Duarte da Silva (1596-1688), cristão-novo, colocou a sua fortuna ao serviço da Restauração de Portugal. Preso pela Inquisição durante cinco anos, foi responsável pelo dote do casamento de D. Catarina de Bragança com Carlos II, que o levou à prisão durante um ano por ter falhado pagamentos. Depois de tentar o regresso a Portugal, morreu como judeu em Antuérpia. Poderia ser o resumo da sua vida num tweet. Duarte da Silva era, no reinado de D. João IV, «o homem de negócio mais importante do império, ao ponto de ser conhecido com o “banqueiro do Rei”». Esta figura, de que não conhecemos rosto, movia-se de forma discreta pelo mundo e pelos negócios e esteve sempre presente nos momentos em que o reino, que buscava regressar à sua independência, necessitou da sua ajuda financeira, mesmo quando se encontrava preso numa das celas no Palácio dos Estaus, sede do Tribunal da Santa Inquisição, em Lisboa, em cujos baixos, as salas de tormentos, foi torturado. A sua detenção e prisão durante cinco anos tornou-se um dos episódios mais debatidos do reinado de D. João IV, tanto na época como na historiografia portuguesa.

Lisbon had a pivotal role in the history of World War II, though not a gun was fired there. The only European city in which both the Allies and the Axis power operated openly, it was temporary home to much of Europe's exiled royalty, over one million refugees seeking passage to the U.S., and a host of spies, secret police, captains of industry, bankers, prominent Jews, writers and artists, escaped POWs, and black marketeers. An operations officer writing in 1944 described the daily scene at Lisbon's airport as being like the movie “Casablanca,” times twenty. In this riveting narrative, renowned historian Neill Lochery draws on his relationships with high-level Portuguese contacts, access to records recently uncovered from Portuguese secret police and banking archives, and other unpublished documents to offer a revelatory portrait of the War's back stage. And he tells the story of how Portugal, a relatively poor European country trying frantically to remain neutral amidst extraordinary pressures, survived the war not only physically intact but significantly wealthier. The country's emergence as a prosperous European Union nation would be financed in part, it turns out, by a cache of Nazi gold.

Along with The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas and Dom Casmurro, Quincas Borba is one of Machado de Assis' major works and indeed one of the major works of nineteenth century fiction. With his uncannily postmodern sensibility, his delicious wit, and his keen insight into the political and social complexities of the Brazilian Empire, Machado opens a fascinating world to English speaking readers. When the mad philosopher Quincas Borba dies, he leaves to his friend Rubião the entirety of his wealth and property, with a single stipulation: Rubião must take care of Quincas Borba's dog, who is also named Quincas Borba, and who may indeed have assumed the soul of the dead philosopher. Flush with his newfound wealth, Rubião heads for Rio de Janeiro and plunges headlong into a world where fantasy and reality become increasingly difficult to keep separate. Brilliantly translated by Gregory Rabassa, Quincas Borba is a masterful satire not only on life in Imperial Brazil but the human condition itself.

The revolutions of 1848 which broke out across the world are among the landmark events of the nineteenth century. The experiences of this tumultuous period helped to crystallise and sharpen the ideas of Marx and Engels. Written in the midst of events, in a profound and detailed application of historical materialism, Marx reveals that the political and social changes taking place in revolutionary and counter-revolutionary France have their root in the economic changes affecting European capitalism. Included is Engels' uncensored introduction to the 1895 edition. Here, Engels provides historical context and shows how this period relates to subsequent events in France – including the Paris Commune – as well as explaining the development of Marx and Engels' own conception of scientific socialism.

"Cousin Bazilio is a tale of sexual folly and hyprocrisy and vividly depicts bourgeois life in nineteenth-century Lisbon. Eca gives us a whole gallery of characters from Bazilio, the suave villain to Jorge, the smugly uxorious husband, from Luiza, the bored, empty-headed wife to Juliana, the plain, ailing maidservant desperate, by whatever means, to grab some of life's little luxuries, from Leopoldina, nicknamed 'the Ever-Open Door', to Joana the cook and her affair with the tubercular carpenter who lives opposite, and the voluminous Dona Felicidade who nurses an entirely unrequited passion for the unbearably pompous Acacio, who lives in concubinage with his much younger housekeeper, who is also having an affair."--BOOK JACKET.
