Last King in India: Wajid Ali Shah
ISBN: 9781849044080 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Last King in India is the story of an extraordinary man whose memory still divides opinion sharply today. Was he, as the British described him, a debauched ruler who spent his time with "fiddlers, eunuchs and women' instead of running the kingdom? Or, as most Indians believe, a gifted poet whose works are still quoted today, and who was robbed of his throne by the East India Company?
Somewhere in between the two extremes lies a complex character: a man who married over 350 women, directed theatrical events lasting a month, and built a fairytale palace in Lucknow. Wajid Ali Shah was... The Last King in India is the story of an extraordinary man whose memory still divides opinion sharply today. Was he, as the British described him, a ...

King and Court in Ancient Persia 559 to 331 BCE
ISBN: 9780748641260 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The first Persian Empire (559-331 BCE) was the biggest land empire the world had seen, and seated at the heart of its vast dominions, in the south of modern-day Iran, was the person of the Great King. Immortalized in Greek literature as despotic tyrants, a new vision of Persian monarchy is emerging from Iranian, and other, sources (literary, visual, and archaeological), which show the Kings in a very different light. Inscriptions of Cyrus, Darius, Xerxes, and their heirs present an image of Persian rulers as liberators, peace-makers, valiant warriors, righteous god-fearing judges, and...

Aphrodite's Tortoise: The Veiled Woman of Ancient Greece
ISBN: 9780954384531 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Greek women routinely wore the veil. That is the unexpected finding of this meticulous study, one with interesting implications for the origins of Western civilisation. The Greeks, popularly (and rightly) credited with the invention of civic openness, are revealed as also part of a more Eastern tradition of seclusion. Llewellyn-Jones' work proceeds from literary and, notably, from iconographic evidence. In sculpture and vase painting it demonstrates the presence of the veil, often covering the head, but also more unobtrusively folded back onto the shoulders. This discreet fashion not only...

His position gave him special insight into the workings of Persian court life and access to the gossip and scandal surrounding Persian history and court politics, past and present. His History of Persia was completed at a time when the Greeks were fascinated by Persia and seems very much to cater to contemporary interest in Persian...

An essential new account of how anti-submarine warfare is conducted, with a focus on both historic and present-day operations. This new book shows how until 1944 U-boats operated as submersible torpedo craft which relied heavily on the surface for movement and charging their batteries.

Countermeasures along also pushed the development of high-speed U-boats capable of continuously submerged operations. This study...
