'Terry Jones' Barbarians' takes a completely fresh approach to Roman history. This is the story of the Roman Empire as seen by the Britons, Gauls, Germans, Hellenes, Persians, and Africans. In place of the propaganda pushed on us by the Romans, we'll see these people as they really were. The Vandals didn't vandalize - the Romans did. The Goths didn't sack Rome - the Romans did. Traversing the landscape of the Roman Empire, Terry Jones brings wit, irreverence, and the very latest scholarship to transform a history that seemed well past its sell-by date. This original and fascinating study does away with the propaganda and opens our eyes to who REALLY established the civilized world.Delving deep into history, Terry Jones and Alan Ereira uncover the impressive cultural and technological achievements of the Celts, Goths, Persians and Vandals.If you thought that highly developed religious philosophy and legal systems based on communal respect were Roman inventions,then think again.Far from civilizing the societies they conquered,the Romans often destroyed much of what they found. In this absorbing book,Terry and Alan travel through 700 years of history on three continents,bringing wit, irreverance, passion and the very latest scholarship to transform our view of the legacy of the Roman Empire and the creation of the modern world. Terry Jones is best-known as a member of Monty Python. He has also written four books on Medieval England and is the author of several children's books. Alan Ereira has worked as an award-winning producer and writer of history programs on radio and television for over 40 years, and has collaborated with Terry for ten years on a number of historical films. His previous books include 'THe People's England', 'The Invergordon Mutiny', 'The Heart of the World', and (with Terry Jones) 'Crusades' and Terry Jones' Medieval Lives.

Used; Very Good. 45-E-01 Wordsworth Press, Paperback, 2009, May have light shelf wear. Book Condition:Very Good<br />, This title includes an introduction by A. M. de Medeiros, University of Kent at Canterbury. A year after the publication of "The Three Musketeers", Alexandre Dumas produced a sequel worthy in every respect of the original. In "Twenty Years After" the much beloved D'Artaganan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis reunite to fight the forces of evil. In the original novel they defeated Milady, a formidable foe; now they need to face her vengeful son Mordaunt, as well as countering the machinations of the sinister Cardinal Mazarin. Their adventures also take them to England, where Cromwell is about to topple Charles I. Meanwhile, they must overcome the obstacles which the passing of time has placed between them. Rediscovering strength in unity, they fight for Queen and country. "The Musketeer" novels were a huge success in Dumas' own lifetime, and have lost none of their original appeal. Translated into many languages and adapted for cinema and television, they have helped to make Dumas arguably the most successful exporter of French culture to the wider world. . 2009.
