Se nel VI secolo l'Impero romano d'Oriente era il piú vasto stato nell'Eurasia, appena un secolo dopo esso si era ridotto drasticamente. Circondato da nemici, devastato da conflitti e malattie, sembrava destinato al collasso, ma non fu cosí, e questo saggio ci spiega tutti i motivi per cui ciò non avvenne. Nel 700 d.C. l'Impero aveva perso tre quarti del suo territorio a vantaggio del Califfato islamico. Ma l'accidentata geografia dei territori rimanenti in Anatolia e nell'Egeo fu strategicamente vantaggiosa, poiché impedí ai nemici di occupare permanentemente le città, rendendoli vulnerabili ai contrattacchi romani. Piú l'Impero si riduceva, piú si calamitava intorno a Costantinopoli, la cui capacità di resistere ai diversi assedi si rivelò decisiva. Anche i cambiamenti climatici ebbero un ruolo, poiché imposero di diversificare la produzione agricola, aiutando cosí l'economia imperiale. La crisi costrinse la corte ad avvicinarsi alle classi dirigenti delle province e alla Chiesa. Nonostante le perdite territoriali, l'Impero non patí gravi crisi politiche. Ciò che restava divenne il cuore di uno stato romano cristiano medievale, la cui potente teologia politica predisse che l'imperatore avrebbe infine prevalso contro i nemici, sancendo il dominio mondiale del cristianesimo ortodosso.

Download As PDF : Rivers of Light The Life of Claire Myers Owens Miriam Kalman Friedman Books

Growing up in a conservative, middle-class family in Texas, Claire Myers Owens sought adventure and freedom at an early age. At twenty years old, she left home and quickly found a community of like-minded free spirits
and intellectuals in New York’s Greenwich Village. There Owens wrote novels and short stories, including the controversial novel The Unpredictable Adventure A Comedy of Woman’s Independence, which was banned by
the New York Public Library for its “risqué” content. Drawn to ideals of selfactualization and creative freedom, Owens became a key figure in the Human Potential Movement along with founder Abraham Maslow and Aldous
Huxley, and became an ardent follower of Carl Jung. In her later years, Owens devoted her life to the practice of Zen Buddhism, moving to Rochester, NY, where she joined the Zen Center and studied under Roshi Philip Kapleau. She published her final book, Zen and the Lady, at the age of eighty-three.
Friedman’s rediscovery of Owens brings well-deserved attention to her little known yet extraordinary life and passionate spirit. Drawing upon autobiographies, letters, journals, and novels, Friedman chronicles Owens’s robust intellect and her tumultuous private life and, along the way, shows readers what makes her story significant. With very few role models in the early twentieth century, Owens blazed her own path of independence and enlightenment.

Captive of the Horde King Horde Kings of Dakkar Book 1 edition by Zoey Draven Romance eBooks Reviews

• In horror, Luna saw smoke from a burning field, and dread spread through the village as everyone rushed to form a line to dump water on it before the Dakkari brought their wrath down on the people. Mistakes were not permitted, and mercy was not given. At the end of the line of buckets, she saw the look on her brother’s face and knew who had caused this. The Dakkari would be coming and would demand retribution – someone would die!
  
  They came that night, 7 huge Dakkari. Luna put on a cloak and went to the middle of the street to meet up with them and explain, fully prepared to give her own life in exchange for her brother’s if that was required. Their leader was one of six horde kings who kept order and dealt out punishments. Harming the land was an insult to their deities. Luna stepped in front of her brother who had run to her and, looking into the horde king’s eyes, she told him he did not have the right to take her brother’s life – she would not let him. Instead, she asked him to take her life, as she was responsible for her brother. What the horde king wanted was that she be his concubine, warm his bed, serve him; to save Kivan, she had to agree.
  
  When they arrived at camp, a bath was prepared for Luna. When the horde king entered the tent, the women who had bathed her left and he told Luna she was to bathe him. She was terrified, but he told her to relax, that he would not take her until she healed from the abrasive ride to camp on the beast. Nervous, she asked if the Dakkari often took human whores rather than their own women. He told her she was not his whore – she was his Queen! What kind of life did this mean for her? What was she expected to do?
  
