Product Information

Pe langa asta este si un what if legat de Hitler. Vechea dilema: daca celebrul dictator nu ar fi supravietuit Primului Razboi Mondial poate ca Al Doilea Razboi Mondial si genocidul evreiesc nu ar fi existat. This is the story of the Roman leader Paulinus Maximus, who first serves on the frontier in Britain along Hadrian's wall, where he suppresses a bloody revolt by the Picts led by a former childhood friend. While contending with the Picts he hears word of the loss of two legions along the Danube, with the chilling realization that the Empire and even civilization itself may not last forever. But as far as Morpurgo is concerned, classic old fashioned stories will always have a place in our at times scary new world.

Read how Billy Byron met different people and went to different places and how he will always remain. Por lo que he trastead por la red creo que es un personaje más o menos real pero con muchas licencias del escrito (vamos, que no es tan real como los que suele traernos Posteguillo).

I once read in my physics book that the universe begs to be observed, that energy travels and transfers when people pay attention. Maybe that's what love really boils down to -- having someone who cares enough to pay attention so that you're encouraged to travel and transfer, to make your potential energy spark into kinetic energy. Maybe all anyone ever needs is for someone to notice them, to observe them."

The best book I have ever read! And that's something because I'm big on books. No exaggeration it is a truly gripping story of war. And hands down a must read book. I just wanted to write a short review to anyone browsing this book to say that if you haven't read this book already you should already be running towards your local library. Read this book at the first chance chance you get. Morpurgo added: “Storymakers and storytellers like Barrie, and like all the previous winners of this award, have given us the hope and faith children need, we need, to keep flying, have sustained us through dark and troubled times, have banished doubt. To touch the lives of children, to witness their listening and reading silence, is reward enough in itself. This is simply the icing on the cake.”El otrora todopoderoso Imperio romano se encuentra en sus años finales. Perdida la virtud y la potencia militar que lo hicieron grande, gobernado por meras sombras de los gigantes de antaño y acosado en todas las fronteras por hordas de feroces bárbaros, tan sólo un hombre se interpone entre Roma y su casi segura destrucción: el veterano general Paulino Gayo Máximo. Curtido en las duras batallas ante el Muro de Adriano, Máximo comanda la legión encargada de defender la peligrosa frontera del Rin. Más allá del río, naciones enteras afilan sus armas, acuciadas por el hambre y los sueños de la riqueza del Imperio. La esperanza de la victoria hace mucho tiempo que se perdió y a Máximo sólo le queda retrasar la inevitable derrota; sólo le queda vivir con honor y morir con la espada en la mano.
