Marcus Aurelius. Warrior, Philosopher, Emperor (Vintage books)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2965.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Marcus Aurelius is the one great figure of antiquity who still speaks to us today, nearly 2,000 years after his death. A philosopher as well as an emperor, his was an extraordinary reign. He proved himself a great leader, protecting the Empire from Germans in the North and fighting the Parthians in the East, and his Meditations - compared by John Stuart Mill to the Sermon on the Mount - remains one of the most widely-read Classical books. Impeccably researched and vividly told, Frank McLynn's Marcus Aurelius is the definitive biography of a monumental historical figure.

Desperately Seeking Van Gogh (Gingko)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2994.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Desperately Seeking Van Gogh adopts a very refreshing new way of looking at the life of this most brilliant of artists: by following in his footsteps around all the locations which meant the most to him and which most influenced his work.
We capture the mood of bourgeois respectability of his mother's family in The Hague, the fields and dyke banks of the sleepy provincial town of Zundert on the Dutch/Belgian border where he grew up, to the boarding schools which he hated. We go with Vincent to The Hague where he was an apprentice art dealer, to his time in England and his dreams of maybe escaping to South America, Brussels, Antwerp, Paris and then to all the detailed locations in Provence, and many more.
Every spread features great imagery - both photographic and of Vincent's works - and a fascinating commentary. For any enthusiast or art history student of Vincent, this title is a must. For anyone new to his work, it is a very accessible, friendly and insightful way to look at his life.

Разменявший восьмой десяток, необыкновенно одаренный и талантливый, он все ещё создает на экране истории, затрагивающие каждого.

Великий Черчилль. Иллюстрированная биография. Тененбаум Б. (Издательство «Яуза»)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3012.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Эта книга — лучшая иллюстрированная биография сэра Уинстона Черчилля (1874-1965), самого известного британского политика в истории, крупнейшего государственного деятеля XX века и величайшего гроссмейстера игры на «мировой шахматной доске».Вошедший в правительство в тридцать с небольшим лет, первый раз он возглавил Великобританию, когда ему было уже за шестьдесят. Долгие годы коллеги считали его абсолютно непригодным для роли «Первого Лица», ведь при всех своих блестящих способностях Черчилль был слишком импульсивен, слишком склонен идти на риск. Потомок знаменитого аристократического рода, он не имел состояния и зарабатывал на жизнь пером, написав больше, чем Вальтер Скотт и Чарльз Диккенс вместе взятые, и единственный из всех политиков получил Нобелевскую премию по литературе за свои исторические произведения и мемуары (именно ему принадлежит фраза «Написание книги — это приключение!»). Увлекался живописью, под чужим именем даже участвовал в парижских выставках. Любил выпить и хорошие сигары, случалось, игра ...

'I can understand myself only in the light of inner happenings. It is these that make up the singularity of my life, and with these my autobiography deals' Carl Jung
An eye-opening biography of one of the most influential psychiatrists of the modern age, drawing from his lectures, conversations, and own writings.
In the spring of 1957, when he was eighty-one years old, Carl Gustav Jung undertook the telling of his life story. Memories, Dreams, Reflections is that book, composed of conversations with his colleague and friend Aniela Jaffe, as well as chapters written in his own hand, and other materials. Jung continued to work on the final stages of the manuscript until shortly before his death on June 6, 1961, making this a uniquely comprehensive reflection on a remarkable life.

Blood Sisters. The Women Behind the Wars of the Roses (Harper Collins UK)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3028.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The true story of the White Queen and more, this is a thrilling history of the extraordinary noblewomen who lived through the Wars of the Roses.
The events of the Wars of the Roses are usually described in terms of the men involved: Richard Duke of York, Henry VI, Edward IV, Richard III and Henry VII. But these years were also packed with women's drama and - in the tales of conflicted maternity and monstrous births - alive with female energy.
In this completely original book, Sarah Gristwood sheds light on a neglected dimension of English history: the impact of Tudor women on the Wars of the Roses. She examines, among others, Cecily Neville, who was deprived of being queen when her husband died at the Battle of Wakefield; Elizabeth Woodville, the commoner who married Edward IV in secret; Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, whose love and ambition for her son knew no bounds.
Until now, the lives of these women have remained little known to the general public. Sarah Gristwood tells th ...

