Story
""Kirsten," hviskede Karl, "jeg tror, der sidder en eller anden i vinduet på køkkentrappen." "Det er vel bare én, der sidder og kikker ud." Karl så efter. Hans øjne var ved at vænne sig til halvmørket udenfor. Og nu var han helt sikker. Det var et menneske. Det var manden i vinduet! Han sad i vindueskarmen med ryggen ud mod gården. Og han sad så langt ude, at man kunne se det meste af hans overkrop og den øverste del af hans arme." Karl på 12 vokser op i 1950‘ernes Charlottenlund.

Story
My name is Clarissa Harlowe Barton. Maybe I will have a nickname like “Clara”. When I am 3 years old, I go to school and do well in reading and spelling. In school, I have only one true friend because I am very shy and timid. Now, I am 10 years old. My brother falls off the roof of a barn. He has a bad head injury. I learn how to give medicine to my brother and how to place leeches on his skin to suck out the bad blood. The doctors say there is no hope for him. But, I keep on caring for him. He makes a full recovery. I saved his life!

Story
Lo sport non è fatto solo di vittorie e di sconfitte. È importante anche come si vince e come si perde. Perché essere un campione non significa soltanto conquistare una medaglia, battere un record, dominare nella propria disciplina, ma conquistare un primato morale, saper difendere un ideale nobile, dare un esempio. E combattere contro avversari invisibili e subdoli come la discriminazione razziale, politica o sessuale, contro malattie o infortuni gravissimi, o semplicemente contro regole ingiuste e tradizioni fuori dal tempo.

Story
Brasil, 1667. O jovem Francisco, capturado quando criança e entregue à Igreja, vive como coroinha em Porto Calvo e sonha com a liberdade. Ágil e silencioso, explora o vilarejo à noite, pregando peças, vingando os negros mortos no tronco e aterrorizando feitores e senhores de engenho como um fantasma – ou como um nzumbi, em quimbundo, a língua típica de Angola. Até que surge uma oportunidade de fuga, e Francisco a aproveita, dando início a sua jornada para se tornar quem a história não esqueceria: Zumbi dos Palmares, filho de Angola Janga.

Little Ida is a spruce tree that grows up with a family in Appleton, Wisconsin. Planted next to the house, with a bench nearby, she watches and listens to the comings and goings of Mama Ida, Papa George, and their five daughters, all of whom are unconventional for their time, from the Depression into the early 1970s. Even though Little Ida can’t talk, she certainly has many thoughts and opinions as she observes and chronicles births, deaths, and other family milestones, bringing history to life.
