On August 24 and 25 in the year 79 A.D., a Volcanic eruption from Mt. Vesuvius spewed fire, lava, smoke, and ash upon the city of Pompeii, burying it and many of its inhabitants. Before this catastrophe, the streets of Pompeii had been bustling with the activity of its people, busy with commerce supported by its shipping trade and its role as a link between interior Italy and the outside world. In Pompeii, based on the Time Life Books series Lost Civilizations, you'll visit this ancient, lost city as it was in its heyday and how it exists today, its ruins lying in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius.

"The Three Little Pigs" is a very funny and famous fairytale featuring anthropomorphic pigs who build three houses of different materials. The story begins with the title characters being sent out into the world by their mother, to "seek out their fortune". The first little pig builds a house of straw, but a wolf blows it down and eats him. The second pig builds a house of furze sticks, which the wolf also blows down and eats him. Each exchange between wolf and pig features ringing proverbial phrases, namely: "Little pig, little Pig, let me come in." "No, no, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin." "Then I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in." The third pig builds a house of bricks. This little pig is very smart, and the end is a big surprise for everyone.

"Njals Saga" dateres til sidste fjerdedel af 1200-tallet. Sagaen, som er den længste islændingesaga, er berømmet for sin kunstneriske komposition og sine uforglemmelige scener. Den handler blandt meget andet om det ubrydelige venskab mellem Gunnar og Njal og deres hævngerrige koner, og den viser hvordan en konflikt, der starter mellem enkelte individer til sidst ender med at udfordre hele retssystemet og bringe samfundet på randen af borgerkrig. I sidste ende bliver redningen den kristne tilgivelse. Men før det sker, har mange helte ladet livet.

The Battle of Thermopylae is without doubt the most famous battle in European ancient history. It has inspired many poems, stories, and movies, most recently Frank Miller's 300. Vastly outnumbered Greek soldiers fought with all their might and held off the Persian army for seven days, before the rear-guard was annihilated in one of history's most famous last stands. This battle is a perfect example of tactical optimization and a stunning demonstration of the advantages of training and equipment to maximize an army's potential.

Кто из нас в детстве не любил сказок? В суете современной жизни мы забываем об этом, а если вспомнить, с каким упоением мы слушали родителей, читающих нам сказку на ночь, с каким трепетом брали в руки первую книгу? Мы с замиранием сердца ждали от сказок чудес и волшебства, и получали их сполна.

По-разному приходят в нашу жизнь сказки. Но все же, для большинства из нас, знакомство со сказкой неразрывно связано с детством и мамой, читающей нам на ночь, при приглушенном свете ночника.

El libro es identificado por un sobrescrito como la obra del profeta del siglo VIII a. C. Isaías ben Amoz, pero hay amplia evidencia de que gran parte de este fue compuesto durante la cautividad de Babilonia y después.
