In the year 1292, no one would have said that just a few years earlier, famine and unrest had ravaged the Křivoklát Castle area. It was the daughter of a metallurgist named Hana who saved Křivoklátsko, the Forest of Crooked Logs, from Brandenburg mercenaries at that time. However, the past left scars on her, forcing her into hiding. Everything changes when she encounters a mysterious stranger who initiates her into ancient writings. As Hana hears the words from the De rerum natura manuscript, she remembers her father's tale of a celestial blacksmith who forges elements of the world within distant stars. Her understanding of nature brings her back to her lost childhood and painful memories that will help her confront the visions of phantoms, cold, and unrest that are destined to return in the future. The story unfolds ten years after the original legend of the Forest and is supplemented by additional tales and well-known legends from the Bronze Age, through Celtic settlements, until the present day. You will learn about the changes in the landscape and climate over millennia, our own history, and scientific knowledge from the last years regarding the origin and development of forests, the universe, and life.
The Roman historian Velleius Paterculus lived during the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, serving as a military tribune and later as a cavalry officer and legatus in Germany and Pannonia. Written in a highly rhetorical style, his ‘Compendium of Roman History’ is a summary of Roman history from the mythical fall of Troy to AD 29. As Paterculus approaches his own times, he becomes much fuller in his treatment of history, especially dealing with the years between the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BC and Augustus in 14. He is generally trustworthy in his statements of individual facts, serving as a courtly annalist and providing a unique window into this important time of Roman history. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Paterculus’ complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
