Il ritratto che ne viene tracciato è il "romanzo sceneggiato" degli episodi salienti della vita del Console. Ugo De Vita ripercorre la sua vicenda personale attraverso gli aneddoti e le vicende dell'infanzia, senza tralasciare di menzionare i passaggi essenziali dell'istruzione militare di Cesare. Gli scontri, la lotta di potere, la maturità e la sempre maggiore urgenza di affermare se stesso non mettono in secondo piano il suo desiderio di benessere e prosperità per il suo popolo, ma nemmeno la sua folle pretesa di essere venerato come una Divinità. Prima ancora di cadere vittima di una congiura, Caio Giulio Cesare fu sconfitto dalla bramosia di affermare se stesso. ©2017 Rosina-De Vita (P)2017 GOODmood

Divenne dittatore di Roma e, se la congiura mise fine alla sua vita e al suo desiderio di potere, la sua politica aveva ormai dato avvio a quel processo irreversibile che sarebbe stato la nascita del principato.

E' il 27 settembre 1948, la guerra è finita da più di tre anni ma Spenser è interessato al ruolo che la donna ebbe, nelle zone di confine tra la Svizzera e l'Italia, durante il secondo conflitto mondiale come ex agente dell'OSS, l'Office of Strategic Service che durante il periodo bellico ebbe sede a Berna e che in seguito divenne la CIA. Nella raffinata cornice del "Grand Hotel Villa d'Este" a Cernobbio l'uomo, che Nadia scopre essere inviato del governo degli Stati Uniti, la interroga sui suoi presunti rapporti con alcuni partigiani comunisti nei giorni che precedettero la cattura e l'uccisione di Benito Mussolini, sulla resa incondizionata dei nazisti agli alleati anglo-americani e, in particolare, sul ritrovamento e la misteriosa sparizione dell'immenso tesoro che Mussolini in fuga portava con sé noto come "L'oro di Dongo". Nonostante le domande di Mark siano inopportune e capziose, Nadia, forte della sua buonafede, soddisfa la sua curiosità e gli racconta la storia di due partigiani comunisti, il Capitano Neri e la sua staffetta Gianna, combattenti nell'alto lago di Como dove parteciperanno alla cattura di Mussolini, alla conta dell'oro di Dongo che, ingenuamente, ritengono debba essere destinato al nuovo stato italiano.

Barnes Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 03-28-13 Publisher: Legacy Audio Books, Inc. Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Publisher's Summary: Abraham Lincoln, "The Great Emancipator" and 16th President of the United States, served from 1861 until his assassination. His life is captured brilliantly by writer John Hugh Bowers. The Life of Lincoln depicts an amazing man's triumphs, insecurities, and crushing defeats with uncanny insight: his early poverty and the ambition that propelled him out of it; the shaping of the man and his political philosophy by youthful exposure to Christianity, slavery, and business; his tempestuous marriage and his fatherly love. Lincoln was elected to the presidency by a twist of fate. As an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States, Lincoln won the Republican Party nomination in 1860 and was elected president later that year. He introduced measures that resulted in the abolition of slavery, issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and promoting the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. Lincoln had an unswerving devotion to maintaining the union as he oversaw the grim day-to-day conduct of the war as his vision and acumen led the country forward. During his term, he helped preserve the United States by leading the defeat of the secessionist Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. He closely supervised the victorious war effort, especially the selection of top generals, including Ulysses S. Grant. Legacy Audio is proud to present this incisive study of a turning point in our history and a revealing portrait of its pivotal figure, his greatness etched even more clearly in this very touching human story.

