Juni 1940: Hitlers Wehrmacht hat Frankreich besiegt. Die Gestapo fahndet nach Heinrich Mann und Lion Feuchtwanger, nach Hannah Arendt, Franz Werfel und unzähligen anderen, die in Frankreich seit 1933 Asyl gefunden haben. Sie alle müssen fliehen und geraten schließlich nach Marseille, um von dort einen Weg in die Freiheit zu suchen. Derweil riskiert der Amerikaner Varian Fry sein Leben, um die Verfolgten außer Landes zu schmuggeln. Szenisch dicht erzählt Uwe Wittstock die aufwühlende Geschichte ihrer Flucht unter tödlichen Gefahren, von unfassbarem Mut und größter Verzweiflung, von trotziger Hoffnung und Mitmenschlichkeit in düsterer Zeit.

"Wir schweigen nicht, wir sind Euer böses Gewissen, die Weiße Rose lässt Euch keine Ruhe!", hieß es auf einem Flugblatt der kleinen studentischen Widerstandsgruppe in München, zu dessen innerem Kreis neben Alexander Schmorell und Hans Scholl dessen jüngere Schwester Sophie, Christoph Probst, Willi Graf sowie der Universitätsprofessor Kurt Huber gehörten. Selbst vor Roland Freisler sprach die 21-Jährige im Gerichtssaal unbeirrt aus, was sie dachte: "Was wir schrieben und sagten, das denken Sie alle ja auch, nur haben Sie nicht den Mut, es auszusprechen."

Luca Misculin fa un vero e proprio carotaggio storico, raccontando la stratificazione di popoli, uomini e miti che si sono succeduti nel corso dei secoli. E allo stesso tempo racconta il Mediterraneo di oggi, le sue isole e i suoi porti, i suoi uccelli migratori e i cavi sottomarini che lo attraversano, i suoi luoghi piú inaccessibili, come basi militari abbandonate o piattaforme petrolifere.

An improbable world beckons. We think we know Madagascar, but it's too big, too eccentric and too impenetrable to be truly understood. If it was stretched out across Europe, the islands would reach from London to Algiers, and yet its road network is barely bigger than tiny Jamaica's. There is no evidence of any human life until about 10,000 years ago, and, when eventually people settled, it was migrants from Borneo - 3,700 miles away - who came out on top.

Desde el día en el que unos jóvenes beduinos recuperaron una cabra que se había perdido en una cueva del desierto la leyenda ha acompañado la historia de este descubrimiento.
