Book Synopsis An Englishman Abroad by : Gianluca Barneschi
Download or read book An Englishman Abroad written by Gianluca Barneschi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on 20 years of research, Gianluca Barneschi has uncovered the true story of a real-life James Bond. The debonair Special Operations Executive agent Richard 'Dick' Mallaby was the first Briton to be sent to Italy as an SOE operative, parachuted unceremoniously into Lake Como in August 1943. Arrested and initially tortured by the Italian authorities, he managed to sweet-talk his way out of trouble, and helped Marshal Pietro Badoglio and King Victor Emmanuel III escape to the Allied lines. He also helped negotiate the armistice with Italy, for which he was awarded the Military Cross. He was back in action in 1945, when he crossed into Fascist-controlled northern Italy from Switzerland but was swiftly captured and interrogated by the SS. Narrowly avoiding a firing squad once again, he helped to secure the surrender of 800,000 German forces in Italy in May 1945.

Book excerpt: Though forever in the spotlight, the latest act of David Beckham's career played out on foreign fields has outshone all previous drama: full of intrigue, subplots and emotional highs and lows. His falling out with Ferguson and leaving Old Trafford; the bitter power struggle for his signature between Barca and Real; the hype of his inauguration and the tour of the Far East; the media circus decamping to Madrid, monitoring his every move; the behind the scenes politics of marketing and spin and the accusations that he had been bought to sell shirts; silencing his critics with performances that made him the fulcrum of the team; then finally falling from grace with the rest of the Galacticos as their pursuit of footballing perfection began to crumble. This is the story of that season told through Spanish eyes - tthe players, backroom staff, pundits and ordinary fans - by a man who was there as it happened.

To thee new bounds my regions owe; Thou shedd'st fresh glory on my brow; Where Titan rises on the main Circled by numerous seas I reign, And where beneath old Ocean's tides His glowing orb he sinking hides. III. To happiness beneath thy sway Tis glory adds a brighter day, More glorious far by thy renown And power, I scare the envious frown. Whoe'er would break my tranquil rest, Short lived's the rancour of his breast, Thy fame shall burst upon his ear, And thunder-struck he'll die with fear; Whilst he that hears the royal word Will humbly kiss thy conquering sword. IV. See the proud Ottoman, with power Elate, bewail his destin'd hour; Impatient of the victor foe Before thee prostrate lie, and low; Vain are his hopes, his projects vain, O'er the vast universe to reign. The Agamemnons of the North Shall blast them in their infant birth. No numbers heroes can appal, Where'er they stretch their arms, they fall. The Danube saw them in array, The Danube witness'd their dismay: The Victor glorying in his fame From conquest wins a lasting name; New laurels bloom upon his head, And thousands in his footsteps tread; Nor, less renown'd for martial deed, They in the field of battle bleed; And wounds their patriot zeal increase; War with the Turk to me brings peace. VI. What unknown ecstasies my soul surprise? What new-born image fills my wond'ring eyes? The bursting skies a brighter image shed, The temple opes, the portals wide outspread, The heav'nly light around with sudden blaze A brilliant hero in the midst displays. With crown of purple majesty arrayed, And glory in a circle round his head. How then this...

Download or read book Elites written by João de Pina-Cabral and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wealth and power characterize elites, yet despite the strong cultural influences they exert, their study remains underdeveloped. Partly because of complications resulting from access, scholars have tended to focus on groups affected by elite governance rather than on elites themselves. It is often overlooked that, in order to continue through time, elites have toempower new members. Choice has to be exercised over who achieves leadership, both by reference to the elite group itself and to the wider group over which it holds power. This book fills a gap in the current literature by providing the first rigorous interrogation of the choice and succession strategies of elites in various cultural contexts - from the transmission and preservation of financial power in urban contexts to the complex relation between subjectivity and the transmission of leadership positions in places as varied as the United States, Northern Italy and Lisbon. Various elite succession types are discussed, from self-avowedly 'traditional' leaders to the aristocracy, where choice is practically non-existent, to situations where leaders are elected from among a group of peers. The relationship between familial property and choice of successor in landholding families, small business enterprises, and peasant communities is also examined, as are ethnic monopolies.

Book Synopsis Italian Partisans and British Forces in the Second World War by : Nicola Cacciatore
Download or read book Italian Partisans and British Forces in the Second World War written by Nicola Cacciatore and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a significant new interpretation of the relations between Italian partisans and British forces during the Italian campaign of 1943-1945. The core of the argument challenges many assumptions that are today still present both in Italian and in the Anglophone historiography on the subject. In current historiography, the debate is still ongoing as to whether the British were a hostile force to the Italian Resistance, trying to weaken it to better control it, or a genuine and committed ally. Instead of a clear-cut and artificial dichotomy between the 'Italians' and the 'British' this book posits the idea that lines were often blurred, and relations existed on a scale that included lots of grey and overlapping areas. Thanks to an original approach that examines the Italo-British interaction from a point of view as close as possible to the ‘action’, it proposes a new interpretation based on the way the British image was cast in Italy. Politics is left in the background in favour of an analysis of the concrete problems and difficulties that Italians and the British had to face when working together and how these processes influenced the image of Great Britain in Italy in the following decades. This produces a final interpretation that enriches current historiography and pushes forward our understanding of the relationship between Italian partisans and British forces.
Book Synopsis Four from the forties by : Brian McFarlane
Download or read book Four from the forties written by Brian McFarlane and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘Gainsborough melodramas’ were a mainstay of 1940s British cinema, and helped make the careers of such stars as Margaret Lockwood, James Mason and Stewart Granger. But what was unique about these films? And who were the directors behind them? This book presents four key filmmakers, each with his own talents and specialities. It traces their professional lives through the highs of the 1940s, when the popularity of Gainsborough films was at its peak, to the tougher decades that followed the genre’s decline. Featuring expert analysis of such films as The Man in Grey (1943), Madonna of the Seven Moons (1945) and The Upturned Glass (1947), alongside valuable historical context, the book constitutes the first extended examination of this group of directors. It combines critical acumen with readability, making it a valuable resource for students, lecturers and general readers alike.

Book Synopsis Playing Gay in the Golden Age of British TV by : Stephen Bourne
Download or read book Playing Gay in the Golden Age of British TV written by Stephen Bourne and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The television set – the humble box in the corner of almost every British household – has brought about some of the biggest social changes in modern times. It gives us a window into the lives of people who are different from us: different classes, different races, different sexualities. And through this window, we've learnt that, perhaps, we're not so different after all. Playing Gay in the Golden Age of British TV looks at gay male representation on and off the small screen – from the programmes that hinted at homoeroticism to Mary Whitehouse's Clean Up TV campaign, and The Naked Civil Servant to the birth of Channel 4 as an exciting 'alternative' television channel. Here, acclaimed social historian Stephen Bourne tells the story of the innovation, experimentation, back-tracking and bravery that led British television to help change society for the better.
