        The Remains Of The Last Emperor

        by Prof Bayo Williams

        Haunting, intensely lyrical, its canvas teeming with unforgettable weirdos, The Remains of the Last Emperor is a memorable portrait of the last moments of a mad tyrant and the extraordinary events leading to his final extermination. A spellbinding narrative on power dementia, this novel reveals that not even the most crafty ruler can win against an enraged populace and that a determined people can unseat any tyrant. The book is a powerful political fable from the author of the award-winning book The Year of the Locusts.

        Der Misanthrop auf Capri

        Historien/Gedichte

        by Durs Grünbein, Michael Eskin

        Der Misanthrop auf Capri (eine Anspielung auf Kaiser Tiberius) versammelt Durs Grünbeins verstreut und in den eigenen Gedichtbänden publizierten »Historien« – Gedichte hauptsächlich zur römischen Antike. Dichter wie Horaz oder Juvenal, der um das Jahr 100 unserer Zeitrechnung ein Rom beschreibt, das Grünbein »sehr ähnlich vorkommt wie die Situation heute in New York, auch ein wenig wie in Berlin«, sind ihm nicht einfach irgendwelche lateinischen Klassiker, sondern haben ihm »direkt etwas zu sagen«: Ihre Werke werden zu Interpretationsmitteln der eigenen Existenz.

        The Emperor's Favourite

        by Siobhan Keenan

        The Emperor's Favourite, which appears in print for the first time, is one of the four anonymous seventeenth-century plays bound in a single volume in the library of the Newdigate family of Arbury Hall, Nuneaton. Tentatively attributed to John Newdigate III (1600-1642), the play uses the story of the rise and fall of Crispinus, favourite of the Emperor Nero, to mount a critique of the influence of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham (1592-1628) at the courts of James I and Charles I. The volume is illustrated with ten color plates from the manuscript and from John Newdigate's 1628 Parliamentary Diary. ;

        Journey in Trumplandia: The Rise of Populism in America

        by Tiberiu Dianu

        The book is a collection of essays about the transformation of America, which has turned from a united nation to one more divided than ever. Some pundits predict that, if things don’t change, another civil war could occur. Have we reached a point of no return? Hopefully, America is mature enough to learn from its mistakes and avoid further scars along its evolving history. "Trumplandia is a welcome addition toward understanding current events, Washington’s international policy, and the present American society; a society polarized and divided as it has not been since the Civil War.” NICHOLAS DIMA, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor and Research Associate, Nelson Institute, James Madison University, Virginia. "The book is fascinating. It provides background to, and insights into [the] current and past political history as well as offering a personal view... of the country and society. Presented in thematic form in chapters and sections, the insights offered provide a suggestive radiography...” Dr. DENNIS DELETANT, OBE, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington DC. "There has been this backsliding in... what a truly functioning rule-of-law state is, that has proper separation of co-equal powers, which, if you don’t keep working on that, you backslide. And I am even worried about that here, in the United States right now, about backsliding.” OBIE MOORE, Esq., OLM Advisors LLC, Washington DC “Indeed, Trumplandia should be a welcome addition to any scholar, student or layman’s library, especially in its international edition. If anyone loses sleep over its challenging assertions, then it will have been well worth it.” ERNESTO MORALES HIZON, Ph.D. Candidate in American and Comparative Politics at Claremont Graduate University, Member, Integrated Bar of the Philippines ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TIBERIU DIANU has practiced law in Romania (as a corporate lawyer, judge, senior counselor at the Ministry of Justice, university professor and senior legal researcher), and in the United States (as a legal expert for the judiciary). He published several books and a host of articles in law, politics, and post-communist societies. Tiberiu currently lives and works in Washington, DC.

        Gedichte von Albert Ostermaier zu Photographien von Pietro Donzelli

        by Albert Ostermaier, Renate Siebenhaar, Pietro Donzelli, Claudius Seidl

        Die Bilder des italienischen Photographen Pietro Donzelli (1915-1998) erzählen vom Leben der Menschen in Italien vor der Industrialisierung: Neben städtischen Zentren wie Mailand und Neapel ist die Po-Ebene Protagonist seiner metaphysischen Landschaften, in denen die Zeit still zu stehen scheint. Inspiriert von der melancholischen Atmosphäre dieser Bilder, hat Albert Ostermaier zu 24 Photographien von Pietro Donzelli Gedichte geschrieben, die von der Liebe und vom Verlassenwerden erzählen.

        by Frank Schwieger, Romanus Fuhrmann, Friedhelm Ptok, Cathlen Gawlich, Sabine Falkenberg, Frank Bahrenberg, Christiane Reichert, Matthias Haase, Peter Kaempfe, Ralf Kiwit, Ramona Wultschner, Rudi Mika

        Im Hades ist die Hölle los. Die alten Römer sind empört von den langweiligen, halbwahren Geschichten über ihre glorreiche Zeit. Also erzählen Romulus, Caesar und Nero, ihre vielen Freunde und Feinde nun selbst. So erfahren wir, warum zwei Freunde sich in einem Gladiatorenkampf gegenüberstehen, Kleopatra sich freiwillig in einen Teppich wickeln lässt und man Gänse lieber nicht essen sollte.

        Tyrants of Sicily by Hugo Falcandus

        by Graham Loud, Thomas Wiedemann

        This book is our principal source for the history of the Kingdom of Sicily in the troubled years between the death of its founder, King Roger, in February 1154 and the spring of 1169. It covers the reign of Roger's son, King William I, known to later centuries as 'the Bad', and the minority of the latter's son, William II 'the Good'. The book illustrates the revival of classical learning during the twelfth-century renaissance. It presents a vivid and compelling picture of royal tyranny, rebellion and factional dispute at court. Sicily had historically been ruled by tyrants, and that the rule of the new Norman kings could be seen, for a variety of reasons, as a revival of that classical tyranny. A more balanced view of Sicilian history of the period 1153-1169 has been provided as an appendix to the translation in the section of the contemporary world chronicle ascribed to Archbishop Romuald II of Salerno, who died in April 1181. In particular the chronicle of Romuald enables us to see how the papal schism of 1159 and the simultaneous dispute between the German Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and the north Italian cities affected the destiny of the kingdom of Sicily. In contrast to the shadowy figure of Hugo Falcandus, the putative author of the principal narrative of mid-twelfth-century Sicilian history, Romuald II, Archbishop of Salerno 1153-1181, is well-documented.