Gordon Narrator: Karen Commins Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 08-27-15 Publisher: Spoken Realms Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Publisher's Summary: Nineteenth-century reformer Susan B. Anthony advocated for many causes, including limitations on alcohol access and abolition of slavery. However, she is best known for her tireless efforts as a suffragist seeking equal and civil rights for women. In November 1872, Anthony and 14 other women were arrested in Rochester, NY, for illegally voting in the United States election. The only reason their votes were deemed illegal was because they were women. This concise, historical account follows Anthony from her registration to vote through her trial. Anthony's famous speech "Is it a Crime for a US Citizen to Vote?" is included. As the country approaches the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, which prohibits states from denying or abridging the right to vote on the basis of gender, the case of United States v. Susan B. Anthony remains a significant milestone in the quest for gender equality. Ann D. Gordon is research professor emeritus in the department of history and editor of the papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony at Rutgers University. She wrote The Trial of Susan B. Anthony for the Federal Judicial Center.

Title: History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of John Adams Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Tracey Norman Format: Unabridged Length: 23 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Publisher's Summary: "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever. (John Adams) In Charles River Editors History for Kids series, your children can learn about historys most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kids attention all the way to the end. John Adams has become one of the more popular presidents in history relatively recently, but it was not always so. For most of his life he was seen as a bit of an outsider, different from his fellow first presidents in his temperament, birth, life, and politics. Adams and his son were the only presidents out of the first seven who were born north of the Mason Dixon line, and he was not an easy man to understand or work with. Not only did he have few friends, but he also often fell into long-term quarrels with those he had. Politically, Adams shared Washingtons preference for Britain as well as his preference of noninterference. However, while he was certainly the more significant man in his work and his governing, he could never seem to move out of Washingtons shadow. Even worse, his presidency was seen as threatening to the very essence of American liberty with the Alien and Sedition Acts, and his loss to Jefferson in 1800 was a repudiation of the Federalists that left Jeffersonians in power until John Quincy Adams was elected in 1824. His presidency is still viewed relatively unfavorably.

El espectacular desarrollo de este país se debe a una apertura económica iniciada en los años ochenta, la cual, sin embargo, ha coexistido con un régimen político cerrado, en el cual el único partido existente es el comunista. Por lo demás, hay una ausencia de libertades individuales (como la de expresión) y el país se ha caracterizado por constantes violaciones a los derechos humanos, especialmente en la región del Tíbet. Entre los responsables de sentar las bases para que China sea considerado un país importante en la actualidad uno destaca nítidamente: se trata de Mao Tse Tung, quien gobernó a su país por muchos años.

Title: History for Kids: An Illustrated Biography of Bill Clinton for Children Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Jim D Johnston Format: Unabridged Length: 24 mins Language: English Release date: 12-05-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Publisher's Summary: In Charles River Editors History for Kids series, your children can learn about historys most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kids attention all the way to the end. It would be impossible to sum up the life and legacy of Bill Clinton in one sentence or even one paragraph, as the former president represents many different things to many different people. Indeed, the yin and yang of Clintons life and career are inescapable. Widely hailed as the greatest politician of his era, Clinton proved to be his own worst enemy, creating unnecessary scandals through his womanizing. Clinton was one of the first politicians to truly connect with young adults, yet in the process he provided ludicrous sound bytes like I did not inhale. Long considered the Democratic Partys greatest spokesman and surrogate, Clintons presidency was defined by centrist triangulation. And though he is still publicly popular and considered a great president, Clinton became just the second president to be impeached in the House of Representatives. Regardless of what Americans think of him, one thing Clinton does represent is the American dream. Born to a single mother in Hope, Arkansas, Clinton used his ambition, hard work and intelligence to become a Rhodes scholar. As a teenager, a meeting with President Kennedy helped drive him toward politics, which he pursued after getting his law degree at Yale, where he met future wife Hillary Rodham. Clinton left office with budget surpluses and a high approval rating, despite the never-ending controversies swirling around him, and he has since doubled as a political surrogate.

