The German-language Swiss daily newspaper Tages-Anzeiger published an interview with British historian Antony Beevor in its 6 May 2025 edition.




‘I fear that we are once again facing a very cruel and brutal period.’


Eighty years after the end of the Second World War, we are still unable to understand dictators, claims British historian Antony Beevor. Because the next great war has long since begun.




The article is illustrated with a photograph taken in August 2018 during his visit to Stockholm.

La nuit au cœur intertwines three stories of women who are victims of violence at the hands of their partners. Walking the line between strength and humility, Nathacha Appanah examines the unbearable enigma of domestic femicide, when the dark night takes the place of love.
