Le lecteur découvre le récit d'un violon de 1750 qui se souvient de ses jeunes années au sein de la famille Hindelmann et de sa déportation à Auschwitz dans l'orchestre féminin dirigé par Alma Rosé. Alors que le procès de Nuremberg se déroule, le juge Geoffrey Lawrence reçoit un volumineux colis anonyme au sein duquel il trouve des documents troublants. Une partition de Wagner, compositeur cher à Hitler, « Le crépuscule des Dieux ' fait partie du paquet, elle est codée et mène aux archives secrètes du IIIème Reich. Le violon de Guitta et la partition joueront un rôle capital dans le dénouement du verdict du procès et la condamnation d'Albert Speer, l'architecte et ministre de l'Armement d'Hitler. Lorsque Guitta disparaît en avril 1944, le violon devient la propriété de hauts dignitaires nazis avant de séjourner à Berlin, dans le bunker d'Hitler et de devenir l'un des trophées de guerre de Staline. Le roman est un hommage aux victimes de la Shoah et aux instruments de musique spoliés par le régime Nazi, la perte de l'identité, la résilience des femmes d'Auschwitz. On y découvre la relation mortifère de Speer avec Hitler, les secrets du Chancelier, la tentative échouée de Speer à se rallier à Staline vainqueur.
I protagonisti dei racconti sono alla ricerca di una propria verità interiore e attraversano una fase della vita caratterizzata da una trasformazione che li porta inevitabilmente a fare i conti con il proprio sé, con le proprie emozioni e con la propria storia. I racconti, ambientati per lo più nella zona limitrofa al fiume Po, trattano di temi universali e trasversali che vanno dalla realizzazione di un proprio sogno, in Prima o poi un libro lo scrivo, la stesura di un libro appunto, alla liberazione dal proprio carnefice, rappresentato esteriormente dal padre, nel racconto La bestia, fino ad arrivare alla liberazione dai propri vincoli interiori. Viene trattato il tema della paura del vivere nel racconto Il bibliotecario e della paura di amare in Amore amore un cazzo; ma anche dell¿eccesso di controllo, sempre dovuto alla paura, che sfocia in tragedia con Il lucchetto. In modo più leggero, ma non per questo meno incisivo, La signorina Nontivoglio diventa l¿emblema dell¿esasperazione della spiritualità e della chiusura e fuga dalla vita vera per rinchiudersi in una religiosità dai contorni ferrei.
Una bambina in fuga - Diari e lettere di un'ebrea mantovana al tempo della Shoah raccoglie la memoria adulta di un'infanzia vissuta durante la Shoah e le scritture prodotte dalla stessa persona allora e subito dopo la fine della seconda guerra mondiale; sono materiali che costituiscono uno straordinario corpo di fonti per comprendere le forme della resistenza e della resilienza di una bambina di fronte al dolore della persecuzione razziale e dell'esilio. In uno scritto della fine degli anni ottanta, Lidia Gallico ripercorre la sua infanzia di bambina ebrea negli anni delle leggi razziali: la fuga in Svizzera, il campo profughi, l'accoglienza in un collegio di suore, la separazione dai genitori e il rientro a casa. A tale scritto si aggiungono qui il "diarietto comune", tenuto durante il soggiorno nel collegio svizzero e subito dopo il ritorno a casa, e le lettere scritte da lì ai genitori, pubblicate in questo volume per la prima volta. L'introduzione di Maria Bacchi ricostruisce il contesto storico della persecuzione razziale in Italia e le spesso contraddittorie politiche di accoglienza e respingimento dei profughi ebrei che chiedevano asilo in Svizzera. Evidenzia anche come questo raro e insolito materiale sia una fonte preziosa per conoscere la vita e l'interiorità dei bambini rifugiati.
As everyone can see every day, many objects or materials change their appearance when they get wet. Most of the time, the object becomes more translucent, its color darker and more chromatic. Beyond these general trends, is it possible to predict these changes in appearance for a given type of surface, and for a given humidity level? This is the question studied in this book, by drawing up a first inventory of available knowledge and ongoing research in multiple fields of application: in remote sensing, to correctly identify surfaces and estimate moisture content; in public lighting, to improve visibility on wet roads; in computer graphics, to render wet surfaces in a more realistic way...There is no universal model to describe the changes in spectral, angular and spatial responses of a wetted surface. The mechanisms of light scattering are not affected in the same way according to whether the material is porous, fibrous, powdery, and can be filled by water, or impermeable and can be covered by a water layer. In some applications where the infrared domain is of interest, the strong absorptance of water is also to be considered.This book was initiated by the GDR Appamat, a grouping of research focused on material appearance created in 2019 by the French national center for scientific research (CNRS). In 9 chapters, 26 specialists from various disciplines present different approaches that open perspectives on this field of research. Hopefully, students, engineers, and researchers will be inspired by these ideas to propose future developments.

GHISLAINE SENSATIONAL AND IMPUREWILLIAM STEEL At this point in history, one woman, Ghislaine Maxwell, could destroy the world's most powerful men. WILLIAM STEEL, now a successful true crime author on the rise, has been aptly named, "THE PREMIER EXPERT IN WRITING TRUE CRIME...THE VOICE OF A GENERATION", due in large measure to his engaging, straightforward prose, and his colorful life experiences which have resulted in Steel colliding with many high-profile notorious and diabolical criminals. In this series of true crime novels, GHISLAINE SENSATIONAL AND IMPURE, the unspeakable is spoken and the truths are no longer hidden. This first book is Ghislaine Maxwell stripped bare.

