  • - Livet i en romersk by
    af Mary Beard
    69,95 - 238,95 kr.

    Bogen bringer antikkens verden til live på dynamisk, åndrig og autoritativ vis.Pompejis ruiner, som blev begravet da det vulkanske bjerg Vesuv eksploderede i 79 e.Kr., udgør det bedste vidnesbyrd vi har om dagligdagen i Romerriget. Denne bemærkelsesværdige bog tager udfordringen op med hensyn til at få disse levninger til at give mening, ligesom den gør op med mange myter: selve datoen for udbruddet, som formentlig fandt sted nogle få måneder senere end almindeligt antaget, eller hygiejnen i badene, som må have været et arnested for bakterier, eller det legendariske antal bordeller, som sandsynligvis blot var et enkelt, eller det enorme dødstal, som muligvis var mindre end ti procent af befolkningen.Et usædvanligt og medrivende portræt af en by i oldtiden, dens liv og fortsatte genopdagelse, af en af Storbritanniens førende antikforskere. "Verdens mest kontroversielle forsker i antikken piller vores filmagtige myter om den romerske by fra hinanden med grundig forskning og medrivende energi (…) I lige dele granskende og animeret.”Daily Mail ”Denne vidunderlige bog vandt Wolfson-prisen, og den udgør et forbillede for raffineret, men tilgængelig formidling om fortiden.” The Guardian ”Mary Beards rundvisning fra soveværelserne til bestyrelseslokalerne i en romersk by er uanstændigt underholdende for en så højlærd og skeptisk afmytologiserende bog.”The Independent ”Et fremragende portræt (…) Dette grundige, livlige studie af livet i byen (…) fokuserer berettiget og konsekvent på den levende by.”Sunday Times ”Antikforskeren Mary Beard har haft det forrygende mens hun rodede rundt i den spøgelsesagtige by, og hun har på storartet vis bragt den til live igen.”Sunday Telegraph ”Hun tilfører et menneskeligt element til Pompeji-forskningens enorme felt (…) Denne fængslende, nysgerrige og kærlige fortælling om Pompeji er et forbilledligt et af slagsen. Beard har fanget essensen af det som var, og som, i vor egen tilværelse i dag, stadig er det samme.”The Times ”Meget læselig og særdeles velunderbygget (…) Beards klarsynede og tilgængelige stil gør denne bog til et overbevisende blik ind i historien.”The Observer

  • - The Battle for Europe, 1807 to 1814
    af Dominic Lieven
    56,95 kr.

    'A compulsive page-turner ... a triumph of brilliant storytelling ... an instant classic that is an awesome, remarkable and exuberant achievement' Simon Sebag Montefiore Winner of the Wolfson History Prize and shortlisted for the Duff Cooper PrizeIn the summer of 1812 Napoleon, the master of Europe, marched into Russia with the largest army ever assembled, confident that he would sweep everything before him. Yet less than two years later his empire lay in ruins, and Russia had triumphed. This is the first history to explore in depth Russia's crucial role in the Napoleonic Wars, re-creating the epic battle between two empires as never before. Dominic Lieven writes with great panache and insight to describe from the Russians' viewpoint how they went from retreat, defeat and the burning of Moscow to becoming the new liberators of Europe; the consequences of which could not have been more important.Ultimately this book shows, memorably and brilliantly, Russia embarking on its strange, central role in Europe's existence, as both threat and protector - a role that continues, in all its complexity, into our own lifetimes.

  • - the triumph and tragedy of Israel
    af Ari Shavit
    44,95 kr.

    A groundbreaking and authoritative examination of Israel by one of the most influential columnists writing about the Middle East today.Facing unprecedented internal and external pressures, Israel today is at a moment of existential crisis. My Promised Land tells the story of Israel as it has never been told before, and asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? And can Israel survive?Through revealing stories of significant events and lives of ordinary individuals ¿ the youth group leader who recognised the potential of Masada as a powerful symbol for Zionism; the young farmer who bought an orange grove from his Arab neighbour in the 1920s, and helped to create a booming economy in Palestine; the engineer who was instrumental in developing Israel¿s nuclear program; the religious Zionists who started the settler movement ¿ Israeli journalist Ari Shavit illuminates the issues and threats that Israel is currently facing and uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present.The result is a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today¿s global political landscape.

  • af Simon Shuster
    45,95 kr.

    Acclaimed journalist Simon Shuster gives us the first inside account of the Russian invasion of Ukraine from the perspective of President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team, who granted him unprecedented access. Time correspondent Simon Shuster chronicles the life and wartime leadership of Volodymyr Zelensky from the dressing rooms of his variety show in Ukraine to the muddy trenches of his war with Russia. Based on four years of reporting; extensive travels with President Zelensky to the front; and dozens of interviews with him, his wife, his friends and enemies, his advisers, ministers and military commanders, The Showman tells an intimate and eye-opening story of the President's evolution from a slapstick actor to a symbol of resilience, revealing how he managed to rally the world's democracies behind his cause.The book's early chapters offer the first detailed account of Zelensky's life in a nuclear bunker in the opening weeks of the invasion and the circumstances of his wife's escape to safety with their children. Later, as the Russians retreat from Kyiv, we see Zelensky and his team emerge from the bunker and lead Ukraine in a series of crucial victories. The result is a riveting, up-close picture of the invasion as experienced by its number one target and improbable hero. Clear-eyed about the President's early failures as a peacemaker and his willingness to silence political dissent, the book offers a complex picture of a man struggling to break what he sees as a historical cycle of oppression that began generations before he was born. Even as the war drags on, Zelensky lays out his vision for its future course and, through his actions, demonstrates his strategy for countering the Russians and keeping the West on his side.The Showman, as a work of eyewitness journalism, provides an essential perspective on the war defining our age. As a study in leadership and human resolve, its appeal is timeless and universal.

  • af Hans Schultz Hansen
    47,95 kr.

    De dansksindede sønderjyders førstemand H. P. Hanssen var arkitekten bag Sønderjyllands genforening med Danmark i 1920. Allerede under 1. Verdenskrig satte han de første streger til en ny grænse, og han tegnede den bærende konstruktion for Genforeningen: folkeafstemningen i to zoner. H. P. Hanssen blev også hovedperson i den bitre grænsestrid, og det kostede dyrt. Han blev afskediget som minister og trængt til side under genforeningsfestlighederne. Men hans grænsepolitik sejrede og lagde fundamentet til nutidens fredelige forhold mellem danskere og tyskere. Bogen er andet bind i Hans Schultz Hansens biografi om H.P. Hanssen. Bind 1 er ”De danske sønderjyders førstemand”.
