The Escape Artist
The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World
Jonathan Freedland - 2022-10-18
Calificación de Goodreads
Discover the gripping story of Rudolf Vrba, the first Jew to escape Auschwitz and share the death camp's horrors with the world. In part thrilling adventure, part exploration of the Holocaust's darkest secrets, author Jonathan Freedland uncovers the tale of a brilliant and courageous man who risked everything to save lives. Alongside fellow escapee Fred Wetzler, Vrba's journey was a fight for truth and justice, and their report helped spur Allied action. This book explores the life of a man whose legacy deserves to be as widely known as that of Anne Frank and Oskar Schindler.

I love this book, a witty, acerbic but warm look at how our national character is built on yearning for a glorious past that is just gone, and actually probably never existed. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.      fuente

The Earth Transformed by @peterfrankopan truly is an epic masterpiece. There are many 'big ideas' books out there, but often are beset by wafer-thin scholarship, and few stand up to scrutiny. This absolutely does. It's a book for the ages, and I cannot recommend it enough.      fuente

Discover the fascinating hidden culture and science of bisexuality with this personal and scientific manifesto from psychologist and bestselling author Julia Shaw.

How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe
Caroline Dodds Pennock - 2023-01-24
Calificación de Goodreads
Discover the untold story of Indigenous Americans who journeyed across the Atlantic to Europe in the wake of the Age of Discovery. In this groundbreaking work, Caroline Dodds Pennock challenges our Eurocentric understanding of history and sheds light on cultural appropriation, abduction, and loss; a story that has largely been absent from our collective imagination of the times. Drawing on surviving literature, poetry, and eyewitness accounts, Pennock gives us a sweeping account of the Indigenous American presence in, and impact on, early modern Europe.
