Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A letter arrives from southern France rekindles memories and feelings for Hercule, a mercenary turned Franciscan, living a quiet life on the coastal city-state of Ragusa on the Dalmatian coast. The past was anything but quiet as his life was intertwined with Katherine, an apothecary from Montpellier on the southern French coast. This letter from the Abbess brings an earnestness that Hercule cannot ignore. His beloved Katherine is dying and she has a secret to tell him. Will she be able to handle the ramifications if he does not find out her secret? Is the past coming to haunt him? His memories return to inflict torment on him. A time of long ago. A time of dreams and adventure. A time of love, war, blood, and death. A wagon of gold. Janissaries on a mission to apprehend that gold—even if they have to kill to get it. And they have, for the sultan. The Ottoman Empire is awaiting its tribute from the West. The question is, who will get to the gold first? It is a race against time as Hercule, his friend and confidant Hasan, and Katherine must reach for the safety within the fortress walls of Ragusa before the Turks can steal the gold. Can Hercule amend for his past transgressions? In his debut novel, John Peric brings to life a story of unsuspecting lives and forbidden love that have been brought together by the powers that be in the mountains and valleys of Bosnia-Herzegovina, which lay between the two major empires of Europe and the Ottomans. Will Hercule and Katherine be able to survive the certain death waiting for them? Even worse, if they escape, will they survive the memories and the love they cannot forget?

Download or read book Early Medieval Hum and Bosnia ca 450 1200 written by Danijel Džino and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-09 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores social transformations which led to the establishment of medieval Hum (future Herzegovina) and Bosnia in the period from ca. 450 to 1200 AD using the available written and material sources. It follows social and political developments in these historical regions from the last centuries of Late Antiquity, through the social collapse of the seventh and eighth centuries, and into their new medieval beginnings in the ninth century. Fragmentary and problematic sources from this period were, in the past, often used to justify modern political claims to these contested territories and incorporate them into the ‘national biographies’ of the Croats, Serbs and Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), or to support the ‘Yugoslavizing’ and other ideological discourses. The book goes beyond ideological and national mythologemes of the past in order to provide a new historical narrative that brings more light to this region placed on the frontiers of both the medieval West and the Byzantine empire. It provides new views of the period between ca. 450 and 1200 for the parts of Western Balkans and Eastern Adriatic, brings the most recent local historical and archaeological research to the Anglophone readership and contributes to the scholarship of the late antique and early medieval Mediterranean study of this very poorly known area. The book is intended for academic audiences interested in history and archaeology of the Late Antiquity and early Middle Ages, but also to all those interested in the general history of Herzegovina, Bosnia, Dalmatia and the Balkans.

Download or read book Tito written by Geoffrey Swain and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Josip Broz Tito was a remarkable figure in the history of Communism, the Second World War, the Balkans and post-war Eastern Europe. He was the only European besides Lenin to lead a successful Communist revolution and became one of the most renowned Communist leaders of all time. For a certain generation, he was remembered as someone who stood up to both Hitler and Stalin - and won. Tito was above all else a communist, and was devoted to the communist cause until the day he died. What made him different from other communist leaders was that his early experience of Soviet Russia had given him sufficient knowledge of the Soviet experiment to be wary of its spell. In this, the first post-communist biography of Tito, the acclaimed historian Geoffrey Swain paints a new picture of this famous figure, focusing primarily on his Communist years. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in Communist and Eastern European history.

Download or read book When Eagles Dared written by Howard Hughes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Eagles Dared is a salute to the men and women who participated in World War II and the filmmakers who have immortalised their stories on screen. It tells both the story of the historical events of this first truly 'world war' and of the films that have depicted these events - comparing the cinematic myth with the historical reality - as a guide to history through cinema. When Eagles Dared portrays the people who participated in the war, from the evacuation of the Allied forces from France at Dunkirk through to the battle for Berlin and beyond. Each chapter discusses a theatre of war, an event, a campaign or battle by explaining the historical events as they unfold and then examines how filmmakers have represented them. Chapters discuss the war in the skies (Battle of Britain and The Dam Busters), the sea (Sink the Bismarck! and The Cruel Sea) and the North African desert (The Battle of El Alamein and Tobruk). There are 'special mission' movies including Where Eagles Dare and The Dirty Dozen, classic tales of ingenuity (The Great Escape), valour (Saving Private Ryan), and human endurance (The Bridge on the River Kwai). Offering a unique view of war through the lenses of over 150 diverse films that have shaped our perceptions of the conflict, When Eagles Dared is illustrated with rare stills and posters from this ever popular genre.
