Captain Arthur Hastings, invalided in the Great War, is recuperating as a guest of John Cavendish at Styles Court, the "country-place" of John's autocratic old aunt, Emily Inglethorpe - she of a sizeable fortune, and so recently remarried to a man 20 years her junior. When Emily's sudden heart attack is found to be attributable to strychnine, Hastings recruits an old friend, now retired, to aid in the local investigation. With impeccable timing, Hercule Poirot, the famous Belgian detective, makes his dramatic entrance into the pages of crime literature.

A classic of Japanese history, this audiobook is the preeminent work on the history of Japan. Newly revised and updated, A History of Japan is a single-volume complete history of the nation of Japan. Starting in ancient Japan during its early pre-history period, A History of Japan covers every important aspect of history and culture through feudal Japan to the post-Cold War period and collapse of the bubble economy in the early 1990s. Recent findings shed additional light on the origins of Japanese civilization and the birth of Japanese culture.

What is our species' greatest invention? Medicine, computers, space travel? Not even close. The innovation that underlies each of our past achievements and those we still aspire to is language. Language is the ultimate invention of Homo sapiens - one that has allowed us to change the physical and social world around us in every conceivable way, and an invention that has fundamentally changed us, as well.

Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods - that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors.

Es difícil conocer íntimamente a los pueblos del mar porque los registros sobre ellos no son muy completos. Pero nos hemos propuesto explorar las muchas preguntas que la gente se hace sobre esta misteriosa civilización. ¿Quiénes eran? ¿De dónde procedían? ¿Hacían algo más que asaltar? ¿Qué impacto tuvieron en la sociedad y el comercio? ¿Le sorprendería saber que este misterioso pueblo era algo más que una banda de piratas?

A pivotal crossroads of trade and culture, ancient Syria was an exhilarating and revolutionary place. Syria has always been a volatile land rocked by forces competing for power. Yet, it gave birth to the world’s first library and the first purely alphabetic writing system. An exciting epicenter of early Christianity flourished in Antioch and Damascus.

This book delves into the Iron Age, exploring its origins, its rapid dissemination, and the profound transformations it brought to human societies. This is the story of how iron reshaped the ancient world.

La Grecia che abbiamo imparato a conoscere e ad amare dall’epica, dalla tragedia, dalla storia è ricchissima di straordinarie figure di giovani uomini e giovani donne. Achille è l’eroe che a una vita lunga e incolore preferì la brevità di un’esistenza spezzata ma piena di gloria. Gli fa da contraltare il mite Telemaco: il figlio obbediente che vive nell’ombra di un padre mai conosciuto. E c’è Antigone, la vergine che, in un fragoroso assolo, osa levare la sua voce di dissenso. E Oreste, il figlio che uccide la madre per dare giustizia al padre. Fin qui il mito.

Roma İmparatoru Konstantin'in kurduğu Yeni Roma (İstanbul), Anadolu'nun dini ve kültürel dönüşümünde önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Anadolu bundan böyle 'Boğaz'ın kıyısındaki bu kentin bir hinterlandı haline gelecektir. II. Teodosius'un iki katı büyüttüğü; Jüstinyen'in, görkemli kiliseler, saraylar ve bir hipodrom inşa ettirdiği İstanbul, zamanın en büyük, en gösterişli, en cazip kenti, "Kentlerin Kraliçesi" haline gelir; Lombarlar, Avarlar, Slavlar ve Sasanilerin saldırılarına karşı koyar.

M.Ö. 12’nci yüzyılın başlarından sonra gerçekleşen Ege göçleri nedeniyle Anadolu yüzünü politika ve kültür alanlarında Batı’ya çevirir ve Roma Devrinin sonuna kadar Batı dünyasının atmosferi içinde yaşar. Herodot Batı Anadolu’da, Lidya’da oturan Etrüsklerin bir kıtlık felâketi nedeniyle İtalya’ya göç ettiklerini anlatır. Gene Herodot’un anlattığı son Lidya kralı Krezüs’ün hazineleri masalı, muhtemelen Lidyalıların madeni sikkeleri icat etmekle, dünya tarihine yaptıkları katkıdan kaynaklanmaktadır.

11'inci13'üncü yüzyıl Gürcü tarih yazarları, anlattıkları olayların görgü tanığı veya katılımcısı olmuşlardır. "Kurucu David'in Tarihi" adlı eserin yazarı, Malazgirt savaşından sonra, 1073 yılında Bizans'la Selçuklular arasında gerçekleştirilmiş olan barış anlaşmasının özellikle, Gürcistan için önem taşıdığını, Selçukluların komşuluğu ve aralıksız saldırıları sonucunda Anadolu'daki devletlerin güçten düşmesinden dolayı Gürcistan'ın hiçbir yerden yardım bekleyemediğini bildirir.

Bugünkü Batı medeniyeti kökenlerini büyük ölçüde Anadolu topraklarında M.Ö. 1200’den sonra gerçekleşen kültür gelişmelerine borçlu olduğuna göre, kültür mirasımızın Akdeniz ve Ege kökenleri, aslında Avrupa ile paylaştığımız ortak bir mirası ifade ediyor. Son zamanlarda, Avrupa’nın çeşitli ülkelerinde, halkın kökenlerini araştırma arzusu ve merakı yaygın hale gelmiştir. Batılı insanların “Biz nereden geldik? Aslımız nedir?” sorularına cevap arayış gayretleri içinde karşılarına çıkan destan ve efsaneler arasında bilimsel çalışmalarla doğrulanmasını bekledikleri öykülerin sayısı giderek artıyor.

Some 250 years after its first publication, Gibbon's Decline and Fall is still regarded as one of the greatest histories in Western literature. He reports on more than 1,000 years of an empire which extended from the most northern and western parts of Europe to deep into Asia and Africa and covers not only events but also the cultural and religious developments that effected change during that time.

With intelligence and wit, author Jonathan Clements blends documentary and storytelling styles to connect the past, present, and future of Japan, and in broad yet detailed strokes reveals a country of paradoxes: a modern nation steeped in ancient traditions; a democracy with an emperor as head of state; a famously safe society built on 108 volcanoes resting on the world's most active earthquake zone; a fast-paced urban and technologically advanced country whose land consists predominantly of mountains and forests.

In this, the first prose history in European civilization, Herodotus describes the growth of the Persian Empire with force, authority, and style. Perhaps most famously, the book tells the heroic tale of the Greeks' resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, king of Persia. Here are not only the great battles - Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis - but also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of epic destiny at work.

A groundbreaking dive into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization, and the real-life quest for the Holy Grail that could shake the Church to its foundations.

The ancient world has cast a long shadow, influencing our customs and religious beliefs, our laws, and the form of our governments. It has taught us when and how we make war or pursue peace. It has shaped the buildings we live and work in and the art we hang on our walls. It has given us the calendar that organizes our year and has left its mark on the games we play.
