La carrière de médecin et de biologiste d’Auguste PRENANT (1861-1927) le place aux origines de la médecine moderne, fondée sur l’étude des organes, des tissus et de l’organisation cellulaire des êtres vivants, et au sommet de la vie scientifique de son temps. Se concevant comme un serviteur de ses semblables, singulièrement les moins reconnus, Auguste PRENANT fut, toute sa vie durant, à cause de ses engagements sociaux et politiques déterminés, en porte-à-faux vis-à-vis de l’élite universitaire et scientifique. Sa vie incarne un exemple marquant d’intellectuel habité par un « sentiment de révolte existentielle contre la société ».

Les héritiers de nos empires de Jacques Didier Lavenir MVOM explore l’histoire des grands empires précoloniaux d’Afrique de l’Ouest — Ghana, Mali et Songhaï — pour éclairer les enjeux contemporains de souveraineté et d’unité africaine. L’auteur analyse comment ces empires, riches et organisés, ont été démantelés par la colonisation, puis comment leurs héritiers modernes, notamment les forces militaires et politiques de l’Alliance des États du Sahel (AES), revendiquent aujourd’hui cet héritage pour construire une Afrique indépendante et fière.L’ouvrage retrace les résistances africaines face à l’humiliation coloniale et interroge les stratégies de domination occidentales, tout en soulignant l’urgence d’une renaissance panafricaine. À travers une documentation rigoureuse et un regard critique, Dr MVOM appelle à une réappropriation de l’histoire et des valeurs africaines pour inspirer un futur libéré des chaînes néocoloniales. Un essai percutant qui lie passé glorieux et luttes actuelles pour l’émancipation du continent.

L'histoire des amnisties politiques en Europe se présente comme celle de processus juridiques qui, par l'impératif d'oubli, empêchent rancunes et rancoeur d'empoisonner le présent de l'histoire. Fortes de cette approche, ces contributions mettent à l'épreuve plusieurs situations présentes en Europe. La non amnistie des "années de plomb" en Italie empoisonne-t-elle le présent ? A contrario, en France, l'amnistie d'événements comme la collaboration et la guerre d'Algérie n'a-t-elle pas laissé des traces d'illégitimité pour avoir masqué la vérité historique.

"From Homer to Hatzi-Yavrouda – Aspects of Oral Narration in the Greek Tradition" provides a multidisciplinary discussion of the concept of orality in the framework of Greek narrative tradition, from Antiquity to the 21st century. Orality is a prominent concept in contemporary folkloristics, philology, and other related fields and a basic concept for the study of culture in a historical and critical perspective. Its definition has long been debated, as has its communicative value and use. This volume presents different perspectives and academic fields (classics, byzantine studies, folklore studies, comparative literature) and discusses topics such as interrelationship with written literature, cross-cultural and trans-historical influences, different genres, as well as specific narrators and their role in their communities. Orality is viewed as a tool for research, a body of texts, an entity of vernacular practices, or as a series of communication strategies. The Greek tradition is taken as a point of departure for a diachronic analysis of orality, from Homer to the female storyteller, Hatzi-Yavrouda from Kos. It is the hope that the analysis of the Greek case will contribute to discussions about the concept on a larger scale. This volume also shows that orality, both in its old and new forms, is continuously present in modern and post-modern discourse and still dominates everyday communication, despite our growing dependence on digital and iconic universes.

"Viking Age Aristocratic Residences in Northern Europe" explores the dynamic political and social landscapes of Northern Europe from AD 600 to 1000. This comprehensive volume delves into the aristocratic centres that played a pivotal role in shaping the Viking Age, offering fresh perspectives on royal power, landscape of power, defence, and societal organization. Featuring new archaeological data from major sites like Erritsø, Munkebo Bakke, BirkaKorshamn, Borre, Tinghaug, Rendelsham etc. it challenges traditional views on Viking Age kingdoms and their rulers, proposing a nuanced understanding of itinerant kingship local differences and its impact on local and regional governance. Bringing together leading scholars from across Europe, this anthology uncovers the multifunctionality and strategic importance of these sites, revealing their role not just in local defence but also in the collection of tribute, production of luxury goods, and as centres of political and ritual activities. Drawing parallels with Anglo-Saxon England and the Carolingian Empire, the book widens the concept of aristocratic power in the Viking Age. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in Viking Age archaeology, medieval history, and the intricate connections between geography, power, and society in Northern Europe.

