It was, and remains, the only open-water ditching of a commercial jet. The subsequent rescue of survivors took nearly three hours and involved the coast guard, navy, and marines.

Il volume, che per la sua originalità ha contribuito a rinnovare sostanzialmente la storiografia sul Ventennio in Italia e all'estero, analizza il "partito-milizia" come embrione totalitario, interpreta il regime fascista come "cesarismo totalitario" e propone una revisione del concetto stesso di totalitarismo, interpretato, secondo il suo originario significato storico, come esperimento e metodo di dominio politico.

On April 4, 1979, a Boeing 727 with 82 passengers and a crew of seven rolled over and plummeted from an altitude of 39,000 feet to within seconds of crashing, were it not for the crew's actions to save the plane.

L'urgenza umana e artistica di dare corpo al suono con un gesto di riconoscenza offerto a coloro che pagarono l'immane prezzo dell'inutile strage.

"Can anything orthodox come from Pentecostalism?" This recasting of Nathaniel's familiar question from the Gospel is a fair summary of many modern Christians' assessment of the Pentecostal tradition. Yet in recent years, a growing number of Pentecostals have been turning afresh to the ancient, creedal Christian faith.

In un incredibile viaggio nel Mar dei Caraibi, tra arrembaggi, tempeste, giaguari, sabbie mobili e perfino cannibali, trova anche il tempo di innamorarsi di una duchessa fiamminga che ha rapito per chiederne il riscatto.

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñando. En la pieza que da título a este volumen (premio Xavier Villaurrutia), Jorge, un muchacho que no entiende por qué la vida es como es, crece en una sociedad de doble moral cuyas contradicciones se acentúan a medida que lo consume el amor por una joven mayor que él.
