In January of 1909, strange tracks began appearing in the snow across New Jersey.They crossed yards. Climbed fences. Appeared on rooftops. Witnesses reported hearing wings outside their homes and seeing something with hooves, glowing eyes, feathers, fur—and occasionally a head like a horse.Schools reportedly closed. Armed posses went looking for it. Newspapers put it on the front page.And suddenly, everyone was talking about an old story from deep inside the Pine Barrens.According to the legend, in

On this day in 1871, fires broke out across Michigan, devastating areas from Holland to Manistee and the Thumb region, claiming over 50 lives. In 2020, the FBI shocked the nation by announcing the arrest of militia members plotting to kidnap Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer.

When Tsar Nicholas II and his family were killed in 1918, the Romanovs had been associated with staggering wealth accumulated over centuries of imperial rule. The Bolsheviks seized the obvious treasures: palaces, artwork, imperial collections, and crown property. But the Romanovs also possessed personal assets—and tracing what happened to money held outside Russia became far more complicated. Funds had been deposited abroad. Jewelry and valuables had crossed borders. Competing claims emerged from

本週我們為《唐玄宗》畫下句點，同時，也要開啟《史記》這個新專題。 . 唐玄宗的晚年，犯過最致命的錯誤就是錯看了一個人——安祿山。 這個曾經差點被斬首的胡人將領，竟然能把皇帝哄得心花怒放。 即使楊國忠在旁邊天天跳腳，多番警告玄宗安祿山必反，他依然覺得不可能。 . 結果，安祿山果真起兵造反，曾經盛極一時的大唐盛世，就這樣結束在安史之亂裡， 雖然後來又苟延殘喘了一百多年，但那個意氣風發、萬國來朝的大唐，終究是回不去了。 . 接下來，我要來講講我人生中的偶像——司馬遷。 我從小想要念歷史（當然我從小還有很多願望，從來不太專一）， 就是因為司馬遷。那麼悲憤的人生，那麼燦爛的著作。 史記是歷史也是小説，是史學也是文學。 . 【資訊欄】 .

Loin de la scène, le quotidien de Sarah Bernhardt est un théâtre perpétuel. Fuyant l'ennui comme la peste, la tragédienne a un besoin viscéral de mouvement, de nouveauté et d'extravagance. Celle qui avait pour devise et philosophie : « Haïr très peu, mépriser beaucoup, pardonner souvent, mais ne jamais oublier », aura vu son ultime souhait magnifiquement exaucé car aujourd'hui encore, l’Histoire n’a absolument jamais oublié la grande Sarah Bernhardt."Secrets d'Histoire" est un podcast d'Initial