Title: History for Kids: The Illustrated Life of James Madison Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Jim D Johnston Format: Unabridged Length: 21 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Publisher's Summary: In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. The Founding Fathers have become so revered by Americans in the last 200 years that the "Father of the Constitution" himself is often overlooked among the rest of the pantheon. Today James Madison's legacy mostly pales in comparison to the likes of George Washington, Ben Franklin, and his closest colleague, Thomas Jefferson, but Madison's list of important accomplishments is monumental. A lifelong statesman, Madison was the youngest delegate at the Continental Congress from 1780-83, and at 36 he was one of the youngest men who headed to Philadelphia for the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Despite his age, he was the Convention's most influential thinker, and the man most responsible for the final draft of the US Constitution. Along with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, Madison was one of the most persuasive advocates for ratifying the Constitution, authoring some of the most famous Federalist Papers, and he drafted the Bill of Rights that was later added to the Constitution. Even after that, Madison's work was far from done. Along with Thomas Jefferson, Madison was one of the founders and ideological cornerstones of the Democratic-Republican Party that guided the young nation in the first 30 years of the 19th century. That included his own presidency, during which he oversaw the War of 1812.

Title: Election 2012: The Lives of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Ken Teutsch Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 10-23-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Publisher's Summary: This audiobook comprehensively weaves the lives and careers of both candidates into one entertaining and educational narrative. In November 2012, Americans went to the polls to make yet another historic decision. Their choice was to reelect the nation's first African-American president or to elect the first Mormon president. Though Obama was still young by presidential standards, the biracial native of Hawaii had already traveled a great distance physically and spiritually, learning about himself and discovering his self-identity along the way. After receiving a blue chip education that took him to Harvard Law School and helped him become a law professor and community organizer in Chicago, he began a rapid ascent through state politics to become a US Senator in 2004. In 2012, America's first African-American president, Barack Obama, faced one of the least conventional Republican politicians the country ever had. From his Mormon faith to his governorship of the very blue Massachusetts, Mitt Romney left many on the right wondering whether he possessed the traditional conservative values that they deemed necessary, even as he spent two straight Republican primary seasons burnishing his conservative credentials. On the other side, Romney's political career and ideology led to charges by Democrats that he was a flip-flopper who would take whichever side of an issue was politically expedient at the time. Throw in the fact that many Americans of all political stripes viewed his forthright and serious demeanor as overly wooden and not personable, the very opposite of a natural politician like Bill Clinton, and people unfamiliar with Romney and his career were left wondering how he was on the verge of becoming the next President of the United States. 2012 was just another chapter in the life of "The Turnaround Artist", as he was known at Bain. In many ways, Romney's life and career were a string of surprising successes. Dubbed a stiff, wooden politician, it was Mitt's outgoing personality that won over childhood sweetheart and wife of 40+ years Ann Davies. A jocular prankster in high school, seriousness was instilled in Romney during a mission in France in which he was badly injured in a car crash, with the woman sitting next to him killed in the wreck. Election 2012 looks at the lives and careers of both candidates, but it also humanizes them and looks at their relationships with their wives and families. You will learn about Obama and Romney like you never have before, in no time at all.

Title: History for Kids: A Biography of Harry Truman for Children Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Tracey Norman Format: Unabridged Length: 31 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Publisher's Summary: In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. Among America's presidents, Harry Truman's presidency produced some of the nation's most crucial decisions and left one of the nation's most unique legacies. When President Franklin Roosevelt died in April 1945, Vice President Truman, somewhat unprepared for the Presidency, now had to fill some of the biggest shoes in American history. Incredibly, Truman had not been informed of the country's secret attempt to build atomic bombs, confiding in his diary after learning about it, "We have discovered the most terrible bomb in the history of the world. It may be the fire destruction prophesied in the Euphrates Valley Era, after Noah and his fabulous Ark." The new president had to usher America through victory in Europe in his first month and decide to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki a few months later, but the end of World War II produced only the first of many consequential decisions Truman would face during his nearly eight years in office. As president, Truman would lay the groundwork for the next 50 years of American foreign policy, as the architect of Cold War containment, the man who signed off on the Marshall Plan, and the commander-in-chief during much of the Korean War. He would also be the president who finally integrated the military, a crucial step on the way to full civil rights for the country's minorities. These accomplishments have earned Truman admiration and praise from most historians today, but the Korean War in particular made him especially unpopular during much of his presidency. To this day, his most memorable picture was a byproduct of his upset victory over Dewey in the 1948 election, with Truman holding up a Chicago Tribune newspaper incorrectly asserting, "Dewey Defeats Truman." While Americans today mostly remember that iconic picture and fondly recall "Give 'Em Hell Harry" and his memorable quotes, Truman would actually finish his presidency with historically low approval ratings. History for Kids: An Illustrated Biography of Harry Truman for Children chronicles the amazing life and career of a Midwesterner with humble roots who rose through party politics to become one of the most important presidents of the 20th century. Your kids will learn about Harry Truman like never before.