  I love this author’s books, and this one was no exception! The horde king is easy to like and respect. He treated Luna very well. She was a bit hard-headed, but that’s understandable under the circumstances and not knowing what to expect. The story line took our characters along a path of growth and understanding. The reader may be in for some surprises along the way. Grab your copy and enjoy the alien experience!
• I normally like to read the books from this writer. However, I couldn't get into this book. My issue is the same as another readers. The female agrees to obey the horse king then promptly starts disobeying and fighting him. For me it would have been better if he had kidnapped her or if she had never agrees to obey.
• Don't get me wrong. I'm liking this book. But 85% of it, is very reminiscent of K. Ashley's The Golden Dynasty. Even down to the character of "Colors" used etc.. to describe/or represent certain things. The language, the culture, the people, the events that occur here as well; have the Golden Dynasty stamp on it. if just a little bit more tame in certain circumstances.
  
  This story doesn't have the feel of an Alien sci-fi story to me at all. If you liked GD you will like this as well, but also feel as if you read it before....
  
  With that being said, I loved how many things played out here. I absolutely love our H/h, and the simple yet complicated dance they did with learning one another. It's still a beautiful story. And the way this one introduces another Horde King, I am intrigued with what book 2 will have to offer.
  
  I would recommend this read.
• I have read other books written by ZOEY DRAVEN. . This MIGHT be my NEW FAV. I see this story being more about the love of family, community and the lengths you would go to in order to protect the ones you love. You have LUNA who truly loved her mother and her younger brother. She sacrificed her hopes and dreams in order to save her brother. Yet by unselfishly giving up her life, LUNA truly finds her REAL LIFE.
  
  LUNA'S stubborn and persistent ways proves to be her strength and it is what makes her stand out in the eyes of the WARRIOR HORDE KING. I love the wisdom of this FIERCE, INTENSE & FORCEFUL (scary/sexy) WARRIOR.
  
  ZOEY builds this strange planet, DAKKAR where of course humans are again lowest on the food chain, destroying the planet and believing folklore about other beings. Sometimes what you think you KNOW, isn't the REAL story. I like the way the author uncovers little gems in the story in order to show the OTHER side.
  
  Maybe similar stories have been told, BUT I LOVED THIS STORY . . . IT WAS REALLY GOOD !!!
• I enjoyed seeing the main female character, Luna (a human), learn how to live in a different culture with the original people of the planet, the Dakkari.
  
  The romance was believable and the sex scenes were hot.

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Illustrated Edition Sherlock Holmes Detective Classics Series Arthur Conan Doyle Books Reviews

• Really wanted the illustrations. I didn't realize that there were so many illustrations and that this book prints the stories in the original Strand magazine format. It's just like reading the original with numerous illustrations embedded inside the text. Totally superior to reading text only. Got this used for a few dollars and totally worth it. Recommend to anyone who want the full experience. But remember, not all the stories were illustrated and therefore some are missing form this book.
• This review applies to the version of the book available from MysteriousPress.com/Otto Penzler editions.
  
  There are a number of one-star reviews that some versions are missing any part of the text that was originally printed in a newspaper or letter format - or in the case of this novel, the manuscript that details the legend concerning Sir Hugo and the Hound of the Baskervilles.
  
  I've doublechecked, and the MysteriousPress e-book does NOT appear to be missing any of these sections. The manuscript is definitely there, as are the few newspaper articles in chapter 4.
  
  The story, of course, is classic Holmes at his best - disguises, uncovering clues, setting Watson on a task without giving him all the details, requiring the client to take some risks, and finding the villain. Well worth the read, and well-formatted.
• If you are buying this book to have the Sherlock Holmes stories that were printed in the "Strand," then this is a great buy at $8.00. However, if you are particularly interested in the illustrations by Sidney Paget (it's "Sidney," folks, Sydney Paget was also a Englishman, but not an illustrator), then you are probably in for disappointment if you've seen them before. The original illustrations look like they've been xeroxed on a 1980s copier with the contrast turned to maximum. The shadowy drawings have been reproduced as starkly black and white with little of the wonderful shading that characterizes the original artwork. In short, buy this book for a cheap collection of Doyle's work (although not a complete collection of Sherlock Holmes) to carry around and read for fun, but if you're trying to get it accompanied by Paget's artwork (which frankly has become the iconic portrayal of Holmes), look for another anthology.
• I read this as a kid and the creepiness of the legendary hellhound made quite an impression. I decided to re-read it when I found out it was set in Devon, which has special associations for me. Fortunately, there is a lot of description of the Devon moors by Dr. Watson (a tad bit unrealistically, it must be admitted, in his letters to Holmes and in his diary) and it contributes to the brooding mood of the story.
  
