Marie Powell is sixteen when her father marries her to the poet John Milton in payment of a debt. They move to a pretty garden-house in London, but she struggles to adjust to her new life. Her husband is high-minded and unyielding, and only makes Marie long for the man she really loves.

Biała Bogini
ISBN: 9788362858279 / Polski / Miękka / 2011 / 598 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Robert Graves (1895-1985) był poetą z przekonania, powieściopisarzem dla zarobku i badaczem tradycji z namiętności. "Biała Bogini" (1948, wydanie rozszerzone: 1961) powstała między dwoma najbardziej znanymi u nas dziełami tego angielskiego twórcy: powieścią "Ja, Klaudiusz" (1934) i "Mitami greckimi"(1955). Graves wysuwa kontrowersyjne hipotezy, które nadają jego dziełu wprost sensacyjny charakter. Czytelnik wraz z autorem tropi ślady domniemanej tytułowej bogini w obrzędach i mitach starożytnej Irlandii i Brytanii. Te kruchy tradycji zawierają, zdaniem Gravesa, przekaz o...

King Jesus
ISBN: 9780141197654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Robert Graves's controversial historical novel is a bold reworking of the story of Christ. Here Jesus is not the son of God, but the result of a secret marriage - the descendant of Herod and true King of the Jews. Written from the perspective of a lowly official at the end of the first century AD, King Jesus recounts Jesus's birth, youth, life as a charismatic 'wonder worker' and the unorthodox, bitter nature of his death and resurrection. Portraying Jesus not as divine but as a flawed human bent upon his own doom, this retelling of the gospels is a compelling blend of research, imagination...

In 1929 Robert Graves went to live abroad permanently, vowing 'never to make England my home again'. This is his superb account of his life up until that 'bitter leave-taking': from his childhood and desperately unhappy school days at Charterhouse, to his time serving as a young officer in the First World War that was to haunt him...

By the time of his writing, a way of life had ended, and England and the modern...

Sergeant Lamb of the Ninth
ISBN: 9780141197685 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Robert Graves first came across the name of Roger Lamb in 1914, when Graves was an English officer instructing his platoon in regimental history. Lamb was a British soldier who had served his king during the American War of Independence, and whose claim to a footnote in history is that he managed to escape twice from American prison camps. When Graves went to America in the 1930s, he remembered Sergeant Lamb, investigated his story and created this fictionalized memoir telling Lamb's story from his Irish childhood to war and revolution, weaving a mesmerizing tale of courage and adventure.

Tytułowy bohater miał już 51 lat, gdy po zamordowaniu Kaliguli w 41 roku n.e. niespodziewanie został wyniesiony do godności cesarza Rzymu. Ułomności fizyczne - to, że się jąkał, utykał na nogę, ślinił i miał tiki nerwowe - sprawiły, iż przetrwał liczne spiski i morderstwa, które przerzedziły ród cesarski. Jego żoną była Messalina, kobieta obdarzona nienasyconym temperamentem seksualnym i skłonnością do intryg. Klaudiusz długo tolerował jej wybryki, ale nadszedł czas, gdy musiał...
