1000 tulosta hakusanalla Ho Che Anderson
Ho Chi Minh (1890-1969), real name Nguyen Tat Thanh, was a Vietnamese Communist leader and the principal force behind the Vietnamese struggle against French colonial rule and American imperialism. Contained in this volume is a selection of his most important works. These works span a lifetime of struggle.
Ho Chi Minh is one of the towering figures of the twentieth century, considered an icon and father of the nation by many Vietnamese. Pierre Brocheux's biography of Ho Chi Minh is a brilliant feat of historical engineering. In a concise and highly readable account, he negotiates the many twists and turns of Ho Chi Minh's life and his multiple identities, from impoverished beginnings as a communist revolutionary to his founding of the Indochina Communist Party and the League for the Independence of Vietnam and ultimately to his leadership of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and his death in 1969. Biographical events are adroitly placed within the broader historical canvas of colonization, decolonization, communism war, and nation building. Brocheux's vivid and convincing portrait of Ho Chi Minh goes further than any previous biography in explaining both the myth and the man, as well as the times in which he was situated.
It was the trial of a century in colonial Hong Kong when, in 1931–33, Ho Chi Minh - the future President of Vietnam - faced down deportation to French-controlled territory with a death sentence dangling over him. Thanks to his appeal to English common law, Ho Chi Minh won his reprieve. With extradition a major political issue in Hong Kong today, Geoffrey C. Gunn's examination of the legal case of Ho Chi Minh offers a timely insight into the rule of law and the issue of extradition in the former British colony. Utilizing little known archival material, Gunn sheds new light on Ho Chi Minh, communist and anti-colonial networks and Franco–British relations.

In una sera d'inizio primavera, l'esuberante e vulcanica diciassettenne Nadia e l'amica del cuore Alessandra, si allenano fra le fredde e rappezzate mura del vecchio palestrone del paese. La passione per il loro sport, la pallavolo, e la loro innata complicit portano le due giovani a restare in campo ben oltre l'orario previsto. Il richiamo con cui il burbero custode dell'impianto, Antonio, le invita a raggiungere le compagne nello spogliatoio, riporta le due ragazze, alla realt , al presente, quasi a risvegliarle da un sogno. Nadia, per , non ha alcuna intenzione di smettere di sognare e quell'ordine, "muovetevi, a cambiarvi", diventa il pretesto per coinvolgere l'uomo, suo malgrado, in una scommessa che ha il sapore di una romantica promessa, di un sogno. Un sogno da realizzare, troppo grande per non essere condiviso, troppo bello per non essere inseguito. Un sogno da vivere per comprendere la pi bella fra le lezioni della vita: l'importanza di... imparare a sognare.