With this first book in the series, GHISLAINE SENSATIONAL AND IMPURE, a raw, compelling account from Steel's personal insider experiences, more importantly, the reader will gain foundational knowledge helpful for understanding and empathizing with the immeasurable, horrific ongoing suffering and anguish that remains with the many victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including William Steel, who also suffered at the hands of Ms. Maxwell.Coming Spring of 2022: GHISLAINE SENSATIONAL AND IMPURE II William Steel's second book in the GHISLAINE series will focus on the aftermath of Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal trial in New York.

About the Book: सभी के जीवन में व्यक्तिगत युद्ध होते ही हैं जिनसे हर कोई लड़ने पर मजबूर है । सवाल उठता है की कैसे लड़े की जीत निश्चित हो ? वो कौन से ऐसे हथियार हैं जिन्हें बाँध कर युद्ध लड़ा जाए ?क्योंकि बिना हथियार के जीत सिर्फ कल्पना मात्र है । जब पलिश्ती गोलियथ ने इस्राएली दाऊद को युद्ध के लिए ललकारा था तब दाऊद उससे निहत्था एक गोफन के साथ लड़ गया था । उस वक्त उसके पास जो हथियार था वो सिर्फ उसका विश्वास था । उसने राजा से कहा, " किसी मनुष्य का मन उस पलिश्ती के कारण कच्चा न हो; तेरा दास दाऊद जाकर उस पलिश्ती से लड़ेगा "। - 1 शमूएल 17:31 आपका सबसे बड़ा हथियार आपके अंदर है और वो है आपकी सोच, आपका आत्म विश्वास । यदि दाऊद ने सोचा होता की कहां मैं चरवाहा और कहां गोलियथ एक शक्तिशाली योद्धा तो शायद वो गोलियथ का सर धड़ से कलम नहीं कर पाता ।अपनी सोच का दायरा बढ़ाए और अपने आत्म विश्वास को प्रबल बनाएं क्योंकि यही आपका का्मरेड् है । "का्मरेड्" सकारात्मक सोच पर आधारित है । ये उन हथियारों पर आधारित है जो जीत निश्चित करते हैं ।
Cuando la bala de un cazador, dirigida a un venado, alcanzó a Wilmer, entonces un niño de nueve años, y lo dejó paralizado del pecho para abajo, nadie pudo imaginar el impacto que tendría esta tragedia, con repercusiones, no solo en su propia vida y la de su familia, sino en la comunidad global que lo adoptó como uno más de los suyos. En una zona rural y empobrecida del norte de Guatemala, Wilmer tenía pocas opciones para su cuidado y pasó la mayor parte de su adolescencia en un hogar de niños; enojado, confundido, y resentido, hasta que ocurrió algo que cambió su vida. A veces para estar a la altura de las circunstancias, debes elevar tu consciencia, es un adagio que Wilmer acabaría adoptando como propio. Gracias a su obsesión por aprender y escuchar la sabiduría de los demás, Wilmer rápidamente, alcanzo la paz interior. Sin embargo, una complicación persistente a causa del accidente sucedido durante su niñez afectaría la vida de Wilmer, dejando a los médicos sin respuestas. La operación que requería nunca había sido realizada en la historia de la medicina. Pero Wilmer a pesar de todo, rehusándose a abandonar la lucha, comenzó a manifestar un futuro esperanzador a pesar de las adversidades. Conozca la vida de Wilmer, y los principios que definen su legado, por medio de su historia relatada en sus propias palabras. Descubra la actitud que le permitió prosperar en medio de circunstancias que parecían destinadas a destruirlo. Más que nada, permita que la historia de Wilmer le demuestre que quizá la mayor tragedia de nuestra existencia es que muchas veces olvidamos que tenemos el control absoluto de escoger cómo reaccionamos a las experiencias, sacando lo peor o lo mejor de ellas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION When a hunter's bullet intended for a deer struck nine-year-old Wilmer, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down, no one could anticipate the impact of this tragedy-with effects rippling to himself and his family, and to the global community that adopted him as their own. In a rural and impoverished area of Northern Guatemala, Wilmer was left with few options for care and spent the majority of his adolescent life living in a home for vulnerable children-angry, confused, and resentful-until a shift occurred that would change his life. "Sometimes to elevate your circumstances, you have to elevate your consciousness," is an adage that Wilmer would ultimately come to embrace as his own. Through an obsession with learning and listening to the wisdom of others, Wilmer began making giant strides, creating tranquility in his internal environment. Yet a lingering complication from his childhood accident eventually circled back into Wilmer's life, leaving doctors without answers. The operation he required had never been attempted in medical history. Refusing to give up the fight, he began to manifest a new future despite his most recent complication. Learn about Wilmer's life-and the principles that define his legacy-through his story, told in his own words. Discover the mindset that allowed Wilmer to thrive amidst circumstances that seemed set to destroy him. Most of all, allow Wilmer's story to demonstrate that perhaps the greatest tragedy of our existence is that we often forget we have complete control over whether we will make the best of our experience, or the worst of it. Note: This book is in Spanish. An English edition is also available.
