« J’ai décidé, avec ce livre-testament, de ne jamais brider ma plume. J’écris sans scrupule. Je livre, sans aucune précaution pour les âmes sensibles, le fond de ma pensée, avec l’obsession de relever le pays, de le redresser, de le sortir du cloaque. Je suis hanté par la disparition du peuple auquel j’appartiens. Je vois le gouffre s’ouvrir.

The Roman Empire and the Silk Routes investigates the trade routes between Rome and the powerful empires of inner Asia, including the Parthian regime which ruled ancient Persia (Iran). It explores Roman dealings with the Kushan Empire which seized power in Bactria (Afghanistan) and laid claim to the Indus Kingdoms. Further chapters examine the development of Palmyra as a leading caravan city on the edge of Roman Syria and consider trade ventures through the Tarim territories that led Roman merchants to Han China.

These are essays on medieval history, and the crusades especially, written from what can broadly be considered a Marxist approach.

Essays on London provide an acute and perceptive insight into early twentieth century city life. Including profound meditations on the rhythm of life on Oxford Street and the consumerism that drives it, vivid descriptions of the epic cathedrals that pave the streets and the place of religion in contemporary society, and an intimate sketch of a charming woman who is a Londoner to her core, these eloquent snapshots of the city are told with Woolf’s trademark intimacy and self-awareness.

»William Tyndale« erzählt die packende wahre Geschichte eines Mannes, dessen Feder die englischsprachige Welt neu prägte.

On February 12, 1994, just as the Winter Olympics opened in Lillehammer, Norway’s most famous artwork—Edvard Munch’s The Scream—was stolen in under 60 seconds from the National Gallery in Oslo. The culprits? A group of masked men with alleged ties to a modern-day Templar revivalist movement, combining ideology, symbolism, and street-level criminal precision.

Geoffrey of Monmouth's infamous 'History of the Kings of Britain' is one of the most daringly daft gems in the annals of British history. Although largely made up by a Welsh-Breton-Norman cleric as propaganda for the Norman nobility, it put flesh on the bones of King Arthur and exasperated generations of historians – so is well worth a fresh read in the 21st century, if just to remind us that there's nothing new about fake news…

In 476 CE, the Western Roman Empire collapsed into ruins. Yet in the East, the empire didn't just survive—it thrived for another thousand years.

Era necesario analizar las razones y los métodos empleados (entre otros, la doble vara de medir) para construir la leyenda negra más agresiva y duradera de la historia. Hacía falta estudiar cómo y por qué la propaganda antiespañola «externa» se instaló en el imaginario colectivo patrio e influyó en nuestra decadencia a partir del siglo XVI, hasta llegar a asumir que éramos inquisitoriales, grotescos, ignorantes y fanáticos. Era necesario examinar cómo este mito «intramuros» derivó en un «harakiri histórico-cultural», único en el mundo, gracias a una ingenuidad contumaz.

In The Republic, Plato tackles the big issues of the state and the individual: how the state should be ruled, and by whom; and the way the individual should lead his life - and why. The lively quality of the dialogue can be clearly appreciated in this new translation by Tom Griffith.

This anthology is a miscellany of maxims and anecdotes that generations of Western readers have consulted for edification as well as entertainment ever since Lives of the Eminent Philosophers, first compiled in the AD third century, came to prominence in Renaissance Italy. To this day, it remains a crucial source for much of what we know about the origins and practice of philosophy in ancient Greece.
