*A classic brought to life by inspired narration. The pathetic but perceptive Lewis is sent on a grand tour of Europe with instructions to collect great art. But when he returns with paintings not yet recognized in America as Renaissance masterpieces, he incurs his father's wrath. By the Pulitzer Prize-winning author. "A gem.

After almost 3,000 years, this epic is still a masterpiece, the saga many have called the world's greatest war novel. The terrible, exciting, and long, drawn-out siege on the ringing plains of windy Troy remains one of the classic campaigns, and the heroism and treachery of the combatants are unmatched in song and story.

Superb story of adventure, love, honor, and betrayal, filled with dramatic power and tragic irony. This epic telling of Arthur and Guinevere, written in 1470, is the standard source for later Arthurian works. With vigorous dialogue and 15th-century colloquial liveliness. "That rarest of creations, a rendition of a classic that both reacquaints us with and enriches our appreciation for the original text."—Kliatt

Written around 70 AD, this work chronicled the extraordinary careers of Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasian and Domitian and the rest in Technicolor terms. Presenting some high and low times at the heart of the Roman Empire, the accounts give clear insights into the men and their reigns. "Through Jacobi, Suetonius's outrage over what is done to his beloved Rome comes through as both heartfelt and personal. Jacobi brings this history to vivid, dramatic life."—AudioFile
