Paul Schmidt-Thomé Libros

Testigo de excepción de una época convulsa, Paul Schmidt, intérprete oficial de Hitler, vivió en directo los encuentros de los personajes políticos más relevantes de la Europa que va del tratado de Versalles al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En este libro de memorias, Schmidt relata todo lo que sucedía entre bambalinas en la política internacional. Europa entre bastidores es la crónica de la errática política alemana entre 1923 y 1945, escrita por el jefe de los intérpretes del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Alemania, que vio desfilar por el edificio de Wilhelmstrasse a los dirigentes de la República de Weimar y, posteriormente, a los jerarcas nazis. Conoció a personajes como Hitler, Goebbels, Ribbentrop o Goering, y fue testigo de las visitas diplomáticas a Alemania de relevantes políticos como Lloyd George, Lord Halifax, los duques de Windsor, Chamberlain, Mussolini, el conde Ciano o Molotov, así como del encuentro en Hendaya de Hitler y Franco. Schmidt estuvo presente en conferencias internacionales, en encuentros oficiales y en encuentros secretos en una época en la que la diplomacia europea trataba primero de evitar una guerra y se puso después al servicio de las armas. Fue testigo del ascenso al poder del nacionalsocialismo alemán, de los éxitos bélicos de los ejércitos de Hitler, del cambio de rumbo de la guerra y de la progresiva enajenación del Führer.

As an interpreter in the German Foreign Ministry, Paul-Otto Schmidt (1899-1970) was in attendance at some of the most decisive moments of twentieth-century history. Fluent in both English and French, he served as Hitler's translator during negotiations with Chamberlain, the British declaration of war and the surrender of France, as well as translating the Führer's infamous speeches for radio.Having gained favour with the Nazi Party - donning first the uniform of the SS then that of the Luftwaffe - Paul Schmidt was given 'absolute authority' in everything to do with foreign languages. He later presided over the interrogation of Canadian soldiers captured after the 1942 Dieppe Raid.Arrested in May 1945, Schmidt was freed by the Americans in 1948. In 1946 he testified at the Nuremberg Trials, where conversations with him were noted down by the psychiatrist Leon Goldensohn and later published. After the war he taught at the Sprachen und Dolmetscher Institut in Munich.Hitler's Interpreter presents a highly atmospheric account of the bizarre life led behind the scenes at the highest level of the Third Reich. Roger Moorhouse is a historian of the Third Reich. He is the author of the acclaimed Berlin at War, Killing Hitler and The Devil's Pact. He has contributed to He Was My Chief, I Was Hitler's Chauffeur, With Hitler to the End and Hitler's Last Witness.

Arthur Rimbaud is remembered as much for his volatile personality and tumultuous life as he is for his writings, most of which he produced before the age of eighteen. This book brings together his poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year," "After the Flood," and "A Season in Hell," considered by many to be his. 'Complete Works' is divided into eight "seasons" - Childhood, The Open Road, War, The Tormented Heart, The Visionary, The Damned Soul, A Few Belated Cowardices, and The Man with the Wind at His Heels - that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life. Insightful commentary by translator and editor Paul Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters.

With a Foreword by the President of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani. This book sheds light on the political dynamics within the EU member states and contributes to the discussions about Europe. Authors from all member states as well as Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey assess how their country could get more involved in the European debate, taking the reader on a journey through various political landscapes and different views. The chapters cover issues ranging from a perceived lack of ambition at the periphery to a careful balancing act between diverse standpoints at the geographical centre. Yet, discussions share common features such as the anxiety regarding national sovereignty, the migration and border discourse, security concerns as well as the obvious need to regain trust and create policies that work. The book contributes vigorously to the debate about Europe in all capitals and every corner of the continent, because this is where its future will be decided.
