A compreensão da França de Vichy, embora frequentemente reduzida a um intervalo sombrio entre 1940 e 1944, exige um olhar que ultrapasse a superfície dos fatos e mergulhe na complexidade histórica, s

Despite the doubts about the representability of the Holocaust, thousands of works of art and visual artifacts were created by prisoners in Nazi camps and ghettos during and immediately after the Holocaust. Yet, both art historians and historians rarely dealt with them for decades. Because of their mostly figurative language, researchers and memory institutions often reduced such images to the status of spiritual and political resistance, praised their artistic quality, or consulted them as illustrations of "how it was". But these images do not speak for themselves, they require analysis. In this volume, 19 international scholars, curators, and educators explore the potential of analytical approaches to drawings, albums, paintings, and prints created by victims and witnesses of the Nazi regime. They consolidate current approaches to these multifaceted objects and take the images seriously as images.

In the history of the European Communities, a declaration on European identity was adopted for the first time at the Copenhagen Summit in December 1973. Through this document, the heads of state and government set out a programmatic concept for further European integration, stronger internal cohesion and the emergence of a common foreign policy, in order to advance the unification process. After a short introduction, the book examines the background of the declaration, the role played by the founding member states, the states of the Northern enlargement (Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom), the Council of Europe, the European Council summit itself, and the European Court of Justice. The volume sheds light on what really lays behind the Copenhagen Declaration.

Embora Ponty mantenha uma alta fidelidade ao original, ele também adapta a linguagem de forma que é natural para leitores de língua portuguesa. Ele evita a literalidade extrema, que poderia resultar em uma traduço e artificial. Em vez disso, Ponty opta por uma abordagem que prioriza a fluidez e a acessibilidade, sem perder a complexidade do texto. Ponty escolhe palavras que, embora no sejam traduçes diretas, capturam a essencia do sentimento de posiço e grandiosidade do poeta comparado ao albatroz. Eric Ponty consegue realizar uma traduço de As flores do Mal que respeita a obra original, ao mesmo tempo em que adapta a linguagem para que seja natural e fluida em portugues. Ele equilibra habilmente a fidelidade ao texto original com a necessidade de manter a fluidez e a acessibilidade, preservando o tom sombrio e decadente que define a poesia de Baudelaire. Esta traduço oferece aos leitores lusofonos uma experiencia rica e envolvente, mantendo-se fiel ao espirito da obra original numa nova ediço apurada.

Each chapter offers clear, research-oriented insights into how systemic decay operates within large stateslessons that continue to resonate in discussions of geopolitical decline today. Step into the final chapters of an empire and uncover how a civilization that reshaped the world ultimately collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions.

Paying for a peerage - an illegal practice - feels like a very modern form of corruption, one that both the Labour and Conservative parties have been happy to indulge in at times during the early twenty-first century. Except, of course, it was happening almost a century ago.Meet Maundy Gregory, actor, journalist, publishing proprietor, conman, embezzler, MI5 spy - and the man you went to see if you had the money to pay for a peerage in the post-First World War years.Cutting a dash across high society of the 1920s - he was in attendance at the wedding of the future George VI - the immaculately oiled and overdressed Gregory would happily pockets thousands for playing Mr Fixit for wannabe knights and lords, and swell the coffers of Lloyd Georges Liberal Party to millions of pounds.Business was brisk, and business was brazen. Visitors to his lavish office on Parliament Street, with a direct line to Number 10, would be wined and dined and, after paying up, leave satisfied that they would be next on the list for a knighthood or barony. Nothing could be guaranteed, of course, and it was a strictly no refunds business.But Gregory was also suspected of being something else, to add to his impressive list of accomplishments: a murderer. As the political winds changed, the debts mounted up and the walls closed in around him, he somehow managed to inherit his mistresss not inconsiderable savings when she scribbled a new will on the back of a menu and was suddenly taken ill ...In The Man Who Sold Honours, Stephen Bates lifts the lid on the truth about this long-forgotten character who remains the only person ever to be successfully prosecuted under the sale of honours act of 1925. A powerful preview of the scandals to come in Britain in recent years, this is the story of the original honours tout - a riches-to-rags tale of greed, corruption and murder in the interwar years.

Alfred Landeckers life illustrates the fate of the vast majority of Jewish people in 20th century Germany at the time.From rural eastern Prussia to an industrial city in Germanys southeast: shortly before the start of the First World War, Alfred Landecker decided to make a considerable leap. Raised in a large Jewish family in the town of Nordenburg, as a young man Alfred left the area for Mannheim. After years on the Western Front, he worked as a business representative in a machine factory, became acquainted with his future Catholic wife Maria Gener, and started a family. In 1928, Maria died. Subsequent Nazi persecution from 1933 would place Alfred and his three children designated half Jews through the Nuremberg Laws in a hopeless situation. In 1942, Landecker was deported to the east and murdered. Times change, and with the times, people change as well he had written four years earlier in a letter to his daughter. This biography describes how changed times intruded into Alfred Landeckers life and destroyed it.
