In late July 1263 a public disputation was convened by King James I of Aragon, pitting Friar Paul Christian against the distinguished rabbi of Gerona, Moses ben Nahman. Organized by leading figures in the Dominican Order to give Friar Paul an opportunity to test his innovative missionizing argumentation against a worthy opponent, the spectacle in Barcelona was colorful, impressive, surely somewhat frightening to the Jews, and ultimately indecisive. Both sides claimed victory, and their documented claims have given rise to substantial disagreement among historians over the tone and outcome of this important event. Robert Chazan's masterly analysis reconstructs the Barcelona disputation from the conflicting Christian and Jewish sources and sets it in its broad historical context, with particular attention to the post-disputation maneuvers on both sides. His richly detailed account focuses on Rabbi ben Nahman's eloquent efforts to reassure his fellow Jews in the face of new missionizing pressures.

‘A history of modern Spain told through one of world football's most intense rivalries’ Independent ‘Sports Book of the Year’ Sunday Times It’s Messi vs Ronaldo, it’s Catalonia vs Castilla. It’s the nation against the state, freedom fighters vs Franco’s fascists. It’s majestic goals and mesmerising skills, red cards and bench brawls. It’s the best two teams on the planet going face to face and toe to toe. It’s more than a game. It’s a war. It’s Barcelona vs Real Madrid. Only, it’s not that simple. From the wounds left by the civil war to the teams’ recent global domination, historian and expert on Spanish football, Sid Lowe lifts the lid on sport’s greatest rivalry. Lowe has spoken to the biggest names and the forgotten heroes who defined their clubs. Men like Alfredo Di Stéfano and Johan Cruyff as well as the only survivor of the most politically charged game in history, the Barcelona striker who knocked Madrid out of the European Cup for the first time ever, and the president who celebrated his club’s defining moment by taking a midnight dip in the Thames. By exploring the history, politics, culture, economics and language, while never forgetting the drama on the pitch, Lowe demonstrates the symbiotic nature of the relationship between these two football giants. In doing so he reveals the human story behind this explosive rivalry.

From Cruyff's "Total Football" to the epic rivalry between Guardiola and Mourinho, a gripping chronicle of the rise and fall of Barcelona's dominance in world soccer. Barcelona's style of play -- pressing and possessing -- is the single biggest influence on modern soccer. In The Barcelona Inheritance, Jonathan Wilson reveals how and why this came to pass, offering a deep analysis of the evolution of soccer tactics and style. In the late 1990s, Johan Cruyff's Dream Team was disintegrating and the revolutionary manager had departed, but his style gave birth to a new generation of thinkers, including Pep Guardiola and Joséourinho. Today, their teams are first and second in the Premier League, marking the latest installment in a rivalry that can be traced back twenty-five years. The Barcelona Inheritance is a book about the tactics, the personalities, the friendships, and, in one case, an apocalyptic falling-out that continue to shape the game today.

Centrada en torno a un hecho real, el intercambio de prisioneros de los ejércitos aliado y nazi que se celebró en Barcelona durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, El intercambio es una novela de amor y de amistad, de intriga, espionaje y aventura. En mitad de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los Aliados y Alemania acordaron llevar a cabo un intercambio de soldados prisioneros de Guerra al final de la cruenta campaña militar del Norte de África, En el puerto de Barcelona, que fue el lugar aceptado por ambas partes para el intercambio, cuatro mil soldados, la mitad de cada bando, fueron intercambiados en el muelle de España, el 27 de octubre de 1943, en una operación que supuso la intervención de dos buques de cada bando. Uno de los prisioneros es un judío alemán de 24 años que, en caso de haber sido devuelto a Alemania, corría el riesgo de ser enviado a un campo de concentración. Un grupo de personas unidas por las circunstancias participó en un complot para rescatar de forma muy atrevida a aquel soldado judío, un joven muy guapo y también un gran atleta capaz de cautivar por igual a mujeres y a hombres. «Amor, deber, amistad, espionaje, diplomacia, guerra, renuncia: revive un momento histórico de gran intensidad.

The history of the Popular Front deserves to be told again, even if it is not completely forgotten. Contrary to other historical moments, the Popular Front is frequently evoked, if not quoted, during a speech from the platform, during a political discussion or during an exchange of ideas on culture, for example. However, the perception of the event is fragmented, for many the reference is limited to a few images, even a few stereotypes, the 40 hours of work per week, paid holidays or even culture for all. The event itself is poorly identified - is it an electoral victory, a government policy or rather a social protest movement, but also political, and even ideological and cultural? From this point of view, the reference to anti-fascism also refers to the international situation, despite the weight of the socio-political context of France at that time in understanding what the Popular Front was. A singular event in its time, that of the interwar period, and in the world, it reflects what is particular about France. Although it was not isolated, the Popular Front in France designates an original political reality whose slogan, as well as the project, finds itself carried in other countries of the world by parties, social organizations or governments, but in very different contexts.
