James Heneage

    James Heneage sa od raného veku fascinoval históriou, najmä vzostupmi a pádmi impérií. Po založení a predaji úspešného reťazca kníhkupectiev Ottakar's sa ponoril do hlbokého historického výskumu, ktorý vyvrcholil jeho záujmom o koniec Byzantskej ríše. Jeho diela, inšpirované touto fascináciou, skúmajú zložité dynamiky moci a úpadku, ktoré formovali civilizácie. Heneageho prístup kombinuje erudíciu s pútavým rozprávaním, čím čitateľom otvára okno do kľúčových historických období.
