Sinossi

In "The Tower of London (Vol. 1&2)," Lord Ronald Gower intricately weaves a comprehensive and enthralling narrative that examines the Tower'Äôs multifaceted history, exploring its role as a royal palace, fortress, and prison. His literary style'Äîcharacterized by rich, evocative language and meticulous detail'Äîinvites readers into the turbulent history of one of England'Äôs most iconic landmarks. Gower deftly situates his work within the context of Victorian-era historical writing, marked by a revival of interest in national heritage and medieval architecture, drawing insights from both primary sources and existing literature to illuminate the complex tapestry of events that have unfolded within the Tower's formidable walls. Lord Ronald Gower, a notable figure in the Victorian art and literary circles, was deeply influenced by the romantic idealization of history that permeated his contemporaneous society. His background as a sculptor and his keen interest in English history propelled him to investigate the stories embedded within the Tower, from its enigmatic inhabitants to significant events that shaped British history, ultimately pushing him to contribute to the preservation of this national monument through his scholarship. Readers with an interest in history, architecture, or literary narratives will find "The Tower of London" an indispensable addition to their collections. Gower'Äôs thorough research and engaging prose not only provide a captivating exploration of the Tower'Äôs evolution but also reflect broader themes of power, legacy, and resilience, making it relevant and compelling for both casual readers and scholars alike.

    Was Navalny deliberately poisoned? Does the evidence we have justify sanctions against Russia? Was the recording with the KGB agent a set-up? Is Navalny really the "main opponent of Vladimir Putin"? Does his film about "Putin's Palace" reflect reality? This book is the first investigation of the Navalny case. It is based on official American, British, Russian, French and German documents. Written by an ex-agent of the Swiss secret service who fought for ten years against the Soviet Union, this account highlights a new way of practicing foreign policy: passionate, disordered, without hindsight or constructive purpose. The immediate application of sanctions while the facts remain unclear removes all space for diplomacy. The Western unison around this affair and the censorship against dissenting voices reveal a disturbing evolution of society and its growing vulnerability to manipulation. We create realities out of our prejudices: this is the definition of conspiracy, which has become the main weapon of Western countries. We do what we reproach the autocrats for. Jacques Baud, a colonel in the Swiss army, is an expert in chemical and nuclear weapons, and trained in counter-terrorism and counter-guerrilla warfare. In the service of the United Nations, he was head of doctrine for peacekeeping operations in New York, and engaged in Africa. At NATO, he led the fight against the proliferation of small arms.

    In 66 BC, young, ambitious Julius Caesar, seeking recognition and authority, became the curator of the Via Appia. He borrowed significant sums to restore the ancient highway. It was a way to curry favor from Roman citizens in villages along the route, built from Rome to Brindisi between 312-191 BC. After achieving greatness in Rome and the far reaches of Gaul, he led armies along this road to battle enemies in Roman civil wars. And then, across the Adriatic Sea, he joined Via Appia's sister road, the Via Egnatia that began in today's Albania. Other armies followed these two roads that eventually connected Rome to Byzantium, today's Istanbul. In the early second century AD, the emperor Trajan charted a new coastal route between Benevento and Brindisi, later called the Via Traiana. 
 
 
 
Today, short stretches of the original three roads can be seen in the ruins of ancient Roman cities, now preserved as archaeological wonders, and through the countryside near, and sometimes under, modern highways. Following those routes is the purpose of treading along the path that Caesar and so many others took over the early centuries. Modern eyes, seeing through the mists of more than two thousand years of history, lead the traveler along these three roads coursing through six countries between Rome and Istanbul.
