King Harald's Saga
ISBN: 9780140441833 / Angielski / Miękka / 1976 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This compelling Icelandic history describes the life of King Harald Hardradi, from his battles across Europe and Russia to his final assault on England in 1066, less than three weeks before the invasion of William the Conqueror. It was a battle that led to his death and marked the end of an era in which Europe had been dominated by the threat of Scandinavian forces. Despite England's triumph, it also played a crucial part in fatally weakening the English army immediately prior to the Norman Conquest, changing the course of history. Taken from the Heimskringla Snorri Sturluson's complete...

The Nature of the Gods
ISBN: 9780140442656 / Angielski / Miękka / 1972 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Towards the end of his life, Cicero turned away from his oratorical and political career and looked instead to matters of philosophy and religion. The dialogue The Nature of the Gods both explores his own views on these subjects, as a monotheist and member of the Academic School, and considers the opinion of other philosophical schools of the Hellenistic age through the figures of Velleius the Epicurean and Balbus the Stoic. Eloquent, clearly argued and surprisingly modern, it focuses upon a series of fundamental religious questions including: is there a God? If so, does he answer prayers, or...

The Erotic Poems
ISBN: 9780140443608 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This collection of Ovid's poems deals with the whole spectrum of sexual desire, ranging from deeply emotional declarations of eternal devotion to flippant arguments for promiscuity. In the Amores, Ovid addresses himself in a series of elegies to Corinna, his beautiful, elusive mistress. The intimate and vulnerable nature of the poet revealed in these early poems vanishes in the notorious Art of Love, in which he provides a knowing and witty guide to sexual conquest - a work whose alleged obscenity led to Ovid's banishment from Rome in AD 8. This volume also includes the "Cures for Love," with...

In this acclaimed new biography, Claire Tomalin, one of today's...
