Synopsis Through the Pillars of Herakles by : Duane W. Roller
In this first study of the Greek and Roman exploration for over half a century, Duane W. Roller presents an important examination of the impact of the Greeks and Romans on the world through the Pillars of Herakles and beyond the Mediterranean Roller chronicles a detailed account of the series of explorers who were to discover the entire Atlantic coast; north to Iceland, Scandinavia and the Baltic, and south into the Africa tropics. His account examines these early pioneers and their discoveries, and contributes a brand new chapter to the history of exploration. Based not only on the literary evidence, but also personal knowledge of the areas from the Arctic to west Africa, the book looks at the people, from the earliest Greeks, through the Carthaginians to the Romans, and examines their exploration of this vast and largely unfamiliar territory. Discussing for the first time the relevance of Iceland and the Arctic to Greco-Roman culture, this groundbreaking work is an enthralling and informative read that will be an invaluable study resource for Greek and Roman history courses

Synopsis At the Pillars of Hercules by : Clive James
His second book of criticism, with a new introduction by the authorFirst published to great acclaim in 1979, At the Pillars of Hercules (a title taken from a certain Soho pub) confirmed Clive James's place as a writer of immense talent. This new paperback edition is as entertaining and elegant as ever. His main topics are contemporary poetry, aesthetics and the theory and practice of criticism, the popular novel, and the literature of modern history and politics. His discussions range from the legacy of Auden and Larkin to Gore Vidal and Lord Longford. His inimitable wit and candour are ever present. 'The opportunity offered me by the London literary editors - overqualified, confident, and mischievous to a man, especially the women - was too good to miss. Anything I felt like throwing into the review, they would print. Over the top was exactly the way they wanted me to go. As long as they understood it themselves, no reference could be too obscure or allusion too fleeting. In those days the reader, if he encountered something on the page that he could not immediately understand, was still trusted to renew his subscription . . . All you have to remember is that you're not the whole show. I sometimes still had trouble remembering that, but I like to think, looking back, that solipsism made my admiration for others seem the more selfless - with the concomitant benefit that I could do a better hatchet job without being thought of as having laid claim to a monopoly of objective truth' Clive James, from the new introduction

Synopsis Atlantis by : Arysio Santos
Thousands of books have already been written on Atlantis since its reality was first disclosed by the great philosopher Plato, some two and a half millennia ago. Hence, one may well wonder whether a new book on the subject is really needed. Can anything new actually be said about Atlantis? The answer is a most categorical yes. After all, the riddle of Atlantis has never been satisfactorily solved so far.The present book is an attempt by a reputed scientist, to scientifically compare and refute ? perhaps for the first time ever ? the various existing theories on Atlantis? location and reality. The author also expounds his own theory which definitively locates Atlantis in Indonesia. In his research, Prof. Santos marries the most recent results and techniques of Modern Science to the sacred and folk lore of all the peoples of the world, knitting humanity together in a solution to the riddle of Atlantis that neatly ties together the vast scientific and traditional evidence which was always there but never before seen by other researchers.The reader, whether a scientist with an open mind or a lay person, is led to conclude that Plato could well have been telling the truth, after all, since the information provided by the great philosopher is so uncannily confirmed by the recent scientific finds of all sorts.

Synopsis Ilion by : Malena Lagerhorn
Melas jumped down from the chariot and stabbed at the man's bleeding belly, so that the bowels became visible and the life breath left his body. He started pulling off the man's well-made armor in shiny leather, but a blow on his shield made him stop. Ialmenus's shadow fell over him. "Do you want revenge or is your mind rather filled with thoughts of booty?" Ialmenus hit his spear on Melas's shield again, and Melas stumbled over and fell on his knees beside the wounded man. He looked up at Ialmenus who was like a black shadow, with the copper-glowing sun in the back. "When Ilion has fallen, you can loot your enemies," said Ialmenus. "When you have killed the men who burned down the house of your father, who burned your mother and your sister." He turned away from Melas and disappeared in the glowing dust and mist. Nordic Bronze Age - a mythical era 3,600 years ago. A time when black ships sailed across the Baltic Sea, when the elite built their power on trade and looting. A time when blood and honor, cunning and shrewdness decided who was the most feared ruler of the all the coasts and islands.Melas has been taken care of by relatives since his family was killed in a Trojan attack. He grows up with his cousin Thoas who becomes his ally in his dream of revenge. Together they swear an oath that they one day, as grown warriors, will sack Troy - Ilion - and burn the city to the ground. When Agamemnon, the most powerful chieftain of the Danaans, calls warriors across the Baltic Sea to a joint attack against Ilion, they see their chance. Ilion is an epic tale about the world's most famous Bronze Age battle ever, the battle of Troy, but in a Nordic setting according to a new theory by Italian nuclear engineer Felice Vinci. Malena Lagerhorn depicts a heroic and glorious era 2,500 years before the Vikings. Ilion is her first book translated into English. "The day has come when my theory has come to life in a fiction novel in the country of the proud Achaeans!" Felice Vinci, author of The Baltic Origins of Homer's Epic Tales
