Описание: AD 400. Rome and its Empire are failing . . . Veteran cavalry commander Marcus Flavius Victor sets out with his regiment to make what may be his final tour of the forts along Hadrian's Wall. Through a combination of military prowess, brutality and bribery, Marcus has spent twenty years keeping the savage Picts at bay. Feared by his enemies and hated by his superiors, his strength of will is the only thing that has held the disgruntled, poorly paid garrisons of the Wall in place as the failing Roman Empire's grip on Britannia weakened. Yet as this tour of the wall progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that this is much more than a routine inspection. Why is Marcus stripping the defences of cavalry to strengthen his own force? Is he negotiating with the Picts or conspiring with them? And who is the mysterious 'blood-father' who lurks in the shadows? Segeduno, Cilurno, Brocolitia, Vindolanda: each fort holds a memory, an old friend, hides a rival, or an outright enemy, and it now seems Marcus will betray or cheat any of them to achieve his goal. But what is Marcus Flavius Victor's ultimate objective? Is he building an army to save Britannia. Or is he willing to risk a bloody civil war to seize the province for himself?

Описание: Many different traditional visions and philosophies surround us. Our ears are accustomed to it, and its dialectics became familiar and outdated in our minds, so that their luster becomes subject to the developments of the human mind. Humanity periodically needs a permanent brainstorming process in order to develop its products and try to complete the stages of development and philosophical discourse. Sometimes we also need to extract the visions that some are interested in, because they are definitely shy sounds, but they are blessed with a new shine, like cutting diamonds when they come out of the womb of the earth to embrace our eyes with its beauty and elegance. Shackles from Illusion of the History present the philosophy of history in an unconventional or unfamiliar way, with new ideas for thinking and reflection. Its author was able to open a space for wide-ranging new spaces and horizons to discuss theory in history and its relativity, the psychological dimension and its impact on historical writing, as well as the state of siege imposed by social visions and theories on history.
Автор: Hunter, Douglas Название: Jackson`s wars ISBN: 0228010764 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780228010760 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 54340.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: A captivating account of the formative years of one of Canada's best-known artists, Jackson's Wars follows A.Y. Jackson's education and progress as a painter before he was a well-known artist and his time on the battlefield in Europe, before he cast his lot in with a group of like-minded Toronto artists. Jackson fought many battles: he was a feisty and opinionated combatant when he crossed swords with critics, collectors, museums, galleries, and fellow painters as an emerging artist. Moving from Montreal to Toronto in 1913, he became a key figure in a landscape movement that was determined to depict Canada in a bold new way, only to have a war dash the group's collective ambitions. Alone among his close associates, Jackson enlisted to fight with the 60th Infantry Battalion. Wounded at Sanctuary Wood in 1916, he returned to the field of combat as an official war artist – the first Canadian artist appointed, the only infantryman in the program – and militated for other Canadian appointments to what is now a storied moment of creation for such artists as F.H. Varley and Arthur Lismer. Jackson produced some of Canada's most memorable depictions of the world's first industrial-scale conflict, even as he reckoned with the anguish caused by the mysterious death of his close friend Tom Thomson. A life-changing event for soldiers, families, and nations alike, the First World War has been understood as a moment of stasis in the visual arts in Canada – the dead ground from which the Group of Seven emerged in the early 1920s. Douglas Hunter shows how Jackson's war was a moment of intense transformation and artistic development on the canvas as well as an experience that tempered a young man into a constructive elder statesman for Canadian art. On his return home he was not only instrumental in the formation of the Group of Seven in Toronto, but a key figure for the Beaver Hall Group in Montreal. Jackson's Wars is a story of brotherhoods of painters and soldiers, shot through with inspiration, ambition, trauma, and loss, on the home front as well as on the battlefield. Hunter widens and deepens A.Y. Jackson's world of friends, family, and colleagues to capture the life of a complex man and the crucial events and relationships behind the creation of Canada's best-known art collective.