Napoleon. The Man Behind the Myth (William Collins)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3028.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
A landmark new biography that presents the man behind the many myths. The first writer in English to go back to the original European sources, Adam Zamoyski’s portrait of Napoleon is historical biography at its finest.
Napoleon inspires passionately held and often conflicting visions. Was he a god-like genius, Romantic avatar, megalomaniac monster, compulsive warmonger or just a nasty little dictator?
While he displayed elements of these traits at certain times, Napoleon was none of these things. He was a man and, as Adam Zamoyski presents him in this landmark biography, a rather ordinary one at that. He exhibited some extraordinary qualities during some phases of his life but it is hard to credit genius to a general who presided over the worst (and self-inflicted) disaster in military history and who single-handedly destroyed the great enterprise he and others had toiled so hard to construct. A brilliant tactician, he was no strategist.
But nor was Napoleon an evil monster. He could be selfish and violent

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Can someone in prison be more free than someone outside? Would we ever be good if we never felt shame? What makes a person worthy of forgiveness?

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The gripping true story of one man's ten year expedition from a village in West Africa to the Arctic Circle

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
'All my life my Stradivarius had been waiting for me, as I had been waiting for her . . .'
At 7 years old Min Kym was a prodigy, the youngest ever pupil at the Purcell School of Music. At 11 she won her first international prize. She worked with many violins, waiting for the day she would play 'the one'. At 21 she found it: a rare 1696 Stradivarius, perfectly suited to her build and temperament. Her career soared. She recorded the Brahms concerto and a world tour was planned.
Then, in a train station cafe, her violin was stolen. In an instant her world collapsed. She descended into a terrifying limbo land, unable to play another note.
This is Min's extraordinary story - of a young woman staring into the void, wondering who she was, who she had been. It is a story of isolation and dependence, of love, loss and betrayal, and the intense, almost human bond that a musician has with their instrument. Above all it's a story of hope through a journey back to music.

A Great and Terrible King. Edward I and the Forging of Britain (Penguin)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 3103.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The first popular biography of Edward I in a generation by a major new historian.
This is the first major biography for a generation of a truly formidable king. Edward I is familiar to millions as 'Longshanks', conqueror of Scotland and nemesis of Sir William Wallace ('Braveheart'). Edward was born to rule England, but believed that it was his right to rule all of Britain. His reign was one of the most dramatic of the entire Middle Ages, leading to war and conquest on an unprecedented scale, and leaving a legacy of division that has lasted from his day to our own.
In his astonishingly action-packed life, Edward defeated and killed the famous Simon de Montfort in battle; travelled across Europe to the Holy Land on crusade; conquered Wales, extinguishing forever its native rulers, and constructed - at Conwy, Harlech, Beaumaris and Caernarfon - the most magnificent chain of castles ever created. After the death of his first wife he erected the Eleanor Crosses - the g ...

The Autobiography of Malcolm X (Penguin)

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Malcolm X's The Autobiography of Malcolm X was written in collaboration with Alex Haley, author of Roots, and includes an introduction by Paul Gilroy, author of The Black Atlantic, in Penguin Modern Classics.
From hustling, drug addiction and armed violence in America's black ghettos Malcolm X turned, in a dramatic prison conversion, to the puritanical fervour of the Black Muslims. As their spokesman he became identified in the white press as a terrifying teacher of race hatred; but to his direct audience, the oppressed American blacks, he brought hope and self-respect. This autobiography (written with Alex Haley) reveals his quick-witted integrity, usually obscured by batteries of frenzied headlines, and the fierce idealism which led him to reject both liberal hypocrisies and black racialism.
Vilified by his critics as an anti-white demagogue, Malcolm X gave a voice to unheard African-Americans, bringing them pride, hope and fearlessness, and remains an inspirational and c ...

The classic evocative tale of an idyllic childhood in the English countryside

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
This autobiography is about growing up in Egypt. It is also an investigation into childhood perception in which the author uses herself and her memories as an insight into how children see and know. It is a look at Eygpt up to, and including, World War II from a small girl's point of view, which is also, ultimately, a moving and rather sad picture of an isolated and lonely little girl.
