De Cleopatra's
De vergeten koninginnen van Egypte'Een meeslepende geschiedenis.' The Sunday Times over De PerzenEr was niet één Cleopatra, er waren nog zes andere Egyptische koninginnen met die naam. De Cleopatra's waren Griekssprekende afstammelingen van Ptolemaeus, de generaal die samen met Alexander de Grote Egypte veroverde. Deze koninginnen waren nauw verwant als moeders, dochters, zusters, halfzusters en nichtjes. Ze hadden de absolute macht en regeerden met de listige inzet van geheimzinnige rituelen en weelderige spektakels. Ze omzeilden politieke onrust en intriges aan het hof, en voerden het bevel over legers in de strijd. Met deze fascinerende biografie van de zeven Cleopatra's krijgen deze buitengewone vrouwen een verdiende plaats tussen de belangrijkste figuren in de wereldgeschiedenis.

Babylon
'A book that's rich with meticulous scholarship, illuminated by sharp wit, and full of subtle judgment. Babylon is quite simply enthralling'¿¿¿¿¿ TELEGRAPH'Intimate and immensely detailed. I've never encountered a work of ancient history so finely drawn'THE TIMES'Rollicking story of a city with a biblically bad reputation . . . highly readable'LONDON STANDARD'One of our greatest scholars of the ancient world . . . a remarkable feat of urban resurrection'WILLIAM DALRYMPLE'Compelling and authoritative . . . an exhilarating portrait of one of the world's greatest cities'SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE'A masterpiece'TRISTAN HUGHES______________Babylon often appears more myth than history. Purportedly the site of the Hanging Gardens and the Tower of Babel, its infamous presence in the Bible has made it a byword for sinful decadence. But Babylon was a real place teeming with life, a bustling mega-city on the Euphrates where schoolteachers, artisans, priests, slaves, prostitutes and soldiers rubbed shoulders in maze-like streets and busy marketplaces.The city was home to some extraordinary rulers, from Hammurabi the great lawgiver to Nebuchadnezzar II, the conqueror-king, under whose reign the city glistened in gold and lapis lazuli.In Babylon, Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones brings the city vividly to life, tracing its foundation through to its world domination, and subsequent decline, fall and ruin into dust. From ribald drinking songs to acerbic letters between rival kings, the extraordinary ancient sources help inform what is both a stunning work of scholarship and a fascinating evocation of a long-lost world.More praise for BABYLON:'Engrossing and informative'DR. ERIC H. CLINE'Sweeps you up and carries you off like the River Tigris itself!'IRVING FINKEL'Babylon is brought brilliantly to life . . . highly engaging'BUZZ MAGAZINE

Persler
Antik dünyanin en büyük imparatorlugu Ahamenis Persler. Libyadan Asya bozkirlarina, Etiyopyadan Pakistana uzanan bu genis cografyada, Kyros, Darius ve Kserkses gibi hükümdarlar, cok kültürlü bir halki yöneterek tarihin ilk süper gücünü insa ettiler. Ihtisamin merkezi Persepoliste, benzersiz bir görkemle hüküm sürdüler, yasalar koydular, ordular kurdular ve farkli kültürleri bir arada tutan bir yönetim modeli gelistirdiler.Ancak bu imparatorluk sadece ihtisamiyla degil, ayni zamanda calkantili saray entrikalariyla da tarihe gecti. Kardeslerin iktidar savaslari, kralicelerin ve cariyelerin taht mücadeleleri, hadimlarin ve saray mensuplarinin nüfuz catismalariyla dolu bir hikaye.Yüzyillar boyunca, Persler hakkindaki bilgilerimiz, Herodotos gibi Yunan yazarlarin anlatilariyla sekillendi. Ancak bu anlatilar, antik siyasi ve kültürel önyargilarla gölgelenmisti. Simdi, Lloyd Llewellyn-Jonesun titiz calismalari sayesinde, Iran yazitlarindan, arkeolojik kesiflerden ve Ahamenis sanatindan alinan özgün bilgilerle Pers Perspektifi gün yüzüne cikiyor.

I persiani. L'età dei Grandi Re
Il più vasto e influente impero dell'antichità riportato in vita utilizzando le fonti persiane antiche, ben diverse da quelle ostili greche. La storia sorprendente della potente e sofisticata dinastia achemenide in un libro che ridefinisce la nostra comprensione del mondo antico. I Grandi Re di Persia governarono il più grande impero dell'antichità, che si estendeva dalla Libia alle steppe dell'Asia e dall'Etiopia al Pakistan. Nel cuore dell'impero sorgeva la leggendaria città-palazzo di Persepoli, dove i monarchi achemenidi regnavano nello sfarzo. Da quel luogo, Ciro il Grande, Dario, Serse e i loro eredi approvavano leggi, formavano eserciti e governavano il loro impero profondamente multiculturale. Tuttavia gli Achemenidi furono una delle maggiori famiglie disfunzionali della storia. I fratelli combattevano i fratelli per il potere, mogli e concubine complottavano per portare i rispettivi figli al trono, mentre eunuchi e cortigiani gareggiavano per ottenere influenza e prestigio. Tradizionalmente figlia delle storie di scrittori greci come Erodoto, la nostra comprensione dell'impero persiano ha subìto nel corso dei secoli distorsioni e deformazioni importanti. Llewellyn-Jones attinge alle fonti achemenidi originali, comprese le iscrizioni, l'arte e le recenti scoperte archeologiche in Iran, per dar vita a un'autentica «Versione Persiana» di questo straordinario primo impero dell'antichità.
