On 25th October 1415, on a French hillside near the village of Agincourt, four men sheltered from the rain & prepared for battle. All four were English knights, ancestors of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, & part of the army of England`s King Henry V. Across the valley, four sons of the French arm of the Fiennes family were confident that the Dauphin`s army would win the day...600 years after the Battle of Agincourt, Sir Ranulph Fiennes casts new light on this epic event that has resonated throughout British & French history. He explains how his own ancestors were key players through the centuries of turbulent Anglo-French history that led up to Agincourt, & he uses his experience as expedition leader & soldier to give us a fresh perspective on one of the bloodiest periods of medieval history. With fascinating detail on the battle plans, weaponry & human drama of Agincourt, this is a gripping evocation of a historical event integral to English identity. ...

Thirteen-year-old Agostino is spending the summer at a Tuscan seaside resort with his beautiful widowed mother. When she takes up with a cocksure new companion, Agostino, feeling ignored & unloved, begins hanging around with a group of local young toughs. Though repelled by their squalor & brutality, & repeatedly humiliated for his weakness & ignorance when it comes to women & sex, the boy is increasingly, masochistically drawn to the gang & its rough games. He finds himself unable to make sense of his troubled feelings. Hoping to be full of manly calm, he is instead beset by guilty curiosity & an urgent desire to sever, at any cost, the thread of troubled sensuality that binds him to his mother. Alberto Moravia`s classic, startling portrait of innocence lost was written in 1942 but rejected by Fascist censors & not published until 1944, when it became a best seller & secured the author the first literary prize of his career. Revived here in a new translation by Michael F. Moore, Agostino is poised to captivate a twenty-first-century audience. ...
