Nach einem Putsch im Juli 1936 brach in Spanien der Bürgerkrieg aus, der bei vielen Intellektuellen überall in der Welt Solidarität mit der bedrohten Republik auslöste. Arthur Koestler ging zu jenen Zeiten direkt zu Anfang des Konfliktes als Kriegsberichterstatter nach Spanien. Den Fall Málagas im Februar 1937 erlebte er mit und wird gefangen genommen. Noch bevor er als Gefangener nach Sevilla verlegt wird, werden während seiner Isolierhaft, die nur fünf Tage dauerte, fünftausend Menschen erschossen.

This classic memoir of the First World War is now a major motion picture starring Alicia Vikander and Kit Harington.

Since resigning from the papacy in 2013, the first pope in more than 700 years to do so, Pope Benedict has lived quietly in a convent in the Vatican gardens in Rome. He has devoted himself to a life of prayer and study and has vowed to remain silent, until now. So much controversy still surrounds Pope Benedict’s time in office - in this book, written with best-selling German author Peter Seewald, he addresses the issues of his papacy and reveals how, at his late age, governing and reforming the Church was beyond him.
