New Worlds, Lost Worlds: The Rule of the Tudors, 1485-1603(I
In many respects, the 16th is surely the most appealing ofEnglish centuries--an age of extraordinary vitality, when theintolerance that wrecked France was suppressed (almost everywherebut in Ireland) by pragmatic Elizabethan moderation. SusanBrigden's new work is the fifth entry in the nine-volume PenguinHistory of Britain, a series that features a number of leadinglights (Kishlansky, Colley, Cannadine, etc.), and it provides aspirited introduction to this fertile period. Political andreligious themes predominate, as befits a student of the late SirGeoffrey Elton, but the author avoids the brilliant turgidity ofher former teacher. Operating within the series' standardconceptual framework (dynastic change shaping the structure, rightup until the fall of Mrs. Thatcher), Brigden writes with mature andengaging sobriety. She is fully conscious of the oppressivepotential of English government, "whose superiority was "evidentonly to the English," and gives substantial attention to thedisasters that befell the Irish

Travels of Marco Polo 马可波罗游记 9781853264733
作者简介 Marco Polo (1254-1329) has achieved an almost archetypal status as a traveller, and his Travels is one of the first great travel books of Western literature, outside the ancient world. The Travels recounts Polo's journey to the eastern court of Kublai Khan, the chieftain of the Mongol empire which covered the Asian continent, but which was almost unknown to Polo's contemporaries. Encompassing a twenty-four year period from 1721, Polo's account details his travels in the service of the empire, from Beijing to northern India and ends with the remarkable story of Polo's return voyage from the Chinese port of Amoy to the Persian Gulf. Alternately factual and fantastic, Polo's prose at once reveals the medieval imagination's limits, and captures the wonder of subsequent travel writers when faced with the unfamiliar, the exotic or the unknown.

South: The Endurance Expedition(ISBN=9780451198808)
The Endurance Expedition 1914-1916. Sir Ernest Shackleton isconsidered by some authors as the greatest of all Antarcticexplorers. Quite all his live was lived with the polar ice as agoal and even after his death, the destiny wanted him to be buriedin the whaler s cemetery on South Georgia. The story of theEndurance expedition is as well an epic Antarctic adventure neverrivaled by any other record of polar exploration during the socalled Heroic Age. The Endurance was trapped in the pack ice forten months until it was swallowed by the sea. The account of therescue is extraordinary. This book is a facsimile from the 1919edition. We included photographs taken by Frank Hurley, perhaps thephotographer that left the most important work about an Antarcticexpedition of all time. --This text refers to an alternatePaperback edition.

Brilliantly argued." -- Daily Mail "Insight into how a writer turned academia into art, how deeplyfriendship supports and wounds us, and how the death anddisillusionment that characterized World War I inspired Tolkien'slush saga." - Detroit Free Press “To be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experiencethan in 1939 . . . by 1918 all but one of my close friends weredead.” So J.R.R.
