History

A new book that will inspire children, by the global bestselling author of Stories for Boys Who Dare to be Different.<BR><BR>The words in Dare to be Different have great power.<BR><BR>Ben Brooks has brought together 100 people who have all in some way or another used words to do wonderful things. Some may have changed a single life, while others have changed the course of history for almost everyone on earth. But whether their effects were big or small, these individuals' speeches, letters, poems, songs, stories, and advice prove one thing: words can make the world a better place. And they can make you feel better about yourself too.<BR><BR>This extraordinary compendium includes personal letters that were written for just one reader to help guide them through life's journey; sometimes they were intended for millions of people to hear about grand declarations of war, peace or new discoveries. Most of the time, though, they are words of wisdom that children will love to hear, about kindness, bullying, or whether it's OK to sometimes eat chocolate for breakfast.<BR><BR>From Aesop's fables about what's right and what's wrong to Selena Gomez's speech about bullying; and from F. Scott Fitzgerald's letters of encouragement to his daughter, Scottie, to Bambi, the mysterious graffiti artist who sprays words of truth on walls, there is something to be learned from every quote in this inspiring and illuminating book.<BR><BR>Children will be enthused and comforted by the wonderful true stories Brooks has brought from across history and from around the world. Each one is exquisitely illustrated by Quinton Winter, who made the Stories for Boys series so visually exciting.

Aufgeregt und erwartungsvoll, so blickten wir damals in die Zukunft! Erinnern Sie sich mit uns an die ersten 18 Lebensjahre - an Ihre Kindheit und Jugend! Jahrgang 1961 - das war die Generation, die hinter der Mauer aufwuchs - mit Blick zu den Sternen und nach dem Westen. Wir tranken "Früchte C" und der Sandmann war unser Fernsehliebling. Wir übten Solidarität mit Vietnam, sammelten Altpapier für den Frieden und kämpften Angela Davis frei. Später hörten wir RIAS, trugen stars-and-stripes-Shirts, lasen verbotene Literatur und nahmen heimlich "Moscow" von Wonderland auf. Und wir hatten wir jede Menge Spaß - jenseits der staatlich verordneten Kindheit und Jugend!

La vita di Sandro Pertini spesa a combattere per la libertà, la pace, la giustizia. Le battaglie di Lina Merlin, Adele Bei, Teresa Noce per l'emancipazione femminile. La centralità data al lavoro da Giorgio La Pira. La regia di Giuseppe Dossetti per bilanciare l'eccezionale peso della Chiesa in un Paese laico. La parità dei diritti di tutti gli esseri umani rivendicata da Elettra Pollastrini... Mentre nel 1946 gli uomini e le donne della Costituente danno forma agli articoli che compongono la nostra Costituzione, nelle loro orecchie si avverte l'eco delle voci di straordinari pensatori del passato come Machiavelli e Cattaneo, e nelle loro mani si intravede un testimone che passa a personaggi più recenti, come Rita Levi-Montalcini, Franca Viola e Primo Levi, per arrivare fino a noi. Perché a nostra volta si protegga e mantenga viva l'eredità di libertà, uguaglianza, diritti che ci è stata consegnata. Dai fatti che hanno portato alla nascita della Costituzione, passando attraverso i suoi dodici principi fondamentali e i temi essenziali, un libro sugli uomini e le donne che hanno tradotto in gesti concreti i principi di libertà e dignità della nostra Carta.

Jahrgang 2005 - Mit unserer Ankunft begann auch die lange Amtszeit Angela Merkels als Bundeskanzlerin. Damals rollten wir auf Bobby Cars umher, heute sind wir mit Rädern, Mopeds und Autos unterwegs. Es fühlt sich an wie gestern, dass wir auf KiKa das Sandmännchen anschauten und uns beim Kinderturnen verausgabten. Aus KiKa wurde Netflix und aus der Turnhalle die Tanzfläche der Clubs und Partys. Corona, Klimakrise und Krieg in der Ukraine beschäftigen uns in der Jugend. Und trotzdem blicken wir voller Vorfreude unseren neuen Freiheiten entgegen.
