CAESAR by GOLDSWORTHY, ADRIAN (Paperback - 2007)
ISBN: 9780753821589
Subject: HISTORY (NON-ASIAN)
Publisher: PHOENIX UK

As Goldsworthy writes in his introduction, "in his fifty-six years, Caesar was at times many things, including a fugitive, prisoner, rising politician, army leader, legal advocate, rebel, dictator… as well as husband, father, lover and adulterer." In this landmark biography, Goldsworthy examines all of these roles and places his subject firmly within the context of Roman society in the first century B.C. Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of Caesar's life from birth through assassination, Goldsworthy covers not only Caesar's accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters during which he was high priest of an exotic cult, seducer not only of Cleopatra but also of the wives of his two main political rivals, and rebel condemned by his own country. Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar's character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate two thousand years later.

DIARIES 1969-1979: THE PYTHON YEARS by PALIN, MICHAEL (Paperback - 2007)
ISBN: 9780753821770
Subject: BIOGRAPHY
Publisher: PHOENIX UK

Michael Palin’s diaries begin when he was newly married and struggling to make a name for himself in the world of television comedy. But Monty Python was just around the corner… Enjoying an unlikely cult status early on, the Pythons then proceeded to tour in the United States and Canada, appearing at sold-out stadiums coast to coast. As their popularity grew, so Palin relates how the group went their separate ways, later to re-form for stages shows and the celebrated films The Holy Grail and Life of Brian. The birth and childhood of his children, living through the three-day week and the miners’ strike, and all the trials of a peripatetic life are also essential ingredients of these perceptive and funny diaries.
