For nearly 90 years, Lord Charnwood’s Abraham Lincoln has been the standard life history of the Great Emancipator. It has become one of the great classics of modern biography and has been read by millions. Charnwood describes the frontier life and continual self-education that developed Lincoln’s rare character and helped him to adapt to great events and demands such as few other men have experienced. Lincoln’s administrative genius, his war strategy, and his neglect of the lesser for the greater are all treated in this masterly portrait.

Il mondo sulle spalle. È il peso che Giorgio Napolitano ha spesso sentito su di sé durante la sua lunga vita politica, piena di battaglie appassionate, cause giuste e sbagliate e strade nuove da esplorare. E che, insieme alla gratificazione per l'intenso rapporto con gli italiani, ha avvertito ancor di più quando è diventato Presidente della Repubblica e poi è stato rieletto per un secondo mandato. Ma una sensazione simile l'ha talvolta provata anche il figlio Giulio, crescendo con un padre dal rigore fuori dal comune e seguendo il suo percorso con curiosità e partecipazione.

« En prison, il n’y a rien à voir, rien à faire. J’oublie le silence qui n’existe pas à la Santé où il y a beaucoup à entendre. Le bruit y est hélas constant. À l’image du désert, la vie intérieure se fortifie en prison. »

C'est l'histoire de la femme qui voulait et aurait pu devenir présidente de l'Afghanistan. Celle qui a dû se réfugier au Royaume-Uni lorsque les talibans ont pris le pouvoir, celle qui a refusé d'être réduite au silence malgré deux tentatives d'assassinat.

Les Presses Universitaires de France et Frémeaux & Associés proposent cette biographie de Napoléon III, par Xavier Mauduit, chroniqueur radio et docteur en histoire spécialiste du Second Empire. Napoléon III, empereur des Français, est un personnage complexe dont la postérité est entachée par la violence de ses détracteurs ; "Napoléon le Petit", "nain immonde" viennent sous la plume de Victor Hugo marquer à jamais les esprits. Pourtant, à la tête d'un bonapartisme réfléchi et populaire, Louis-Napoléon conquiert le cœur des Français, et entame une politique forte de modernisation, de grands travaux et d'essor de la France sur la scène internationale.

In 1923, 34-year-old Adolf Hitler was languishing in prison after leading an unsuccessful putsch to overthrow the German government. Within a decade he was German chancellor, one of the most powerful men in Europe. How did he do it? Had Hitler been a regular politician, Wilson argues, he would have vanished without trace after his prison experience. He was not, however, a regular politician but rather a conjurer, seeing politics not as the art of the possible but as the art of the impossible.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are the self-styled prince and princess of America. Their swift, gilded rise to extraordinary power in Donald Trump’s White House is unprecedented, unconstitutional, and dangerous. In Kushner, Inc., investigative journalist Vicky Ward digs beneath the myth the couple has created that depicts themselves as the voices of reason in an otherwise crazy presidency and reveals that Jared and Ivanka are not just the president’s chief enablers, they are, like him, disdainful of rules, of laws, and of ethics.  

Uno es liberal, el otro socialista; uno defiende las razones del protocolo, el otro se ha encargado de dinamitar las formalidades de la autoridad; uno es colorado, el otro es de origen blanco; uno es traje y zapatos de suela, el otro, camisa leñadora y botas de trabajo. Los dos pasaron los 80 años de vida. Los dos fueron presidentes de la República Oriental del Uruguay y, por sus diferencias, son dos caras opuestas. Por sus similitudes, son una misma moneda.

In the wake of the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte, First Consul of France, and Pope Pius VII shared a common goal: to reconcile the church with the state. But while they were able to work together initially, formalizing an agreement in 1801, relations between them rapidly deteriorated. In 1809, Napoleon ordered the Pope's arrest. Ambrogio Caiani provides a pioneering account of the tempestuous relationship between the emperor and his most unyielding opponent.

Despite attempts to suppress its publication and the advertising ban placed on it, The President’s Daughter enjoyed bestseller rankings after its eventual publication in 1927. Written so that Britton could raise enough funds to support her (and Harding’s) daughter and thus argue for the true legitimacy of children born out of wedlock, this tell-all about the affair between a starry-eyed girl and the man who would eventually become the twenty-ninth president of the United States is still a fascinating and relevant story in the context of the Me Too era.
