It was a monumental and decisive encounter of breathtaking intensity which became a turning point, not only on the Eastern Front, but in the Second World War as a whole. Using the very latest available archival material including the testimonies of veterans and providing strategic perspective alongside personal stories of front line fighting, Lloyd Clark has written a lucid, enthralling and heart-stopping account of this incredible battle.

The seven Cleopatras were the powerhouses of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the Macedonian family who ruled Egypt after Alexander the Great.

Persians - Professor Lloyd Llewellyn Jones - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

THE PERSIANS is a definitive new history of the Persian Empire, the world''s first superpower. The Great Kings of Persia ruled over the largest Empire of antiquity, stretching from Libya to the Steppes of Asia, and from Ethiopia to Pakistan. At the heart of the Empire was the fabled palace-city of Persepolis where the Achaemenid monarchs held court in unparalleled grandeur. From here, Cyrus the Great, Darius, Xerxes, and their heirs passed laws, raised armies, and governed their multicultural Empire of enormous diversity.The Achaemenids, however, were one of the great dysfunctional families of history. Brothers fought brothers for power, wives and concubines plotted to promote their sons to the throne, and eunuchs and courtiers vied for influence and prestige.Our understanding of the Persian Empire has traditionally come from the histories of Greek writers such as Herodotus - and as such, over many centuries, our perspective has been skewed by ancient political and cultural agendas. Professor Llewellyn-Jones, however, calls upon original Achaemenid sources, including inscriptions, art, and recent archaeological discoveries in Iran, to create an authentic ''Persian Version'' of this remarkable first great empire of antiquity - the Age of the Great Kings.

As he struggles to understand the demon and find a way to kill it, his own mind begins to unravel until he fears he may never regain control.

Word of mouth is slowly turning it into a passionately recommended cult hit. A book you give a friend in trouble.'' - Caitlin Moran ''Hilarious . . . heartbreaking.'' - The Observer ''A layer cake of truth, pain and wisdom iced with charm. I loved it.'' - Sue PerkinsFrom award-winning comedian and writer Katy Wix comes Delicacy - a different kind of memoir from an astonishing new voice. Twenty-one snapshots of a life - some staccato, raw and shocking, some expansive, meditative, and profound, underpinned with moments of startling humour that shatter the darkness - all beginning with a single memory. A memory of cake. The sickly royal icing marked the moment Katy found her voice. The madeira cake was the sun her group therapy sessions orbited. The ''missing cake'' from a lost holiday has never let go. The Bara brith eaten in hospital after a life-altering car crash was as tough as the metal that hit her. The supermarket rock cake was where she ''practised wanting''. Shocking, raw, darkly funny and deeply humane, Katy Wix''s exploration of trauma, grief, addiction, love, loss, memory and hope is truly unforgettable. ''Painfully raw and incredibly funny'' - Simon Amstell ''A book that offers many pleasures . . . hectically funny, eloquently angry.'' - TLS ''Katy sees the world like no one else and deciphers it with extraordinary beauty. Delicacy took my breath away'' - Lolly Adefope ''Heartbreaking, ridiculously clever and laugh out loud funny. One of the best books on trauma I''ve ever read'' - Scarlett Curtis ''Fabulous story-telling and completely delicious writing'' - Cariad Lloyd, host of Griefcast ''Katy is a stunning writer, seamlessly moving between bitingly funny moments and moments that make you violently, cathartically sob at 2am. An absolute belter of a book that stays with you'' - Roisin Conaty ''Brilliantly original, funny and insightful. Dry and comic, but also very moving. I absolutely loved Delicacy '' - Katy Brand '' Gentle, heartbreaking, laugh out loud funny and poetically told - an intimate memoir that stays with you'' - Rose Matafeo ''A stunning book in which darkness and light, tragedy and humour, pain and hope are all masterfully, affectingly balanced'' - Liam Williams ''Deeply comforting in how relatable it is, hilarious, and moving. I felt like this book was my best friend as soon as I started reading it'' - Mae Martin ''Brimming with graceful, charming writing - this book perfectly encapsulates so many moments we face as girls and women and I only wish I''d read it sooner'' - Kiri Pritchard-McLean ''Honest, raw, profound, deeply moving and funny'' - Bridget Christie
