The gathering storm: Shakespeare's English and Roman history plays : a Marxist analysis

Siegel, Paul N.

Literature & Fiction

The original landmark story of the gladiator Spartacus, a masterpiece of vivid storytelling full of adventure, suspense, cruelty, and romantic intrigueRome, 73 BC. Kleon, a Greek slave, wakes early, cuts his master's throat, and flees south by a back road, clutching a copy of Plato's Republic. His destination is Capua, where he hopes to join the burgeoning rebel army of Spartacus, an escaped gladiator. So begins the definitive telling of one of the most famous stories in history. Spartacus and his companions, having defeated every Roman force sent against them, are plundering the countryside and gathering to their ranks thousands of fugitives, brigands, and itinerants. They seek to create a new world, one where men are not owner and owned. But they must first escape Italy, and the vengeful Roman legions already marshalling against them. Brutal and uncompromising in its depiction of the ancient world, Spartacus masterfully evokes the violence, hope, and despair of the war that shook Rome to its very foundations.

Shelley's Revolutionary Year

Foot, Paul

Shelley, Percy

<p>In his memoir Year One of the Russian Revolution, the great chronicler of that year, Victor Serge, wrote that the eye\-witness dispatches sent from the Eastern Front in 1918 and 1919, by the Bolshevik journalist Larissa Reisner, were a \x27psychological document and historical testimony of the first importance\x27. Written in a unique style, which combines poetic flourishes with first\-rate reportage, Reisner\x27s first\-hand accounts from the frontline were first published in the journal of the Petersburg Soviet, Izvestia. Her reports include vivid descriptions of the disastrous retreat from Volga naval base at Kazan \x1a later described by Trotsky as marking the low point of the revolution \x1a and then the miraculous turnaround which emerged after the arrival of Trotsky\x27s famous armoured train and the heroic defence of the hitherto unknown outpost of Sviyazhsk. In this crucible, the beginnings of what would become the Red Army and Red Navy were forged. In addition to a new translation of Larissa Reisner\x27s writings from this period, this book includes a chapter by Trotsky from his autobiography, My Life \- entitled A Month in Sviyazhsk \- plus brief biographies of leading participants, most of whom did not survive the Stalin era and were subsequently written out of history.</p>
