From the international bestselling author and notable journalist Aldo Cazzullo comes a brilliantly researched and extremely accessible journey through the history and legacy of the Roman Empire. “The only way to narrate over a thousand years of history is to understand what it has left us. To tell the reasons, the things and the stories, thanks to which Roman civilization is alive”. From its mythical foundations and epic construction to its enduring historical and cultural impact, the ancient Roman Empire has long fascinated readers across the world. In The Neverending Empire esteemed Italian journalist Aldo Cazzullo describes an exciting new historical perspective: that the Roman Empire never fell. In fact, its influence reaches further and deeper than ever. Beginning with the origins of Rome, and the literary myth of Aeneas and Romulus, Cazzullo takes the reader on a page-turning voyage through ancient history, bringing to life the most captivating moments and characters of a dominant Empire: the republican age, with heroic men and women willing to die for their country. The adventure of coup plotters like Catiline and revolutionaries like Spartacus, the slave who inspired rebels of every age. The extraordinary stories of Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus, two of the greatest leaders to have lived. Cazzullo goes on to draw fascinating parallels between the ancient and modern world, revealing how Rome lives on, across every facet of life and society. The ancient Romans have inspired poets, and artists, from Dante to Hollywood. They have dictated the rules of war, architecture, language and law. They have inspired America’s democratic influence and the digital revolution led by Mark Zuckerberg, a great admirer of Emperor Augustus: the first man to lead a multi-ethnic community of people who didn’t know each other but shared language, images and culture. From the Napoleonic to the British regimes, the ideas and philosophies of ancient Rome have been much imitated, but never surpassed. This is the remarkable story of an enduring Empire. An Empire that never died. An Empire that lives on, forever.

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics. 'My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, if I treat them like rational creatures, instead of flattering their fascinating graces, and viewing them as if they were in a state of perpetual childhood, unable to stand alone.' In the midst of revolution, when fundamental social upheaval was reshaping France and America, writer and philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft made an impassioned argument for women to have a place in this new world. Her demands laid out in this 1792 essay, to treat women as human beings deserving of a rational education, self-determination and equal rights alongside men, laid the foundation for modern feminism. Wollstonecraft has been admired and loathed: called a 'hyena in petticoats' by Horace Walpole and an inspiration to writers and feminists such as George Eliot and Millicent Fawcett. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is a key text to understand the making of the modern world.

Brutální vražda a zmizelé mistrovské dílo – to je záhada, kterou může vyřešit jen Gabriel Allon... Restaurátor umění a legendární špion Gabriel Allon se v utajení vplížil do Londýna, aby se zúčastnil recepce v Courtauldově galerii na oslavu návratu ukradeného autoportrétu Vincenta van Gogha. Když ho však starý přítel z policie hrabství Devon a Cornwall požádá o pomoc při vyšetřování záhadné vraždy, zjistí, že proti němu teď stojí další mocný a nebezpečný protivník. Obětí je Charlotte Blakeová, slavná profesorka dějin umění z Oxfordu, která tráví víkendy ve stejné přímořské vesnici, kde kdysi pod falešnou identitou žil i Gabriel. Její vražda se zdá být dílem ďábelského sériového vraha, který terorizuje cornwallský venkov. Je tu však řada nápadných nesrovnalostí, včetně chybějícího mobilního telefonu a záhadné třípísmenné šifry, kterou zanechala ve své pracovně. Gabriel brzy zjistí, že profesorka Blakeová pátrala po uloupeném Picassovi v hodnotě přesahující sto milionů dolarů, a pustí se do honby za obrazem tak, jak to umí jen on – s šesti plátny známých impresionistů, která vlastnoručně zfalšoval, a s nepravděpodobným týmem agentů, v němž je světoznámá houslistka, profesionální zlodějka a bývalý nájemný vrah, který se stal britským špionem! Nenechte si ujít další knihu od nejlepšího autora románů z prostředí tajných služeb! Strhující, plný intrik, napínavý a brilantní příběh o vraždě, moci a nenasytné chamtivosti, který čtenáře vtáhne do děje, dokud ho nedočte do posledního písmenka!
