"Wenn dunkler Rauch aus steinernen Tempeln aufsteigt, sich die Anhängerinnen des Dionysos-Kults den tiefroten Wein einschenken, alte Philosophen passioniert auf der Athener Agora diskutieren und aus weiter Ferne jubelnde Siegesrufe aus Olympia erklingen – dann befinden Sie sich, liebe Leser*innen, nirgendwo anders als in der facettenreichen Welt der griechischen Antike.
Über das antike Griechenland hört man einiges; sei es die riesige Götterwelt, die über die Himmelssphäre herrscht, merkwürdige Mythen, welche wir bis heute lesen und lieben, oder gar Persönlichkeiten wie die des Alexander dem Großen, die in uns Faszination und Neugierde auslösen – jede*r von uns ist zumindest auf irgendeine Art und Weise schon einmal mit der griechischen Antike in Kontakt gekommen.
Die äußerst komplexe und spannende Hochkultur der antiken Griechen begeistert und beeinflusst uns bis in die heutige, moderne Zeit und wirkt sich dabei immer noch auf verschiedene Dimensionen unseres Lebens aus. In Popkultur und Literatur, jedoch auch in etwas abstrakten Sphären, wie zum Beispiel der Mathematik oder gar unserer Baukunst, lassen sich regelmäßig antike griechische Einflüsse wiederfinden. Viele dieser besagten Einflüsse erachten wir als alltäglich, wodurch die äußerst spannende Geschichte hinter ihnen oftmals leider im Verborgenen bleibt.
Häufig bleibt die Welt der griechischen Antike jedoch auch aufgrund ihrer Komplexität für viele Menschen – trotz bestehendem Interesse – im Dunklen versteckt. Teils ist sie ohne eine helfende Hand, die in das Thema einführt, nicht immer ganz leicht verständlich und sorgt durch die schiere Menge an Informationen, die uns zu diesem Thema vorliegen, für Verwirrung."
"With nowhere to go and price on her head, Wren goes into hiding and joins forces with the Kingdom of Myths to destroy the corrupt elf king and reclaim her kingdom, but it comes with a price: killing her husband.

Yet, despite all his well made plans, he can't seem to let her go—even if it means revealing his secrets to secure his queen and crush his father. As a twist of fate throws Wren back into the clutches of her devilish husband, she much forge a path forward that could lead to heartbreak, blood, or redemption. Passionate and heart pounding, Queen of Legends is an enemies-to-lovers arranged-marriage romantic fantasy with dual point-of-view (his and hers). The Dragon Isle Wars trilogy is inspired by tales of Beauty and the Beast, Vikings, and Reylo. It's perfect for readers who love Glint, A Deal with the Elf King, and The Bridge Kingdom."

"Proverb 'Just when the caterpillar thought the world was coming to an end, she changed into a butterfly.' A dangerous butterfly...
Ravaged by Rome, Morrigan turns her fear into revenge and now it is Rome who should fear her. Rome's tax collector Decianus Catus intrudes on Morrigan's father's funeral, flogs her mother Boudica, and then takes the Iceni people back to camp where the women are raped. He then sells them all as slaves to be taken back to Rome. However, the Trinovante warriors save them all of this horrid fate. To survive, Morrigan turns her fear into fury. Now Rome should fear her wrath.
(Story one in the Agricola series)."
"A lively and accessible introduction to the quintessential philosopher, and the civilized world's first enemy of the state.
Socrates: A Life Worth Living traces the life and ideas of one of Western civilization's founding philosophers, whose influence is still felt more than two thousand years later. Socrates is famous for how he died, executed by the Athenian government for corrupting the youth of Athens, but his most important contribution was to challenge the people around him to test their ideas and beliefs in conversation with each other, in the belief that in this way we could become a society that knows the difference between truth and falsehood, and find what makes a life worthwhile. He did not claim to have definitive answers, but he knew that knowledge was the key to finding them, and he invited everyone he met to join him in his quest.
The Socratic Method is the first, and still the best, method for distinguishing truth from falsehood. In Socrates: A Life Worth Living, award-winning author Devra Lehmann gives us the first biography for young readers of the thinker who has seen no equal.

"In late June 1922, growing animosity between Pro and Anti-Treaty factions erupted into armed conflict in the center of Dublin. For the next ten months, the Irish Free State was wracked by a bitter, bloody, and brutal civil war between those who sought to protect the new government and those who wished to destroy it. This is the story of the Irish Civil War, its origins, and its consequences."
"The Easter Rising was an attempt at independence from the United Kingdom that lasted six days and occurred during WWI. The Irish rebels were thwarted on several fronts and failed to gain the freedom from British rule that they sought.
This audiobook offers a fair view of both sides, where neither was willing to concede. If you are interested in the history of Ireland and its fight for independence, this is a good place to start."