Le Xe siècle, marqué par une rupture dynastique, voit les Carolingiens céder la place aux Capétiens, transition cruciale pour l’histoire des Francs en Francie occidentale. Cette période, riche en vicissitudes, offre une perspective idéale pour analyser la distribution du pouvoir entre le roi et l’aristocratie à l’aube de l’an mille. Le rex Francorum, réduit à un rôle symbolique, lutte pour préserver son autorité, tandis que le dux Francorum prend progressivement le contrôle. En Germanie, la dynastie ottonienne, issue des Ludolphides saxons, devient la force dominante en Occident. Elle étend son influence, contrastant avec les crises internes des derniers Carolingiens.Ce tournant décisif de l’histoire européenne témoigne d’une royauté privée de son éclat d’antan, où le pouvoir royal dépend davantage de la stratégie que de la légitimité dynastique. Ce livre plonge le lecteur dans ce crépuscule du haut Moyen Âge, s’appuyant sur des témoignages clés : Richer de Saint-Rémi de Reims, auteur de l’Historia Francorum, et la Correspondance de Gerbert d’Aurillac, futur pape Sylvestre II, apportent des perspectives sur les réalités sociales et politiques de l’époque.

La connaissance du passé, l’expérience du présent et la projection vers un futur, souvent données comme déterminant le temps historique, tendent aujourd’hui à être vidées de leur substance. Depuis les années 1980, la politique du capital s’applique à liquider toute possibilité de surgissement d’un événement, pris au sens fort de discontinuité historique. Le passé est lu et lissé au présent et le futur est privé de tout caractère utopique.À travers une approche critique des moments politiques cruciaux des dernières décennies et de leurs diverses théorisations, l’auteur propose ici une élucidation des impasses auxquelles ont conduit, d’un côté, les idées dites post-modernes autour de la notion de fin de l’histoire, et de l’autre, l’abandon de l’analyse dialectique. Clarification susceptible de permettre de se projeter du présent vers l’avenir, y compris à travers les ruses de l’histoire.

The true story of "Mob Adjacent: A Family Memoir" follows an ordinary family's extraordinary life under the protection of the infamous Chicago Outfit. Take an acid trip down memory lane with brothers Jeffrey and Michael Gentile, Jr. as they discover a parallel world hidden behind a suburban facade. For them, "The Wonder Years" collides with "The Sopranos." Hoodlums and gangsters filter in and out of their lives and home and easily as the milkman and the mailman. In their world, the guy who robs the bakery is as respected as the guy who bakes the bread. Blame it on the company they keep. Their father grew up among the next generation of post-Capone Chicago mobsters and kept them as trusted friends and honorary uncles to his children for the rest of his life. Mike Gentile, Sr. wasn’t IN the mob, but he was NEAR it – mob adjacent. "Mob Adjacent: A Family Memoir" presents a who’s who of Chicago crime bosses – Tony Accardo, Frank Nitti, Sam Giancana, Joe Lombardo, and an assortment of hoodlums, gangsters, bone breakers, loan sharks, and second-story guys, with celebrity cameo appearances by Frank Sinatra, Leo Durocher, Jackie Gleason, Art Carney, Joan Collins, Liza Minnelli, and Elizabeth Taylor. For the Gentile brothers, living mob adjacent delivers benefits and teaches lessons. Grab a front- row seat to as much real-life mob drama as a Martin Scorsese/Francis Ford Coppola movie marathon.“A fascinating book…a fascinating read. Mob Adjacent will open your eyes.” – Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune“You cannot put it down. You want a Netflix series, this is it.” -- Roe Conn, WGN Radio“These stories by the Gentile brothers deserve the full cinematic treatment. Mob Adjacent is the real deal.” – Gino Cafarelli, Filmmaker, Author, Actor

For more than 200 years, Egypt's ancient monuments have fascinated researchers and curiosity seekers worldwide. From small children's mummies to colossal pyramids, every archaeological find has been scrutinised to unravel the mysteries of one of the world's oldest civilisations. Initially, investigations were conducted with digging spoons, brushes, and meticulous archaeological methods. In recent years, advanced scanning and DNA analysis have been employed. Despite diligent research, definitive answers to the enigmas left behind by the empire along the Nile, which collapsed almost 2,000 years ago, still need to be discovered. Hence, scientists continue to search for answers to how the Egyptian empire came into existence, who built the pyramids, and whether Cleopatra was murdered.World History invites you on a fascinating journey to bygone eras, allowing you to explore the greatest events in history. Take a trip back in time - to the frontlines of World War 2, to the Viking raids, and to the religious rituals of ancient Egypt.

As World War II raged across the Russian steppes, in Africa and especially in the skies over Europe, elite German and Soviet forces fought a bitter battle in an isolated northern corner of Europe. Here, the battle was for control of the ice-free port of Murmansk, where the Soviet Union received convoy after convoy loaded with British and American tanks, guns, fuel, small arms, food and aircraft. Supplies from the Allied convoys kept the Soviet Union alive at a critical time during the early stages of the war, and Hitler therefore tried every means to stop the convoys. At the beginning of the campaign against the Soviet Union, he hoped to capture Murmansk and thus weaken his archenemy. Later, when he realised that fighting in the barren, mountainous terrain of the north was unwinnable, he set his sights on destroying the convoys. The Luftwaffe and U-boats attacked the Allied sailors throughout the perpetual daylight of polar summer while crushing ice and raging storms threatened during the dark winter months. The men aboard the Arctic convoys dreaded the voyages, and it was with good reason that the crews dubbed them “suicide convoys”. If they fell overboard in a storm, a quick death awaited them in the icy sea, and if the ships’ holds, filled with fuel and ammunition, were hit by a torpedo or a bomb, everything exploded in a sea of flames.The Arctic convoy trips and the fighting on the Northern Front challenged some of the war’s toughest men. Read their stories here.World History invites you on a fascinating journey to bygone eras, allowing you to explore the greatest events in history.

