Slaven Jacob – også kendt som Spurv – vokser op på et bordel i Carthago Nova i Spanien i Romerrigets sidste år. Som voksen ser han tilbage på sin umenneskelige barndom: som forældreløs var han overladt til det barske liv på bunden af samfundet, det hårde slid i værtshuset og blandt de prostituerede. Men trods vold, forfald og lidelse finder Spurv både kærlighed, venskab og ømhed. Og hans fantasi og hans sang lindrer den brutale virkelighed. "Spurv" er en betagende roman om slaveri og sammenhold i Romerriget og en livsbekræftende historie om overlevelse. Om forfatteren:James Hynes (f. 1955) har skrevet seks romaner, "Spurv" er hans første på dansk. Han har skrevet essays og anmeldelser for New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Review og Salon. Han bor i Austin, Texas.

'History is made up of myths,' writes the renowned Russian dissident journalist Mikhail Zygar. 'Alas, our myths led us to the fascism of 2022. It is time to expose them.' Drawing from his perilous career investigating the frontiers of the Russian empire, Zygar reveals how 350 years of propaganda, bad historical scholarship, folk tales and fantasy spurred his nation into war with Ukraine.A noted expert on the Kremlin with unparalleled access to hundreds of players in the current conflict - from politicians to oligarchs, gangsters to comedians (not least Zelensky himself) - Zygar chronicles the power struggles from which today's politics grew, and digs out the essential truths from behind layers of seductive legend. By surveying the strange, complex record of Russo-Ukrainian relations, WAR AND PUNISHMENT reveals exactly how the largest nation on Earth lost its senses. A work of history can't undo the past or transform the present, but sometimes it can shape the future.

In the first major work written about Attila in decades, Nick Holmes rewrites the story of Attila and Rome. Contrary to his brutal legend, Attila was a complex and captivating personality. A great warlord who despised ostentation, admired bravery and valued loyalty.He led his steppe nomads further west than Genghis Khan or Tamerlane. He nearly destroyed the Roman Empire. But his vast ambition undid him. This book is a must read for those interested in Rome, the Huns and military history. This is the third volume in Nick Holmes' series on The Fall of the Roman Empire. The first volume, The Roman Revolution, covers the 'crisis of the third century' when classical Rome nearly fell to invading barbarians but was reinvented as a Christian empire. The second volume, The Fall of Rome, covers the period from Constantine to the sack of Rome by the Goths in AD 410. Further volumes will tell the full story of Rome's fall, from its revival under the emperor Justinian to the rise of Islam, the beginnings of Byzantium and the dawn of the Middle Ages.

Author Joe Patrina unpacks primate/alien genetics in this three-volume compendium.Volume I - Research ... fresh views of ancient writings, seeing them as "sincere accounts" of what was witnessed during the 4,000 B.C. to 1,000 B.C. expanse of the new Homo Sapient race.Volume II - e Primate & Alien Series ... re-enactments of humankind's primate/alien co-existence - covering Sumerian, Hebrew, Egyptian, Indian, Chinese, Greek and American episodes.Volume III - Genetics Drives Political Preference ... one's genetic pull is either more Primate or more Alien. This pull alone determines a preference for socialism versus libertarianism, logic superfluous.

The ancient Romans were responsible for many remarkable achievements—Roman numerals, straight roads—but one of their lesser-known contributions was the creation of the tourist industry. The first people in history to enjoy safe and easy travel, Romans embarked on the original Grand Tour, journeying from the lost city of Troy to the Acropolis, from the Colossus at Rhodes to Egypt, for the obligatory Nile cruise to the very edge of the empire. And, as Tony Perrottet discovers, the popularity of this route has only increased with time.Intrigued by the possibility of re-creating the tour, Perrottet, accompanied by his pregnant girlfriend, sets off to discover life as an ancient Roman. The result is this lively blend of fascinating historical anecdotes and hilarious personal encounters, interspersed with irreverent and often eerily prescient quotes from the ancients—a vivid portrait of the Roman Empire in all its complexity and wonder.

Kedeshah was an ancient word used in the in the Hebrew Bible referring to a sacred prostitute, which is Mary Magdalene. Carpenter refers to Jesus Christ.Mary Magdalene doesn't mind her life as a Kedeshah; a high-class sex worker. But she yearns for something more. Through a charismatic yet substance abusive regular client by the name of Jesus of Nazareth, she believes the key to a new life lies in a partnership of theatrics with this lost soul. Using hired help and skills learned from an alchemist doctor, Mary invents a Messiah of mystery, a savoir who can perform miracles, and more importantly; an emissary to tell the disillusioned people of Roman controlled Judea what they want to hear. All for a small price.When jealous religious rivals, ex-lovers, concerned High Priests and bull-headed kings realize the growing influence of this remarkable one they call Jesus Christ, Mary battles the ballooning ego of Jesus of Nazareth and those who seek to have him disposed of. She must keep her masterpiece alive just long enough to take all she's earned and abscond to a quieter, simpler life.The Kedeshah and the Carpenter is the story of Jesus Christ with dark and inventive twists, using actual quotes and events from the Bible that are skewered to show a much different telling than the one most people are familiar with.

Very rarely, the author-compiler of a collection of poems performs a miracle. It seems to the reader that the poems not only follow each other naturally, forming sections, but that the sections form a unified whole. The result is something like a symphony in music. There are separate parts, but none of them sounds as powerful as the whole that they form. The poems not only do not interfere with each other, they help each other, echo each other, complement each other. And this wonder is a book. A book of poems. Marina Eskina has created such a miracle.¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿ - ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿, ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿. ¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ - ¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿. ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿.

