Story
It is 1948, and post-war Britain is on her knees. The call has gone out to the British Empire for volunteers to help rebuild the Mother Country, and young men and women from across the Caribbean have been quick to respond, paying the considerable sum of £28.10s to board HMT Empire Windrush. As five hundred disparate passengers begin the two-week voyage, it becomes clear that their lives will never be the same again.

Story
Un colapso ha llevado al hombre que escribe esta correspondencia a un nuevo estado cerebral que no ha dejado en su memoria ni el más mínimo rastro de lo que fue. A lo largo de un año, el que fuera un reconocido lingüista explora su conciencia y, ante la ausencia de recuerdos, recoge una a una las piezas de su antigua vida como investigador de prestigio y lector insaciable, esculca en los vestigios de su vida profesional, familiar, afectiva, y se interroga sobre la vanidad que acecha en la acumulación de conocimiento, descubriendo poco a poco la belleza de las cosas más simples y cotidianas.

Story
"Коллекция заблуждений" это книга о ярких личностях, оставивших свой неповторимый след в мировой истории. Ещё при жизни на них были навешены ярлыки: "ангел" или "злодей", "хороший" или "плохой", "праведник" или "грешник". Но действительно ли всё было так однозначно? Конечно, нет! В первую очередь, это книга о людях с тяжёлой, а порой и трагической судьбой; о тех, чей истинный облик только начинает пробиваться сквозь многолетнюю ложь; о тех, кому понадобились годы, а порой и века, чтобы предстать перед потомством в истинном свете.

Story
Mut kennt kein Kalkül: Der Überfall auf den 20. Deportationszug nach Auschwitz. Am 19. April 1943 stoppen drei junge Männer einen Zug, der 1.618 Juden vom belgischen Sammellager Mechelen nach Auschwitz transportiert. Ausgerüstet mit drei Zangen, einer mit rotem Papier beklebten Sturmleuchte sowie einer Pistole, führen Youra Livchitz, Jean Franklemon und Robert Maistriau einen Plan aus, den jüdische Widerständler erdacht, bewaffnete Partisanen aber als zu riskant verworfen hatten. Sie befreien 17 Männer und Frauen, dann eröffnen die deutschen Bewacher das Feuer.
