When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure's converge. Doerr's \"stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors\" (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another.

It is doubtful that there is any nation on earth that is not familiar with his colossal and provocative reputation. Adolf Hitler rose from the ranks as an unknown soldier, through the political chaos of the Weimar period, to take command of Germany and embark on a twelve-year odyssey of both great triumphs and great tragedy. Time magazine named him Man of the Year in 1938, but in terms of personal impact on the course of history, he may have been Man of the Century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the popular imagination, it is impossible to disassociate the man from his emphatic and passionate public addresses. As a result, Hitler's oratory is often credited with his victory in the competition for political influence in the early years of the NSDAP's struggle for power. And yet, competent translations of many of his influential speeches have largely been neglected, and those that do exist often do not do justice to the original material.\u003cbr\u003eIn His Own Words is not only a collection of new and improved translations of some of Hitler's most important speeches, but also includes original research to provide historical context and information about the speeches themselves. While not a complete collection of every speech he ever made-such a collection would span thousands of pages at minimum-the essential speeches translated in this edition will provide the English reader with an unparalleled understanding of how Hitler used his oratory to become the most recognizable political figure of the modern age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntelope Hill is proud to present In His Own Words, translated, compiled, and with commentary by C.J.

This witty, approachable book asks why--for better or (sometimes) worse--antiquity continues to exert such a powerful hold on the contemporary imagination.

It was not the canonical \"greats\" of ancient literature and art that initially drew her in, she confesses, but rather the more intimate, messy, and humdrum evidence of daily life in the remote past. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Confronting the uses and abuses of symbols of the ancient world, Beard reminds us that the traditions and \"masterpieces\" of Greece and Rome have certainly been politicized, but they belong to neither the left nor the right. Happily, no one owns the past. She warns us not to let a sense of reverence or overfamiliarity dampen the \"shock of the old,\" arguing that one of the most important things that classics teach us is how to grapple with complicated and controversial things. \"The Greeks and Romans are long dead, they cannot answer back, and you can say what you like about them,\" she reminds readers. \"The simple fact that classics belong to none of us can offer a safe space to argue about the most difficult debates we face now.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beard welcomes everyone into classics. \"It is not compulsory to be excited by the ancient world,\" she writes. \"But it can be a shame not to be.\" This charming, sharp, and readable book from one of the world's most entertaining classicists offers something for both new and established fans of classics, bringing new wonder and curiosity to even the most ancient of ideas. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Beard \u003c\/b\u003eis a distinguished classicist, international bestselling author, and popular television personality.
