Król Artur Prawda ukryta w legendzie
ISBN: 9788367276221 / Polski / broszurowa / 2024 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Król Artur przedstawiany jest często jako postać będąca nierealnym tworem wczesnego średniowiecza, rodem z powieści fantasy; ucieleśnione marzenie tych, którzy tęsknili za czasami potęgi, sprawiedliwych władców i królestw żyjących obok siebie w pokoju. Nawet ci, którzy uważali Artura za postać historyczną, z zasady deprecjonowali związane z nim opowieści.

The Making of Stonehenge
ISBN: 9780415642880 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Every generation has created its own interpretation of Stonehenge, but rarely do these relate to the physical realities of the monument. Rodney Castleden begins with those elements which made possible the building of this vast stone circle: the site, the materials and the society that undertook the enormous task of transporting and raising the great vertical stones, then capping them, all to a carefully contrived plan.
What emerges from this detailed examination is a much fuller sense of Stonehenge, both in relation to all the similar sites close by, and in terms of the uses to which it...

This text examines the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis, whose famed description is found in Plato's Timaeus and the Critias. Plato's legend of Atlantis has become notorious among scholars as the absurdest lie in literature. The book explores the possibility that the account given by Plato is historically true and outlines the research findings on Knossos and Bronze Age Thera, demonstrating the parallels between Plato's narrative and the Minoan Civilization in the Aegean.

King Arthur: The Truth Behind the Legend
ISBN: 9780415316552 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) King Arthur is often written off as a medieval fantasy, the dream of those yearning for an age of strong, just rulers and a contented kingdom. Those who accept his existence at all generally discard the stories that surround him. This exciting new investigation argues not only that Arthur did exist, as a Dark Age chieftain, but that many of the romantic tales - of Merlin, Camelot and Excalibur - are rooted in truth.
In his quest for the real King Arthur, Rodney Castleden uses up-to-date archaeological and documentary evidence to recreate the history and society of Dark Age Britain and its...

Minoans: Life in Bronze Age Crete
ISBN: 9780415088336 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Thoroughly researched, Rodney Castleden's Minoans: Life in Bronze Age Crete here sues the results of recent research to produce a comprehensive new vision of the peoples of Minoan Crete. Since Sir Arthur Evans rediscovered the Minoans in the early 1900s, we have defined a series of cultural traits that make the Minoan personality: elegant, graceful and sophisticated, these nature lovers lived in harmony with their neighbours, while their fleets ruled the seas around Crete. This, at least, is the popular view of the Minoans. But how far does the later work of...

The Sussex Coast
ISBN: 9781291285826 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Sussex coast has attracted people for thousands of years - for foraging, fishing, trade and defence, and more recently for retirement and leisure. Settlements are destroyed as the sea advances or stranded as it retreats; living here is exciting - and risky. Now that nearly one million people live on the Sussex coast, the problem of managing the relationship between people and the sea has become acute. A landscape history approach is used in this book, drawing on history, geography, geology, archaeology and the latest findings on coastal processes, to describe the trialogue between people,...
