Irene of Athens The Empress Mantis

Patrizio Corda

Sinossi

768 AD. - Young Irene, who comes from a noble Greek family, participates in the pompous "bridal parade"
called by the basileus Constantine V in order to find the future bride of the heir to the Eastern throne, his son Leo.
Against all odds, she will succeed over all the competitors by conquering her future husband, who will
introduce her to the court, changing her life after years of vexation by her own family members.
But neither Leo nor she can imagine what will happen next. Increasingly comfortable in the palace and fascinated by power,
Irene will begin to nurture ambitions far greater than her role as consort to the basileus.
Succumbing to her hunger, she will start an ascent that will remain in history. And that will consign her to posterity
as the first empress of the Romans, alone and unchallenged in power.
At the expense of her enemies, but also of her loved ones.

What's the Matter with Kansas? -...

Thomas Franke

The New York Times bestseller, praised as "hilariously funny . . . the only way to understand why so many Americans have decided to vote against their own economic and political interests" (Molly Ivins).**Unabridged for the first time with a new introduction**This program is read by the author. Hailed as "dazzlingly insightful and wonderfully sardonic" (Chicago Tribune), "very funny and very painful" (San Francisco Chronicle), and "in a different league from most political books" (The New York Observer), What's the Matter with Kansas? unravels the great political mystery of our day: Why do so many Americans vote against their economic and social interests? With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank answers the riddle by examining his home state, Kansas—a place once famous for its radicalism that now ranks among the nation's most eager participants in the culture wars. Charting what he calls the "thirty-year backlash"—the popular revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment—Frank reveals how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans.A brilliant analysis—and funny to boot—What's the Matter with Kansas? is a vivid portrait of an upside-down world where blue-collar patriots recite the Pledge while they strangle their life chances; where small farmers cast their votes for a Wall Street order that will eventually push them off their land; and where a group of frat boys, lawyers, and CEOs has managed to convince the country that it speaks on behalf of the People.A Macmillan Audio production from Metropolitan Books
