Um livro inquietante que reconstitui os mecanismos de violência e corrupção que estão na origem da riqueza de várias das dinastias empresariais mais poderosas do mundo. Bilionários nazistas é uma prova de que o resgate da memória histórica sobre esse sinistro período continua relevante e necessário. A história do nazismo na Alemanha é inseparável das biografias dos industriais e financistas que ajudaram Adolf Hitler a conquistar o poder absoluto e lucraram milhões com as atrocidades do Terceiro Reich — são nomes como os Von Finck, Porsche, Oetker e Quandt. Aduladores e inescrupulosos, eles ampliaram seus impérios através do roubo de propriedades judaicas e da exploração do trabalho forçado de vítimas da barbárie nazista, além da fabricação de armas e munições. A brandura do julgamento de seus crimes no pós-guerra possibilitou a continuidade de suas dinastias empresariais, cujos herdeiros acumulam fortunas e administram marcas mundialmente famosas até hoje, como Volkswagen, Dr. Oetker, BMW e Allianz. E por que, depois de tantas décadas, eles ainda estão fazendo tão pouco para reconhecer os crimes de seus antepassados? Debruçado sobre milhares de documentos e fontes originais, além de abrangentes pesquisas historiográficas, o jornalista e historiador David de Jong — holandês de origem judaica — disseca as origens obscuras das fortunas multiplicadas a ferro e fogo entre 1933 e 1945. Neste livro, seu trabalho de estreia, o autor faz um chamado ao resgate da memória do genocídio nazista, tarefa primordial em tempos de ressurgência do extremismo antidemocrático. "O desafio, como De Jong nos lembra, é reatualizar essa história para continuamente encontrar novas maneiras de trazê-la para o presente." — Adam Tooze, Professor de história da Universidade de Columbia e diretor do European Institute Depois de ler este livro você nunca mais dirigirá um Volkswagen, fará um seguro residencial com a Allianz ou comprará uma pizza Dr. Oetker no mercado sem um certo mal-estar. De Jong, com o talento do bom jornalista que é, permite que os fatos falem por si mesmos. E nos deixa impressionados com o poder da ganância". — The Daily Telegraph "Com seus relatos meticulosamente construídos de indivíduos e famílias alemãs, incluindo judeus que foram expropriados, Bilionários nazistas sugere que até hoje as reparações dos lucros que alguns colheram em uma era de horror não foram feitas." — Samuel Moyn, professor da Universidade de Yale "O fato de algumas das maiores fortunas da Alemanha estarem profundamente entrelaçadas com as ignomínias do Terceiro Reich deveria ser muito mais conhecido — e, graças a este livro, será." — Bradley Hope, New York Times, autor de Billion Dollar Whale

Some people lost their sense of proportion, others their sense of scale, but Simon Dykes, a middle-aged, successful London painter, has lost his sense of perspective in a most disturbing fashion. After a night of routine, pedestrian debauchery, traipsing from toilet to toilet, and imbibing a host of narcotics on the way, Simon wakes up cuddled in his girlfriend’s loving arms. Much to his dismay, however, his girlfriend has turned into a chimpanzee. To add insult to injury, the psychiatric crash team sent to deal with him as he flips his lid is also comprised of chimps. Indeed, the entire city is overrun by clever primates, who, when they are not jostling for position, grooming themselves, or mating some of the females, can be found driving Volvos, hanging out on street corners, and running the world. Nonetheless convinced that he is still a human, Simon is confined to the emergency psychiatric ward of Charing Cross Hospital, where he becomes the patient of Dr. Zack Busner, clinical psychologist, medical doctor, anti-psychiatrist, and former television personality—an expert at the height of his reign as alpha male. As Busner attempts to convince him that “everyone who is fully sentient in this world are chimpanzees,” Simon struggles with the horrifying delusion that he is really a human trapped in a chimp’s body. Written with the same brilliant satiric wit that has distinguised Self’s earlier fiction, Great Apes is a hilarious, often disturbing, and absolutely original take on man’s place in the evolutionary chain. In a strange and twisted tale that recalls Jonathan Swift and Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Will Self’s comic genius is impossible to ignore.

Hurt people hurt people. Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer's assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He's blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.

"Splendid" —New York Times "Mind-bending." —Wall Street Journal "Brilliantly original. The best new novel I've read this year." —Salman Rushdie A daring, kaleidoscopic novel about the clash of empires and ideas, told through a tennis match in the sixteenth century between the radical Italian artist Caravaggio and the Spanish poet Francisco de Quevedo, played with a ball made from the hair of the beheaded Anne Boleyn. The poet and the artist battle it out in Rome before a crowd that includes Galileo, a Mary Magdalene, and a generation of popes who would throw the world into flames. In England, Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII execute Anne Boleyn, and her crafty executioner transforms her legendary locks into those most-sought-after tennis balls. Across the ocean in Mexico, the last Aztec emperors play their own games, as the conquistador Hernán Cortés and his Mayan translator and lover, La Malinche, scheme and conquer, fight and f**k, not knowing that their domestic comedy will change the course of history. In a remote Mexican colony a bishop reads Thomas More’s Utopia and thinks that it’s a manual instead of a parody. And in today’s New York City, a man searches for answers to impossible questions, for a book that is both an archive and an oracle. Álvaro Enrigue’s mind-bending story features assassinations and executions, hallucinogenic mushrooms, bawdy criminals, carnal liaisons and papal schemes, artistic and religious revolutions, love and war. A blazingly original voice and a postmodern visionary, Enrigue tells the grand adventure of the dawn of the modern era, breaking down traditions and upending expectations, in this bold, powerful gut-punch of a novel. Game, set, match. “Sudden Death is the best kind of puzzle, its elements so esoteric and wildly funny that readers will race through the book, wondering how Álvaro Enrigue will be able to pull a novel out of such an astonishing ball of string. But Enrigue absolutely does; and with brilliance and clarity and emotional warmth all the more powerful for its surreptitiousness.” —Lauren Groff, New York Times-bestselling author of Fates and Furies "Engrossing... rich with Latin and European history." —The New Yorker "[A] bawdy, often profane, sprawling, ambitious book that is as engaging as it is challenging.” —Vogue

In 1918 Adolf Hitler was penniless: within 25 years he was probably the richest man in Europe. In his fascinating book the author sets out to discover not only the extent of Hitler's fortune but how it was amassed and with whose help. He finds that royalties of Mein Kampf represent only the tip of the iceberg. His publishing company Eher Verlag and his fund Adolf Hitler Spende, which many 'voluntarily' contributed to, turn out to be much more important. We learn how Hitler's attraction to the opposite sex proved hugely lucrative. This book also traces what happened to the property, the funds, the art collection, and other items after 1945 and reveals who is - and who is trying to -profit today from the legacy of Adolf Hitler. Amongst items never before revealed is recently discovered evidence for two of Hitler's bank accounts; the truth about the financing of Hitler's publishing empire; and many other previously undisclosed facts.
