    It's a story you think you know: the age-old tale of "star-cross'd lovers"; two families at war; a romance, so pure and absolute, fated for a tragic end. Yet, nothing captures the spark, the possibility, and the surprise of Shakespeare's work quite like this....In Juliet and Romeo acclaimed author of European novels David Hewson reworks and expands on the classic story so that it becomes something richer, something new and entirely its own. Much more than a simple love story, it is a brilliant examination of young versus old, hope against despair, and, for Juliet, the search for individual identity at a time when women were regarded as little more than chattel.Told in modern language, with twists and turns that don't appear in the original, Juliet and Romeo is a classic Renaissance love story for today.Performed by Richard Armitage, the original audio version of the work won an audiobook Oscar, the Audie for best original production of 2018.

    They say all roads lead to Rome - but some are more important than others.Along 350 miles from Rome to Brindisi, the Appian Way rose from its humble beginnings as a military track to become the engine that transformed Ancient Rome into the greatest empire Europe had ever seen.Two thousand years later, with the continent in the process of another seismic shift, bestselling author David Hewson travels its route in the footsteps of the ordinary and extraordinary people who trod its path. From the gladiator rebel Spartacus to the marauding general Hannibal, via emperors, martyrs and politicians, he uncovers the stories of war, intrigue and ambition buried beneath its cobblestones.Whether you love history, travel, Italy or all three, The Appian Way is a vivid, personal and fascinating exploration of an ancient journey that has never been more relevant. Complete with an exclusive online photo album of the main locations and an interactive Google Earth map. 'A seamless mix of present and past. The Appian Way brings Roman history vividly alive.'Dakota L. Hamilton, Humboldt Kent University
