Story0
Der Roman begleitet Verdi auf seiner Reise nach Venedig im Jahr 1883. Dort begegnet er überall dem Schatten Richard Wagners, seines bedeutendsten künstlerischen Rivalen und Sinnbild einer neuen musikalischen Epoche. Wagners plötzlicher Tod erschüttert Verdi – und zwingt ihn, sich seiner eigenen künstlerischen Identität zu stellen. Werfel verbindet historische Realität, psychologische Tiefe und die emotionale Kraft der Oper zu einem faszinierenden literarischen Porträt.

Året är 1938. Genom ett grönskande landskap susar en amerikansk lyxbil fram i hög fart. Bakom ratten sitter restaurangdirektör Kurt Haijby, på väg mot sin senaste investering, slottet Trystorp i Närke. Han gläder sig åt att äntligen kunna förverkliga sina drömmar; allt har blivit möjligt tack vare de generösa utbetalningarna från hovet. Vad ingen vet är att Kurt har ett förbjudet förhållande med kungen, Gustaf V, och att det är denna relation som tillåter honom att leva i lyx.

La biografía comienza en medio de la batalla, allí donde el santo siempre estuvo, sobre todo en su vida espiritual, como soldado de Jesús. No es fácil encerrar en unas cuantas páginas la vida de San Ignacio de Loyola, pero eso se ha pretendido, hacer un resumen novelado de los acontecimientos que forjaron a uno de los grandes santos de la iglesia, cuya repercusión aún alcanza en nuestros tiempos, no solamente con su gran fundación, la Compañía de Jesús, sino con sus ejercicios ignacianos.

In his lifetime, Mark Antony was a famous man. Ally and avenger of Julius Caesar, rhetorical target of Cicero, lover of Cleopatra, and mortal enemy of Octavian (the future emperor Augustus), Antony played a leading role in the transformation of the Roman world. Ever since his and Cleopatra's demise at the hands of Octavian, he has remained famous, or infamous, a figure of recurring fascination. A Noble Ruin delivers a complex and captivating portrait of Mark Antony that offers a fresh perspective on the fall of the Roman Republic.

Story1
Pompey, Caesar, Cicero, Brutus, Antony: the names resonate across thousands of years. Major figures in the civil wars that brutally ended the Roman republic, their lives still haunt us as examples of how the hunger for personal power can overwhelm collective politics, how the exaltation of the military can corrode civilian authority, and how the best intentions can lead to disastrous consequences. Plutarch renders these history-making lives as flesh-and-blood characters.

Dans ce second et dernier volume dédié à l'histoire romaine, l'immense Isaac Asimov emmène ses lecteurs à travers les quatre siècles durant lesquels Rome assura son hégémonie sur le monde occidental, apportant la paix à une centaine de millions de personnes, tout en développant deux des plus conséquents héritages de l'Antiquité : le droit et le christianisme. Se plaçant en chroniqueur lucide, Asimov, au moyen d'anecdotes savoureuses et d'apartés, relie la grande histoire, celle des batailles et des empereurs, à la « petite », celle du quotidien et des masses anonymes.

In 1895, archaeologists excavating a villa outside Pompeii unearthed a hoard of Roman silverware. Among the treasures was a bowl featuring a female figure with thick, curly hair, deep-set eyes, a slightly hooked nose and a strong jaw, and sporting an elephant scalp headdress. Modern scholars believe this woman to be a depiction of Cleopatra Selene, daughter of the infamous Cleopatra and Mark Antony. Using this discovery as her starting point, Jane Draycott recreates the life and times of a remarkable woman.

Belisarius and Antonina were titans in the Roman world some 1,500 years ago. Belisarius was the most well-known general of his age, victor over the Persians, conqueror of the Vandals and the Goths, and as if this were not enough, wealthy beyond imagination. She made a name for herself by traveling with Belisarius on his military campaigns, deposing a pope, and scheming to disgrace important Roman officials. This unadulterated power and wealth did not mean that Belisarius and Antonina were universally successful in all that they undertook.

As emperor, Julian set about reforming the administration, conquering new territories, and reviving ancient religions. He was scorned in his time for repudiating Christianity and demonized as an apostate for willfully rejecting Christ. Through the centuries, Julian has been viewed by many as a tragic figure who sought to save Rome from its enemies and the corrupting influence of Christianity. Christian writers and historians have seen Julian much differently: as a traitor to God and violent oppressor of Christians.

Suetonius wrote his Lives of the Twelve Caesars in the reign of Vespasian around 70AD. He chronicled the extraordinary careers of Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasian, and Domitian and the rest in technicolour terms. They presented some high and low times at the heart of the Roman Empire. The accounts provide us with perspicacious insights into the men as much as their reigns.

Story0
Few philosophers have so extensively influenced thought and language as Aristotle. His conception of the universe pervades Christian theology. Knowledge of his thought is necessary to understand Bacon, Galileo and the modern scientific view of nature, as well as Dante and many passages from Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton. Many phrases such as "liberal education" and "theory" contrasted with "practice" originated with this student of Plato and tutor of Alexander the Great. Writing to inform the beginner and stimulate the expert, eminent scholar A.E. Taylor presents a searching analysis of Aristotle's thought, including classification of the sciences; formal logic; theory of knowledge; matter and form; the four causes; God; physics; biology; sensation; ethics; theory of the state; the fine arts. He also considers Aristotle's provincialism, errors regarding the nervous system and astronomy, and defense of slavery.

The emperor Nero's reign is one weird tale of sexual depravity and extravagant sadism. He was a gifted musician, and is said to have given great concerts of which attendance was compulsory; women were said to have given birth during the performance, and men were driven to fake death to escape. Nero kicked his pregnant wife to death and then had a young boy castrated to replace her as his spouse; then, during the great fire of Rome, he is said to have played the lyre to emphasize the beauty of the destruction. His eccentricities are a continuation of the tradition of his predecessors, only more perverted; Suetonius' account portray a strange man in strange times.

The emperor Caligula was one of the strangest and cruelest rulers that ever lived, and most of what is known about his reign comes from Suetonius. The first six months of his reign appear to have been moderate and successful; but after that, he fell into a spiral of sadism, sexual perversity, and plain insanity that made him one of the most hated tyrants of all time.
