relacion de hechos geograficamente lejanos entre si, pero estrechamente conectados por su contemporaneidad e influyendo en inesperadas consecuencias. Eso es algo que la Historia tradicional por lo general ha dejado de lado cuando no era aprovechable. Una obra de esta magnitud no podria ser publicada en un unico libro, por eso la he dividido en varias colecciones, cuyos originales en español estan siendo traducidos para frances, ingles, italiano y portugues. La cronologia transcurre año a año, dentro de lo posible, desde la prehistoria hasta la actualidad. Para aquellos que prefieren un estudio mas profundo y detallado, he preparado una segunda cronologia, dia a dia, que por ahora abarca desde 1789 hasta 1946, dividida en cinco colecciones.

Esse foi meu primeiro romance, eu sempre quis escrever uma história policial ambientada no império romano. Durante o reinado do imperador Nero é assassinado um de seus melhores amigos, o milionário Claudius Emilius, com quem Nero mantinha uma rivalidade esportiva, ja que ambos patrocinavam duas das mais poderosas equipes no hipodromo de Roma. No entanto, aparentemente essa rivalidade no afetava a amizade dos dois homens, mas os rumores acusavam o imperador de ser o mandante do assassinato. Apos uma violenta mqanifestaço popular diante do palacio imperial, Nero decide contratar um famoso general para descubrir o autor do crime e aplacar assim a furia do povo. Mas a investigaço no se desenrola como o imperador esperava.
