Seit Jahrzehnten führen Sozialwissenschaftler und politisch interessierte Zeitgenossen einen Streit um die Typologie des Franco-Regimes in Spanien (1936/1939-1975). Die Brisanz des Themas liegt darin, dass es sich nicht nur um eine wissenschaftliche, sondern zugleich um eine politisch-ideologische Debatte handelt. Setzten die Diskutierenden den Franquismus zuerst mit Faschismus gleich, kamen (vor allem in der Phase des Kalten Krieges) alternat...

Someone dying. Plague has hit the world wiping out most of the human ...

This is a book of poetry, the twelfth in the Curves series, emphasizing the beauty and the fire in love, lust, passion, via a collection of poems worded raw or clever, rhyme or free verse, serious or humorous, and mostly a mix of all. There is nothing trite to it, there is nothing rude to it, there is nothing innocent to it. There is everything that could burn a hole in your heart to it.
