Story0
There can be no doubt that military conflict between France and England dominated European history in the 14th and 15th centuries. The Hundred Years War is of considerable interest both because of its duration and the number of theatres in which it was fought. Drawing on the latest research for this new edition, Hundred Years War expert Professor Anne Curry examines how the war can reveal much about the changing nature of warfare: the rise of infantry and the demise of the knight; the impact of increased use of gunpowder and the effect of the war on generations of people.

390 a.C. Le mura che per secoli hanno protetto Roma sembrano destinate a cedere sotto la furia dei guerrieri celti. Dalla cittadella del Campidoglio, il tribuno Quinto Fabio Ambusto assiste con orrore alla strage in cui, con la sua vigliaccheria, ha trascinato la città. L’ira del nemico barbaro si placherà o segnerà la fine della potenza più temuta al mondo, prostrata dal lungo assedio?

An NATO und Warschauer Pakt erinnert die Konstellation zwischen Attischem Seebund und Peloponnesischem Bund: Hier eine Organisation demokratischer Staaten, die sich über ein Meer spannt, dort eine Allianz autokratischer Staaten, die weitgehend einen Block auf dem Land bildet. Beide Vereinigungen werden von einer einzelnen Supermacht dominiert, die ihr politisches System überall durchsetzen will – auch mit robusten Methoden. Die Konfrontation endet zum Glück anders: Nach dem modernen Kalten Krieg triumphierten die Demokratien.

Da oltre duemila anni, Atene rappresenta molto più che una città nell'immaginario occidentale. Il secolo compreso tra le riforme di distene (508) e la morte di Socrate (399) è diventato modello universale, insieme politico e culturale. Politico perché si ritiene che ad Atene sia stata inventata la democrazia, cioè il regime istituzionale e di governo oggi più diffuso nel mondo. Culturale perché ad Atene fiorirono filosofia, storia, teatro, letteratura, arte e architettura che ancora oggi consideriamo riferimenti obbligati.

Il giorno dopo il Grande incendio, Roma offre uno spettacolo di desolazione e distruzione. Tutto è irriconoscibile: gli edifici collassati sono diventati grandi ammassi di macerie, le strade e i vicoli ora sono degli avvallamenti, mentre nell’aria aleggia un acre odore di bruciato. Molti hanno perso tutto ciò che avevano e i campi per gli sfollati diventano la loro unica casa. Tutti guardano all’imperatore per ripartire, aspettano la sua guida per andare verso il futuro. Ma lui non è né un conquistatore di terre come Cesare, né un costruttore di imperi come Augusto.

Per gli antichi le Sirene erano mostri orripilanti, per metà uccelli e per metà donne. Eppure, esse avevano qualcosa che le rendeva irresistibili: la voce, suadente e ammaliatrice. Insieme ad altre figure mitologiche a loro affini come Circe, Calipso ed Elena, le Sirene sono in questo libro le protagoniste della prima tappa di un cammino che, partendo da Omero e a Omero ritornando, si concentra sull'Atene del V secolo, la città della democrazia e della parola.

A görög mitológia történeteinek folytatása sem kevésbé szórakoztató, mint az első rész. Megtudhatjuk többek között, hogy miért kellett Sziszüphosznak bűnhődnie, vagy hogy milyen átok sújtotta Midász királyt. A szerző a maga humoros módján rávilágít, a görög istenek olyanok, mint mi. Erősebbek és bölcsebbek ugyan, de közben ugyanolyan esendőek, és ballépéseikkel, felfokozott szerelmi életükkel, veszekedéseikkel bármikor képesek felforgatni az isteni és az emberi világot.

Belief and Cult argues that belief isn't uniquely Christian but was central to ancient Roman religion. Drawing on cognitive theory, Jacob Mackey shows that despite having nothing to do with salvation or faith, belief underlay every aspect of Roman religious practices—emotions, individual and collective cult action, ritual norms, social reality, and social power. In doing so, he also offers a thorough argument for the importance of belief to other non-Christian religions.

Può sembrare curioso, ma attorno al vino ruota una gran parte dell'identità di Greci e Romani: miti, regole di galateo, codici di comportamento, visioni etiche e filosofiche, religione e molto altro ancora. Con il vino gli eroi di Omero pregano, danno ospitalità e siglano accordi; nella Grecia classica il vino è l'imprescindibile fulcro attorno al quale ruota il simposio, quella 'bevuta collettiva' in cui si rafforzano i vincoli d'amicizia, si intrecciano discorsi, si corteggiano ragazzi e cortigiane.

Der Sturm kommt aus Afrika. In nur wenigen Jahren erobern die Mauren, ein Völkergemisch aus Arabern und Berbern, fast die gesamte Iberische Halbinsel. Nur im kargen Norden Spaniens leisten die Menschen von Asturien erfolgreich Gegenwehr. Die Widerstandsnester sind die Keimzellen der späteren Königreiche Kastilien und León. Während Córdoba mit seinen Palästen, Bädern und Bibliotheken erblüht, baut man im Norden Burgen und Kathedralen. Zum Schutzpatron des Kampfes gegen die Muslime avanciert der Apostel Jakobus, der jetzt unter dem Kampfnamen "Matamoros" verehrt wird – der Maurentöter.

Jonathan Harris’s classic text chronologically surveys Byzantine history in the time of the Crusades. The book reveals the attitudes of the Byzantine ruling elites towards the Crusades and their ultimate inability to adapt to the challenges this presented. Using evidence amassed in a wealth of sources, Harris successfully makes the point that Byzantine interactions with Western Europe, the Crusades and the crusader states is best understood in the nature of the Byzantine Empire and the ideology which underpinned it, rather than in any generalised hostility between the peoples.

Byzantium. The name evokes grandeur and exoticism—gold, cunning, and complexity. In this unique book, Judith Herrin unveils the riches of a quite different civilization. Avoiding a standard chronological account of the Byzantine Empire's millennium-long history, she identifies the fundamental questions about Byzantium—what it was, and what special significance it holds for us today.

This volume, aimed at the general audience, presents life and times of the amazing animals that inhabited Earth more than 500 million years ago. The Cambrian Period was a critical time in Earth's history. During this immense span of time nearly every modern group of animals appeared. Although life had been around for more than 2 million millennia, Cambrian rocks preserve the record of the first appearance of complex animals with eyes, protective skeletons, antennae, and complex ecologies.

"Für die "Integrationsbeauftragten" König Nebukadnezars II. müssen die deportierten Israeliten ein Albtraum gewesen sein. Da hatte man sie aus ihrem muffigen Provinzleben im kargen Bergland von Judäa ins quirlige, lebensstrotzende Babylon geholt, wo sich ihnen alle Chancen eines Weltreiches eröffneten, und was taten sie? Sie "saßen an den Flüssen von Babylon und weinten"!" Diese Sätze schrieb unser Gründer und Herausgeber Dr. Franz Metzger vor 15 Jahren, und sie lesen sich heute so aktuell wie damals.
