  My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
  
  Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
  
  Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
  
  The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
  
  The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

  Caesar and the Roman Republic -...

  Julius Caesar’s rise to power is one of the most fascinating stories in Roman history. Born into a patrician family in 100 BCE, Caesar’s early life was marked by both privilege and struggle. Although he came from a noble family, his position was not secure. His family had fallen from political prominence, and Caesar’s early years were fraught with financial difficulties and political rivalries. His father died when Caesar was young, leaving him to navigate the complex political landscape of Rome largely on his own. 
  Caesar’s first major step toward power came when he joined the military, gaining valuable experience and recognition in the Roman army. His leadership and military skill helped him rise through the ranks, and by 69 BCE, he had secured a position as quaestor, a crucial step in his political career. During his time in the army, Caesar gained a reputation for his boldness and ambition, qualities that would define his later political career. 
  His political journey truly began when he formed the First Triumvirate in 60 BCE, a political alliance with two of Rome’s most powerful figures: Pompey the Great and Crassus. This alliance was not born of friendship, but rather of mutual interests. Pompey sought land for his soldiers and recognition for his military victories, while Crassus, the wealthiest man in Rome, sought political influence and power. Caesar, for his part, wanted to secure military command and the financial backing necessary to rise to the top of Roman politics. Together, they formed a formidable bloc that allowed Caesar to advance rapidly in his career.

  One hundred vivid portraits of real-life characters bring to life the highs and lows of Rome's dramatic history. 
   
   
   
  A vibrant portrait of a lost world, A History of Ancient Rome in 100 Lives reveals the mightiest civilization of antiquity through the eyes of one hundred of its citizens. The book gives a voice not just to Rome's most famous generals and rulers, such as Caesar and Caligula, but also to its builders, sculptors, poets, historians, gladiators, shepherds, enslaved people, and courtesans. The book begins with Faustulus, the foster father of Romulus and Remus, and closes with the final emperor, Romulus Augustulus. The stories of Roman women are given their due as well—from Servilia, Caesar's lover; to Agrippina, the murderous wife of Claudius; Amazonia, the sword-swinging gladiator; and Hypatia, philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician. Exploring every level of society and using the latest archaeological evidence as well as ancient texts, the authors build up a picture of what it meant to live in Ancient Rome.
