Description

AugustusIn zijn derde grote roman, winnaar van de National Book Award, vertelt John Williams het verhaal van de stichter van het Romeinse rijk, wiens grootsheid even legendarisch was als zijn grenzeloze ambitie: Augustus. Vanaf de moord op zijn oom Julius Caesar tot aan de laatste dagen van het keizerrijk volgen we Augustus op zijn tocht over het glibberige pad van de macht: niemand is te vertrouwen, de senaat wordt beheerst door eigenbelang en allianties

In zijn derde grote roman, winnaar van de National Book Award, vertelt John Williams het verhaal van de stichter van het Romeinse rijk, wiens grootsheid even legendarisch was als zijn grenzeloze ambitie: Augustus. Vanaf de moord op zijn oom Julius Caesar tot aan de laatste dagen van het keizerrijk volgen we Augustus op zijn tocht over het glibberige pad van de macht: niemand is te vertrouwen, de senaat wordt beheerst door eigenbelang en allianties zijn even snel gevormd als gebroken.

Augustus is een meerstemmige roman: via de gefingeerde brieven, dagboekaantekeningen, memoires en reisverslagen van historische figuren als Marcus Antonius, de dichter Cicero en Augustus' dochter Julia, maar ook van een eenvoudige soldaat in de legers van de keizer, verrijst het levensechte beeld van een man die ervan droomt het corrupte Rome te bevrijden van het wispelturige juk van megalomane warhoofden en roofzuchtige rijken. Net als in Stoner en Butcher's Crossing onderzoekt Williams in Augustus waarden als de verantwoordelijkheid van het individu, vriendschap en de zucht naar macht, en weet hij de dilemma's in een mensenleven als geen ander invoelbaar te maken.

Lovely Slate Gray Jewelry Box
I just received this Slate Gray jewelry box. It's really quite lovely and just the right size for my granddaughter's vanity. I'm really excited about giving it to her, for her 12th Birthday, to hold her better jewelry. It's so nice I'm going to order another one for my other Granddaughter's Birthday.

Songmics Slate Gray Travel Jewelry Box
I purchased the slate gray Songmics jewelry box for travel purposes. We take long vacations and have an upcoming 20 day cruise. I wanted a jewelry box that was compact enough to put in my carry-on bag, but still had room to hold a months worth of jewelry, especially to keep my necklaces for tangling. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and the packaging was great, shipped in a sturdy box. so no damage to the jewelry box. The color is a rich gray and the 2 tier box, while small, holds a lot of jewelry. I wanted to purchase the ink black but could not justify paying twice the price of the gray one just to get it in black. It is small enough that it will fit in most any hotel/ship safe so I won't be sitting out in the room anyway. It has a strong magnetic snap that keeps the box from opening while in transit. The one negative for me is that the pierced earring card is so thick that my earrings barely go through to have enough room on the back side the slip the backs on. I may separate the double thick card, realizing it will not look as nice but will be more functional. The bottom half of the box will hold bracelets up to 1 1/4" wide. There is enough room under the earrings card to place pendants, additional earrings, etc. The necklace holder is designed to hold 5 necklaces, but I added one more by going across the top, end to end, to prevent tangling. I also placed smaller hoop earrings in the ring holder which holds them securely. This box held 7 bracelets, 2 of which were wide, 5 rings, 9 necklaces (I placed 3 in the bottom of the box, and had room for 23 pair of earrings (some placed in the ring holder and in the bottom of the bo)! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
