Very well narrated. Humanistic approach to the excesses of religious colonization.

Insightful chronological perspective and historical background that makes one understand the motives and errors of the explores and their religious and commercially ambitious drive.

Historia
From the earliest recorded history of the Russian state, its people have sought to define their place in the world. And while many of us look to make sense of Russia through its political history, in many ways a real grasp of this awe-inspiring country comes from looking closely at its cultural achievements. The 24 lectures of Understanding Russia: A Cultural History survey hundreds of years of Russian culture, from the world of Ivan the Terrible to the dawn of the Soviet Union to the post-war tensions of Putin’s Russia.

For someone with little knowledge of the history of Russia, I found this course very interesting and well delivered. It surveys the major times and events, focusing on political, artistic and literary characters that have shaped the history and culture of this important region.

Historia
When it appeared in 1670, Baruch Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise was denounced as the most dangerous book ever published. In A Book Forged in Hell, Steven Nadler tells the fascinating story of this extraordinary book: its radical claims and their background in the philosophical, religious, and political tensions of the Dutch Golden Age, as well as the vitriolic reaction these ideas inspired.

Historia
L'Algérie dont est originaire sa famille n'a longtemps été pour Naïma qu'une toile de fond sans grand intérêt. Pourtant, dans une société française traversée par les questions identitaires, tout semble vouloir la renvoyer à ses origines. Mais quel lien pourrait-elle avoir avec une histoire familiale qui jamais ne lui a été racontée ? Son grand-père Ali, un montagnard kabyle, est mort avant qu'elle ait pu lui demander pourquoi l'Histoire avait fait de lui un "harki".

The One Art
Revisado: 08-31-22
A good narration of Algeria’s traumatic independence war, and it’s consequences. The progressive strangeness of several generations from a cause, an identity, a language, a country. The novel is well written and makes you understand the conflict of those that leave their homeland behind. Good reader.

Historia
Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West but worldwide.

Exciting, interesting, essential
Revisado: 07-11-22
This is an essential book to get a clear perspective of where we stand in relation to human progress. It is a defense of reason, and of the values of the Enlightenment, which have propelled over the years an improvement of our condition, rights and dignity in a complex world, still full of superstition, tyrannical influences and ignorance. Sound arguments that captivate your interest.
Very well performed.

Important Work
Revisado: 10-23-20
This novel, very much based on real events that have taken place in the Spanish Basque Country during the last decades, present a compelling portrait of the life of victims of terrorism, and of the motivation, drive and defeat of the spirit of a criminal organization that impregnated the everyday life of some villages.
The novel is a first attempt to delve into the psychology of victims and perpetrators in a context that justified the unjustifiable. A very important work that brings light to an obscure period of recent history.
The novel is exceptionally read by Juan Magraner.
