The fifteenth century was a turbulent age: the Hundred Years War between England and France, and the Wars of the Roses dominated the lives of people both inside and out of the royal courts. Joan of Navarre, Katherine of Valois, Margaret of Anjou, Elizabeth Wydeville and Anne Neville were the queens who stood by England's sovereigns, caught up in wars that changed the course of their lives, and the course of history. They were also formidable women who defied the limitations of their times, often living out the brutal consequences of their determination.

"Le nouveau monde ne sera pas construit par ceux qui restent à l'écart les bras croisés, mais par ceux qui sont dans l'arène, les vêtements réduits en haillons par la tempête et le corps mutilé par les événements." Arrêté en 1962 par le gouvernement d'apartheid d'Afrique du Sud, Nelson Mandela a passé vingt-sept ans en prison - du 7 novembre 1962 au 11 février 1990. Au cours de ces 10 052 jours de détention, il fut un épistolier prolifique, écrivant des centaines de lettres aux autorités inflexibles, à ses compagnons de lutte, aux gouvernements officiels, mais aussi à sa femme Winnie, à ses cinq enfants et, plus tard, à ses petits-enfants.

Das mächtigste Amt der deutschen Politik hat noch niemand freiwillig aufgegeben - außer Angela Merkel. Dabei hat sie sich gerade am Ende ihrer Amtszeit wieder als Krisenmanagerin bewährt und hohe Zustimmungswerte erhalten. Denn so schätzen sie die Deutschen: Angela Merkel ist so pragmatisch, wie Helmut Schmidt es gerne gewesen wäre. Ideologien, Weltanschauungen, Grundsatzfragen interessieren sie wenig. Unaufgeregt schlachtete sie mehrere heilige Kühe der Christdemokraten, etwa die Wehrpflicht oder die Kernkraft. Kritiker warfen ihr deshalb vor, ihr einziges Programm sei es, Kanzlerin zu sein.

Nel novembre del 2014, i tredici membri della famiglia Biden si trovarono a Nantucket per festeggiare il Ringraziamento, una tradizione che li riuniva da quarant'anni. Ma quell'anno era diverso dagli altri. Quindici mesi prima, infatti, al figlio maggiore di Joe e Jill Biden, Beau, era stato diagnosticato un tumore al cervello. Le possibilità di sopravvivere erano poche. "Papà, fammi una promessa", aveva detto un giorno Beau a suo padre. "Dammi la tua parola che starai bene, qualsiasi cosa succeda". Joe Biden gli aveva dato la sua parola.

This book traces his childhood and education, his ascension amidst intrigue, his campaigns against Saladin, the construction of a sober administrative machinery, the complex diplomacy with military orders and neighboring powers, and the twilight of power amid regencies and succession disputes.
