Opis

HOLD THE POWER AND GLORY OF ANCIENT ROME IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND. A wild she-wolf tenderly nurses infant twins Romulus and Remus. Marcus Junius Brutus looks out over chaos and conflict, flaunting the bloodied daggers with which he murdered Julius Caesar. Trumpets blare, crowds roar, gladiators enter the grand Colosseum. Let the games begin. Frescoes fade and books vanish, but the story of Rome`s epic rise and fall survives in scenes struck in gold, silver and bronze. Told through the lives of twelve remarkable coins, this is ancient Rome as you`ve never seen it before. * A Financial Times Book of the Year * A Sunday Times and Mail on Sunday Summer Read *

5. Nobody Can Give You Freedom wer. angielska, Andrews Kehinde

The Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, Big Brother - 1984 itself: these terms and concepts have moved from the world of fiction into our everyday lives.

19. Animal Farm. Wordsworth Classics wer. angielska, George Orwell
In 1943, there was an urgent need for Animal Farm. The Soviet Union had become Britain`s ally in the war against Nazi Germany, and criticism of Stalin`s brutal regime was either censored or discouraged. In any case, many intellectuals on the left still celebrated the Soviet Union, claiming that the terrors of its show trials, summary executions and secret police were either exaggerated or necessary. But, to Orwell, Stalin was always a “disgusting murderer” and he wanted to remi...
20. Kraków i okolice 372 zdjęcia - wer. angielska, Rafał Jabłoński
Historyczne początki Krakowa łączą się z kształtowaniem się państwa polskiego. W IX wieku na wzgórzu wawelskim powstał gród obronny strzegący okolicznych osad należących do plemienia Wiślan, które pod koniec IX wieku uformowało własne państwo, będące częścią Państwa Wielkomorawskiego, a później Czech. Książę Polan Mieszko I prawdopodobnie w 977 roku podbił tereny zamieszkane przez Wiślan, a rządy objął tu w roku 981. Po jego śmierci na Wawelu osiadł jego syn Bolesław Chrobry. Konsolidacja zie...
