Halvin toimitettuna 20,10 €

'One of the great love stories of history, in a league with Napoleon and Josephine, and Antony and Cleopatra ... Excellent, with dazzling mastery of detail and literary flair' EconomistIt was history's most successful political partnership - as sensual and fiery as it was creative and visionary. Catherine the Great was a woman of notorious passion and imperial ambition. Prince Potemkin - wildly flamboyant and sublimely talented - was the love of her life and her co-ruler. Together they seized Ukraine and Crimea, defining the Russian empire to this day. Their affair was so tumultuous that they negotiated an arrangement to share power, leaving Potemkin free to love his beautiful nieces, and Catherine her young male favourites. But these 'twin souls' never stopped loving each other. Drawing on their intimate letters and vast research, Simon Sebag Montefiore's enthralling, widely acclaimed biography restores these imperial partners to their rightful place as titans of their age.

Voices of History: Speeches That Changed the World

Simon Sebag Montefiore

VINTAGE
2021
nidottu
A celebration of the great speeches of world history and cultural life. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL In this exuberant collection, acclaimed historian Simon Sebag Montefiore takes us on a journey from ancient times to the twenty-first century. Some speeches are heroic and inspiring; some diabolical and atrocious. Some are exquisite and poignant; others cruel and chilling. The speakers themselves vary from empresses and conquerors to rock stars, novelists and sportsmen, dreamers and killers, from Churchill and Elizabeth I to Stalin and Genghis Khan, and from Michelle Obama and Cleopatra to Ronald Reagan, Nehru, and Muhammad Ali. All human drama is here: from the carnage of battlefields to the theatre of courtrooms, from table talk to audiences of millions, from desperate last stands to orations of triumph, from noble calls for liberation to genocidal rants, from foolish delusions and strange confessions to defiant resistance and heartbreaking farewells. Voices of History spans centuries, continents, and cultures. In the accessible and gripping style of a master storyteller, Montefiore shows why these seventy speeches are essential reading and how they enlighten our past, enrich our present, and inspire--as well as hold warnings for--our future.

Historiens skrift er en hyllest til verdenshistoriens store brev. Den kritikerroste historikeren Simon Sebag Montefiore har plukket ut over hundre brev, fra antikkens tid til det 21. århundre. Noen er edelmodige og inspirerende, noen er avskyelige og skakende. Noen er utsøkte stykker litteratur, andre brutale, grove og bent frem skandaløse. Mange er erotiske, andre hjerteskjærende. Avsenderne spenner fra Elisabeth I, Ramses den store og Leonard Cohen, til Donald Trump, Emmeline Pankhurst, Mandela, Stalin, Michelangelo, Suleiman den store, og ukjente mennesker i ekstraordinære omstendigheter – fra kjærlighetsbrev til frigjøringsrop, fra krigserklæringer til refleksjoner over døden. Montefiore er en mesterlig forteller med en fargerik og tilgjengelig stil og her viser han oss hvorfor disse brevene er obligatorisk lesning – hvordan de gir oss innsikt i fortiden, beriker nåtiden og kaster nytt lys over fremtiden.

Written in History: Letters that Changed the World celebrates the great letters of world history, and cultural and personal life. Bestselling, prizewinning historian Simon Sebag Montefiore selects letters that have changed the course of global events or touched a timeless emotion--whether passion, rage, humor--from ancient times to the twenty-first century.

It is a surprising and eclectic selection, from the four corners of the world, filled with extraordinary women and men, from ancient times to now. Truly a choice of letters for our own times encompassing love letters to calls for liberation to declarations of war to reflections on life and death. The writers vary from Elizabeth I and Catherine the Great to Mandela, Stalin and Picasso, Fanny Burney and Emily Pankhurst to Ada Lovelace and Rosa Parks, Oscar Wilde, Chekhov and Pushkin to Balzac, Mozart and Michelangelo, Hitler, Rameses the Great and Alexander Hamilton to Augustus and Churchill, Lincoln, Donald Trump and Suleiman the Magnificent. In a book that is a perfect gift, here is a window on astonishing characters, seminal events, and unforgettable words.

