This volume presents the surviving correspondence of the French ambassador to the court of Elizabeth I from 1562-66, Paul de Foix. Paul de Foix was an intriguing figure: a liberal Catholic reformer suspected of heresy, a scholar and patron of scholars and a trusted agent of Catherine de Medici.

Taken from volumes preserved at the Bibliotheque nationale in Paris and the L'Aubespine archive, which was dispersed between the 1830s and the...

Theodora: Actress, Empress, Saint
ISBN: 9780190692759 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Two of the most famous mosaics from the ancient world, in the church of San Vitale in Ravenna, depict the sixth-century emperor Justinian and, on the wall facing him, his wife, Theodora (497-548). This majestic portrait gives no inkling of Theodora's very humble beginnings or her improbable rise to fame and power. Raised in a family of circus performers near Constantinople's Hippodrome, she abandoned a successful acting career in her late teens to follow a lover whom she was legally forbidden to marry. When he left her, she was a single mother who built a new life for herself as a secret...

Constantine the Emperor
ISBN: 9780199755868 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No Roman emperor had a greater impact on the modern world than did Constantine. The reason is not simply that he converted to Christianity, but that he did so in a way that brought his subjects along after him. Indeed, this major new biography argues that Constantine's conversion is but one feature of a unique administrative style that enabled him to take control of an empire beset by internal rebellions and external threats by Persians and Goths. The vast record of Constantine's administration reveals a government careful in its exercise of power but capable of ruthless, even savage,...

Sixty Great Scottish Cricket Games
ISBN: 9781849211918 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Cricket is a very old game in Scotland - far older than football, a sport which sometimes exercises a baleful, obsessive and deleterious effect on the national psyche. Cricket goes back at least as far as the Jacobite rebellions and their sometimes vicious aftermaths. It is often felt that Scottish cricket underplays itself. It has been portrayed as in some ways an English sport, a "softies" sport, and a sport that has a very limited interest among the general population of Scotland. This is emphatically not true, and this book is in part an attempt to prove that this is a misconception....
