From homicides to stories of cattle rustlers and bounty hunters, the whole mythology of the Wild West is embodied in Billy the Kid.

To this day, she confidently stands by her GDR origins, which many give her high credit, but which also brought her hostility.
- In 2008, at a top-secret facility in Virginia, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is working to uncover the criminal resources that feed the coffers of the Iranian-backed Shiite movement based in Lebanon. The DEA knows that the organization, in order to pursue its military and terrorist activities, is involved in cocaine and arms trafficking to the tune of a billion dollars a year.

- From "The Little Mermaid" to "The Snow Queen", Hans Christian Andersen has left behind a rich collection of stories tinged with magic, but also with tragedy, which have kept a place of honor, from generation to generation, in children's libraries and the collective imagination. At the antipodes of the Grimm brothers' optimistic folk tales, the melancholy of his stories, sometimes crowned with a desperate end, speaks true to children and their parents alike. His tales, whose contemporary popularity also owes much to Disney, earned him immense fame from his maturity, beyond the borders of his native Denmark, even if the rest of his work (he was also a playwright, poet, novelist and short story writer) was hardly successful.
- Originating in ancient India in the 4th century, these dreamlike tales were transmitted orally as far as Persia, then translated and enriched by Arab merchants, before undergoing other influences. The French orientalist Antoine Galland (1646-1715) was the first European to translate the mysterious collection, triggering a veritable craze for these tales, with The Thousand and One Nights becoming the most widely read text after the Bible. The hero Aladdin, in particular, enjoyed a particular and enduring popularity. Yet many people are unaware that neither Aladdin or the Wonderful Lamp, Sinbad the Sailor nor Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves were part of the original version. For centuries, scholars have tried in vain to trace the origins of these orphan stories. The fortuitous discovery of a manuscript in the Vatican Apostolic Library, however, has enabled us to trace their authorship in part: these are extracts from the Memoirs of the Syrian Christian Hanna Dyâb, born in Aleppo in 1688, who in 1709, during a trip to Paris, told some of the tales to Antoine Galland.

- Sometimes reduced to the image of a cursed artist, Amedeo Modigliani, an admirer of the masters of the Italian Renaissance, has traced an unparalleled path in modern art.
- Dublin 1913 was a divided city. For the poor, life in the worst slums in Northern Europe was a daily grind of toil and want, while the well-off lived in comfort and privilege.

The advent of the industrial revolution, liberalism and then globalization have multiplied the sources of conflict.
