Caesarion
£12.99
Ludwig Unter's life held such promise. His parents were artists &, from an early age, his own musical genius had marked him out for a stellar career in the world's concert halls. In his mother's imagination, Ludwig is already on the way to surpassing her most ambitious dreams for him. But in reality, & for now, he's playing in local cocktail bars & the two of them are living alone in a storm-lashed clifftop cottage in East Anglia. As the forceful winter seas bash away at the coastline, & Ludwig plunks away at the piano, he begins to tell a woman his story: a story of beauty & decay, of a child's faith & parental betrayal, & of the importance, in the end, of self-sacrifice. ...

Caesar`s Footprints: Journeys to Roman Gaul
Caesar`s Footprints:
Journeys To Roman Gaul
£25.00
In the 50s BC, Julius Caesar conducted a brutal war against the tribes of ancient Gaul. On the pretext of curbing an imminent barbarian threat to the Roman Republic, he first defeated & decimated the Helvetii tribe, before subjugating the other Celtic peoples who occupied the territory of what is now France. Caesar laid Gallic civilization to waste, but the cultural revolution the Romans brought in their wake transformed the Celtic culture of that country, as the Gauls exchanged their tribal quarrels for togas & acquired the paraphernalia of civilized urban life. The Romans also left behind a legacy of language, literature, law, government, religion, architecture & industry. From Marseille to Mulhouse, & from Orleans to Autun, Bijan Omrani journeys across Gaul in the footsteps of its Roman conquerors. He tells the story of Caesar`s Gallic Wars & traces the indelible imprint on modern Europe of the Gallo-Roman civilization that emerged in their wake. ...

Cafe Europa: Life
After Communism
£9.99
Europe is still a divided continent. In the place of a fallen Berlin wall, there is a chasm between the East & the West. Are these differences a communist legacy, or do they run even deeper? What divides us today? To say simply that it is the understanding of the past, or a different concept of time, is not enough. But a visitor to this part of the world will soon discover that we, the Eastern Europeans, live in another time zone. We live in the twentieth century, but at the same time we inhabit a past full of myths & fairy tales, of blood & national belonging, & the fact that most people are lying & cheating or that they have the habit of blaming others for every failure...` An intimate tour of life on the streets of Budapest, Tirana, Warsaw & Zagreb, as those cities continue to acclimatise to the post-Communist thaw, Cafe Europa does not provide easy solutions or furnish political pallatives. Rather as a Croatian with a viewpoint of ever-widening relevance, the value of Slavenka Drakulic`s wry & humane observations lie in the emotional force of their honesty & the clarity of their insight... ...
