Stephen Fry a görög mitológia kezdeteit elbeszélő "Mítosz" című könyve után a Héroszok történeteivel folytatja a mesélést. Az isteni származású hősök csodálatos kalandjai és halhatatlan hőstettei Fry könnyed, egyúttal lebilincselő stílusában hol humoros gellert kapnak, hol romantikusan szomorúak. Meghallgathatjuk Héraklész, Medusza és Orpheusz történetét is.

Слава виднейшего политического, государственного и военного деятеля Гая Юлия Цезаря и по сей день является нравственно-политическим ориентиром для многих политиков. Среди многочисленных дарований Цезаря признается его литературный талант и выдающиеся способности военного историка. Подтверждение тому — книги «Записки о Галльской войне» и «Гражданская война». Это не только талантливые мемуары, но и неподражаемый образец истинно романского литературного стиля, образец древнеримской классической литературы.

Hekabe, Penthesilea, Andromache – Bestsellerautorin Natalie Haynes gibt Trojas Frauen eine Stimme. Alles ist so gekommen, wie sie es vorausgesagt hatten nur noch schlimmer! Troja brennt, der Krieg ist verloren. Warum hat Priam nicht auf die skeptischen Worte seiner Frau gehört? Denn während die Männer im Krieg ihr Leben verlieren, verlieren Hekabe, Polyxena und Andromache alles andere. Es gibt Angst, Wut und Schuldgefühle, doch die Frauen zeigen ihren Kummer nicht.

Questo audiolibro è un diario che raccoglie una catena di eventi catastrofici, effetti indesiderati dei più nobili intenti di Giannino Stoppani, detto da tutti Gian Burrasca. Una valanga di sventure che pare non avere soluzione, fino a quando Giovannino viene spedito in collegio, dove finalmente mostrerà di che pasta è fatto. Quello che ci pare un disastro oggi forse prenderà un senso domani... forse.

Faisant suite à la Théogonie, oeuvre dans laquelle est exposée la naissance des Dieux, Hésiode nous offre avec "Les travaux et les jours" un poème didactique visant à souligner les vertus du travail et de la justice. Nous y retrouvons notamment l'histoire de la boîte de Pandore, le mythe des quatre âges de l'humanité ou bien encore la fable du faucon et du rossignol.

La mitología supone uno de los legados culturales más importantes que la Antigüedad Clásica nos ha dejado. Desde Zeus y los dioses Olímpicos hasta la Guerra de Troya, pasando por los trabajos de Heracles, Perseo y Medusa, Teseo y el Minotauro o Jasón y los Argonautas, este libro, divulgativo y muy divertido, nos sumerge de lleno en el origen, las historias y los personajes de los mitos y héroes griegos.

Our conventional image of Sokrates comes from dry scholarly accounts that present a wise, if ironic, old philosopher shuffling and lounging in the streets of Athens, asking questions that never lead to answers, and finally resigning himself in questionable fashion to a scapegoat death on philosophical principle. But who knows the stunning heroic stories of Sokrates from the battlefield, like how he alone stared down the entire Delium army? Or drinking everyone under the table 'til dawn, then beginning his day as usual, confronting as many people as he could to live a better life?

Linked to both the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, Hermes Trismegistus is credited, through legend, with thousands of mystical and philosophical writings of high standing, each reputed to be of immense antiquity.

This extraordinary collection of correspondence by Paul Bowles spans eight decades and provides an evolving portrait of an artist renowned for his privacy. From his earliest extant letter, written at the age of four, to his precocious effusions to Aaron Copeland and to Gertrude Stein; from his meditations on mescaline as relayed to Ned Rorem, to his intensely moving letters to Jane Bowles during her illness, In Touch fills in the lacunae left by previous biographers and offers a rare look at the many aspects of Bowles's brilliant career.

Are you looking for love poems? If so, you will really enjoy The Poems of Sappho: An Interpretative Rendition into English. While very little remains of Sappho's poetry, existing fragments suggest that she had a romantic interest in those of her own sex. Her poems are written as words spoken from one person to another and speak about the joys and difficulties of romantic love. In modern times, she has come to be known as a great lesbian poet, and her work is enjoyed by many both within and outside the LGBTQ community.

Platons Dialoge gehören in philosophischer wie auch in literarischer Hinsicht unzweifelhaft zu den großen kulturellen Hervorbringungen des alten Griechenlands. Ihr Einfluss auf das Denken und auf das, was wir heute allgemein unter Philosophie verstehen, kann kaum überschätzt werden. Zentrale Themen der platonischen Philosophie wie die Frage nach dem Guten und die Frage, wie man auf zwingend richtige Gründe abgestütztes Wissen erlangt, haben mehr als nur Akzente in der abendländischen Geistesgeschichte hinterlassen.
