15 dicembre 1969, la giornata più lunga. I funerali di Stato delle vittime nel Duomo. L'arresto del "mostro" Pietro Valpreda, un ballerino anarchico milanese.

Dopo tre giorni, il ferroviere anarchico Giuseppe Pinelli è ancora trattenuto in questura: a mezzanotte, durante l'ennesimo interrogatorio, precipita dal quarto piano di Milano e muore.

Between dusk and dawn on the night of March 24-25, 1944, a small army of Allied soldiers crawled through tunnels in Germany in a covert operation the likes of which the Third Reich had never seen. The prison break from Stalag Luft III in Eastern Germany was the largest of its kind in the Second World War.

In volume three of Cyril Robinson's famous history of England, we now enter a crucial phase in which political and economic power both change hands. Parliament now dominates the nation's political discourse, and, led by its brilliant Whig leader, Robert Walpole, this party maintains itself in power for a century. It is a stagnant century of corrupt politics and even more corrupt government magistrates and bureaucrats. But it is also the century that will usher in the greatest change humankind has ever seen.

Troisième volume du Journal des Goncourt (1866-1870), ces Mémoires de la vie littéraire saisissent, jour après jour, le pouls d’une époque. D’une table d’hôte au Havre où des capitaines de commerce jugent la « paix à tout prix » de Louis‑Philippe, aux rêveries d’une nuit au porto — arrivée en Angleterre avec Gavarni, maison aux décors qui changent — s’y mêlent notes vives, colères et délicates impressions. Regard acéré, style nerveux, humour et mélancolie: Edmond et Jules fixent l’instant, la conversation, le climat des idées.

One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.

Man kan også læse om den franske læge dr. Petiot, der under krigen havde modtaget klækkelige summer for at redde flygtninge ud af landet blot for selv at slå dem ihjel. Georg V.
