Μία διερεύνηση των συναρπαστικών πολέμων της ναπολεόντειας εποχής. Η Γαλλική Επανάσταση των τελών της δεκαετίας του 1790 αποτέλεσε ένα από τα κρισιμότερα γεγονότα της ευρωπαϊκής ιστορίας. Ήταν μία καθοριστική στιγμή – ένα κοσμοϊστορικό γεγονός που εγκαινίασε μία καινούρια, εντελώς διαφορετική εποχή για τον κόσμο. Αλίμονο, όλες αυτές οι αλλαγές έχουν υψηλό τίμημα. Στον απόηχο της Επανάστασης, ακολούθησε μία σειρά συγκρούσεων μεγάλης κλίμακας, οι οποίες είναι γενικά γνωστές ως Ναπολεόντειοι Πόλεμοι. Το μέγεθος και η αγριότητά τους, και η απώλεια ζωών που προκάλεσαν, δεν είχαν προηγούμενο μέχρι εκείνη τη στιγμή, και έδειξαν στον κόσμο που παρακολουθούσε, ότι η αλλαγή χιλίων ετών ιστορίας μπορεί να είναι άγρια, βάρβαρη, και ταραχώδης.

Elle doit se marier… Et il va lui trouver un époux. Une amusante comédie historique. Quand la mère de Margaret Carberry la force à l’accompagner à l’étage lors d’un bal, Margaret ne s’imagine pas que ce soit pour l’attacher sur un lit et fermer la porte à double tour. Hélas, la mère de Margaret a pris l’initiative de déclarer la réputation de sa fille compromise – que Margaret ait envie ou non de recourir à de telles stratégies pour piéger un futur mari. Jasper Tierney, duc de Jevington, est surpris de tomber nez-à-nez avec une jeune femme à moitié dévêtue étendue sur son lit. Il est encore plus stupéfait de découvrir son identité. Margaret Carberry a la réputation d’être une incorrigible collet monté, pas une séductrice, quelle que soit la façon dont sa peau nue sur sa literie tente Jasper. Quand Margaret déclare ne pas vouloir accepter les manœuvres de sa mère et souhaiter trouver un mari par elle-même, Jasper promet de lui apporter son aide, de peur que la mère de Margaret ne concocte une autre méthode pour la placer dans une situation compromettante. Jasper est certain d’une chose : il n’a aucune envie de se marier. Tandis que Jasper travaille à unir Margaret à un duc de ses amis, la perspective d’un mariage forcé avec elle perd de son ignominie initiale. Peut-être a-t-il manqué l’occasion de trouver le bonheur ?

Once there was a time when Romagna was named Flaminia and the Rubicon was not only a river. When in 49 BCE Julius Caesar arrived he found waiting for him a wooden palisade coloured ruby red where he deployed his legions for several months on that border defended by the legionaries of Pompeo. But who and for what reason was it built, even before Caesar was born, a red line of defence built even to the sea and what would Caesar and his legions do to breach it? Born out of the historical events that have never before been seen, this book will lead you to discover for the first time what the Rubicon really was, what did the legionaries of Caesar do when they decided to attack Rom and many other unpublished news that you never even suspected and will lead, step by step, to discover for the first time: • What was the Rubicon really? • Who and for what reason was it constructed even before the birth of Caesar? • Why have historians never been able to agree about where the Rubicon was? • What plans and strategies did Caesar employ to cross it? • And Pompeo’s legions in its defence? • Had someone made a curse against whoever dared to cross it armed? • Did Caesar and his legions had nightmare from the ‘Malanotte’ before crossing it? • What was Romagna and what did it symbolise in the time of Caesar? • What was the festival of ‘New Years’ that took place in Roma? • What Latin insults did their legions tell each other? And much other unpublished news that you have never suspected. A book that for the first time will cast on the historical darkness left to fall on these events.

В следующем году исполняется сто лет одной из величайших трагедий в истории нашего Отечества. По воле большевиков 29 сентября 1922 года началось изгнание интеллектуальной элиты из России. Особенно много первых русских отверженных оказалось в Америке. Русские пришельцы изменили жизнь Америки. Наших гениев, коренным образом повлиявших на экономику и духовный облик Америки, сами американцы провозгласили «отцами», родоначальниками первостепенных направлений технической, научной и культурной жизни. Я попробую восстановить подробности участия только немногих великих наших соотечественников в обустройстве Америки, приобретшей с их помощью свой современный облик и нынешнее величие. Примера и этих нескольких достаточно для вывода – нынешнего своего блеска она, Америка, возможно и достигла бы, но без русского вклада она не добилась бы этого так скоро и в таких впечатляющих масштабах. Житейский и научный подвиги этих русских изгнанников в Европе и Америке – ясное тому доказательство.