  The book is, of course, well-written, but what I noticed was that it's when Sherlock Holmes is present that the pages turn the fastest. Doyle does a terrific job of creating an unforgettable, quirky character through mostly dialogue. Holmes is often a bit of a buffoon, really, who can't let an opportunity go by to show his genius. At the end of the book, when he could have gracefully allowed Dr. Watson to take all the credit for having found out, entirely on his own, a vital piece of information, Holmes says "This also you cleared up in a very effective way, though I had already come to the same conclusions from my own observations."
  
  He has to drive it home that nothing escapes his brilliant investigative skills. As if Watson didn't already know that. What would it have hurt to have allowed Watson to think he had contributed something necessary? Somehow, despite this selfish boorishness, you still find Holmes endearing. Maybe that's because it hints at a chink in his armor, an underlying need to be seen as perfect in this area of his life. A hint of insecurity in such a "masterful" man, as Watson calls him, is appealing.
  
  One part of the book made me laugh, and not in a good way. The escaped convict, a vicious and diabolical murderer--who Dr. Watson is at pains to point out is unrepentant and unredeemable and likely to commit more murders if he isn't apprehended--is allowed to go free for the sake of one weeping woman's feelings about what he'd been like as a child. But here's the truly awful part. He's only allowed to go free if he leaves England and takes his murderous ways to South America. Obviously, S.American lives cannot compare in value to English lives, so it makes perfect sense to send a murderer off to that distant land. What a happy outcome for all involved! They congratulate themselves on this intelligent solution.
  
  Another thing that struck me as I read was how many of Agatha Christie's mysteries (particularly her Poirot stories) had elements taken from this one Doyle mystery. I began to understand why she was so modest about the success of her books and didn't like to be praised for them. I imagine she felt the credit often went to Doyle. Though, in fact, her own writing has stood the test of time so whatever she owed to him for plot points , she certainly deserved the credit for her own creations.
  
  I would have given this classic five stars except for the two last paragraphs in the book, which undermined the whole mystery. When it comes right down to it, the murderer's basic design is hugely flawed. Dr. Watson points it out and Holmes admits he has no answer for it. He gives some possible, speculative solutions but none of them hold up very well. We're supposed to believe the murderer is one of the cleverest Holmes has ever come up against, but the very last paragraph reveals that he was incredibly shortsighted and frankly stupid.
  
  All the same, it holds up well and is much more accessible to a modern audience than many classics. That's probably partly due to everyone's familiarity with Holmes, but it's also due to Doyle's clean and crisp writing. You won't regret giving it a read.
• What a treat for Sherlock Holmes fans. Of course, I've read all of the stories and novels. Of course I already have the complete collection, and then some. This book is an amazing addition for fans.
  
  First, the downside. This is a facsimile of the ORIGINAL Strand issues, which means that some pages have text that looks a bit faded, or light, as has been complained about by other reviewers. But I ask you, what did the typical print look like 126 years ago? Most readers picked up magazines that had "soft print" off the shelf. So, I guess it's not a downside after all.
  
  To the most striking positive, this is Sherlock Holmes as was read in it's originality! This is as close to an actual copy as you will get. Next to my original 1907 edition of "Adventures, Memoirs, and Sign of Four" this is my second favorite collection of stories. (I admit, I would much rather read this copy, then risk turning the pages of my 110 year old book!
  
  To read it in it's original magazine, double column format with artwork from Sidney Paget is simply a treat! It transports you to a simpler time on the back streets of London.
  
  As a devoted fan and fellow Sherlock Holmes author, I cannot but praise it highly!
  
  You will not regret this book purchase.
