    Following Caesar - From Rome to...

    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.

    'It is a place that 'grows upon you' every day. There seems to be always something to find out in it.'
    
    Written in 1846, Pictures from Italy remains one of Dickens's most dazzling travelogues, chronicling his time through some of the most beautiful corners of Italy.
    
    Blending luscious vivid imagery, social commentary and compelling personal narrative, Dickens recounts his time in Rome, Venice, Florence, Naples and more. An avid admirer of the country's architecture, art and landscapes, and fascinated by its history, Dickens also offers profound meditations on Italy's social and political struggles. A unique insight into nineteenth-century Italian culture, Pictures from Italy elegantly explores the complex relationship between the country's people, heritage and political unrest. This audiobook is skilfully read by Jonathan Keeble.
    Charles Dickens (1812 – 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the twentieth century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are widely read, performed and adapted today.

    If you want to learn Chinese in less time while also enjoying yourself, then pay attention... 
    What is the best way to learn Chinese? We should remember how we learned our own language when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult.  
    Think of what a child does; he or she listens to what people say and tries to copy the words. When he or she wants something, they have to ask for it. They are using the language, speaking it, and thinking in it all the time. Thus, if a second language is also used as frequently, it will be learned very quickly. 
    The main purpose of this audiobook is to provide you with a platform to improve your reading skills and your ability to use Chinese comprehensively so that you can easily read and learn. 
    In Chinese Short Stories: 11 Simple Stories for Beginners Who Want to Learn Mandarin Chinese in Less Time While Also Having Fun, you will encounter rich and new but not too complex vocabulary, which is translated at the end of the chapter, avoiding the hassle of having to stop the reading rhythm to look up every word in the dictionary. Every paragraph is translated, as well as the summary of the story, thus providing a clearer comprehension of each sentence, while trying to prevent the temptation that the reader might have, if discouraged, of giving up and reading the whole story in English. 
    So if you want to learn Chinese while having fun, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
