Todos los niños de Winton

Autor: Alberto F. Ruiz

Número de Páginas: 171

Todos los niños de Winton es la tercera obra literaria del escritor Albert F. Ruiz, nacido y afincado en la costa mediterránea, completando así la trilogía formada por "El tercer anticristo y el cuarto Reich" y "La maldición de los tres gemelos". Esta nueva novela está basada en la vida de Nicholas Winton, un inglés de origen judío que logró salvar a 669 niños hebreos de una muerte segura a manos de los nazis en el preámbulo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Tras la contienda la historia permaneció oculta varias décadas, aflorando en la senectud del personaje. A pesar de la reflexión y sabiduría que aportan los años, se ve envuelto en una trama de extorsión en lo que constituirá la última aventura de su vida.

Autor: Fabiano Massimi

Número de Páginas: 321

Un thriller trepidante sobre el hombre que salvó a más de seiscientos niños checoeslovacos del nazismo, por el premiado autor de El ángel de Múnich . «Un fresco intrigante que recorre una de las páginas más oscuras de la historia». Patrizia Violi, La Lettura Praga, 1938. La sombra de Hitler se cierne sobre Checoslovaquia. Unos voluntarios británicos liderados por Nicholas Winton, un joven agente de bolsa, se vuelcan en sacar del país en tren y en avión a los niños judíos para llevarlos a Reino Unido. Solo cuentan con la ayuda de Petra, su guía local, que se une a sus actividades clandestinas. En el centro de su empresa se encuentra la misteriosa Niña de la Sal, que todas las noches vende bolsitas de este codiciado ingrediente en las calles de la ciudad. Nadie conoce su nombre ni cómo consigue el preciado bien, pero corre un grave peligro: un gigantesco oficial alemán la está buscando. Una poderosa novela basada en unos hechos reales nunca desvelados hasta 1988, cuando un documental de la BBC hizo pública la lista de los niños, convirtiendo a Nicholas Winton en un héroe y en candidato a Premio Nobel de la Paz. Massimi nos regala un viaje entre la historia y la ...

The Fiction of Tim Winton

Autor: Lyn Mccredden

Número de Páginas: 169

In The Fiction of Tim Winton, Lyn McCredden explores the work of a major Australian author who bridges the literary–popular divide. Tim Winton has won the Miles Franklin Literary Award a record four times and has twice been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. His novels and short stories are widely studied in schools and universities, and have been lauded by critics both in Australia and internationally. Unusually for an Australian literary author, he is also one of the country’s most enduringly popular writers: Cloudstreet was voted “Australia’s favourite book” in a poll conducted by the ABC, his books regularly appear on bestseller lists, and his stories have been adapted for the stage, television, cinema and opera. In this wide-ranging study of Winton’s work and career, McCredden considers how Winton has sustained a strong mainstream following while exploring complex themes and moving between genres. Attending to both secular and sacred frames of reference, she considers his treatment of class, gender, place, landscape and belonging, and shows how a compassion for human falling and redemption permeates his work. She demonstrates how his engagement with these...

Tales from Bush Graves – Winton

As the country to the north of Australia was being explored and taken up by men from Victoria and New South Wales hoping to make their fortune, other men were making their way out west, also keen to make good. Sesbania was one of the earliest selections taken up by John and James Nisbett. Douglas Harper was working on Sesbania, when he shot himself, whether accidentally or purposely is unknown. He was an Overseer, and died on 12th November, 1878. This is the earliest recorded death in this book. William Russel Myers was a shearer probably working on Manuka, or making his way there. He died from exhaustion and thirst on 3rd December, 1878. George Laxton who was a blacksmith, died at Mills Creek, also from thirst and exhaustion. He was probably walking to the next job, but died on 16th February, 1879, and was buried at Mills Creek, on Manuka. These three were just the beginning of dozens of men, women and children who lost their lives through thirst, exhaustion, accident, fever and murder. This book was written to record their lives and deaths in the Winton area of western Queensland.

The Winton M. Blount Postal History Symposia Select Papers, 2010-2011

Autor: Thomas M. Lera

Número de Páginas: 148

Rarely do scholars of postal organizations and systems meet and discuss their ideas and research with scholars of philately. In an attempt to bridge this gap, the National Postal Museum and the American Philatelic Society hosted the first Winton M. Blount Postal History symposium on 3-4 November 2006 to bring together these two research groups to discuss postal history. This publication covers the next two symposia. The 2010 theme was "Stamps and the Mail: Images, Icons and Identity." Stamps, as official government documents, can be treated as primary resources designed to convey specific political and esthetic messages. Other topics and themes for the symposium were stamp design's influence on advertising envelopes and bulk mailings, censorship of stamps as propaganda as used on letters, and the role of the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee or organizations that generate the designs. The 2011 symposium was held at the American Philatelic Center in conjunction with the United States Stamp Society's annual meeting. The United States Stamp Society is the preeminent organization devoted to the study of U.S. stamps. It is a nonprofit, volunteer-run association of collectors to...
