Sinopse

In "The Last Days of Fort Vaux, March 9-June 7, 1916," Henry Bordeaux presents a poignant and meticulously detailed account of the grueling stand at Fort Vaux during World War I. Using a vivid narrative style, Bordeaux captures the harrowing experiences of the French soldiers surrounded by the relentless German offensive. The book is both a historical document and a poignant literary exploration of courage and despair against the backdrop of one of World War I's most significant battles. Bordeaux'Äôs eloquent prose and rich descriptions immerse the reader in the psychological and physical realities faced by the defenders, illuminating the complexities of warfare and human emotion during this turbulent period. Bordeaux, a noted French novelist and essayist, was deeply affected by the events of World War I, having served as a soldier in the conflict. His personal encounters with the war, combined with his literary acumen, allowed him to portray not just the events but also the profound human experiences behind them. Through this work, Bordeaux not only memorializes the bravery of the Fort Vaux defenders but also critiques the futility and tragedy of war itself. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in military history, those looking to understand the human condition under duress, and anyone seeking a compelling narrative that transcends mere historical facts. Bordeaux'Äôs lyrical and empathetic storytelling ensures that "The Last Days of Fort Vaux" is both an educational resource and a moving testament to the resilience of the human spirit in times of crisis.

    A Spectator Best Book of the Year 
    Trawling through a vast family archive and arcane sources in half a dozen languages, Adam Zamoyski has revealed the dramatic life of his great-great-great grandmother, an uneducated, vulnerable girl cast into a man’s world. 
    Her aristocratic position enmeshed her in high politics and close encounters with Frederick the Great, Benjamin Franklin, Rousseau, Joseph II, Marie-Antoinette and Tsar Alexander I, and earned her the enmity of Catherine the Great. She lived through revolution and no less than five wars, in which her cherished homes were devastated, her possessions looted and her children scattered. Caught up in tempestuous love affairs which led her to nervous breakdown and the brink of suicide, exploited by her lovers, she remained undaunted and liberated herself through education. And, unusually for her time, she became a caring mother devoted to her children. 
    She learned much by travelling extensively around Europe at a time of political and ideological change, and her observations, particularly on Georgian Britain, are remarkable. She gradually won the admiration of learned men and intellectual honours. She pioneered schooling for children of the poor and developed her own educational methods. Fascinated by the power of objects to kindle memories and arouse emotions, she was an avid collector of anything with a sensuous association and built two unique museums to act as teaching aids. 
    This is a story of triumph over adversity and betrayal. It was not achieved by her looks: ‘I have never been beautiful, but I have sometimes been pretty,’ she wrote. It was achieved by force of character and resilience. 
    This non-fiction biography of Izabela the Valiant, a woman of character and resilience, takes the reader on a journey through the rebellions and revolutions of her time. Her story, deeply intertwined with the history of Poland, is a captivating exploration of royalty, politics, and personal strength. 
    For fans of Christopher Clark (Kaiser Wilhelm II), Martyn C. Rady (The Habsburgs), Norman Davies (George II), Tom Holland (Athelstan), and Simon Sebag Montefiore (Jerusalem).

    The Saved and the Spurned -...

    For several months before World War II, hundreds of persecuted Jews, mainly from Nazi-occupied Vienna, tried to escape to Northern Ireland. They had learned of a Stormont job-creation scheme to tackle the region's chronic unemployment by offering financial support to skilled professionals.
    Almost all applicants were rejected, and more than 125 of these men, women and children were murdered in the Holocaust.
    Based on extensive archival research, unpublished family memoirs and letters, and interviews with survivors and their descendants, this extraordinary book describes the applicants' desperate efforts to save their families and themselves, and highlights the tireless work done by committed Northern Irish people to rescue them. It also explores how the small numbers of refugees admitted made a major contribution to Northern Ireland's economic, social and cultural life that continues to this day.

    The enigma’s origins can be traced back to a specific date or event, one that set into motion a series of actions and reactions that would change the course of history. The disappearance seemed to defy all logic, prompting countless theories, speculations, and investigations. What made it even more baffling was the lack of any solid leads or clear explanation. The initial shockwave reverberated through communities, then nations, and eventually captured the attention of the international media. While some were quick to dismiss it as a simple case of human error or an unfortunate accident, others, with a more skeptical mindset, began to delve into deeper, darker possibilities. 
    The world began to wonder: Was there something more to this disappearance than met the eye? Could it be that the vanishing was part of something far grander—an elaborate scheme, a well-organized plot, or a conspiracy of sorts? As the days stretched into weeks, weeks into months, and even years, the mystery seemed to grow deeper, defying all attempts at resolution. Various experts, investigators, and amateurs alike joined the search, each bringing their own theories, each finding new clues that led them down different paths. Yet, despite the global effort, the answers remained elusive.