Between 1532 and 1536/37, the Dutch artist Maarten van Heemskerck traveled to Rome. Most of the drawings created there were made by van Heemskerck in a sketchbook that he filled with motifs as he wandered through the city, and whose original binding has been lost. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, researchers at the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett have now largely reconstructed the original sequence of the book's pages. This forms the basis of the present facsimile. In his fascinating studies, van Heemskerck captured the ancient sculptures, ruins, and Roman cityscapes. His sketches display a refined eye for composition and perspective as well as an extraordinary sensibility of drawing. In the sketchbook, the artist developed a space for individual experimentation, as well as a valuable trove of motifs from which he would draw throughout his life. MAARTEN VAN HEEMSKERCK (1498-1574) was one of the most famous Dutch painters of the sixteenth century. Today he is best known for his magnificent Roman drawings.

Aus Anlaß des 80. Geburtstags von Johannes Koder (*1942) bringen Freunde, Wegbegleiter, Schüler und Kollegen diese Festschrift dar, deren Beiträge sich inhaltlich auf jene Forschungsinteressen des Jubilars beziehen, die er als Professor für Byzantinistik an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (1978-1985) und ordentlicher Professor der Byzantinistik an der Universität Wien (1985-2010) stets mit großem Eifer, Enthusiasmus und Originalität in Lehre und Forschung vertreten hat.

Vom wachen schöpferischen Geist Johannes Koders zeugt auch seine Beschäftigung mit vermeintlichen "Randthemen" der Byzantinistik und Balkanforschung, wie zum Beispiel dem Kordax - dem "Tanz der Slawen", der für die Festschrift namensgebend ist.

In this provocative new book, Lucy Ash reveals how, under Putin, religion is being stripped of its spiritual content and used as a weapon to control the population in a way never seen before. Orthodox clerics and their acolytes are trying to drag Russia backwards into a new Middle Ages.Combining historical research with vivid present-day reportage, The Baton and the Cross explores the impact the Church is having on millions of Russians' lives - from the tower blocks of Moscow and the big cities to far-flung villages in Siberia. Delving into the underbelly of politics, state security and big money, Ash shows how these forces have formed an unholy alliance with Orthodoxy.

La Grotte des SignesLa quête des signes 5 Enfin réunis après tant d'épreuves, Zia et Kadmeron se préparent à affronter la colère du Dieu Poisson. Devant la menace d'une attaque imminente à la saison de la Renaissance, le Marteron organise la défense du village des Enfants du Soleil. L'issue de la bataille place les vainqueurs dans un cruel dilemme : faut-il - oui ou non - assouvir une juste vengeance et châtier les prisonniers ? Sera-t-il alors possible d'instaurer la paix dans ce peuple déchiré depuis tant d'années ? Zia intervient de façon décisive pour créer les conditions d'une réconciliation entre les deux factions de la ginte des Lepenvis et permettre, peut-être, la coexistence des deux cultes du Silure et du Soleil. Mais le sort réservé au dernier captif plonge nos héros dans le doute sur l'avenir du Peuple du Poisson. Il est désormais temps de partir alors que la Grande Rivière Mère continue de grossir sous les pluies incessantes.En aval, la quête des signes semble s'achever pour Kadmeron lorsqu'il arrive enfin à la caverne de Magura. La rencontre avec un sage des étoiles et les fresques millénaires qu'il découvre sur les parois peintes le bouleversent au plus haut point. En effet, des révélations sur l'équilibre du monde et une prophétie stupéfiante le concernant lui posent plus de questions que ne lui apportent de réponses. Entre-temps, l'inépuisable curiosité de Zia s'exprime dans une idée innovante : aidé par l'ermite et deux mystérieuses étrangères, le couple commence à élaborer une proto-écriture qui répond aux besoins concrets - et étonnants - de la transmission des connaissances.Alors que Kadmeron rêve de rester à Magura pour étudier les signes-mots, une nouvelle alarmante provenant de la Gorge des Ancêtres les contraint à quitter brutalement la Grotte des Signes. Dans des conditions climatiques dures et des circonstances difficiles, Zia est obligée de retourner auprès de ses parents. Que trouvera-t-elle sur place après bientôt deux années d'absence ? Pourra-t-elle affronter son passé et les changements inévitables qu'elle percevra dans son entourage ? Que décidera-t-elle, tourmentée entre les ambitions des uns et ses envies profondes ?

Des pluies diluviennes s'abattent sur le monde, la Mer Méditerranée envahit les côtes. L'Océan Atlantique monte de plusieurs mètres à cause de la fonte massive des glaciers polaires, détruisant des villages et chassant des populations terrifiées. Bien que la partie orientale du continent semble moins touchée, la Mer Noire ne cesse de se remplir et de gagner du terrain sur le littoral.C'est le début d'une période de migrations forcées qui placent l'humanité dans une situation terrible. Paradoxalement peu documentée et controversée, cette époque méconnue de notre préhistoire ouvre cependant les perspectives de la fabuleuse révolution de l'agriculture et des changements profonds du Néolithique. Les contraintes climatiques, sociologiques et culturelles obligeront nos ancêtres à prendre des mesures drastiques et courageuses. Un message du passé pour les profondes mutations qui se déroulent de nos jours.Comment se sont-ils organisés pour faire face au réchauffement climatique ? Avec quelles technologies ont-ils réussi à survivre ? Quelles alliances ont-ils dû forger pour dépasser ces terribles catastrophes ? Ce sont les questions auxquelles les Héritiers de l'Âge de pierre tentent, humblement, de répondre. Cette série de fiction s'appuie sur certaines découvertes archéologiques et sur les suppositions et l'imagination de ses auteurs.
