Spurred by a lifelong fascination with the great emperor, French novelist Honoré de Balzac set himself the painstaking task of collecting a selection of Napoleon’s aphorisms from his public speeches and the gazettes of the time.Arranged into four themes (covering social life, the military arts, the exercise of power and the teachings of experience and misfortune), Napoleon’s pithy pills of wisdom –often Machiavellian, cynical, dry and sometimes cruel– offer a unique insight into the mind of a man who prided himself on preferring action over thought and the sword over the pen, and conjure up one of the most eminent and influential historical figures of all time.''

In April 1671 Seville’s most celebrated artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682) was permitted to open the tomb of the uncorrupted body of the medieval king, Ferdinand III of Castile and Leon (1201–1252). After coming face to face with it, Murillo’s aim was to paint his ‘true portrait’ and support the campaign for the canonization of the conqueror of the kingdoms of Jaén, Córdoba and Seville, nearly 420 years after his death. This study focuses on the painter’s ‘true portrait’ that re-emerged in Bishop Auckland in 2020 after a century of obscurity in private collections.This book investigates what might have influenced Murillo’s portrait of Ferdinand III and other known versions of it, placing them in their artistic, religious and political contexts. It asks how Murillo’s visualisations contrasted with other contemporaneous artistic and literary depictions of the king. It also assesses the impact of Murillo’s portrait on later artists, copyists and writers through to nineteenth-century Seville, Madrid and Latin America, and explores how the imagery of the saint-king intertwined with images of other ‘warrior’ saints associated with Christian expansionism in medieval Iberia.

Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes deep into the well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher—for their world or ours.Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is seventeen, he meets Howard Bowditch, a recluse with a big dog in a big house at the top of a big hill. In the backyard is a locked shed from which strange sounds emerge, as if some creature is trying to escape. When Mr. Bowditch dies, he leaves Charlie the house, a massive amount of gold, a cassette tape telling a story that is impossible to believe, and a responsibility far too massive for a boy to shoulder.Because within the shed is a portal to another world—one whose denizens are in peril and whose monstrous leaders may destroy their own world, and ours. In this parallel universe, where two moons race across the sky, and the grand towers of a sprawling palace pierce the clouds, there are exiled princesses and princes who suffer horrific punishments, there are dungeons, there are games in which men and women must fight each other to the death for the amusement of the “Fair One.” And there is a magic sundial that can turn back time.A story as old as myth, and as startling and iconic as the rest of King’s work, Fairy Tale is about an ordinary guy forced into the hero’s role by circumstance, and it is both spectacularly suspenseful and satisfying.
