Cet auteur explore les complexités de l'expérience humaine avec un style distinctif, plaçant souvent ses récits dans le contexte mondial de ses vastes voyages. Ses œuvres abordent des thèmes tels que la guerre, les rencontres interculturelles et les profondes connexions humaines qui transcendent les divisions géographiques et culturelles. Par un langage méticuleux et des personnages perspicaces, il offre aux lecteurs des réflexions sur la nature du conflit et le pouvoir de l'art et de la poésie. Sa contribution littéraire réside dans une capacité unique à faire le pont entre les récits personnels et les interrogations historiques et philosophiques plus larges.

A spelendid panorama of the Roman world, its history, culture and people. In its sheer scope, the Roman epoch is unsurpassed in history. What has endured to our own time is its great legacy to Western civilization, in law, language, architecture and the art of government, and of course the fascination of its story. Ancient Rome presents the history and heritage of that remarkable era. In this richly illustrated volume, the reader can enjoy an all-round introduction to the politics, people, culture and everyday life of the world ruled by Rome. Unlike most general histories of the subject, it enables the reader to know the Romans not only from reading about them, but by hearing directly from them in their own words, through the works of orators, philosophers, historians, poets, playwrights and satirists.

Zweihundert Jahre Kampf um das heilige Grab 1096-1270. 1988 637 S.
Für die Menschen des mittelalterlichen Abendlandes war Jerusalem die Stadt der Träume. Zu Hunderttausenden verließen sie zwischen 1096 und 1270 n. Chr. Heimat und Familie,um den Muslims das Land zu entreißen, wo ihr Erlöser gelebt hatte. Es war eine Reise in fremde Welten. Unter unsäglichen Mühen kämpften sie sich von Schlachtfeld zu Schlachtfeld bis zum Heiligen Land durch und wüteten dort, im Namen des Kreuzes, oft wie Zerstörer. Der Historiker Robert Payne erzählt die Geschichte dieser Glaubenskriege auf unnachahmliche Weise. Es ist eine dramatische Geschichte, die die Welt verändert hat.
