IF THESE STONES COULD SPEAK . . . THEY WOULD CALL FOR WAR. In Shiang, the young king rules without dissent. Mazer swordsmen stand watch on every corner, looking for the first sign of rebellion. This city is a place of quiet and slow dignity, like a man eating rice with a razor pressed against his throat. Yet with one sharp movement, order is overturned. The balance of centuries is undone in the sudden spill of blood - and in the darkness, something terrible returns to Shiang. Far to the west, four Shiang masters approach the city walls of Darien. The sword saint and his companions have crossed a continent to bring an old man home for punishment. They will not be denied, even if the whole city stands in their way. TWO ANCIENT CITIES. ONE FINAL WAR.

The epic new novel in Conn Iggulden's bestselling EMPEROR series, featuring a new short story by the author. Julius Caesar has been assassinated. A nation is in mourning. Revenge will be bloody. Rome's great hero Julius Caesar has been brutally murdered by his most trusted allies. While these self-appointed Liberatores seek refuge in the senate, they have underestimated one man: Caesar's adopted son Octavian, a man whose name will echo through history as Augustus Caesar. Uniting with his great rival Mark Antony, Octavian will stop at nothing to seek retribution from the traitors and avenge his father's death. His greatest hatred is reserved for Brutus, Caesar's childhood friend and greatest ally, now leader of the conspirators. As the people take to the streets of Rome, the Liberatores must face their fate. Some flee the city; others will not escape mob justice. Not a single one will die a natural death. And the reckoning will come for Brutus on the sweeping battlefield at Philippi.

Jeden z najlepších súčasných autorov historickej fikcie Conn Iggulden oživuje vo svojom najnovšom románe Brány do Atén slávnu časť gréckych dejín, keď sa zoči-voči perzskej invázii rozhodovalo o bytí či nebytí Grécka – kolísky európskej civilizácie. V roku 490 pred n. l. vládne v obrovskej perzskej ríši mocný kráľ Dareios. Nik sa mu neodváži postaviť na odpor okrem spurných gréckych mestských štátov, ktoré sa otvorene odmietajú skloniť pred jeho autoritou. Napokon Dareios vypláva s veľkým loďstvom proti Aténam. Aténčania však len krátko predtým zvrhli vládu tyranov, nastolili vo svojom meste demokraciu a za žiadnych okolností nie sú ochotní podriadiť sa svojvôli jedného človeka.Keď Dareiovo vojsko vystúpi na breh na maratónskej pláni neďaleko Atén, čakajú ho šíky na všetko odhodlaných aténskych hoplitov. Nasledujúca bitka rozhodne nielen o osude celého Grécka, ale aj o osude strojcov gréckeho víťazstva – charizmatického Temistokla, múdreho a čestného Aristeida a slávneho vodcu Xantippa.O desať rokov neskôr mieri ku gréckym brehom ďalší perzský kráľ Xerxes, aby pomstil otcovu porážku. Napriek obrovskej vojenskej prevahe na mori i na súši narazí na odpor oveľa menšieho počtu gréckych vojakov odhodlaných bojovať na život a na smrť a ubrániť Termopylský priesmyk aj morskú úžinu pri Salamíne, ktoré chránia vstup do Atén.Bude bojový duch a statočnosť tejto hŕstky stačiť na záchranu slobody a demokracie, hodnôt, ktoré si Gréci cenia viac než vlastný život, alebo ju rozdrvia hordy valiacich sa nepriateľov?

Keď nastane čas, aby sa postavil sám za seba, musí sa vrhnúť do klamárskeho brlohu aténskej politiky a vzoprieť sa svojim rivalom, nepriateľom i priateľom. Samotné slová však vodcu nerobia. Za Periklom leží najväčšie mesto starovekého sveta, pred ním, na mori aj súši, neľútostná perzská armáda. Mladý Perikles vie len jedno – pokiaľ chce vyhrať vojnu, musí nastoliť mier. Je čas, aby povstal hrdina a aby sa jeho nepriatelia triasli. A aby Atény, mesto múdrosti a bojovníkov, zažiarili slávou, pretože v čase núdze musia byť aténski bojovníci levmi.

Three men. One battle. No Heroes.They say Black Dow's killed more men than winter, and clawed his way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the Union, ever a jealous neighbour, is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given and the armies are toiling through the northern mud.Thousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill, in an unimportant valley, and they've brought a lot of sharpened metal with them.Bremer dan Gorst, disgraced master swordsman, has sworn to reclaim his stolen honour on the battlefield. Obsessed with redemption and addicted to violence, he's far past caring how much blood gets spilled in the attempt. Even if it's his own.Prince Calder isn't interested in honour, and still less in getting himself killed. All he wants is power, and he'll tell any lie, use any trick, and betray any friend to get it. Just as long as he doesn't have to fight for it himself.Curnden Craw, the last honest man in the North, has gained nothing from a life of warfare but swollen knees and frayed nerves. He hardly even cares who wins any more, he just wants to do the right thing. But can he even tell what that is with the world burning down around him?Over three bloody days of battle, the fate of the North will be decided. But with both sides riddled by intrigues, follies, feuds and petty jealousies, it is unlikely to be the noblest hearts, or even the strongest arms that prevail.Three men. One battle. No Heroes.

Translated by Yuan Shibing and J.J.L.Duyvendak. With introductions by Robert Wilkinson. The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history.Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured.The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written.They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China.

A splendid reimagining of key stories from the Bible, by the author of The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony. A man named Saul is sent to search for some lost donkeys and on the way is named king of his people. The queen of a remote African realm travels for three years with her multitudinous retinue to meet the king of Jerusalem and pose him a few riddles. A man named Abraham hears a divine voice speaking words that reverberate throughout the Bible: 'Go away from your land, from your kindred and from the house of your father toward the land that I will show you'. In The Book of All Books, Roberto Calasso weaves together stories of promise and separation from one of the founding texts of Western civilisation. These tales of grace and guilt, of the chosen and the damned, cast many Biblical figures and indeed the whole book in a light as astonishing as it is disquieting. The Book of All Books is part of a larger work which began with The Ruin of Kasch (1983) and includes The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, Ka, and The Celestial Hunter.

Peter Katz is hell-bent on getting to the bottom of what happened that night twenty-five years ago and is convinced the full manuscript will reveal who committed the violent crime. But other people's recollections are dangerous weapons to play with, and this might be one memory that is best kept buried.
