The Landmark Arrian
During twelve years of continuous campaigns, Alexander conquered an empire that stretched from the shores of the Adriatic to the edge of modern India. Arrian's history of those conquests, the most reliable and detailed account to emerge from the ancient world, is a work that will fascinate readers interested in classical studies, the history of warfare, and the origins of East-West tensions that still simmer today in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. Drawing on Ptolemy's memoirs and other sources that have not survived antiquity, Arrian's portrait of Alexander is unmatched for its accuracy and immediacy. Having served as a high Roman official with command of an army, Arrian had a unique perspective on Alexander, imbued with a level of understanding that only firsthand military experience can provide.In the richly illustrated and annotated style of the Landmark series, The Campaigns of Alexander, which features an engaging and eloquent new translation by Pamela Mensch, brings together some

Din tur, Adrian
Næsten hver dag går 10-årige Adrian i skole med ondt i maven af bekymring. Der føler han sig ensom og anderledes. Og i klasseværelset, når læreren beder Adrian om at læse højt for de andre børn, føles det, som om tiden går i stå.For at holde det hele ud drømmer Adrian sig langt væk. I fantasien optræder han i cirkus og kan klare alle mulige akrobatiske luftnumre. Publikum klapper!Men det er først, da Adrian møder den kæmpestore ulvehund Hejdi, at det hele rigtigt bliver anderledes. En dag er hun der bare og følger efter ham som en skygge på vej hjem efter endnu en hård skoledag. Din tur, Adrian er en stærk billedfortælling på 64 sider om at være udsat og kæmpe med løbske stavelser og flyvske bogstaver. Og om forventninger, som er svære at leve op til. Men det er også en skildring af fantasiens kraft til at forandre og af nært venskab.Bogen om Adrian er blevet til i tæt samarbejde mellem forfatteren Helena Öberg og illustratoren Kristin Lidström.
