Book Description
In the late fall of 1095 Pope Urban II gave a speech in Clermont, France and set all of Europe into motion. As many as a hundred and fifty thousand people eventually responded to the call, leaving everything they knew behind to undertake what appeared to be a fool’s mission: marching several thousand miles into enemy territory to reconquer Jerusalem for Christendom. Against all odds they succeeded, creating a Christian outpost in the heart of the Islamic world that lasted for the better part of two centuries. Perhaps no other period in history is as misunderstood as the Crusades, and in this fast-paced account, bestselling author Lars Brownworth presents the entire story, from the first clash of Christendom and Islam in the dusty sands of Yarmouk, to the fall of the last crusader state. Along the way he introduces the reader to an exotic world peopled by mighty emperors, doomed Templars, grasping generals, and ambitious peasants. Some of the most famous names of the Middle Ages - Richard the Lionheart, Saladin, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and the legendary Prester John - illuminate this era of splendor, adventure, and faith.

Book Description
Haunting postcard images of the non-Western world from a century ago. The antique postcards depicted here were acquired in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by Western tourists, business people, traders, and colonialists. The circumstances in which the cards were sent, and the details of those who sent them, are largely lost. Yet the audience for collecting them has enjoyed a spectacular growth in recent years and includes not only those with the collecting instinct or the desire to travel but also artists, photographic historians, fashion and jewelry specialists, and designers everywhere. Once it was believed that by taking someone's portrait you stole that person's soul. Here, the human subjects have a powerful presence because they express a deep-seated connection with the land and customs that gave them their identities. Their stories are implicit in their eyes, their costumes, and their postures. Reproduced with complete fidelity, these postcards take us on a magical journey across the world in five travelogues, depicting Asia, the Arab Lands, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. The book is introduced by one of the greatest and most successful travel writers of our time.

Book Description
Narrated by the chatty and imaginative Roman poet Ovid who tells the tale of his own exile, interspersed with more well-loved tales from his Metamorphoses. The book introduces readers to the Ovid's exile, the history of Ovid's life and introduction to the geography of the Roman Empire will engage pupils. Children will be enthralled by stories such as Lycaon, the wild man who became a wolf, and Pyramus and Thisbe, the love-struck pair who whisper through a crack in their adjoining wall. These are woven into Ovid's account of his last night in Rome, his dramatic journey across the seas, and the strangeness of his new world. Along the way, readers pick up Latin words and grammar and are encouraged to explore the connections between Latin and English, as well as the ways in which Ovid's stories still speak to us today. Metamorphoses is one of the most important works of Roman literature, and is familiar to all teachers of Classics (and a core text in most Latin courses).

Book Description
O amor à poesia ressignifica os encontros. Sobretudo os encontros felizes em vida celebrada. Na singularidade poética de Marco Lucchesi, esses alcances parecem se dar naturalmente. Nascem da expansão de fronteiras idiomáticas e culturais próprias da atitude do poeta. Criador de geografias plurais da palavra. Traduções conectoras de longínquas terras em sedutora erudição. Aproximações entre mundos (im)possíveis. Este belo livro resulta de outro desses percursos nomadistas do poeta, incensado pelos aromas do Oriente dessa vez à luz da Índia. Ao longo de todo um cenário de encontros com alunos e importantes poetas e intelectuais representativos de suas respectivas línguas de expressão hindi, urdu e bangla, além do português e do inglês, consolidam-se as escolhas poético-tradutórias desta antologia. Tais delicados movimentos nômades parecem inevitáveis na obra de Marco Lucchesi. (Re)nasceres poéticos de agudos encontros. Felizes encontros. Agudas também as vozes tradutórias dos poemas desta antologia breve, mas tão especial, organizada por Márcia Fusaro e Sonya Gupta. Renato Rezende na tradução para o inglês, Mangalesh Dabral para o idioma hindi, Anisur Rahman para urdu e Anuradha Acharjee para bangla traduzem e aproximam em terras distantes a voz plural do poeta. Bem-vinda iniciativa! Lucchesi é poeta do mundo e pelo mundo merece ser lido. The love of poetry gives new meaning to encounters. Especially happy encounters in celebrated life. In Marco Lucchesi's poetic singularity, these ranges seem to occur naturally. They are born from the expansion of idiomatic and cultural boundaries typical of the poet's attitude. Creator of plural geographies of the word. Connecting translations of distant lands in seductive scholarship. Approaches between (im)possible worlds. This beautiful book is the result of another of the poet's nomadic paths, incensed by the aromas of the East this time in the light of India. Throughout a scenario of meetings with students and important poets and intellectuals representing their respective languages of expression, Hindi, Urdu and Bangla, in addition to Portuguese and English, the poetic-translational choices of this anthology are consolidated. Such delicate nomadic movements seem inevitable in Marco Lucchesi's work. Poetic (re)births of acute encounters. Happy encounters. The translational voices of the poems in this short but so special anthology, organized by Márcia Fusaro and Sonya Gupta, are also acute. Renato Rezende in English translation, Mangalesh Dabral for Hindi, Anisur Rahman for Urdu and Anuradha Acharjee for Bangla translate and bring the poet's plural voice to distant lands. Welcome initiative! Lucchesi is a poet of the world and deserves to be read around the world.
