Esta novela esta escrita en forma de recuerdos. Recuerdos imaginarios que, sin embargo, podrian haber sido la evocacion de una posible realidad si los sucesos imprevisibles de una guerra cruenta, no hubieran obligado a una diaspora no deseada a muchas familias que habitaban en el Pais Vasco. En estas letras, se mezclan memorias veridicas con biografias ficticias. Cada lector es libre de escoger aquellas por las que sienta mas afecto o con las que mejor se identifique. En una novela siempre esta mezclada la realidad con la ficcion, esta, no ha de ser menos. LA AUTORA.

Teenagers Bradley Featherstone and Ida Mae McLeod are in love... or so it seems. Ida's father, Angus, has vetoed the marriage until his daughter is older. Bradley faces the draft for the Civil War when his father Henry decides to take Homestead Act land in Oregon. They leave Ohio by canal boat and embark upon a long journey across the country by river and by land-without Ida Mae. Rufus Lindsay is also interested in Ida Mae but waits until Bradley is out of the picture to pop the question. But Rufus has a second interest. So does his mother. Both involve Albert Bartlett, the banker. Sarah Pearson, the "Whispering Wind of Massillon" is busy collecting stories and seeing that the appropriate people are hearing them. But she doesn't know that someone on the boat has offered to marry Bradley. Or that Bradley has been shanghaied into the Union Army. Or that the Featherstone family has missed the boat that will take them west to the departure point of the wagon train. Both experience some extraordinary things before they meet again... and when they meet.... Well, let's just say it doesn't quite happen the way you'd expect. This is a mid-19th century story of love denied, ambition, deception, war, intrigue, accomplishment, and a twist you didn't see coming.
Auguste Blanqui and the Politics of Popular Empowerment
Few individuals made such an impact on nineteenth-century French politics as Louis-Auguste Blanqui (1805-1881). Political organiser, leader, propagandist and prisoner, Blanqui was arguably the foremost proponent of popular power to emerge after the French Revolution. Practical engagement in all the major uprisings that spanned the course of his life – 1830, 1848, 1870-71 – was accompanied by theoretical reflections on a broad range of issues, from free will and fatalism to public education and individual development. Since his death, however, Blanqui has not been simply overlooked or neglected; his name has widely become synonymous with theoretical misconception and practical misadventure.Auguste Blanqui and the Politics of Popular Empowerment offers a major re-evaluation of one the most controversial figures in the history of revolutionary politics. The book draws extensively on Blanqui's manuscripts and published works, as well as writings only recently translated into English for the first time. Through a detailed reconstruction and critical analysis of Blanqui's political thought, it challenges the prevailing image of an unthinking insurrectionist and rediscovers a forceful and compelling theory of collective political action and radical social change. It suggests that some of Blanqui's fundamental assumptions – from the insistence on the primacy of subjective determination to the rejection of historical necessity – are still relevant to politics today.

Told through the eyes of witnesses to the fall of Kabul, Walkley award-winning journalist Andrew Quilty's debut book offers a remarkable record of this historic moment.As night fell on 15 August 2021, the Taliban entered Kabul, capital of Afghanistan. After a 20-year conflict with the United States, its Western allies and a proxy Afghan government, the Islamic militant group once aligned with al Qaeda was about to bury yet another foreign foe in the graveyard of empires. And for the US, world superpower, this was yet another foreign disaster. As cities and towns fell to the Taliban in rapid succession, Western troops and embassy staff scrambled to flee a country of which its government had lost control. August in Kabul is the story of how America's longest mission came to an abrupt and humiliating end, told through the eyes of Afghans whose lives have been turned upside down: a young woman who harbours dreams of a university education; a presidential staffer who works desperately to hold things together as the government collapses around him; a prisoner in the notorious Bagram Prison who suddenly finds himself free when prison guards abandon their post. Andrew Quilty was one of only a handful of Western journalists who stayed in Kabul as the city fell. This is his first-hand account of those dramatic final days.

George M ller was eleven years old when the Franco-Prussian War erupted in Alsace in August 1870. As an adult, he published this skillfully woven narrative, taken from the people who lived those memorable days. Meet Cherry Toni and Brigadier Hecker, who are convinced the Frenchies can't lose. And the plundering Bavarian soldiers stationed in George's small village. Follow the wagoners as they supply the battlefields, transport wounded, and bury the battlefield dead. Marvel at the pre-teen author's First Trip for the Fatherland. First published in 1894, this first English edition includes more than 100 vintage illustrations and a brief introduction.