Johnson for Children Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Tracey Norman Format: Unabridged Length: 32 mins Language: English Release date: 10-02-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Publisher's Summary: In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. Of all the politicians who have left their mark on American history, few have had a political career or list of accomplishments and accolades that can even come close to rivaling Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson is one of only four Americans to serve as a House Rep, US Senator, Vice President, and President, and he made the most out of each experience. The hard-nosed Texas Democrat became one of the legendary strongmen in the Senate, mastering that political body from 1949-1961 and spending six years as Senate Majority Leader, two as Senate Minority Leader, and two as Senate Majority Whip. A fateful chain of events propelled then propelled Johnson from Capitol Hill to the White House. After Johnson's failed run for the Democratic nomination in 1960, winner John F. Kennedy chose Johnson as his running mate over his brother Bobby's objections. Kennedy figured Johnson's Texas roots would help balance Kennedy's decidedly Northeastern appeal, as well as adding a sense of age, experience, and gravitas to the younger Kennedy's campaign. While this was all true and did indeed help Kennedy win the election in 1960, his assassination ultimately brought Johnson to the presidency. Had Johnson's presidency included just his domestic agenda, he would have unquestionably been one of America's greatest presidents. Unfortunately, as he was engineering a new social contract at home, he was ramping up American military participation in a tiny country thousands of miles away in Southeast Asia. For a man who accomplished so much at home, it's ironic and tragic that his presidency and legacy were permanently marred by his escalation in the costly and contentious Vietnam War, a military quagmire and public relations disaster that compelled Johnson not to run for reelection in 1968. History for Kids: A Biography of Lyndon B. Johnson for Children chronicles the amazing life of the president, examines his unprecedented legislative accomplishments, and analyzes the controversial Vietnam War and Johnson's mixed legacy. Your kids will learn about LBJ like never before.

Title: An Illustrated Biography of Samuel Adams for Children Subtitle: History for Kids Author: Charles River Editors Narrator: Tracey Norman Format: Unabridged Length: 23 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-17 Publisher: Charles River Editors Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Political Figures Publisher's Summary: In Charles River Editors' History for Kids series, your children can learn about history's most important people and events in an easy, entertaining, and educational way. The concise but comprehensive book will keep your kid's attention all the way to the end. The American Revolution had no shortage of compelling characters with seemingly larger than life traits, including men like the multi-talented Benjamin Franklin, the wise Thomas Jefferson, the mercurial John Adams, and the stoic George Washington. But no Revolutionary leader has been as controversial as Samuel Adams, who has been widely portrayed over the last two centuries as America's most radical and fiery colonist. Among his contemporaries, Adams was viewed as one of the most influential colonial leaders, a man Thomas Jefferson himself labeled "truly the Man of the Revolution" and the one who the Boston Gazette eulogized as the "Father of the American Revolution." Adams was an outspoken opponent of British taxes in the 1760s, one of Boston's hardest working writers and orators, a leader of the Boston Caucus, active in the Sons of Liberty, and a political leader who organized large gatherings in settings like Faneuil Hall and the Old South Meeting House. When cousin John Adams was an Ambassador to France during the Revolution, he had to explain that he was not the "famous" Adams.
