Download or read book Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes The Arts of the Spanish Inquisition Reginaldus Gonsalvius Montanus written by Marcos J. Herráiz Pareja and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes (Heidelberg, 1567), written by exiled Spanish Protestants, is the first systematic denunciation of the Spanish Inquisition. Its first part is a description of the Inquisition’s methods, making use of the Inquisition’s own instruction manual, which was not publicly known. Its second section presents a gallery of individuals who suffered persecution in Seville during the anti-Protestant repression (1557-1565). The book had a great impact, being almost immediately translated into English, French, Dutch, German, and Hungarian. The portraits very soon passed into Protestant martyrologies, and the most shocking descriptions (torture, auto de fe) became ammunition for anti-Spanish literature. This critical edition presents a new text as well as, for the first time, extensive notes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome, 609 AD Empire is a fading memory. Repeatedly fought over and plundered, the City is falling into ruins. Killers prowl by night. Far off, in Constantinople, the Emperor has other concerns as The Church is beginning to flex its own imperial muscle. Enter Aelric of England: young and beautiful, sexually uninhibited, heroic, if ruthlessly violent - and hungry for the learning of a world that is dying around him. A deadly brawl outside Rome sucks him straight into the high politics of Empire. Soon, Aelric is involved in a race against time to find answers before he ends up as just another corpse in the gutter.

Book excerpt: If you loved Gladiator and Spartacus, you'll love the second book in the DEATH OF ROME SAGA. 610 AD. Invaded by Persians and barbarians, the Byzantine Empire is tearing itself apart in civil war. Phocas, the maniacally bloodthirsty Emperor, holds Constantinople by a reign of terror. The uninvaded provinces are turning one at a time to the usurper, Heraclius. Just as the battle for the Empire approaches its climax, Aelric of England turns up in Constantinople. Blackmailed by the Papacy to leave off his career of lechery and market-rigging in Rome, he thinks his job is to gather texts for a semi-comprehensible dispute over the Nature of Christ. Only gradually does he realise he is a pawn in a much larger game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tears of Alexander shall flow, giving bread and freedom . . . 612 AD. Egypt, the jewel of the Roman Empire, seethes with unrest, as bread runs short and the Persians plot an invasion. In Alexandria, a city divided between Greeks and Egyptians by language, religion and far too few soldiers, the mummy of the Great Alexander, dead for nine hundred years, still has the power to calm the mob - or inflame it . . . In this third novel of the series, Aelric of England has become the Lord Senator Alaric and the trusted Legate of the Emperor Heraclius. He's now in Alexandria, to send Egypt's harvest to Constantinople, and to force the unwilling Viceroy to give land to the peasants. But the city - with its factions and conspirators - thwarts him at every turn. And when an old enemy from Constantinople arrives, supposedly on a quest for a religious relic that could turn the course of the Persian war, he will have to use all his cunning, his charm and his talent for violence to survive.

Download or read book The York Deviation written by Sean Gabb and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not many novels have Margaret Thatcher as a hero. Here is one of them. Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Tory-Boy Satanists, insane anti-American scientists, an army of hungry Lizards-from-beyond-the-Void. Yes, it's the University of York in 1981 - though not as anyone now alive remembers it! Edward Parker is a right-wing hypochondriac with a weight problem. Falling asleep one night as an ageing and ever-so-slightly failed barrister, he wakes in his youthful body, back in those moderately golden days of yore. It's a dream. It's surely a dream. In great things and in little, everything seems at first exactly as it had been. Only it isn't. As the dream unfolds, and shows no appearance of ending, deviation after deviation from the remembered past accumulate, and settle into the appearance of a coherent narrative. But where is this taking young Edward Parker? What is his old "friend" Michael Clarvin up to? Where have all his real friends gone? Who is "The Undertaker"? What horror lurks beneath the Temple of Isis being uncovered near the Main Library? Why is Professor Fairburn so desperate to lay hands on its power? What does he eat? And can Margaret Thatcher become all-powerful? If you were there, take this as the ultimate Walk Down Memory Lane. If you weren't, probably be grateful....

