San Pedro es una de las figuras más destacadas del cristianismo, uno de los Doce Apóstoles y líder de la Iglesia primitiva. Aparece en los cuatro evangelios del Nuevo Testamento y en los Hechos de los Apóstoles. Según las enseñanzas cristianas tradicionales, San Pedro murió crucificado en Roma bajo el gobierno del emperador Nerón. Muchas iglesias antiguas lo veneran como santo principal y fundador de la Iglesia de Antioquía y Roma, y Jesús le prometió una posición especial dentro de su Iglesia. El Nuevo Testamento muestra su influencia a través de la predicación y los relatos de testigos oculares, mientras que también aparece en varias obras apócrifas como los Hechos de Pedro y el Evangelio de Pedro. Aunque los historiadores protestantes sugieren que no fue hasta más tarde cuando las congregaciones locales fueron dirigidas por obispos, las enseñanzas católicas y ortodoxas creen que fueron guiadas por el propio San Pedro antes de este periodo de tiempo. Yendo más atrás en la historia, Ireneo explica cómo el apóstol Pablo fundó y organizó la primera Iglesia en Roma junto con San Pedro, que sigue siendo una figura importante para muchas personas hoy en día debido a su significativo impacto en el crecimiento del cristianismo a lo largo de la historia.

Die eindringliche und bewegende Autobiographie eines furchtlosen Oppositionsführers, der den höchsten Preis für seine Überzeugungen zahlen musste.Nawalny begann mit der Arbeit an PATRIOTim Jahr 2020, kurz nach dem Giftanschlag auf ihn. Es ist die umfassende Geschichte seines Lebens: seine Jugend, seine Berufung zum Aktivisten, seine Ehe und Familie sowie sein Einsatz für Demokratie und Freiheit in Russland angesichts einer Supermacht, die ihn unbedingt zum Schweigen bringen will. PATRIOT zeigt Nawalnys absolute Überzeugung: Der Wandel ist nicht aufzuhalten. Er wird kommen. Anschaulich und mit spannenden Details, einschließlich bislang unveröffentlichter Aufzeichnungen aus dem Gefängnis, schildert Nawalny seinen politischen Werdegang, die zahlreichen Anschläge auf ihn und seine Vertrauten und die hartnäckigen Kampagnen, die er und sein Team gegen das zunehmend diktatorische Regime zu führen wagten. Nawalnys Witwe, Julija Nawalnaja, sagt: "Dieses Buch ist nicht nur das Zeugnis von Alexejs Leben, sondern auch von seinem standhaften Kampf gegen die Diktatur - ein Kampf, für den er alles gab, einschließlich sein Leben. Die Leser werden den Mann kennenlernen, den ich zutiefst geliebt habe - einen Mann von umfassender Integrität und unbeugsamem Mut. Seine Geschichte wird nicht nur sein Andenken ehren, sondern auch andere Menschen inspirieren, sich für das Richtige einzusetzen und nie die Werte aus den Augen zu verlieren, die wirklich zählen."Geschrieben mit der Leidenschaft, dem Esprit, der Aufrichtigkeit und dem Wagemut, für die er zu Recht bewundert wurde, ist PATRIOT Nawalnys Abschiedsbrief an die Welt: eine bewegende Darstellung seiner letzten Jahre, die er im brutalsten Gefängnis der Welt verbrachte, eine Mahnung, warum die Grundsätze der individuellen Freiheit so wichtig sind, und ein mitreißender Aufruf, das Werk fortzuführen, für das er sein Leben gab.

