| voyage of discovery lawhead: Ancient Syria Trevor Bryce, 2014-03-06 Syria has long been one of the most trouble-prone and politically volatile regions of the Near and Middle Eastern world. This book looks back beyond the troubles of the present to tell the 3000-year story of what happened many centuries before. Trevor Bryce reveals the peoples, cities, and kingdoms that arose, flourished, declined, and disappeared in the lands that now constitute Syria, from the time of it's earliest written records in the third millennium BC until the reign of the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the 3-4th century AD. Across the centuries, from the Bronze Age to the Rome Era, we encounter a vast array of characters and civilizations, enlivening, enriching, and besmirching the annals of Syrian history: Hittite and Assyrian Great Kings; Egyptian pharaohs; Amorite robber-barons; the biblically notorious Nebuchadnezzar; Persia's Cyrus the Great and Macedon's Alexander the Great; the rulers of the Seleucid empire; and an assortment of Rome's most distinguished and most infamous emperors. All swept across the plains of Syria at some point in her long history. All contributed, in one way or another, to Syria's special, distinctive character, as they imposed themselves upon it, fought one another within it, or pillaged their way through it. But this is not just a history of invasion and oppression. Syria had great rulers of her own, native-born Syrian luminaries, sometimes appearing as local champions who sought to liberate their lands from foreign despots, sometimes as cunning, self-seeking manipulators of squabbles between their overlords. They culminate with Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, whose life provides a fitting grand finale to the first three millennia of Syria's recorded history. The conclusion looks forward to the Muslim conquest in the 7th century AD: in many ways the opening chapter in the equally complex and often troubled history of modern Syria. |

| voyage of discovery lawhead: Das Booty Simon Pringle, 2013-05 Oxford 1978. Meet Lucio, an aristocratic prize winning poet who writes in five languages. He's a high profile university lecturer, calls Samuel Beckett a friend and claims to have a diplomatic passport issued by the Vatican. He also leads a secret double life as a drug smuggler and is about to embark on his most ambitious venture yet. One that he thinks will make him rich. His plan? To bring a boatload of hash from Morocco to Spain then overland back to the UK. The problem? Lucio is an eccentric, unlikely villain. He relies on Voodoo, Astrology and an Irish clairvoyant to conduct operations. So what could possibly go wrong? Everything. The only question is, can a gang of cack-handed amateurs actually pull this caper off? Or will they go down trying. It's a hairy, hilarious ride. And the funniest thing is ... it's all true. 'The brilliant DAS BOOTY, a great story, very funny, very engaging and beautifully written.' Malcolm Imrie 'I read DAS BOOTY with huge enjoyment. It's an extremely good read, well plotted, excellent characterisation, and cast in shapely, sprightly prose. I think it would make a great movie.' Anthony Farrell |

| voyage of discovery lawhead: A Plato Reader Plato, 2012-09-15 A Plato Reader offers eight of Plato's best-known works--Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Phaedo, Symposium, Phaedrus, and Republic--unabridged, expertly introduced and annotated, and in widely admired translations by C. D. C. Reeve, G. M. A. Grube, Alexander Nehamas, and Paul Woodruff. The collection features Socrates as its central character and a model of the examined life. Its range allows us to see him in action in very different settings and philosophical modes: from the elenctic Socrates of the Meno and the dialogues concerning his trial and death, to the erotic Socrates of the Symposium and Phaedrus, to the dialectician of the Republic. Of Reeve's translation of this final masterpiece, Lloyd P. Gerson writes, Taking full advantage of S. R. Slings' new Greek text of the Republic, Reeve has given us a translation both accurate and limpid. Loving attention to detail and deep familiarity with Plato's thought are evident on every page. Reeve's brilliant decision to cast the dialogue into direct speech produces a compelling impression of immediacy unmatched by other English translations currently available. |
