Rome - Christopher Hibbert
This beautifully written, informative study is a portrait, a history and a superb guide book, capturing fully the seductive beauty and the many layered past of the Eternal City. It covers 3,000 years of history from the city’s quasi-mythical origins, through the Etruscan kings, the opulent glory of classical Rome, the decadence and decay of the Middle Ages and the beauty and corruption of the Renaissance, to its time at the heart of Mussolini’s fascist Italy. Exploring the city’s streets and buildings, peopled with popes, gladiators, emperors, noblemen and peasants, this volume details the turbulent and dramatic history of Rome in all its depravity and grandeur.

Mussolini - Christopher Hibbert
Britský historik Christopher Hibbert vykresluje rozporuplnou osobnost italského fašistického vůdce Benita Mussoliniho s mimořádnou pečlivostí, zároveň čtivě a poučeně, jak je ostatně jeho zvykem. Mussolini se narodil v neděli odpoledne v roce 1888 ve středoitalské vesnici. V sobotu odpoledne v roce 1945 byl zastřelen komunistickými partyzány na břehu Comského jezera. Behem šedesáti dvou let mezi těmito dvěma osudovými odpoledni prožil italský duce život tak dramatický, že se mu v moderních dějinách málokdo vyrovná. Hibbert mapuje Mussoliniho nezastavitelnou cestu k moci a drobné nuance fašistické ideologie, již Mussolini stvořil. Zamýšlí se i nad stopami, které Mussolini zanechal v soudobém myšlení a ptá se, proč je tato osobnost v Itálii dodnes předmětem vypjatých vášní, zlořečení i úcty..

Borgiové a jejich nepřátelé (1431-1519) - Christopher Hibbert
Renomovaný britský spisovatel Christopher Hibbert, který je autorem více než padesáti populárně historických knih a životopisů, měl ve zvláštní oblibě Itálii. Jistě i proto se rozhodl vylíčit, jak se španělskému rodu Borgiů podařilo vyšvihnout se v této zemi i v církvi do nejvyšších mocenských pozic. Ústřední postavou dynastie jsou Rodrigo Borgia, tj. papež Alexandr VI., jeho proslulá dcera Lucrezia a syn Cesare, kterému zajistil nesmrtelnost Machiavelliho spis Vladař. Je pověst Borgiů - nemravů, hýřilů, vrahů, kariéristů, úplatkářů, ale i vojenských velitelů a mecenášů umění - zasloužená? Hibbert si klade otázku, zda životní styl rodu vedl po zásluze k tomu, že se jejich jméno stalo synonymem mravní zkaženosti, nepotismu a hrabivosti. V dramatických, čtivě a barvitě vykreslených osudech Borgiů, které autor hojně dokládá i citacemi z dobových pramenů, se zároveň zrcadlí složité poměry renesanční Itálie.

Twelve Voices from Greece and Rome - Christopher Pelling, Maria Wyke
Twelve Voices from Greece and Rome is a book for all readers who want to know more about the literature that underpins Western civilization. Chistopher Pelling and Maria Wyke provide a vibrant and distinctive introduction to twelve of the greatest authors from ancient Greece and Rome, writers whose voices still resonate strongly across the centuries: Homer, Sappho, Herodotus, Euripides, Thucydides, Plato, Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Horace, Juvenal and Tacitus. To what vital ideas do these authors give voice? And why are we so often drawn to what they say even in modern times? Twelve Voices investigates these tantalizing questions, showing how these great figures from classical antiquity still address some of our most fundamental concerns in the world today (of war and courage, dictatorship and democracy, empire, immigration, city life, art, madness, irrationality, and religious commitment), and express some of our most personal sentiments (about family and friendship, desire and separation, grief and happiness). These twelve classical voices can sound both compellingly familiar and startlingly alien to the twenty-first century reader. Yet they remain suggestive and inspiring, despite being rooted in their own times and places, and have profoundly affected the lives of those prepared to listen to them right up ...

The Enemies of Rome - Philip Matyszak
The gripping stories of the most colourful and formidable characters to challenge the might of Rome. Until recently, it was assumed that Rome carried the torch of civilization into the barbarian darkness, bringing law, architecture, and literature to conquered peoples. The alternative view now suggests that many of Rome's enemies - the Celts, Hebrews, and Phoenicians, for example - were developing civilizations in their own right before obliteration at the Roman sword. Indeed, as Philip Matyszak argues, had Rome not crushed rivals so completely, the drop into the Dark Ages might not have occurred; at Rome's collapse, no other powerful civilizations remained to absorb the impact. This engrossing book looks at the growth and eventual demise of Rome from the viewpoint of those vanquished by Rome. They varied from the highly cultivated Greeks and Egyptians to wild and rebellious Britons and Germans, to the Asiatic empires of the Persians and Parthians. Their leaders were driven by ambition, vindictive hatred, fear, political calculation, or naked greed. Some fought to preserve their heritage, some for personal survival, and others from a warrior's love of battle. Defying the might of Rome was a dangerous business, and few of the men and women described ... Unknown localization key: "more"

When barefoot running guru Christopher McDougall takes in a neglected donkey, his aim is to get Sherman back to reasonable health. But Sherman is ill-tempered, obstinate and uncooperative - and it''s clear his poor treatment has made him deeply fearful of humans. Christopher knows that donkeys need a purpose - they are working, pack animals - and so when he learns of the sport of Burro Racing or running with donkeys, he sets out to give Sherman something worth living for.With the aid of Christopher''s menagerie on his farm in rural Pennsylvania, his wife Mika and their friends and neighbours including the local Amish population, Sherman begins to build trust in Christopher. To give him a purpose, they start to run together. But what Sherman gains in confidence and meaning is something we all need: a connection with nature, the outdoors, with movement. And as Christopher learns, the side benefits of exercise and animal contact are surprising, helping with mental and physical health in unexpected ways.

