Presidents & Heads of State

Jean-Luc Barré saisit toute la complexité de l’homme du 18 Juin. Il révèle un de Gaulle guidé précocement par une vision, des principes et des convictions profondes, bien loin du seul pragmatisme qu’on lui a prêté. Dès les années 30, il pressent la fin du système colonial, imagine les institutions de la Ve République en 1941 ; prend conscience des limites du nationalisme et, réputé de droite, est un contempteur souvent féroce des valeurs bourgeoises et du monde de l’argent.

From the Revolutionary War to his death in 1831, James Monroe's life was dominated by partisan politics. Monroe not uniquely among the American founders hated political parties, even writing that he "always considered their existence as the curse of the country." Yet his career saw the rise, fall, and rebirth of American political parties.

The inauguration of President Donald J. Trump on January 20, 2025, marked the beginning of a new era in politics. Since then, the world has been immersed in a relentless stream of announcements, sudden developments, and policy shifts. Beyond the headlines and the controversy, there is a need for a clear-eyed view of what is already one of the most transformational administrations in American history.

Whether you are a longtime lover of history, a trivia collector with too many pub quiz trophies, or someone who just likes a good story told well, US Presidents offers a sharply entertaining and informative account of America’s leaders.

Un retrato humano, político y espiritual del hombre que cambió el rumbo de la Iglesia católica. El día 13 del mes 3 de 2013 fue el día de Francisco. Una fecha que marcó un hito en la historia de la Iglesia católica. Por primera vez, un jesuita. Por primera vez, un latinoamericano. Por primera vez, en casi seiscientos años, la elección de un Papa tras la renuncia de otro, en medio de un presente desconcertante para el Vaticano, asediado por la divulgación de informes secretos y de investigaciones internas.
