    Kochen mit den Römern
    Geschichten und Geschichte rund um antike Tafelfreuden, Farbbilder, Rezepte und komplette Menüvorschläge machen aus diesem Band eine zeitlose Verheißung für alle Sinne. Es entführt den Leser auf eine kulinarische Weltreise durch das Imperium Romanum!Römer waren sie bald alle, die in der Kaiserzeit ihre Freunde zum Gastmahl baten, doch was man in der Provinz Asia servierte, war etwas völlig anderes als in Achaea. Während ein Hausherr in Rom vielleicht einen Gang mit Taubenbrust auftragen ließ, servierte ein reicher Bewohner Siziliens Meerbarben; wenn man allerorten besonders die in Hispania hergestellte Fischsauce garum schätzte, so leckte man sich nicht weniger die Finger nach dem Numidischen Huhn, wie man es in der Provinz Africa zuzubereiten verstand. Welche Pflanzen in den entlegensten Winkeln des römischen Reiches angebaut wurden, welche Tiere man hielt und welche man jagte und wie aus all den Herrlichkeiten die köstlichsten Speisen wurden - und auch heute noch werdenkönnen - wird in diesem Buch anschaulich und unterhaltsam geschildert.

    In the Shadow of the Furies: A Novel of the Second Punic War , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 697min
    In the grandeur and brutality of ancient Rome, a man is only as great as his daring. Scipio lives the charmed life of a Roman playboy, but his indolence masks the pain of a past he refuses to face, and the bitter rejection of his estranged father, the consul Cornelius. Women and wine quench Scipio’s thirst for life, until the day he hungers for something more. Driven by staunch principles and fiery debate, Aemelia is unlike any woman Scipio’s desired and he longs to make her his wife. But Aemelia and her father know that he is a lover, not a husband. Beyond the grand halls and opulent gardens of Rome, war with Carthage is brewing. When Scipio is invited to join his father on the battlefields of Hispania, it is his chance to find glory and finally silence the shame and guilt that haunts him. Waiting for them is the brilliant and deadly general Hannibal, and the hard realities of war. At home, Aemelia watches as the city she loves threatens to slip backwards into prejudice, misogyny, and corruption. In an age of glorious victory, molten desires, and brutal consequences, Scipio and Aemelia walk the fine edge of disaster, while caught in the grip of a conflict that will shape the world forever. ungekürzt.

    Short Story Press Presents Summer of Saracens , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min
    Short Story Press presents "Summer of Saracens", by James England.In the summer of AD 777, Charlemagne rode out to conquer the Saracens and reclaim Hispania for the Holy Roman Empire. While immortalized in the words of medieval poets, scholars, and historians, the story never told is the one of what happens when all the men leave and the village is left to run itself. This is a story of Lady Matilda, the wife of Lord Harold, one of Charlemagne’s many lieutenants. After Lord Harold departed, nearly two years ago, Matilda, her maiden, Marta, and her steward, Otto, had been left to maintain the affairs of their small hamlet of Doblesmark.With resources stretched thin from the long war, rumors of plague and highwaymen besetting them, Matilda must boldly find a way to meet the needs of her people, the pressing urgency of the papacy, and, most of all, her own sanity. Accompanied by her maiden, Marta, she must deftly navigate the intricacies of managing the affairs of the folk of Doblesmark while ensuring their own survival. When will Lord Harold return? Will bandits beset the village in its sleep? And what of this strange pagan festival that will begin the rites of summer? And what will ever befall them in this ever-perilous summer of Saracens? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Joseph Prince.

