ISBN: 9788311165557 / Polski / broszurowa / 2022 / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. To kontynuacja sławnej powieści historycznej Roberta Gravesa Ja, Klaudiusz. 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...

Król Jezus
ISBN: 9788362409143 / Polski / Miękka / 2012 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Jedna z najbardziej skandalizujących powieści historycznych w dziejach literatury, przy której bledną współczesne powieści awanturnicze spod znaku Kodu Leonarda da Vinci. Opublikowana po raz pierwszy w 1946 roku, przez wiele lat była zakazana w niektórych krajach, m.in. w Portugalii i Irlandii, gdzie anatemę zdjęto z niej dopiero na początku lat 60 ubiegłego wieku (w tym czasie, do 1962 roku, w samej Wielkiej Brytanii książka miała 6 wydań). Kontrowersyjność tej powieści, zwanej czasem Szatańskimi wersetami chrześcijaństwa, wynika głównie z niekonwencjonalnego...

The Siege and Fall of Troy
ISBN: 9781609807429 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The ancient city of Troy really existed. The Trojan War that figures in Homer's two great epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, really happened. But there is much more to it. Leave it to one of the English language's greatest practitioners, Robert Graves, to flesh out the story in a very short book for children, first published in 1962, and out of print for more than three decades. According to Graves, "English literature, to be properly understood, calls for as close a knowledge of the Trojan War as of the Bible: Helen's beauty, Odysseus's cunning, Hector's noble courage,...

Homer's Daughter
ISBN: 9780141197661 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Homer's Daughter Robert Graves recreates the Odyssey. This bold retelling of the ancient epic imagines that its author was not the blind and bearded Homer of legend, but a young woman in Western Sicily who calls herself Nausicaa. In Robert Graves's words, Homer's Daughter is 'the story of a high-spirited and religious-minded Sicilian girl who saves her father's throne from usurpation, herself from a distasteful marriage, and her two younger brothers from butchery by boldly making things happen, instead of sitting still and hoping for the best.'

Tylko on przetrwał wszystkie spiski i zbrodnie, które kolejno zabierały członków jego rodziny.
