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 ...

A "piercing, unsentimental" (New Yorker) history that boldly challenges the idea of a rural American crisis.  It seems everyone has an opinion about rural America. Is it gripped in a tragic decline? Or is it on the cusp of a glorious revival? Is it the key to understanding America today? Steven Conn argues that we’re missing the real question: Is rural America even a thing? No, says Conn, who believes we see only what we want to see in the lands beyond the suburbs—fantasies about moral (or backward) communities, simpler (or repressive) living, and what it means to be authentically (or wrongheadedly) American. If we want to build a better future, Conn argues, we must accept that these visions don’t exist and never did. In The Lies of the Land, Conn shows that rural America—so often characterized as in crisis or in danger of being left behind—has actually been at the center of modern American history, shaped by the same forces as everywhere else in the country: militarization, industrialization, corporatization, and suburbanization. Examining each of these forces in turn, Conn invites us to dispense with the lies and half-truths we’ve believed about rural America and to pursue better solutions ...
