"A Second Summer in Kintyree is the latest literary offering from Angus Martin, described in 1986 by Gaelic writer, Aonghas MacNeacail, as 'Kintyre's one-man research institute'. This book reflects the style and character of its predecessor, eA Summer in Kintyree, yet is rich in differences. The narrative begins in April 2014 and ends in September, but real time is irrelevant, since the author dips frequently into history and prehistory, evoking people and events associated with the places he visits by bicycle and on foot. Artists, poets, musicians, cave-dwellers, convicts, winkle-pickers,...

The Mycenaeans C.1650-1100 BC
ISBN: 9781841768977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Osprey's study of Mycenaean warriors, from 1650 to 1100 BC. The timeless appeal of Homer's epic poem of the ancient Trojan War, The Iliad, has meant an eduring interest in the Mycenaean age. Modern scholarship and new archaeological evidence now allows us to recontruct with reasonable confidence the appearance of this great warrior civilization, which dominated much of the eastern Mediterranean between the 16th and 12th centuries BC. We can also make deductions, from the few surviving pictorial sources, about the tactics of these armies. This absorbing text is illustrated with examples of the...
