Oh, Jerusalén Dominique LAPIERRE y Larry COLLINS
Oh, Jerusalén narra el nacimiento del Estado de Israel en 1948, tras la cruenta lucha entre árabes y judíos. A lo largo de sus páginas, el lector vive los acontecimientos codo a codo con sus protagonistas: los británicos, las tropas de Andel Kader y de la Legión Árabe, los combatientes de Irgan y del grupo Stern y los agentes secretos de las distintas facciones en pugna. Lapierre y Collins construyen un vasto fresco histórico desbordante de aventuras, drama, amor y heroísmo. Oh, Jerusalén, se ha convertido así en una obra clásica y en un texto clave para entender por qué Israel sigue siendo, medio siglo después de su fundación, una de las zonas más conflictivas del planeta. Un libro que ha dejado una profunda huella en más de treinta millones de lectores.

Includes picturesIncludes Bismarck's quotes about his life and careerIncludes online resources and a bibliography for further readingIncludes a table of contents In 1832, 17 year old Otto von Bismarck had just entered university and was already rejecting the republican indoctrination of his grade school years. Unlike so many of his day who had championed representative government, Bismarck longed for the glory of a nation he believed would only be found under a single, strong leader. Though his early university days showed him he would be isolated by this thinking, he strongly believed not only in the ideal of a national German state, but in its possibility.

Ovid's Metamorphoses: Line by Line Latin + Vocabulary Publius Ovidius Naso and Paul Hudson
This edition of the Metamorphoses is different to every other one you will come across, for one simple reason: it was designed specifically as an e-book. Without the need to print a physical copy and its accompanying size restrictions, we were able to do something that no one has done before, which was to split all 11,000 lines of the Metamorphoses into individual lines of Latin text, then provide running vocabulary for every word. As you might imagine, this does not provide an ideal reading experience for one wishing to enjoy the pleasure's of Ovid's Latin, but it was not designed to do so. Instead, this book is aimed at students, teachers and indeed any Latin lovers who want to deep dive into this epic work and parse fully every word. So, if you're the kind of Latin reader who looks for...
