Story
This classic memoir of the First World War is now a major motion picture starring Alicia Vikander and Kit Harington. In 1914 Vera Brittain was 20, and as war was declared she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life - and the lives of her whole generation - had changed in a way that would have been unimaginable in the tranquil prewar era.

Story
"If war spares me," wrote Vera Brittain to her brother, Edward, in 1916, "it will be my one aim to immortalise in a book the story of us four." Seventeen years later, Vera was to achieve her aim with the acclaimed Testament of Youth. This series of letters was the inspiration behind Testament. Written between Vera; her brother; her fiancé, Roland Leighton; and their two best friends, Victor Richardson and Geoffrey Thurlow, they give a unique perspective on the most horrifying conflict the world has ever seen.

Story
A story of courage, unconventionality and lust for life. Vera Wasowski was just seven years old when German soldiers marched her family into the Lvov Jewish ghetto in Poland. She watched her father take his own life and her mother accede to sexual blackmail in order to ensure her and Vera’s survival. With unsparing honesty and the blackest humour, she recalls a world where the desire to survive was everything.

Story
Svizzera, 2010. Cornelius Gurlitt, cittadino tedesco di 79 anni, sta viaggiando su un treno diretto a Monaco quando viene fermato per un controllo di routine. Agli occhi degli agenti l'uomo non è che un innocuo vecchietto, ma un'ispezione rivela che, cuciti nel risvolto della sua giacca, ci sono ben novemila euro in contanti. Una cifra importante per un pensionato, che porta la polizia ad approfondire le indagini.

Story
Questa è la storia scioccante di come furono concepiti i forni crematori e le camere a gas che permisero l'eliminazione di oltre un milione di persone durante l'Olocausto. Alla fine dell'Ottocento, la Topf e figli era una piccola e rispettata azienda a conduzione familiare con sede a Erfurt, in Germania, che produceva sistemi di riscaldamento e impianti per la lavorazione di birra e malto.

Story
At dawn on September 22, 1711, more than five hundred Tuscarora, Core, Neuse, Pamlico, Weetock, Machapunga, and Bear River Indian warriors swept down on the unsuspecting European settlers living along the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers of North Carolina. During the following days, they destroyed hundreds of farms, killed at least 140 men, women, and children, and took about 40 captives. So began the Tuscarora War, North Carolina's bloodiest colonial war and surely one of its most brutal.

Story
"L'ora segnata dal destino: Ricordi di un "volontario" universitario" è il resoconto dell'esperienza della seconda guerra mondiale, vissuta da un giovane diciannovenne, nutrito di studi classici e di ideali umanitari e libertari. La narrazione di una guerra "improvvisata", vissuta all'interno delle caserme, senza il filtro della retorica ufficiale del regime, è la testimonianza dell'assurdità, per certi versi anche tragicomica, di ogni conflitto. Al dramma delle vicende storiche si intreccia l'odissea di Gaspare, il protagonista, novello Ulisse.

Story
Giovanni Lonardi era un emigrante veronese che viveva in Svizzera. Nell'aprile del 1915, tornato per un breve soggiorno in Italia, è stato arruolato e spedito al fronte. Lascia così moglie e tre bimbe a carico dei suoi poveri e vecchi genitori. Capita in un reggimento tra i più martoriati del fronte e scampa alla morte molte volte quasi per miracolo. Si comporta valorosamente tanto che si guadagna la croce di bronzo e il grado di sergente. Nel 1917 durante una rischiosa missione è fatto prigioniero e viene internato in un campo di prigionia in Austria.