From the legendary Pentagon Papers whistleblower and anti-war activist-a posthumous collection of Daniel Ellsberg's previously unpublished writings that offers a window into his courageous life, work, and most deeply held beliefs.<BR><BR>When Daniel Ellsberg passed away in 2023 at the age of ninety-two, his lifelong commitment to nuclear disarmament and truth-telling at the highest levels of government enshrined him as one of the most courageous patriots America has ever seen. From his role in leaking the Pentagon Papers in 1971, for which he was charged with multiple felonies under the Espionage Act, to his anti-war activism and writings in the decades that followed, his effects on American nuclear policy, peacemaking efforts, and information politics cannot be overstated.<BR><BR>Yet the principles he stood on remain more urgent than ever, as catastrophic wars break out and political unrest throws into question the authority of democracy and governments across the world. Truth and Consequence-edited by his son, Michael Ellsberg, and his longtime assistant Jan R. Thomas-captures Ellsberg's lifelong preoccupations with the problem of evil, the massacre of civilians, the threat of nuclear annihilation, the dangers of unquestioned obedience, and the necessity to cultivate empathy for those whom we have been taught to see as enemies.<BR><BR>In this posthumous collection of previously unpublished writing, including autobiographical and personal essays, manifestos, and reportage, Ellsberg's ideas burst from the page with acerbic critique and powerful introspection, cementing him as one of the most heroic champions of truth in American history. Truth and Consequence does not equivocate about the bedrock convictions we must continue to uphold in his wake: freedom, integrity, and, above all, truth.

This “indispensable new book that belongs on the shelf of every American woman” (Sally Jenkins, author of The Right Call) is a comprehensive oral history of the decade that defined the feminist movement, including interviews with living icons and unsung heroes—from the author of the “powerful and moving” (The New York Times) Witness to the Revolution.<BR><BR>Through the captivating individual voices of the people who lived it, The Movement tells the intimate inside story of what it felt like to be at the forefront of the modern feminist crusade, when women rejected thousands of years of custom and demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed to be.<BR><BR>“Rollicking good fun, deftly arranged, and downright exhilarating” (The New York Times), The Movement traces women’s awakening, organizing, and agitating between the years of 1963 and 1973, when a diverse collection of people and events coalesced to create a spontaneous combustion. From Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique to the underground abortion network the Janes, to Shirley Chisholm’s presidential campaign and Billie Jean King’s 1973 battle of the sexes, Bingham artfully weaves together the fragments of that explosion person by person, bringing to life the emotions of this personal, cultural, and political revolution. Artists and politicians, athletes and lawyers, Black and white, The Movement brings us into the rooms where these women insisted on being treated as first class citizens, and in the process, changed the fabric of American life.

From the author of the groundbreaking exposé Gomorrah comes a book that encourages and challenges the people to stand up for themselves and to not be fooled by the coercive nature of political power. <BR> <BR>Featuring short biographical sketches of a surprising mix of admired and deplored figures and works from history, this is a book that demands of readers to open one’s eyes and be outraged.<BR><BR>The iconic Italian author Roberto Saviano’s latest work of nonfiction is an urgent cry for people to stand up for themselves and the things they believe in, featuring those who have most inspired him—Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, Martin Luther King Jr., the Calipygian Venus, immortalized in marble—alongside those whose actions were most deplorable—Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and Rwandan radio host Kantano Habimana, who encouraged the 1993-’94 genocide there.<BR><BR>Saviano quotes the Italian author and Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi: “I write what I wouldn’t be able to tell anyone.” Saviano, like Levi, embraces his readers within a similar protective halo of intimacy, taking us in his arms to warn us.<BR><BR>Other lives and works that Saviano evokes in Shout It Out! are<BR>Hypatia, the murdered Alexandrian philosopher, mathematician and astronomer; political theorist Carl Schmitt; trailblazing Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya; Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi; NSA Whistleblower Edward Snowden; 16th century astrology and alchemist Giordano Bruno, burned at the stake by the Inquisition in 1600; Russian poet Anna Akhmatova who chose silence rather than collaboration; Émile Zola; the Brothers Grimm; Martin Luther King; murdered anti-corruption activist Daphne Caruana Galizia; the ancient roman statue of the Callipygian Venus; Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan); American actress Jean Seberg; Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini; Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels; Rwandan radio host Kantano Habimana; Settimia Spizzichino, one of 50 from the Rome ghetto sent to Auschwitz, and the only survivor; Chinese poet and factory worker Lizhi Xu; Italian-American saint Sister Francesca Saverio Cabrini; Italian architect and London fire victim Gloria Trevisan; George Floyd.<BR><BR>Shout It Out dives into world history—and Roberto Saviano’s mind—in a way that constantly surprises.

