Die dramatische Lebensgeschichte des ersten russischen Zaren Iwan IV. (1530-84).

Exploring the duality of Adolf Hitler's persona, Robert Payne reveals a man of considerable charm and ambition who manipulated his way to power. Through his writing of Mein Kampf during imprisonment and his ruthless political maneuvers, Hitler transformed from a failed leader into the Chancellor of Germany. The biography dissects his moral decay, marked by personal tragedies and cold-blooded decisions, culminating in his role in World War II and the Holocaust. Payne's extensive background in biography lends depth to this compelling account of a profoundly corrupt figure.

Robert Payne guides readers through the powerfully erotic underworld of L'Homme blesse, giving the cinematic milestone the critical attention it deserves.

A spelendid panorama of the Roman world, its history, culture and people. In its sheer scope, the Roman epoch is unsurpassed in history. What has endured to our own time is its great legacy to Western civilization, in law, language, architecture and the art of government, and of course the fascination of its story. Ancient Rome presents the history and heritage of that remarkable era. In this richly illustrated volume, the reader can enjoy an all-round introduction to the politics, people, culture and everyday life of the world ruled by Rome. Unlike most general histories of the subject, it enables the reader to know the Romans not only from reading about them, but by hearing directly from them in their own words, through the works of orators, philosophers, historians, poets, playwrights and satirists.