In the dead of night in 1894, a trembling, wide-eyed 13-year-old boy assisted with his first surgery--an experience that changed his life. Robert H. Wright attended medical school, then returned home to Hailey, Idaho, to marry Cynthia Beamer, his childhood sweetheart, and to practice in the frontier west--a choice that required both rugged courage and devoted compassion. Called to risk his own life on multiple occasions, he remained composed during a crisis, and his gentle confidence calmed traumatized victims. At times, he performed operations by lantern light and traveled by buggy, dog sled, or Studebaker to reach remote patients. In 1917, he led the rescue effort at the North Star mine avalanche disaster.Eventually, the doctor welcomed a grandson, also named Robert Wright, who eagerly absorbed thrilling tales of a pioneer past. Yet despite their close relationship, the younger Wright sensed mysterious secrets and unspoken heartbreak, and he began to probe for the untold stories. In Rugged Mercy, he unravels and celebrates the lives of his beloved grandparents. Alternating between accounts of the doctor’s decades of medicine and his own memories of growing up in Hailey, the author provides an intimate glimpse of challenges faced by rural physicians in the first half of the 1900s, of significant events in the history and evolution of the Wood River Valley and Sun Valley resort, and of family life in a small Idaho community.

The story of the infamous murder and robbery of Lewiston merchant Lloyd Magruder and his companions during the 1860s gold rush is legendary in Montana, Idaho, and Washington. Ladd Hamilton constructs a compelling account of the destruction of Magruder's pack train while traveling on the Southern Nez Perce Trail in the Bitterroot Mountains, and the subsequent quest by Magruder's friend Hill Beachey to track his killers to San Francisco, escort them back to Lewiston, and then protect them from lynching until they could be tried in Idaho Territory.By appraising written evidence and community lore, Hamilton has created an intriguing account based on fact and documentation. But he also blends in historical fiction when required to complement the narrative in those places where events are known to have occurred but the historical sources are sparse or virtually nonexistent. Underlying Hamilton's work is his exact and familiar knowledge of early Idaho Territory, which in 1863 stretched hundreds of miles from Lewiston at the Snake-Clearwater confluence to the gold camps of Virginia City, Bannack, and beyond in what is now Montana.Hamilton's imaginative characterizations of Magruder, Beachey, outlaw sheriff Henry Plummer, and the large cast of other historical figures in Idaho, Montana, and California is based on his years of knowing many and varied peoples of the West.

À travers l’histoire qui leur est enseignée à l’école, les Malgaches pensent tout connaître sur les péripéties de l’accession de Madagascar à l’indépendance. Ils croient ainsi que l’autodétermination a été « donnée » par la France au profit des structures et des hommes politiques qui lui étaient acquis. Ainsi, les nationalistes historiques auraient été « victimes » d’une manœuvre éhontée de la puissance colonisatrice.Pourtant, cette image d’Épinal est un peu trop simpliste. Une analyse approfondie des jeux politiques dans les années 1940 et 1950 permet en effet de la nuancer fortement. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les militants nationalistes estimaient qu’ils bénéficiaient d’une légitimité naturelle leur permettant d’hériter du pouvoir après le départ des colonisateurs. Cela explique largement leur division. Alors affaiblis, ils ont vu le pouvoir leur échapper durant la Première République.Leurs activités politiques ont été à l’origine de la « culture politique unioniste », qui est aujourd’hui celle de tous les opposants politiques malgaches.

From postwar debates on institutionalised cooperation in Western Europe to the ambitions of the European Union in the post-Cold War era, this volume investigates the impact of socialist networks on European construction and integration, and the role of European socialism in international (dis)orders. It assesses how socialist networks were influenced by relations with socialist parties and groups outside Europe, and how they navigated local, national and global politics. Collectively, the chapters explore four main areas: the relationship between the ideals of European cooperation and daily, routine and domestic politics; the shifting definitions of political elites and popular understandings of Europe, including the influence of people of African, Caribbean and Asian descent on the transformation of socialist thought, policies and practices in the European (ex-) imperial powers; the extent to which European socialists attempted to propose a postcolonial, postimperial agenda for Europe; and how European institutions were used, and with what results, by socialists and their contacts.Reflecting on the successes and failures of transnational processes of socialisation, the role of cultural intermediaries and bridge-builders, and the reasons behind misunderstandings, failed projects and missed opportunities for peace and equality, the book examines how socialist politicians and activists conceived of Europe’s role in worldmaking in the transition out of conflict and empire. In doing so, the volume contributes to a better understanding of, and support for, cooperation across borders. Introduction Mélanie Torrent and Andrew J. Williams Part I.