Rome Before Rome - Philip Matyszak
Philip Matyszak skilfully navigates the myths and legends of early Rome, exploring the enigmatic origins of the Romans and how the first seeds of a great empire were sown. ‘I sing of arms and the man’ wrote Virgil at the start of the Aeneid, one of Rome’s most iconic origin stories exploring the tumultuous journey of Aeneas from Trojan prince to a hero of Rome. But did Aeneas actually flee from Troy? How did this story affect the Roman’s perspective of themselves? And did they believe it? In Rome Before Rome, Philip Matyszak explores the myths and legends, heroes and villains that shaped the Roman sense of self. There are few books which explain how these different legends fit into Rome’s overall narrative and none which explore the range of myths Matyszak describes. Some of the legends are well known, from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of the Sabines, whilst others are more obscure such as the story of the praetor Cipus, who grew horns and became a King of Rome. Whether renowned or unfamiliar, all are significant in their own way and have had a profound impact on the Romans. Even today these myths continue to reverberate throughout ...

Whether you are a cat lover, armchair traveler, or photography buff, Traer Scott’s Cats of Rome will entice you into this ancient city that is home to more than 300,000 cats.

Rome - Ferdinand Addis
The sweeping story of the city of Rome, told through twenty-two moments that shaped its history. ***A Times History Book of the Year*** ''Vivid, pacey... Superb'' The Times. ''Grand narrative underpinned by serious reading'' Guardian. ''Confident, elegant... Admirably ambitious'' Daily Mail. From Romulus and Remus to the films of Fellini, Rome has always exerted a hold on the world''s imagination. Now Ferdinand Addis brings the city of Rome to life by concentrating on vivid episodes from its long and unimaginably rich history. Each beautifully composed chapter is an evocative, self-contained narrative, whether it is the murder of Caesar; the near-destruction of the city by the Gauls in 387 BC; the construction of the Colosseum and the fate of the gladiators; Bernini''s creation of the Baroque masterpiece that is St Peter''s Basilica; the brutal crushing of republican dreams in 1849; the sinister degeneration of Mussolini''s first state, or the magical, corrupt Rome of Fellini''s La Dolce Vita. This is an epic, kaleidoscopic history of a city indelibly associated with republicanism and dictatorship, Christian orthodoxy and its rivals, high art and low life in all its forms.

Seventeen-year-old aspiring artist Romeo dreams of a quiet life with someone who loves him just as he is. But as the heir to the Montague family, he is expected to give up his "womanly" artistic pursuits and uphold the family honor—particularly in their centuries-old blood feud with a rival family, the Capulets. Worse still, he is also expected to marry a well-bred girl approved by his parents and produce heirs. But the more Romeo is forced to mingle with eligible maidens, the harder it is to keep his deepest secret: He only feels attracted to other boys.In an attempt to forget his troubles for just one night, Romeo joins his cousin in sneaking into a Capulet party. During a fateful encounter in the garden, he meets the kindest, most beautiful boy he''s ever met, and is shocked to learn he''s Valentine, the younger brother of one ...

Mark Rothko - Christopher Rothko
“The journey to understand the painting is also the journey to understand Rothko, because the work is so thoroughly suffused with the man.â€â€”Christopher Rothko Mark Rothko (1903–1970), world-renowned icon of Abstract Expressionism, is rediscovered in this wholly original examination of his art and life written by his son. Synthesizing rigorous critique with personal anecdotes, Christopher, the younger of the artist’s two children, offers a unique perspective on this modern master.  Christopher Rothko draws on an intimate knowledge of the artworks to present eighteen essays that look closely at the paintings and explore the ways in which they foster a profound connection between viewer and artist through form, color, and scale. The prominent commissions for the Rothko Chapel in Houston and the Seagram Building murals in New York receive extended treatment, as do many of the lesser-known and underappreciated aspects of Rothko’s oeuvre, including reassessments of his late dark canvases and his formidable body of works on paper. The author also discusses the artist’s writings of the 1930s and 1940s, the significance of music to the artist, and our enduring struggles with visual abstraction in the contemporary era. Finally, Christopher Rothko writes movingly about his role as the artist’s son, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Annals of Imperial Rome - Tacitus
His last work, regarded by many as the greatest work of contemporary scholarship, Tacitus'' The Annals of Imperial Rome recount with depth and insight the history of the Roman Empire during the first century A.D. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with an introduction by Michael Grant.Tacitus'' Annals of Imperial Rome recount the major historical events from the years shortly before the death of Augustus up to the death of Nero in AD 68. With clarity and vivid intensity he describes the reign of terror under the corrupt Tiberius, the great fire of Rome during the time of Nero, and the wars, poisonings, scandals, conspiracies and murders that were part of imperial life. Despite his claim that the Annals were written objectively, Tacitus'' account is sharply critical of the emperors'' excesses and fearful for the future of Imperial Rome, while also filled with a longing for its past glories.Michael Grant''s translation vividly captures the emotional patriotism of Tacitus'' moral tone, offset by a lucid understanding that Rome is doomed, and conveys with cinematic vigour the lives of the great Emperors who laid the foundations of modern Europe.Tacitus (56-117) studied rhetoric in Rome and rose to eminence as a pleader at ...
