A tutt’oggi Hitler e il suo carisma sono circondati da un fascino perverso. In questa nuova biografia politica, Hans-Ulrich Thamer riassume in modo pregnante lo stato della ricerca concentrandosi in particolare sul rapporto tra messinscena e potere, e tra consenso e violenza. L’autore – tra i maggiori esperti del nazionalsocialismo – mostra in modo chiaro e comprensibile come Hitler abbia reagito abilmente alle aspettative della società tedesca facendo diventare il culto del Führer la base stessa della sua politica.

“Don’t cry darling. We need this baby. You will see.” With these words from her husband, Zoltán, Ibolya Rechnitzer’s fear of being pregnant during the uncertainty of wartime is somewhat eased. But in November 1942, four months after their baby, Andy, is born, Zoltán is drafted into the forced labour service of the Hungarian army and Ibolya must cope, alone, as a single mother and a Jew facing persecution in Budapest. Her son gives her a reason to fight, and Ibolya protects him fiercely during the war and after, when she must make a crucial decision that will forever alter their lives.

Odd Arne Westad and Chen Jian chronicle how an impoverished and terrorized China experienced radical political changes in the long 1970s and how ordinary people broke free from the beliefs that had shaped their lives during Mao’s Cultural Revolution. These changes, and the unprecedented and sustained economic growth that followed, transformed China and the world.

On May 8, 1945, when he was just ten years old, Gidon Lev was liberated from a Nazi concentration camp after four nightmarish years. Twenty-six family members, including Gidon’s beloved father and grandparents, were murdered in the Holocaust. Only Gidon and his mother survived. From the depths of despair, a little boy who had lost so much was determined to build a life filled with adventure and love. And that is exactly what he did.

A tutt’oggi Hitler e il suo carisma sono circondati da un fascino perverso. In questa nuova biografia politica, Hans-Ulrich Thamer riassume in modo pregnante lo stato della ricerca concentrandosi in particolare sul rapporto tra messinscena e potere, e tra consenso e violenza. L’autore – tra i maggiori esperti del nazionalsocialismo – mostra in modo chiaro e comprensibile come Hitler abbia reagito abilmente alle aspettative della società tedesca facendo diventare il culto del Führer la base stessa della sua politica.

Arthur Haberman sees 1930 as a watershed year in the intellectual life of Europe and with this book, the first to see the contributions of the public intellectuals of 1930 as a single entity, he forces a reconsideration and reinterpretation of the period.

“Don’t cry darling. We need this baby. You will see.” With these words from her husband, Zoltán, Ibolya Rechnitzer’s fear of being pregnant during the uncertainty of wartime is somewhat eased. But in November 1942, four months after their baby, Andy, is born, Zoltán is drafted into the forced labour service of the Hungarian army and Ibolya must cope, alone, as a single mother and a Jew facing persecution in Budapest. Her son gives her a reason to fight, and Ibolya protects him fiercely during the war and after, when she must make a crucial decision that will forever alter their lives.