Download or read book The Churchill Memorandum written by Sean Gabb and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Probably the most bizarre and outrageous conservative black comedy of the 21st century!" Imagine: Hitler dies in a car crash in March 1939. No World War II. No US-Soviet duopoly of the world. No slide into the gutter for England. It's now 1959. America's a fascist horrorville, run by madmen with a fleet of black helicopters. Germany is prospering under corrupt and geriatric Fuhrer Goering. Soviet Russia is...well, Soviet Russia. The big winner is Britain - free, rich, almost, though not quite, as great an imperial power as in the good old days of Queen Victoria. Enter Anthony Markham - half-Indian, closet gay. He's also a hyper-patriot who worships England. He has a biography to write of a dead and largely forgotten Winston Churchill, and is coming back from America, where the old drunk left his papers. Little does he realise, as he returns to his safe, orderly England, that he carries, somewhere in his luggage, an object that can be used to destroy England and the whole structure of bourgeois civilisation as it has been gradually restored since 1918. Who is trying to kill Anthony Markham? For whom is Major Stanhope really working? Where did Dr Pakeshi get his bag of money? Is there a connection between Michael Foot, Leader of the British Communist Party, and Foreign Secretary Harold Macmillan? Why is Ayn Rand in an American prison, and Nathaniel Branden living in a South London bedsit? Why is Alan Greenspan dragged off and shot in the first chapter? Where does Enoch Powell fit into the story? Above all, what is The Churchill Memorandum? What terrible secrets does it contain? All will be revealed-but not till after Markham has gone on the run through an England unbombed, uncentralised, still free, and still mysterious. How might England and the world have turned out but for that catastrophic declaration of war in defence of Poland? Read on and wonder.... From the Reviews "Y'all, this book is further down the rabbit-hole than Alice, and I dearly wish that instead of a review wherein I praise the author for his audacity and imagination, I was publishing verbatim the notes I took. You would not believe this book." Bella Gerens "The novel is so tightly-knit that it's hard to say anything about it without giving too much away. Sean writes in a manner that has you smelling the surroundings (not always a pleasant experience) and feeling the grit of asphalt and concrete under your feet. "Noirer than noir" might be an accurate description...." L. Neil Smith "The Churchill Memorandum is one of the more sophisticated, cynical and well-written takes on the alternative-history theme that I've read." Jerome Tucille

Download or read book The Curse of Babylon written by Richard Blake and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-02-20 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 615 AD. A vengeful Persian tyrant prepares the final blow that will annihilate the Byzantine Empire. Back in Constantinople, though, Aelric of England - now the Lord Senator Alaric - has it made. He is almost as powerful as the Emperor. Seemingly without opposition, he dominates the vast and morally bankrupt capital. If, within his fortified palace, he revels in his books, his mood-altering substances, and the various delights of his serving girls and dancing boys, he alone is able to conceive and to push forward reforms that are the Empire's only hope of survival, and perhaps of restoration to wealth and greatness. But his domestic enemies are waiting for their moment to strike back. And the world's most terrifying military machine is assembling in secret beyond the mountains of the eastern frontier. What is the Horn of Babylon? Is it really accursed? Who is Antonia? What is Shahin, the bestial Persian admiral, doing on a ship within sight of the Imperial City? What exactly does Chosroes, the still more bestial Great King of Persia, want from Aelric? Is Rado a barbarian thug or a military genius? Will Priscus, the vile and disgraced former Commander of the East, get his place in the history books? Must it be written in Aelric's blood? In this sixth novel in the series, can Aelric rise to his greatest challenge yet? Intrigue, sex, black comedy, spectacular crowd scenes and extreme violence - you will find it all here in luxuriant abundance.

Download or read book Vergil the Aeneid Book Six written by Sean Gabb and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of Aeneid VI contains the following: The Latin text in a large and attractive format; An Introduction, covering themes and scansion, among much else; A full set of notes; A list of all names and places mentioned in the text; A vocabulary of all the words found in the text; A separate vocabulary of words used more than eight times in the text; A rewriting of the text as Latin prose; A translation of the text into English prose. The main object of the edition is to make Aeneid VI more accessible to anyone who wants to read Vergil, but whose Latin, though good, is not ready for the challenge. For this object, perhaps its main distinguishing feature is a Latin prose version. Words are reordered into a sequence more natural to English eyes. Many words are replaced with more natural alternatives. Pronouns and verbs and prepositions are supplied that are left out in the original for metrical or stylistic reasons. Paragraphs are broken up, and speech marks are given as if in a novel. The advantage is that the result is still Latin. It is Latin that can be read without too much looking in a dictionary - and not too much head-scratching thereafter. Unlike any English version, it is obviously related to the original, and is a fair key to understanding the original.

Other Classical Texts by Sean Gabb on Amazon: Acts of the Apostles: A Parallel Text - Greek, Latin, English Aeneid XI: Text with Latin Prose Version Ars Grammatica Stories from Paul the Deacon Stories from the Life of Christ From the Amazon Reviews: This text is a great collection of passages from the life of Christ that perfectly fills the need for an intermediate reader, and has a great selective dictionary at the end with just the words used in the texts, so it is quick to use. This suited my level perfectly as the passages were not too complex, but beyond beginner level, and include enough repetition in the stories and dialogue to help memory retention. (Stories from the Life of Christ) [G]oing from Latin lessons to real Latin texts is a huge jump. Here the author has chosen later texts written by Paul the Deacon.... The Latin is simpler as a result and it makes the book a very useful stepping stone.... [My Latin has now] gone rusty, and this book looks an ideal way for me to recapture some of that lost prowess. Also it has a vocabulary.... Yes I have a Latin dictionary, but experience... has shown me the value of having a vocabulary or dictionary at the back. (Stories from Paul the Deacon)
