Harry Truman and Pablo Picasso were contemporaries and were both shaped by and shapers of the great events of the twentieth century—the man who painted Guernica and the man who authorized the use of atomic bombs against civilians. But in most ways, they couldn’t have been more different. Picasso was a communist, and probably the only thing Truman hated more than communists was modern art. Picasso was an indifferent father, a womanizer, and a millionaire. Truman was utterly devoted to his family and, despite his fame, far from a rich man. How did they come to be shaking hands in front of Picasso’s studio in the south of France? Truman’s meeting with Picasso was quietly arranged by Alfred H. Barr Jr., the founding director of New York’s Museum of Modern Art and an early champion of Picasso. Barr knew that if he could convince these two ideological antipodes, the straight-talking politician from Missouri and the Cubist painter from Málaga, to simply shake hands, it would send a powerful message, not just to reactionary Republicans pushing McCarthyism at home but to the whole world: modern art was not evil. A rigorous history with a heartwarming center, When Harry Met Pablo intertwines the biographies of Truman and Picasso, the history of modern art, and twentieth-century American politics, but at its core, it is the touching story of two old men who meet for the first time and realize they have more in common—and are more alike—than they ever imagined.Ver livro

Nanasaheb had taken the Marathas to the largest extent possible. In south, the Peshwa had won against the Nizam. So there was no challenge there. While Delhi was the capital of the Mughal empire, the power seat was Pune. In 1758 it felt as if the Marathas could hold their power over Punjab sitting in Pune, 1500 kms away. This was a mistake in hindsight. To hold power in the country one had to take charge of the throne at Delhi which the Marathas were unwilling to do allowing the Mughal emperor to rule. If only the Marathas had taken charge of Delhi, history would have been different.Ver livro

For an estimated 60,000 years, Indigenous Australians inhabited the vast and diverse landscapes of the continent, developing rich cultures, complex social structures, and deep spiritual connections to the land. Long before European arrival, hundreds of distinct Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations thrived across Australia, each with unique languages, traditions, and ways of life. Their existence was deeply rooted in an intimate understanding of the environment, shaping a sustainable way of living that allowed them to flourish in regions ranging from arid deserts to lush coastal plains. Central to Indigenous Australian culture was the Dreamtime, a spiritual belief system that explained the creation of the land, its people, and its natural features. These stories, passed down through generations, connected individuals to their ancestors and dictated social laws, customs, and responsibilities. The land was not seen as something to be owned but rather as a living entity to be respected and cared for. This relationship fostered sophisticated land management practices, such as controlled burns to regenerate vegetation, ensuring the survival of both the people and the ecosystem. Trade networks existed long before European contact, linking different Indigenous groups across the continent. These exchanges included tools, ochre, food, and ceremonial items, highlighting the complexity of Aboriginal societies. The northern coastal communities also engaged in trade with seafarers from Southeast Asia, particularly the Makassan fishermen from present-day Indonesia, who arrived seasonally to harvest sea cucumbers. This interaction, occurring centuries before European exploration, demonstrates the long-standing external connections Indigenous Australians maintained.Ver livro
