  History of Herodotus The - Book...

  Herodotus, George Rawlinson

  One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.
  BOOK 1: CLIO: These are the researches of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, which he publishes, in the hope of thereby preserving from decay the remembrance of what men have done, and of preventing the great and wonderful actions of the Greeks and the barbarians1 from losing their due meed of glory.

  On the remote marshes of rural England, newlyweds Jack and Laura believe they’ve found their dream cottage — a place of roses, quiet sunsets, and creative work. But beneath the ivy and charm lies a history far older and far darker than either of them suspects. 
  When their housekeeper abruptly quits just days before Halloween, she leaves behind a chilling warning: 
  On All Saints’ Eve, the man-size marble effigies in the local church are said to rise… and walk. 
  Jack laughs it off. Laura tries to. 
  But as the night of October 31st unfolds, a strange hush settles over the countryside, shadows shift in ancient aisles, and the past steps forward — cold, deliberate, and unstoppable. 
  E. Nesbit’s Man-Size in Marble is a haunting classic of Victorian ghost fiction — a tale of love, folklore, superstition, and the terrible price of disbelief. 
  Narrated with atmospheric depth by Miguel Khoury, this chilling story still hits with the same cold grip it had over a century ago. 
  A perfect listen for fans of M. R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and classic supernatural horror.