Imprisoned in the Gulags for a crime he did not commit, Benya Golden joins a penal battalion made up of Cossacks and convicts to fight the Nazis. He enrolls in the Russian cavalry, and on a hot summer day in July 1942, he and his band of brothers are sent on a suicide mission behind enemy lines--but is there a traitor among them? The only thing Benya can truly trust is his horse, Silver Socks, and that he will find no mercy in onslaught of Hitler's troops as they push East. Spanning ten epic days, between Benya's war on the grasslands of southern Russia and Stalin's intrigues in the Kremlin, between Benya's intense affair with an Italian nurse and a romance between Stalin's daughter and a war correspondent, this is a sweeping story of passion, bravery, and survival--where betrayal is a constant companion, death just a heartbeat away, and love, however fleeting, offers a glimmer of redemption.

Inspired by a true story, New York Times bestselling author Simon Sebag Montefiore explores the consequences of forbidden love in this heartbreaking epic childhood, danger, and betrayal that unfolds during the bleak days after WWII. As Moscow celebrates the motherland's glorious victory over the Nazis, shots ring out on the crowded streets. On a nearby bridge, a teenage boy and girl--dressed in traditional nineteenth-century costumes--lie dead. But this is no ordinary tragedy, because these are no ordinary teenagers. They were the children of high-ranking Soviet officials. Was it an accident, or murder? Is it a conspiracy against Stalin, or one of his own terrifying intrigues? On Stalin's instructions, a ruthless investigation begins into what becomes known as the Children's Case. Youth across the city are arrested and forced to testify against their friends and their parents. As families are ripped apart, all kinds of secrets come spilling out. Trapped at the center of this witch-hunt are two pairs of illicit lovers, who learn that matters of the heart exact a terrible price. By turns a darkly sophisticated political thriller, a rich historical saga, and a deeply human love story, Montefiore's masterful novel powerfully portrays the terror and drama of Stalin's Russia.

isokokoinen pokkari
"Romanovit on ylivertaista eeppistä historiaa - - Siihen verrattuna Game of Thrones on kuin teekutsut pappilan puutarhassa"Antony BeevorMiten verisesti keskenään riitelevä suku onnistui saamaan Venäjän otteeseensa ja rakentamaan maailman loistavimman dynastian - ja miten he tuhosivat sen? Kun Romanovit nousivat osin sattuman kautta Venäjän valtaistuimelle, maa oli sotien ja nälänhädän raunioittama. Vähitellen suku sai sekasortoisesta maasta rautaisen otteen ja ryhtyi laajentamaan alueitaan. Tuloksena oli valtakunta, jota mikään mahti ei voinut kaataa - paitsi Romanovit itse. Kun hallitsijasuku romahti, myös Suomelle avautui mahdollisuus itsenäistyä. Millaisia ihmisiä olivat yhdeksäntoista Romanov-suvun hallitsijaa ja heidän lähipiirinsä? Entä elääkö Romanovien henkinen perintö uutta kukoistuskauttaan nyky-Venäjän johdossa?" Teosta voi lukea poliittisena historiana, mutta samalla se vie mennessään kuin laadukas epookkiromaani." Maaseudun Tulevaisuus"Hallitsijasuvun jykevä ja vetävä historiateos auttaa ymmärtämään Venäjän nykypäivän ongelmia." Keskisuomalainen"Tapahtumat ja juonittelut ovat sen verran huimaavia, että tunnettu fiktiivinen televisiosarja kalpenee rinnalla, ja paikka paikoin veri sekä suolenpätkät melkein valuvat sivuilta. Montefioren ja suomentajan teksti on myös erinomaista." Ilta-Sanomat
