Magna Carta

Magna Carta

Dan Jones

Apollo

nidottu
A beautifully produced account of the signing, impact and legacy of Magna Carta, a document that became one of the most influential statements in the history of democracy, as part of the stunning landmark library series. On a summer's day in 1215 a beleaguered English monarch met a group of disgruntled barons in a meadow by the river Thames named Runnymede. Beset by foreign crisis and domestic rebellion, King John was fast running out of options. On 15 June he reluctantly agreed to fix his regal seal to a document that would change the world. A milestone in the development of constitutional politics and the rule of law, the 'Great Charter' established an Englishman's right to Habeas Corpus and set limits to the exercise of royal power. For the first time a group of subjects had forced an English king to agree to a document that limited his powers by law and protected their rights. Dan Jones's elegant and authoritative narrative of the making and legacy of Magna Carta is amplified by profiles of the barons who secured it and a full text of the charter in both Latin and English.

A new, beautifully illustrated edition of Realm Divided, Dan Jones's portrait of Plantagenet England in the reign of King John. 1215 was not just the year of Magna Carta and King John's war with his barons, but a year of crusading and church reform, of foreign wars and dramatic sieges, of trade and treachery; a year in which England was invaded by a French army and London was stormed by angry barons; and the supposedly impregnable castle at Rochester was brought down with burning pig fat.But this was also a year in which life, for most people, just went on. In the Reign of King John thus opens a window onto everyday life in thirteenth-century England: home and church, love and marriage, education and agriculture, outlawry and hunting, food and clothing. It offers a vivid and authoritative portrait – from royal court to peasant wedding – of medieval life in the round, as well as an exhilarating and revelatory exploration of the big themes of politics, warfare, religion, feudalism and the law during a transformative year in English history.Praise for Dan Jones: 'Commanding and piercingly insightful... Packed with moments that make you stop in your tracks' Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year'When it comes to rip-roaring medieval narratives, Jones has few peers' Sunday Times'Jones has a terrific eye for humanising stories and the telling detail... It is the snapshots of life as it was lived that make this book so engaging' Daily Telegraph'Jones is to be congratulated for telling his story with panache and originality. He deserves to be widely read' BBC History Magazine'Jones expertly guides us through this turbulent period and sheds fascinating light on life in Plantagenet England' Irish Times'Dan Jones is certainly an entertainer, but also a fine historian who knows how to render scholarship into accessible prose' The Times

Dogs Who Changed the World is a beautifully illustrated, heart-warming book that celebrates all dogs and proves that every single one of them is absolute magic. Dogs have trotted at our collective side for tens of thousands of years, bound up in the story of humanity. They have inspired great works of art, caught spies, reconnected lost lovers, dragged the drowning to safety... or have just haplessly and happily ruined everything.These 50 tales acknowledge our unbreakable relationship with the dog, the ?rst-ever domesticated animal, and their dedication, heroism and unending sense of fun. Along the way we'll meet big-boned Barry, the hefty St Bernard credited with saving the lives of more than 40 lost souls in the Swiss Alps in the 1800s. We'll discover Sigmund Freud's calm-inducing chow chow, Jo?, who would sit in on his psychotherapy sessions (and never spilled a secret), and feel the frustration of Sir Isaac Newton, whose little terror Diamond apparently knocked over a candle and destroyed the physicist's most important manuscripts.

For those who enjoyed Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, Sarah Perry's The Essex Serpent and Chris Carter's The X-Files, Dan Jones has distilled a monastic detective adventure that goes back to the late medieval period in which he specialises. We are in Northern Italy in 1367, in the company of the esteemed scholar and Holy Inquisitor Brother Jacobus of Vienna, who has made a habit of intervening in inquisitorial trials, using reason to test religious superstition and speculation. Sent to examine a new case, Jacobus applies the sound principles of rigorous research and philosophical logic, and manages to acquit an innocent woman tried for sorcery, much to the irritation of the cardinals at the Papal Palace in Avignon, who thereby feel defied. When Jacobus hears of a mysterious spate of infant disappearances in a remote community in Northern England, his intellectual curiosity is again piqued and he takes off to solve the mystery, once again in defiance of the cardinals. Arriving in England, he finds a land that's in a state of dissarray, beset by Scottish raiders, litigious noblemen, eccentric Franciscan friars- and talk of demons in the woods. All the while, spectres of violence, both ancient and new, lurk behind every stone and tree. Jacobus is determined to discover the cause of the disappearances, but is waylaid by something monstrous in the forest that neither his science nor his faith can explain. As he struggles to solve this very different puzzle from the one that brought him to England, his deceptions catch up with him, and he faces a terrible crisis that will either destroy his philosophical beliefs or shatter his soul.

"Not only an engrossing read about the distant past, both informative and entertaining, but also a profoundly thought-provoking view of our not-really-so-'new' present . . . All medieval history is here, beautifully narrated."--Wall Street Journal "A lively history . . . Jones] has managed to touch every major topic. As each piece of the puzzle is placed into position, the modern world gradually comes into view . . . Powers and Thrones provides the reader with a framework for understanding a complicated subject, and it tells the story of an essential era of world history with skill and style."--The New York TimesThe New York Times bestselling author returns with an epic history of the medieval world--a rich and complicated reappraisal of an era whose legacy and lessons we are still living with today. When the once-mighty city of Rome was sacked by barbarians in 410 and lay in ruins, it signaled the end of an era--and the beginning of a thousand years of profound transformation. In a gripping narrative bursting with big names--from St Augustine and Attila the Hun to the Prophet Muhammad and Eleanor of Aquitaine--Dan Jones charges through the history of the Middle Ages. Powers and Thrones takes readers on a journey through an emerging Europe, the great capitals of late Antiquity, as well as the influential cities of the Islamic West, and culminates in the first European voyages to the Americas. The medieval world was forged by the big forces that still occupy us today: climate change, pandemic disease, mass migration, and technological revolutions. This was the time when the great European nationalities were formed; when the basic Western systems of law and governance were codified; when the Christian Churches matured as both powerful institutions and the regulators of Western public morality; and when art, architecture, philosophical inquiry and scientific invention went through periods of massive, revolutionary change. The West was rebuilt on the ruins of an empire and emerged from a state of crisis and collapse to dominate the world. Every sphere of human life and activity was transformed in the thousand years covered by Powers and Thrones. As we face a critical turning point in our own millennium, Dan Jones shows that how we got here matters more than ever.

Pervye koroli dinastii Plantagenetov unasledovali ot svoikh predkov-normannov zalitoe krovju tsarstvo i prevratili ego v imperiju, prostiravshujusja ot Shotlandii do Palestiny.
