The 19th century witnessed some of the most far-reaching social and political changes in English history. In volume 4, we trace the arc of England's march to worldwide imperial dominance along with the nation's reckoning with her poorest citizens. It is a story of contrast and courage. The contrast is between those with titles, money, and power...and those lacking any or all of these.

One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the "Histories" describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.

Il quarto audiolibro tratta del periodo dalla sottomissione di Cartagine a quella della Grecia; tratta inoltre del cambiamento della cultura romana nell'economia, nella letteratura e nella cultura in genere dovuto all'ellenizzazione.

In Volume 4, Hume closes his account of ‘England Under the House of Tudor' begun in Volume 3, and devotes it entirely to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It was not really expected that she would survive to accede to the monarchy; and it was certainly unexpected that she would rule for so long (1558-1603) while steadfastly declining to take a husband. All in all, her reign was a remarkable achievement. Elizabeth had so much to contend with over the years. From the start, she had to oversee the reinstatement of the Protestant religion after the tumultuous reign of her sister, Mary.

Le rouge est en Occident la première couleur que l'homme a maîtrisée, aussi bien en peinture qu'en teinture. C'est probablement pourquoi elle est longtemps restée la couleur « par excellence », la plus riche du point de vue matériel, social, artistique, onirique et symbolique. Admiré des Grecs et des Romains, le rouge est dans l'Antiquité symbole de puissance, de richesse et de majesté. Au Moyen Âge, il prend une forte dimension religieuse, évoquant aussi bien le sang du Christ que les flammes de l'enfer.

Ma servono anche a dare un senso alla vita umana, a fornire risposte alle domande che ci facciamo ancora oggi: da dove viene l'Umanità? Perché siamo destinati a morire?

They’re widely known as raiders, pirates, invaders, and savages, but despite their fearsome reputation (or perhaps because of it), Vikings continue to fascinate us today. And it’s not hard to see why. They were brave, rebellious, and fierce fighters—plus, based on Hollywood’s portrayals, they were quite good-looking. While media highlights their violence and toughness, there’s more to the Viking culture than just conquering lands. The Vikings were not just warriors but also traders, explorers, and lawmakers....