"Campbell’s book achieves transcendence ... and establishes [Hite] as a character not frivolous but extraordinary." —Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times<BR> <BR>Come and meet Shere Hite—the feminist hero whose notorious work revolutionized how we think about sex, marriage, and the female orgasm...<BR><BR>Despite being one of the leading thinkers of the second wave feminist movement, today Shere Hite is little known, little written about, and, unsurprisingly, little read. Her groundbreaking book, The Hite Report, was the first feminist exploration of the link between sex and male power. It sold millions of copies when first published in 1976 and revolutionized the way people thought about marriage and the female orgasm. How, then, did it, and Hite, disappear from public consciousness? <BR><BR>Using original research material and sharp cultural analysis, Rosa Campbell explores Hite’s complicated life and literary legacy. Campbell expands on Hite’s ideas about sex — namely, that sex is sexist — and tracks Hite through her fraught childhood, her struggles working in the porn industry, and her eventual cancellation by the far-right Evangelical movement. All the while, Campbell holds Hite and The Hite Report to account for their own failings and absence of intersectionality. <BR><BR>In a post-Dobbs, post-MeToo world, this book’s examination of shifting ideological movements is essential to understanding both the current feminist movement, as well as how conservative, reactionary, counter-mobilization efforts can silence even the most successful of women. Contains 8 black and white vintage photos.

Drawing on newly uncovered archival material and original research and interviews, this spellbinding book tells the overlapping stories of Baldwin's most sustaining intimate and artistic relationships: with his mentor, the Black American painter Beauford Delaney; with his lover and muse, the Swiss painter Lucien Happersberger; and with his collaborators, the famed Turkish actor Engin Cezzar and the iconoclastic French artist Yoran Cazac, whose long-overlooked significance as Baldwin's last great love is explored in these pages for the first time. <BR><BR>Nicholas Boggs shows how Baldwin drew on all the complex forces within these relationships-geographical, cultural, political, artistic, and erotic-and alchemized them into novels, essays, and plays that speak truth to power and had an indelible impact on the civil rights movement and on Black and queer literary history. Richly immersive, Baldwin: A Love Story follows the writer's creative journey between Harlem, Paris, Switzerland, the southern United States, Istanbul, Africa, the South of France, and beyond. In so doing, it magnifies our understanding of the public and private lives of one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century, whose contributions only continue to grow in influence.

An engrossing new biography of the man whose writings about 1930s Berlin made him famous. From the editor of Isherwood's diaries and letters.Christopher Isherwood rejected the life he was born to and set out to make a different one. Heir to an English estate, he flunked out of university, moved to Berlin, was driven through Europe by the Nazis, and circled the globe before finally settling in Hollywood. There he adopted a new religion and continued to form the friendships - including an astounding number of romantic and sexual ones, often with other celebrated artists - through which he discovered himself.Isherwood repeatedly fictionalised his friends and himself - from the detached 'Christopher Isherwood' of Goodbye to Berlin to George, the unapologetic middle-aged lover of men, in A Single Man, and the boldly out narrator of Christopher and His Kind. He was determined to portray his milieu appealingly to mainstream audiences in lucid, entertaining, often hilarious prose. Frankness about his sexuality, political beliefs and religion made him both a figurehead for the left and a target for the right. All the while, among the many public, constructed selves, an inmost self remained hidden.Using a wealth of unpublished material, Christopher Isherwood Inside Out reveals the drama and complexity of Isherwood's interior world. It tells how the traumas of his father's death in World War I and his failure to protect his German lover from the Nazis were healed by his life as a monk in the 1940s, enabling him to commit unflinchingly to a sexually open relationship in the 1950s, and to come out as a 'grand old man' of the gay rights movement in the 1970s.With this new biography, enriched by unlimited access to Isherwood's partner Don Bachardy, Katherine Bucknell shows how Christopher Isherwood achieved a uniquely inspiring personal life. He effected lasting change in our culture, through both his literary works and the way he lived.

