Tolstoy knew as he was writing Hadji Murat, his last work of fiction, that it would not be published in his lifetime, & so gave an uncompromising portrayal of the Russians` faults & the nature of the rebels` struggle. In the process, he shows a mastery of style & an understanding of Chechnya that still carries great resonance today. Hadji Murat, one of the most feared & venerated mountain chiefs in the Chechen struggle against the Russians, defects from the Muslim rebels after feuding with his ruling Imam, Shamil. Hoping to protect his family, he joins the Russians, who accept him but never put their trust in him
- & so Murat must find another way to end the struggle.

Hadrian (r. AD 117-138) is known for his restless & ambitious nature, his interest in architecture & his passion for Greece & Greek culture. This book & exhibition move beyond this image to give a new appraisal of this Emperor, exploring the sharp contradictions in his personality & his role as a ruthless military leader, against the backdrop of the events of his 21-year reign, in which he travelled throughout his empire. As ruler, Hadrian consolidated & strengthened the empire rather than continuing the campaigns of his predecessor Trajan. Individual chapters of the book look at Hadrian the man as an individual; Hadrian the military leader & strategist; Hadrian the amateur architect who created magnificent buildings such as his villa at Tivoli (an empire in miniature); Hadrian the lover who deified his male favourite Antinous after his mysterious death in the Nile; & Hadrian the traveller who tirelessly roamed his empire & its boundaries. The book will conclude with the legacy of Hadrian, including a discussion of the genesis of Marguerite Yourcenars famous Memoirs of Hadrian, about to be turned into a major Hollywood film. This important & timely book is richly illustrated throughout with key works of art -both celebrated & less well-known sculptures, bronzes, coins & medals, drawings & watercolours from major international museums & other public & private collections. ...

Located at the far-flung & wild edge of the Roman Empire, Hadrian`s Wall was constructed by Emperor Hadrian in the 120s AD. Vast in size & stretching from the east to the west coast of the northern part of Britannia, it is the largest monument left by the Roman empire
- all the more striking because it lies so far from Rome. Today, it is one of the most visited heritage sites in the country. Yet the story of the Wall is far more than the development of a line of fortifications & the defence of a troublesome imperial frontier. Generation after generation of soldiers served there, with their families as well as traders & other foreign & local civilians in & around the army bases. The glimpses of this vibrant, multinational community in Adrian Goldsworthy`s masterly book bring the bare stones to life. Goldsworthy also considers why & how the wall was built, & discusses the fascinating history, afterlife & archaeology of this unique ancient monument.
