La Alemania nazi despierta una merecida repulsa por los aborrecibles crímenes que se cometieron bajo aquel régimen abyecto. Pero no es menos cierto que el Tercer Reich suscita también una inconfesada fascinación, que provoca que todo lo que le rodea atraiga un vívido e inextinguible interés. El que se acerque a estas páginas podrá conocer esa perturbadora dualidad a través de una experiencia inmersiva, mediante la cual experimentará lo que sintieron los alemanes que vivieron aquellos turbulentos años. En la primera parte de la obra, el lector se embarcará en uno de los cruceros a Madeira con los que el régimen premiaba a los trabajadores germanos, viajará por las autopistas que despertaron admiración en todo el mundo o disfrutará de un inolvidable viaje a Río de Janeiro en el dirigible Hindenburg. También podrá, haciendo un ejercicio de imaginación, visitar la Alemania actual para admirar las megaconstrucciones que Hitler hubiera levantado de haber ganado la guerra. Igualmente, se asombrará al conocer los viajes de los exploradores nazis al Himalaya, el Amazonas y la Antártida, o los prodigiosos adelantos técnicos logrados por aquel régimen, que sólo serían superados varias décadas más tarde. Tras ese espectacular panorama de los brillantes logros alcanzados por la Alemania nazi, el lector deberá enfrentarse en la segunda parte de la obra al terrible contrapunto. Comenzando por las pesadillas que aquel régimen totalitario provocó en muchos alemanes y siguiendo por los episodios menos conocidos del terror y la crueldad que desplegó, esas duras páginas mostrarán hasta qué cotas de iniquidad puede descender el ser humano.

War-games champion Udo Berger is finally on holiday. Travelling to the Costa Brava with his long-ignored girlfriend, Ingeborg, there they meet another vacationing German couple, Charly and Hanna, and a band of shady locals. They have fun, see the sights, relax. Then, late one night, Charly disappears without a trace. Desperate to solve the mystery, Udo refuses to leave, even after Ingeborg returns home. Increasingly frightened, the situation slips beyond his grasp and Udo suddenly realizes that the consequences of this ‘game’ are much more serious than he ever imagined. TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER ‘Capering, weird, rascally and short... The Third Reich is giddily funny, but it is also prickly and bizarre enough to count among Bolaño’s first-rate efforts’ The Economist ‘A mesmerizing tale: sleek, linear, easily digested, beautifully translated...

"During the course of a single night, Father Sebastian Urrutia Lacroix, a Chilean priest who is a member of Opus Dei, a literary critic and a mediocre poet, relives some of the crucial events of his life. He believes he is dying, and in his feverish delirium various characters, both real and imaginary, appear to him as icy monsters, as if in sequences from a horror film. Among them are the great poet Pablo Neruda, the German novelist Ernst Junger, and General Augusto Pinochet - whom Father Lacroix instructs in Marxist doctrine - as well as various members of the Chilean intelligentsia whose lives, during a period of political turbulence, have touched his own."--Jacket.

A phenomenally unusual three-way murder mystery. With a murder at its heart, Roberto Bolano’s The Skating Rink is, among other things, a crime novel. Murder seems to have exerted a fascination for the endlessly talented Bolano, who in his last interview, according to The Observer, “declared, in all apparent seriousness, that what he would most like to have been was a homicide detective.” Set in the seaside town of Z, north of Barcelona, The Skating Rink is told in short, suspenseful chapters by three male narrators, and revolves around a beautiful figure skating champion, Nuria Martí. A ruined mansion, knife-wielding women, political corruption, sex, and jealousy all appear in this atmospheric chronicle of a single summer season in a seaside town, with its vacationers, businessmen, immigrants, bureaucrats, social workers, and drifters.

The public authorities have not successfully resolved the management of the traumatic memory of the wars, dictatorships and massacres to which the European project was always intended to be a counterpoint. The conflict of memories and the public discourses about the past are latent on ideological, political and cultural levels. However, if in the past the conflict concerning memories tended to develop inside the borders of countries, it has now leapt into the European arena. This has also led to the confrontation and questioning of the great narratives established in the common memory, especially with countries of the East joining the European Union. Each community, group or nation maintains common memories that do not always fit in or converge with a general overall account. The origins of the UB Solidarity Foundation’s European Observatory on Memories lie in these debates, and through this book — which includes the contributions of specialists in multiple disciplines and the speeches that were given at the first international symposium, “Memory and Power: A Transnational Perspective” — it hopes to present some of the key challenges that this conflict of memories has in store for us in the present and in the future.

He was, of course, a man better known for burning books than collecting them and yet by the time he died, aged 56, Adolf Hitler owned an estimated 16,000 volumes - the works of historians, philosophers, poets, playwrights and novelists. For the first time, Timothy W. Ryback offers a systematic examination of this remarkable collection. The volumes in Hitler's library are fascinating in themselves but it is the marginalia - the comments, the exclamation marks, the questions and underlinings - even the dirty thumbprints on the pages of a book he read in the trenches of the First World War - which are so revealing. Hitler's Private Library provides us with a remarkable view of Hitler's evolution - and unparalleled insights into his emotional and intellectual world. Utterly compelling, it is also a landmark in our understanding of the Third Reich.