    Sword of Rome , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 843min
    ‘The story I now commence is rich in vicissitudes, grim with warfare, torn by civil strife, a tale of horror even during times of peace.’ Tacitus, The Histories AD 68. The Emperor Nero’s erratic and bloody reign is in its death throes when Gaius Valerius Verrens is dispatched to Rome on a mission that will bring it to a close. With Nero dead, the city holds its breath and awaits the arrival his successor, Servius Sulpicius Galba, governor of Hispania. The Empire prays for peace, but it prays in vain. Galba promises stability and prosperity, but his rule begins with a massacre and ends only months later in chaos and carnage. This will become known as the Year of the Four Emperors, a time of civil war which will tear Rome apart and test Valerius’s skills and loyalties to their very limit. Fortunate to survive Galba’s fall, Valerius is sent on a mission by Rome’s new Emperor, Otho, to his old friend Vitellius, commander of the armies of the north. Vitellius’s legions are on the march, and only Valerius can persuade him to halt them before the inevitable confrontation. In an epic adventure that will take him the length and breadth of a divided land, the one-armed Roman fights to stay alive and stave off a bloodbath as he is stalked by the most implacable enemy he has ever faced. ungekürzt.

    The Briton and the Dane: Concordia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 527min
    Travel back in time to late ninth-century Anglo-Saxon Britain, where Alfred the Great rules with a benevolent hand while the Danish king rules peacefully within the boundaries of the Danelaw. Trade flourishes, and scholars from throughout the civilized world flock to Britannia's shores to study at the King's Court School at Winchester. Enter Concordia, a beautiful noblewoman whose family is favored by the king. Vain, willful, and admired but ambitious and cunning, Concordia is not willing to accept her fate. She is betrothed to the valiant warrior Brantson but sees herself as far too young to lie in the bedchamber of an older suitor. She wants to see the wonders of the world, embracing everything in it - preferably, but dangerously, at the side of Thayer, the exotic Saracen who charms King Alfred's court and ignites her yearning passions. Concordia manipulates her besotted husband into taking her to Rome, but her ship is captured by bloodthirsty pirates, and the seafarers protecting her are ruthlessly slain to a man. As she awaits her fate in the Moorish captain's bed, by sheer chance she discovers that salvation is at hand in the gilded court of a Saracen nobleman. While awaiting rescue, Concordia finds herself at the center of intrigue, plots, blackmail, betrayal, and the vain desires of two egotistical brothers, each willing to die for her favor. Using only feminine cunning, Concordia must defend her honor while plotting her escape as she awaits deliverance somewhere inside steamy, unconquered Muslim Hispania. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Julio César (eBook, ePUB)
    Parte figura histórica, parte leyenda, Cayo Julio César fue uno de los grandes personajes de la Antigüedad y un individuo complejo: político brillante y maquiavélico, general genial, afortunado e implacable, un consumado conductor de hombres de agitada vida sentimental... Una imagen deformada tanto por la propaganda que el propio César vertió a la posteridad en sus Comentarios como por las sucesivas capas de ornato que, desde la Antigüedad hasta el presente, los historiadores han ido añadiendo a la vida del Divino Julio. Cribar entre realidad y leyenda es lo que plantea Patricia Southern, autora de libros como El Ejército romano del Bajo Imperio o Augusto, para mostrar que la vida de César fue extraordinaria, sí, pero que distó mucho de ser una trayectoria ineluctable, con un destino inevitable, sino que fueron el implacable carácter del personaje y sus decisiones -además de más de un guiño de la diosa Fortuna- las que condujeron a aquel. Si antes de su consulado en 59 a. C. César era un senador más, en los siguientes quince años una extraordinaria sucesión de maniobras políticas y campañas militares le llevaron a acumular un poder inmenso, más del que ningún romano hubiese reunido nunca, apuntando al gobierno unipersonal que su hijo adoptivo Octavio finalmente instaurase. Desde la juventud de un patricio vanidoso y petulante a su asesinato, acaso el más célebre magnicidio de la historia, Patricia Southern consigue sumergirnos en las agitadas últimas décadas de la República romana, acompañando a César en sus ocho años de interrumpidas campañas en la Galia, en la guerra civil contra Pompeyo y los optimates que le llevó a recorrer el Mediterráneo y combatir desde Egipto hasta Hispania, y también a intimar con Cleopatra, la última faraona. Seguir la vida de Julio César es asomarse a un tiempo y una vida convulsos, entreverados de leyenda, pero que este libro despeja para arrojar luz sobre el hombre que hubo detrás del mito.
