Первые короли династии Плантагенетов унаследовали от своих предков-норманнов залитое кровью царство и превратили его в империю, простиравшуюся от Шотландии до Палестины. В этой эпической хронике мужества, предательства, амбиций и обмана Дэн Джонс воскрешает непокорную королевскую династию, каждый представитель которой был замечательной и запоминающейся фигурой.

Это история могучей династии, господствовавшей в Европе на протяжении почти тысячи лет, а также ее самобытной вселенной, которую она сама и создала, чтобы затем утратить на заре XX столетия. Начав скромными швабскими феодалами, в XV веке Габсбурги добились владычества над Священной Римской империей, а потом, за несколько десятилетий,—над огромной частью земного шара, от Венгрии, Нидерландов и Испании до Перу и Мексики.

In Wilderlands, archaeologist Eloise Kane unearths 12,000 years of our changing relationship with and influence on the landscape. Through prehistory, Roman occupation, the Middle Ages and beyond, we see the unfamiliar beasts of our old wild make way for species such as brown hare and fallow deer, now romanticised as eternal symbols of the British countryside, but introduced much later than we might think. Places free from our influence haven't existed for a very long time. But Eloise Kane invites us to rethink our definition of the wild - not as separate from us.

Das England des 16. Jahrhunderts war eine brutale Welt, geprägt von politischen Intrigen, religiösen Kämpfen und grassierenden Seuchen. Und dennoch wurde das elisabethanische Zeitalter zu einer überragenden Blütezeit der englischen Literatur. Ihr Wegbereiter war Christopher Marlowe: Im gleichen Jahr wie William Shakespeare wurde er als Sohn eines Schusters geboren. Allen Widrigkeiten zum Trotz erkämpfte er sich ein Stipendium in Cambridge, ließ sich in den Spionagedienst der Königin verwickeln und schuf einige der spektakulärsten Meisterwerke der englischen Literatur.
