Proto
How One Ancient Language Went Global'The fascinating story of the ancient words that survive in the mouths of billions of speakers today.' Henry Oliver, The Guardian 'Proto will take the reader on an unlikely historical odyssey … most importantly, it shows that we are more connected than we might have been led to believe.' New Statesman 'A magisterial feat … It is clever, careful, expansive, insightful and a host of other fine Indo-European adjectives.' New Scientist 'Bringing together genetic, archaeological and linguistic research, Spinney tells the fascinating story of the common ancestor of many languages spoken around the world today.' Financial Times 'An enormously refreshing and readable history of worlds that were physically far apart but, in a sense, spoke with a single voice.' David Abulafia, Literary Review 'A compelling portrait of a people thought lost to time … a remarkable account of humanity’s quest to rediscover its ancient origins.' Wall Street Journal 'Beguiling and revelatory… Spinney is a stylish and erudite writer.' Laura Miller, Slate 'Intriguing, lively … something for everyone.' Nature 'The fascinating tale of how a tiny, long-lost ancestral language, Proto-Indo-European, gave birth to a great family of languages … death and life are in the power of the tongue' Michael Hurley, BBC Radio 4 Thought for the Day 'A lively and fascinating account. I loved it!' David Bellos, author of Is That a Fish in your Ear? 'Formidably researched but lightly written, I put down this book with the pleasurable sense that the world around me had become a little stranger and richer.' Helen Gordon, author of Notes from Deep Time ‘Superb. With style and panache, Laura Spinney tells a truly extraordinary detective story.’ Matt Ridley, author of The Evolution of Everything ‘An extraordinary journey through human history with words as a compass. It is a sweeping story beautifully told. Profound and illuminating.’ Moudhy Al-Rashid, author of Between Two Rivers

1918. L'influenza spagnola. La pandemia che cambiò il mondo
Quando si chiede qual è stato il principale disastro del XX secolo, quasi nessuno risponde l¿influenza spagnola. Davvero l¿abbiamo dimenticata? Eppure nel 1918 ha letteralmente cambiato il mondo uccidendo in soli due anni milioni di persone. Tra le vittime anche artisti e intellettuali del calibro di Guillaume Apollinaire, Egon Schiele e Max Weber. Nonostante l¿entità della tragedia, le conseguenze sono rimaste a lungo offuscate dalla devastazione della Prima guerra mondiale e relegate a un ruolo secondario. Laura Spinney ricostruisce la storia della pandemia seguendone le tracce in tutto il globo, dall¿India al Brasile, dalla Persia alla Spagna, dal Sudafrica all¿Ucraina. Inquadrandola da un punto di vista scientifico, storico, economico e culturale, l¿autrice le restituisce il posto che le spetta nella storia del Novecento quale fattore in grado di dare forma al mondo moderno, influenzando la politica globale e il nostro modo di concepire la medicina, la religione, l¿arte. Attraverso queste pagine si legge il passato, ma si può tentare di immaginare il futuro: la prossima pandemia influenzale, le armi a disposizione per combatterla e i potenziali punti deboli dei nostri sistemi sanitari. Arriveremmo preparati ad affrontare un¿eventuale emergenza?

Der Urknall unserer Sprache
Bestsellerautorin Laura Spinney erzählt die Frühgeschichte unserer Sprache. Eine spektakuläre Reise in die Lebenswelt und Kultur unserer VorfahrenGriechische Tragödien, indische Veden, römische Mythologie, "Beowulf" und "Der Herr der Ringe" - all diese Erzählungen sind durch eine gemeinsame Sprache und deren Sprecher verbunden, den Indoeuropäern. Wer waren diese Menschen, wie lebten unsere Vorfahren? Dank bahnbrechender Erkenntnisse aus Linguistik, Archäologie und Genetik erzählt Bestsellerautorin Laura Spinney die unvergleichliche Entstehung unserer Ursprache.

Laura Spinney erweckt den Alltag und die Sprache dieser Menschen zum Leben und zeigt, wie eng Ost und West miteinander verbunden sind. Eine faszinierende Reise zu den Ursprüngen unserer Kultur.

1918 - Die Welt im Fieber
Die vergessene Pandemie Der Erste Weltkrieg geht zu Ende, und eine weitere Katastrophe fordert viele Millionen Tote: die Spanische Grippe. Binnen weniger Wochen erkrankt ein Drittel der Weltbevölkerung. Trotzdem sind die Auswirkungen auf Gesellschaft, Politik und Kultur weitgehend unbekannt. Ob in Europa, Asien oder Afrika, an vielen Orten brachte die Grippe die Machtverhältnisse ins Wanken. Anhand von Schicksalen auf der ganzen Welt öffnet Laura Spinney das Panorama dieser Epoche. Sie füllt eine klaffende Lücke in der Geschichtsschreibung und erlaubt einen völlig neuen Blick auf das Schicksalsjahr 1918. 'Spinney analysiert, warum wir den Ersten Weltkrieg nicht ohne die Spanische Grippe verstehen können. Ein Perspektivenwechsel, so brillant wie überfällig.' SPIEGEL online
