Although Lincoln’s adult life as president, statesman, and savior of the Union has been well documented and analyzed, most biographers have regarded his early years as inconsequential to his career and accomplishments. But in 1920, a group of historians known as the Lincoln Inquiry were determined to give Lincoln’s formative years their due. Abe’s Youth takes a look into their writings, which focus on Lincoln’s life between seven and 21 years of age.

"L’Emperador" recull una historia fascinant sobre l’emperador Haile Selassie d’Etiòpia, el suposat descendent directe de Salomó, que va governar el país com a monarca absolut durant mig segle, fins que el 1974 va ser derrocat per un consell revolucionari. Es presenta com un senyor feudal que és amo de tot, fins i tot de vides i sentiments, i tot un personatge misteriós per descobrir. És un rei bo i just amb el poble? O més aviat és un pallasso esperpèntic? O potser un dement que ignora el món que l’envolta i la situació que viu el país?

Alone among world leaders, Vladimir Putin has the power to reduce the United States and Europe to ashes in a nuclear firestorm and has threatened to do so. He invades his neighbours, most recently Ukraine, meddles in Western elections and orders assassinations inside and outside Russia. The regime he heads is autocratic and corrupt. Yet many Russians continue to support him. Despite Western sanctions, the majority have been living better than at any time in the past. By fair means or foul, under Putin's leadership, Russia has once again become a force to be reckoned with.

Abraham Lincoln called "Billy" Herndon “my man always above all other men on the globe". After Lincoln's assassination, Herndon and co-author Jesse Weik conducted many interviews with Lincoln's family and friends for this biography. The result - although not without flaws - has been recognized as one of the most important biographies of the Great Emancipator ever published. This volume covers the period of Lincoln's life in New Salem, Illinois, as a young man, through his love affair with Ann Rutledge, becoming a lawyer, his marriage to Mary Todd, and service in Congress.

The framers of the Constitution were in uncharted territory when they created the office of the presidency. No one at that time had a clear vision of what the president of a national republic would do, and only the vaguest notion existed when George Washington took the oath in 1789. For nearly 250 years, our elected Presidents have played a role in shaping what the office has become. Thomas Jefferson described the presidency as a “splendid misery,” John Quincy Adams felt it was “harassing,” and Warren Harding said simply, “It’s hell!"

In 1784, Thomas Jefferson was a broken man. Reeling from the loss of his wife and stung from a political scandal during the Revolutionary war, he needed to remake himself. Wandering through Europe, Jefferson saw and learned as much as he could, ultimately bringing his knowledge home to a young America. There, he would rise to power and shape a nation. More than two hundred years later, Derek Baxter, a devotee of American history, stumbles on an obscure travel guide written by Jefferson—Hints for Americans Traveling Through Europe—as he's going through his own personal crisis.

Truman, probably the most important president of the last 75 years, telling the story of his life, his presidency, and some of the most important years in American history.

In a little-noted eulogy delivered after Lincoln's assassination, Frederick Douglass called the president "emphatically the black man's president," the "first to show any respect for their rights as men." Douglass pointed not just to Lincoln's official acts and utterances, like the Emancipation Proclamation or the Second Inaugural Address, but also to the president's own personal experiences with Black people.
