Abstract

In his heyday, Hamlin Garland had a considerable reputation as a radical writer whose realistic stories and polemical essays agitating for a literature that accurately represented American life riled the nation's press. The sixty-six reminiscences in Garland in His Own Time offer an essential complement to his self-portrait by giving the perspectives of family, friends, fellow writers, and critics. The book offers the contemporary reader new reasons to return to this fascinating writer's work.

Abstract

The first and only other biography of Hamlin Garland was published more than forty years ago; since then, letters, manuscripts, and family memoirs have surfaced to provide, along with changing literary scholarship, a more evaluative and critical interpretation of Garland's life and times. Hamlin Garland: A Life is an exploration of Garland's contributions to American literary culture and places his work within the artistic context of its time.

Abstract

Livy's great history of Rome contains, in Books 21 to 30, the definitive ancient account of Hannibal's invasion of Italy in 218 BC, and the war he fought with the Romans over the following sixteen years. Livy's gripping storytelling vividly conveys the drama of the great battles, and individuals as well as events are brought powerfully to slife. This new translation captures the brilliance of Livy's style, and is accompanied by a fascinating introduction and notes. The comprehensive introduction examines Livy, his work, his historical accuracy, his sources, and the course of Hannibal's campaig

Abstract

3e eeuw voor Christus. 70.000 manschappen en meer dan 40 olifanten trekken vanuit Carthago dwars door Spanje, Gallië en de Alpen naar Italië. Het leger wordt aangevoerd door 1 man: Hannibal Barkas. Gedreven door een levenslange haat tegenover Rome en haar inwoners en met maar 1 doel voor ogen: de macht grijpen over het Middellandse zeegebied. De geschiedenis van Hannibal en Carthago inspireerde tal van historici. Nooit echter werd het verhaal vanuit het standpunt van Hannibal zelf verteld. In deze roman laat veelvuldig bekroond auteur Michael De Cock de Carthager eindelijk zelf aan het woord. Hannibal is een overrompelend relaas van een epische tocht door Europa en door de tijd. Michael De Cock is auteur en directeur van theater ’t ARSENAAL. Hij bewerkte Griekse mythen tot moderne hedendaagse vertellingen voor jong en oud. Zo verscheen: De lange weg naar huis, Vliegen tot de hemel, dat bekroond werd met een Zilveren Griffel en Diep in het woud. De drie kleine klassiekers zijn net als Hannibal voorzien van prachtige beelden van Gerda Dendooven.

Abstract

If history is written by the victors, can we really know Hannibal, whose portrait we see through the eyes of his Roman conquerors? Hannibal lived a life of incredible feats of daring and survival, massive military engagements, and ultimate defeat. A citizen of Carthage and military commander in Punic Spain, he famously marched his war elephants and huge army over the Alps into Rome's own heartland to fight the Second Punic War. Yet the Romans were the ultimate victors. They eventually captured and destroyed Carthage, and thus it was they who wrote the legend of Hannibal: a brilliant and worthy enemy whose defeat represented military glory for Rome. In this groundbreaking biography Eve MacDonald expands the memory of Hannibal beyond his military feats and tactics. She considers him in the wider context of the society and vibrant culture of Carthage which shaped him and his family, employing archaeological findings and documentary sources not only from Rome but also the wider Mediterranean world of the third century B.C. MacDonald also analyzes Hannibal's legend over the millennia, exploring how statuary, Jacobean tragedy, opera, nineteenth-century fiction, and other depictions illuminate the character of one of the most fascinating military personalities in all of history.

Abstract

Can a gumshoe wear high heels? In a genre long dominated by men, women are now taking their place-as authors and as characters-alongside hard-boiled legends like Sam Spade and Mike Hammer. Hardboiled and High Heeled examines the meteoric rise of the female detective in contemporary film, television, and literature. Richly illustrated and written with a fan's love of the genre, Hardboiled and High Heeled is an essential introduction to women in detective fiction, from past to present, from pulp fiction to blockbuster films.
