Die Sagen des klassischen Altertums kennt man durch die Nacherzählungen Gustav Schwabs. Doch die Erzählkunst der Antike reicht weit darüber hinaus, und ihre schönsten Stücke gewähren, wie sie hier erstmals umfassend zu einem Kanon zusammengetragen sind, einen lebendigen Blick auf über 1000 Jahre Alltags- und Geistesleben. Die Erzählungen und Novellen der Antike wurden über viele Jahrhunderte hinweg gelesen und haben auf spätere Erzähler, etwa Boccaccio, nachhaltig gewirkt. Der Gegenwart ist die Kenntnis der griechischen und römischen Novellistik jedoch nahezu verlorengegangen: Eingebettet in die großen Werke und Romane griechischer und römischer Autoren, werden sie nicht als eigenständiger und traditionsbildender, vor allem aber überaus farbiger und amüsanter Strang der europäischen Geistesgeschichte wahrgenommen. Im Goldenen Apfel werden Abenteuer, Liebesaffären und Räuberpistolen erzählt; man findet witzige Geschichten aus dem antiken Alltag und Begebenheiten, die zum Nachdenken anregen. Nicht nur die Novellen, die in Apuleius’ Metamorphosen, besser bekannt unter dem Titel Der goldene Esel, eingestreut sind, oder die Urformen der Geschichten vom großen Glück des Krösus und dem Ring des Polykrates sind hier nachzulesen, sondern man erfährt auch von der unsterblichen Liebe der Pantheia zu Abradatas, dem Liebestod eines Delphins und den Nöten eines Liebhabers im Faß. Zu Wort kommen Homer, Herodot, Äsop, Dion Chrysostomos, Platon, Livius, Plinius und Plutarch, Lukian und Phlegon, Aulus Gellius, Aelian, Philostratos, Heliodor, Aristainetos, die Evangelisten Lukas und Thomas – und viele andere bekannte oder in Vergessenheit geratene Autoren.
The Roman Century: How a Determined People Launched the Greatest Empire in World History should be of interest to anyone who ponders the increasingly intense competition among the United States, China and Russia. The book places the spectacular Roman advance during a single “long” century (323-188 BCE) in a much wider geo-politico-economic context than existing works; explains how the Romans perfected a three-pronged blueprint of imperial conquest which had been devised by Philip II of Macedon; and incorporates timeless observations from the likes of Appian, Arrian, Clausewitz, Diodorus, Livy, Machiavelli, Plutarch, Polybius, Sun Tzu and Thucydides. The Roman Century also explains how the Romans generated a host of lessons to be studied by anyone concerned with the processes through which overseas empires are won and lost.
Set in Boston and London over sixteen years, True Freedom is a panoramic account of how America came to fight Britain for its freedom in the eighteenth century. The Boston scene is set through vignettes about the people who shaped its history. Thomas Hutchinson, Boston aristocracy, whose wealth is seemingly unassailable. Self-taught medical doctor Thomas Young meets his hero Samuel Adams who is determined to have his revolution, supported from London by the radical politician John Wilkes. True Freedom is full of vivid period details; you can almost smell Parliament in London or hear the clerks scribbling away in the American Department. So too, in Boston, you experience the might of the British navy in the harbour, and feel the determination of the Boston people to defy Parliament in London. Together they form facets of the main character: the Boston uprising. In his novel Michael Dean takes us right to the heart of identity and sovereignty by focusing on personal relationships especially the one between brothers Thomas Pownall, Governor of Massachusetts and later a MP, and John Pownall, undersecretary of the American Department in London.
