Nazi Wives

Resumen del Libro

Nazi Wives is a fascinating look at the personal lives, psychological profiles, and marriages of the wives of officers in Hitler's inner circle. Goering, Goebbels, Himmler, Heydrich, Hess, Bormann—names synonymous with power and influence in the Third Reich. Perhaps less familiar are Carin, Emmy, Magda, Margaret, Lina, Ilse and Gerda... These are the women behind the infamous men—complex individuals with distinctive personalities who were captivated by Hitler and whose everyday lives were governed by Nazi ideology. Throughout the rise and fall of Nazism these women loved and lost, raised families and quarreled with their husbands and each other, all the while jostling for position with the Fuhrer himself. Until now, they have been treated as minor characters, their significance ignored, as if they were unaware of their husbands' murderous acts, despite the evidence that was all around them: the stolen art on their walls, the slave labor in their homes, and the produce grown in concentration camps on their tables. James Wyllie's Nazi Wives explores these women in detail for the first time, skillfully interweaving their stories through years of struggle, power, decline and destruction into the post-war twilight of denial and delusion.

La Pelota

En un fascinante recorrido de 220 páginas, a través de una selección de más de 300 imágenes de 65 archivos de América, Europa y Asia, la Federación Mexicana de Fútbol se propuso celebrar de forma inédita y lúdica una de las grandes aportaciones de México a la humanidad: la pelota.

Las artes decorativas medievales

Los objetos realizados para el placer de reyes, nobles, comerciantes e incluso de la gente corriente ofrecen fascinantes testimonios de las modas y pasatiempos de la vida medieval. El amor cortés, la heráldica, los banquetes, la caza y la agricultura proporcionaron buenos temas decorativos. Los cacharros diseñados para comer o beber a menudo estaban decorados con inscripciones, o bien modelados en forma de rostro humano o de caballero. Las bestias del bosque, representadas en el famoso cuerno de Savernake, contrastan con las escenas y símbolos de amor que aparecen tanto en arquetas...