When Ohio newspapers published the story of Alice Chenoweth's affair with a married man, she changed her name to Helen Hamilton Gardener, moved to New York, and devoted her life to championing women's rights and decrying the sexual double standard. She published seven books and countless essays, hobnobbed with the most interesting thinkers of her era, and was celebrated for her audacious ideas and keen wit. Opposed to piety, temperance, and conventional thinking, Gardener eventually settled in Washington, D.C., where her tireless work proved, according to her colleague Maud Wood Park, "the most potent factor" in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment.Free Thinker is the first biography of Helen Hamilton Gardener, who died as the highest-ranking woman in federal government and a national symbol of female citizenship. Hamlin exposes the racism that underpinned the women's suffrage movement and the contradictions of Gardener's politics. Her life sheds new light on why it was not until the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that the Nineteenth Amendment became a reality for all women.Celebrated in her own time but lost to history in ours, Gardener was hailed as the "Harriet Beecher Stowe of Fallen Women." Free Thinker is the story of a woman whose struggles, both personal and political, resound in today's fight for gender and sexual equity.

In the wake of October 7, 2023, and Israel’s retaliatory war, the renowned Italian jurist has become a lightning rod for her staunch defense of human rights. <BR><BR>Reflecting on her years living in Jerusalem and her personal and professional journey toward understanding the Palestinian struggle, Albanese pays tribute to 10 people whose profoundly affecting stories opened her eyes, from Hind Rajab, a young Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces, to the remarkable Jewish scholars who acted as Albanese’s mentors: forensic architect Eyal Weizman, trauma expert Gabor Maté, and Holocaust historian Alon Confino.<BR><BR>When the World Sleeps is a courageous testimony of the harsh reality that Palestinians face. It raises critical questions about the past, present, and future of Palestine: What are the consequences of the occupation? Where is a refugee’s home? In what conditions do Palestinians live? With the uncertain end of the war, will there be a Palestinian state? Will Palestinians have the right to self-determination, and will they be able to live in peace, free at last from the coercion of Israel?

Als Annette Dittert am 31. Januar 2020 um Mitternacht vor der Downing Street stand, um live in den ARD-Tagesthemen darüber zu berichten, dass der Brexit in dieser Nacht nun endgültig vollzogen sei, schossen ihr kurz vor der Schalte plötzlich Tränen in die Augen. Längst war London ihr Zuhause geworden. Jetzt war der Bruch mit der EU nicht mehr umkehrbar. Für sie und viele Briten, die bis zum Schluss noch auf einen anderen Ausgang gehofft hatten, ein bedrückender Tag. Zehn Jahre später fragt sich Annette Dittert, was aus dem Land geworden ist. Sie nimmt uns mit auf eine Reise über die Insel: Wir besuchen die Royal Albert Hall und das House of Lords, schwimmen mit der Frauengruppe "Blue Tits" im Meer an der Ostküste der Insel, plaudern mit Schotten, Priestern und Earls. Und sind bei der Autorin auf ihrem Narrowboat Emilia zu Gast, einem kleinen bunten Boot aus Stahl am Regent¿s Kanal, mitten im Zentrum Londons. So entsteht ein facettenreiches Bild der eigenwillig-charmanten Briten, deren prekäre wirtschaftliche und soziale Situation - nicht nur in Folge des EU-Austritts - im Alltag spürbar ist und die doch stets Haltung bewahren.'Jedes Mal, wenn Annette Dittert in der ARD zugeschaltet wurde, dachte ich erfreut: Let the show begin. Und genau so liest sich dieses Buch. Annette Dittert verbindet politische Analyse mit persönlicher Erfahrung jahrelanger Korrespondentenzeit. So entsteht ein vielschichtiger, oft überraschender Blick auf ein Land, das vielen Deutschen vertraut scheint und das sich doch erst wirklich erschließt, wenn man Einblicke hinter seine Rituale, Widersprüche und Eigenheiten erhält. Und die liefert Annette Dittert und nicht zu wenig. Grandios! ' NATALIE AMIRI'Dieses fantastische Buch ist ebenso unterhaltsam wie klug. Ein tiefer Blick in die Seele der Briten, geschrieben fast wie ein Roman. Ich konnte nicht aufhören zu lesen!' ULRICH WICKERT

