Churchill's schooldays are undistinguished, but he is admitted to Sandhurst and embarks on a career as a soldier and a war correspondent, seeing action in Cuba, in India, in the Sudan - where he took part in the battle of Omdurman, of which he gives us a stirring account - and finally in South Africa.

Story0
Delve into the fascinating early lives of Dante, as depicted in two biographical accounts penned by influential Florentine literary figures. Giovanni Boccaccio, a pioneering Italian poet renowned for his monumental work, The Decameron, was one of the first to employ the Italian vernacular in literature, like Dante himself. Lionardo Bruni, a respected historian and man of letters, drew inspiration from Boccaccios account but sought to correct what he saw as a misrepresentation of Dante - an over-emphasis on Beatrices influence. This collection also features insightful articles by Florentine ...

Story0
Leading into the 400th anniversary of the voyage of the Mayflower, Martyn Whittock examines the lives of the "saints" (members of the Separatist Puritan congregations) and "strangers" (economic migrants) on the original ship. Collectively, these people would become known to history as "the Pilgrims". The story of the Pilgrims has taken on a life of its own as one of our founding national myths - their escape from religious persecution, the dangerous transatlantic journey, that brutal first winter.
