      Es el año 2140 y Anna no debería estar viva. Tampoco los niños que viven con ella en Grange Hall. La instalación está llena de niños como ella, cuyos padres decidieron abusar imprudentemente de la Madre Naturaleza y tener hijos a pesar de una ley que lo prohíbe mientras tomen medicamentos de longevidad. Para saldar la deuda de sus padres con la Madre Naturaleza, Anna tendrá que trabajar el resto de su vida. Pero entonces aparece Peter en el hogar y cuenta una historia muy diferente sobre el mundo exterior. Peter le suplica a Anna que escape de Grange Hall y reclame una vida para sí misma fuera de sus sombrías paredes. Pero incluso si logran salir, aún deben llegar a Londres, a los padres de Anna y a un movimiento clandestino decidido a devolver a los niños y deshacerse de los medicamentos de longevidad.

    • "Adolf Hitler's father was an upwardly mobile man. (...) The son began as a downward spiral." With these words, Sebastian Haffner's compelling and acclaimed work on Hitler begins. This book, published in 1978, remains significant today and contributes greatly to the understanding of German history and its present. Haffner, known as one of the most original journalists of the post-war German press, gained worldwide fame through this book. His merit lies in presenting an unvarnished view of Hitler. The chapter titles—"Life," "Achievements," "Successes," "Errors," "Mistakes," "Crimes," "Betrayal"—reflect this approach. Haffner demonstrates that the course of history does not inevitably lead to catastrophe but is influenced by individuals and personalities, for better or worse. This work is recommended for those unfamiliar with it or wishing to revisit it, as it is not merely another biography. In 200 pages, it offers a clear perspective on the main themes and lines of Hitler's life, inviting immediate comprehensive reading.