Lucy Ann Delaney, born Lucy Berry (c. 1830 - after 1891), was an African-American author, and activist, a former slave notable for her 1891 narrative From the Darkness Cometh the Light, or, Struggles for Freedom. This is the only first-person account of a "freedom suit" and one of the few slave narratives published in the post-Emancipation period. The memoir recounts her mother Polly Berry's legal battles in St. Louis, Missouri, for her own and her daughter's freedom from slavery. For her daughter's case, Berry attracted the support of Edward Bates, a prominent Whig politician and judge, and the future US Attorney General under President Abraham Lincoln. He argued the case of Lucy Ann Berry in court and won in February 1844.

'Deeply researched and original' RUBY TANDOH, author of All Consuming'Stunningly profound and politically rousing' SOPHIE LEWIS, author of Abolish the Family'What a treat to be so compelled to turn the page' LOTTIE HAZELL, author of Piglet'Witty, unsparing, surprising and rich' ALICIA KENNEDY, author of No Meat RequiredIf you are what you eat, what does that make you? Virtuous, cool, immortal? Or deviant, pitiful, ill? Is it useful to make these judgements? Do they help us improve our lives?In a world where it feels as though the value of your life can be gauged by the goodness in your dinner, it is possible, even easy, to lose the will to live. This became particularly obvious to writer Amber Husain when suddenly, despite almost thirty years of practice, it seemed she had forgotten how to eat.Medical wisdom tries fix the problem non-eater by teaching them the rules of Good Diet. But what if the problem is precisely the narrowing of life to questions of personal goodness? Suspecting there might be more to her stand-off with food than matters of identity and diet, Husain embarked on an enquiry into the special role of eating in our relationship with the world.Combining a personal account of modern eating-disorder treatments, from the disturbing to the sublime, with a sprawling collective history of eating in hard times, Tell Me How You Eat unearths the astonishing effect of how we feed ourselves and others, not just on who we are, but on how we perceive our own political power. In doing so, it marks a bold and inspiring confrontation with our very understanding of food.

Wie widersteht man einer Diktatur? - Volker Ullrichs Biographie des großen Widerstandskämpfers Helmuth James von Moltke <BR> <BR> Widerstand gegen die Hitler-Diktatur - das forderte den ganzen Menschen. Das war eine Sache von Leben und Tod. Das hieß, den Lockungen eines unbeschwerten Familienlebens und einer verheißungsvollen Karriere zu entsagen. Das hieß, die Angst zu überwinden und sich täglich zu rüsten für den Kampf gegen ein menschenverachtendes Regime. All das verlangte viel Mut, große innere Unabhängigkeit, ein sicheres Empfinden für Recht und Unrecht und einen verlässlichen moralischen Kompass. Helmuth James von Moltke, der Kopf des Kreisauer Kreises, war einer der wenigen, die diese Eigenschaften mit sich brachten. In seiner neuen, glänzend geschriebenen Biographie erinnert Volker Ullrich an den großen Widerstandskämpfer und zeigt, dass sein Beispiel unserer Zeit mehr zu sagen hat, als uns lieb sein kann. <BR><BR>Anders als die meisten Mitglieder der bürgerlich-konservativen und der militärischen Opposition gegen Hitler war der am 11. März 1907 auf dem Familiengut im schlesischen Kreisau geborene Helmuth James von Moltke ein kompromissloser Gegner des Nationalsozialismus von allem Anfang an. Und er war der Spiritus Rector des Kreisauer Kreises, jener Widerstandsgruppe, die sich wie keine zweite in einem jahrelangen mühevollen Diskussionsprozess auf ein detailliertes Programm für eine Neuordnung nach Hitler verständigte. Bereits vor dem Attentat vom 20. Juli 1944 verhaftet, fiel er der Rache des Diktators zum Opfer und wurde von dessen Henker Roland Freisler vor dem Volksgerichtshof zum Tode verurteilt. Sein Briefwechsel mit seiner Frau Freya aus der Todeszelle in Tegel gehört zu den berührendsten Zeugnissen des Widerstands. Wie konnte Moltke zu dem werden, der er war? Woher nahm er die Kraft, wie fand er den Mut zum Widerstehen? Volker Ullrich stellt diese Fragen und erzählt die aufrüttelnde Lebensgeschichte eines Mannes, der Hitler bis zuletzt die Stirn bot.

