Hardback. Condition: New. An enthralling exploration of the most audacious and underhanded deceptions in the history of mankind, from sacred relics to financial schemes to fake art, music, and identities.World history is littered with tall tales and those who have fallen for them. Ian Tattersall, a curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, and Peter Névraumont, an award-winning book producer, have teamed up to create this anti-history of the world, in which Michelangelo fakes a cupid; the holy foreskin is venerated; arctic explorers search for an entrance into a hollow Earth; a woman is elected Pope; and people can survive on only air and sunshine. Told chronologically, HOAX begins with the first documented announcement of the end of the world from 365 AD and winds its way through controversial tales such as the Loch Ness Monster and the Shroud of Turin, past proven fakes such as the Thomas Jefferson's ancient wine and the Davenport Tablets built by a lost race, and explores bald-faced lies in the art world, journalism, and archeology.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Max Navaero is a ten-year-old boy who goes to his dad's first race meeting and manages to take part in the racing himself. On the way, he meets and befriends many of the racing drivers, including Lord Oftenbroke, Grayson Smidt, Crazy Pete, Parky Ranger and the nasty Baron von Cheetah. It is all very realistically portrayed, accurately describing various characters who support the race series, such as Padrick Dragon, Steve the Spook, Pater Goblin, Rock Bernie (he's a Rock Troll) and each and every Andy McMillimig. Each chapter is a stand-alone story covering an entire race meeting for the Caterham Classics. Some parts of the stories actually happened in real life and all the characters, apart from Baron von Cheetah, are based on real people. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Romulus and Remus are the mythical founders of ancient Rome and this novel tells the story of their youth. It begins with describing how their grandfather King Numitor, ruler of Alba Longa, was overthrown by his brother Amulius. It subsequently details how Numitor survived for nearly two decades, controlling the worst of his brother's excesses in the process. Finally, it explains how the twins recovered his throne. The story tells of how the twins were conceived. It tells of how their mother, after being forced into becoming a Vestal Virgin, was raped by Mars, God of War, entombed as punishment for the crime of being raped and was then deified through her love for one of the minor local gods. It tells of how the twins were born and condemned to death, survived to grow into young men and gained a following that would ultimately save their city from its despotic king.The story tells of how Jupiter ruled the heavens, forcing history along towards his planned finale. The GodsA significant aspect of the ancestors of the ancient Romans was their belief system and so the gods play a large role. Told is the reasoning of how they originated, why and how they Latinised themselves from their Greek origins and why they require worship. They are depicted as self-centred egotistical beings who think little of the mortals. While their morals are almost non-existent, they are surprisingly likable characters. Historical AccuracyThree of the many puzzling questions of the ancient mythology, answered by this novel are: Why would a wolf suckle twin boys, aided by a woodpecker?Why did the deposing king Amulius allow his brother to not only stay alive, but autonomously run a region of the kingdom?How did the twins gain the respect of a large body of people at such a young age?Also incorporated are descriptions of such historical concepts as haruspicy, slavery, the Argei and the Tria Nomia. SourcesWherever possible, the ancient sages were used. There were often conflicting myths, such as the conception and upbringing of Romulus and Remus; in this example, both conflicting offerings were used in such a way that empowered femininity and strengthened the story. Sources used included: Titus Livius (Livy)Dionysius of HalicarnassusHeisodApollodorusVirgilAlso invaluable was The Oxford Classical Dictionary, by Hornblower and Spawforth.