Wera Sassulitsch war eine außergewöhnliche Frau in einer von Männern beherrschten Welt. Mit ihrem Attentat auf den Petersburger Polizeikommandanten Trepow erlangte sie 1878 schlagartig internationale Bekanntheit. Später zählte sie zu den führenden Persönlichkeiten der russischen Sozialdemokratie, war Mitbegründerin der revolutionären Zeitung Iskra und übersetzte zentrale Texte von Marx und Engels ins Russische. 1903 kam es zum Bruch mit der Gruppe um Lenin; fortan beteiligte sie sich beim Aufbau der Menschewiki. Bei all ihrer politischen Aktivität war ihr wichtig, einer Gemeinschaft anzugehören, in der sie so akzeptiert wurde, wie sie war - das war für Wera Sassulitsch die 'Poesie der Revolution'. Stephan Rindlisbacher gewährt in diesem Band einen Einblick in Sassulitschs bemerkenswerte Lebensgeschichte. In den ausgewählten und teils erstmals ins Deutsche übersetzen Dokumenten kommen Wera Sassulitsch selbst wie auch ihre engsten Weggefährten zu Wort.

'A fascinating journey that illuminates, in often thought-provoking ways, the politics of violence in radical movements' Angela Davis<BR><BR>The son of the FBI's most wanted woman tells the electrifying story of a childhood on the run - and a half-century of revolutionary struggle in America<BR><BR>We all grapple with a past that defines us: culture, religion, a family story. But what happens when you inherit a revolution?<BR><BR>Zayd Ayers Dohrn was born underground. His parents were fugitives after a decade fighting the US government; his mother co-founded a leftist radical group called the Weathermen, and replaced Angela Davis on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. All his life, Dohrn's parents said his birth marked a clean break with violent revolutionary struggle but, in this explosive memoir, he discovers that story wasn't entirely true.<BR><BR>Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young offers a page-turning account of an infamous family and their life in hiding, as well as the political battles of the '60s and '70s. At its heart it asks big questions: how can a child survive when the place they feel safest - with their family - also puts them in danger? What does it mean to be a good revolutionary, and how should young people today try to change the world?

A powerful exploration of self-resilience, family, and community from activist and prison abolitionist Keeonna Harris.Keeonna and Jason met as young teens. Only fourteen, Keeonna had never had a boyfriend before, dreamed of attending Spelman to become an obstetrician, and thought she was “grown.” Within a year she was pregnant and Jason was in prison, convicted of a carjacking and sentenced to twenty-two years. Overnight Keeonna had become a “mainline mama,” a parent facing the task of raising a child—while still growing up herself—with an incarcerated partner. In this triumphant memoir, Keeonna recalls her challenging journey as a mainline mama, from learning to overcome the exhausting difficulties of navigating the carceral system in the United States to transforming herself into an advocate for women like her—the predominantly Black and Brown women left behind to pick up the pieces of their families and fractured lives. Keeonna speaks frankly about the forces that threatened to defeat her, how she learned to re - build her broken relationship with a mother who had lost trust in her, and how time eased the shame, guilt, and stigma of being a young Black teen mom with a partner behind bars. She offers inspiration and solace, showing how to create moments of beauty, humanity, and love—such as picking the perfect wedding dress for a ceremony in a state prison visiting room—in a place de - signed to break spirits. Mainline Mama is about creating self-love and community—crucial acts of radical resistance against a prison industrial complex designed to dehumanize and to separate and shut away incarcerated individuals and their loved ones from the world.

Fight for your right to bike! - Frauen, Freiheit, Fahrrad'Revolutions' ist kein gewöhnliches Fahrradbuch - es ist ein Manifest auf zwei Rädern. Hannah Ross rollt die Geschichte des Fahrrads radikal neu auf: aus der Sicht der Frauen, die damit ganze Gesellschaften in Bewegung brachten. Vom 19.
