ANCIENT WORLDS
Michael Scott
Acclaimed historian and TV presenter Michael Scott guides us through an epic story spanning ten centuries to create a bold new reading of the classical era for our globalised world.
Scott challenges our traditionally western-focused perception of the past, connecting Greco-Roman civilisation to the great rulers and empires that swept across Central Asia to India and China – resulting in a truly global vision of ancient history.
With stunning range and richness Ancient Worlds illustrates how the great powers and characters of antiquity shared ambitions and crises, ways of thinking and forms of governing: connections that only grew stronger over the centuries as political systems evolved, mighty armies clashed, universal religions were born and our modern world was foreshadowed.
Scott focuses on three epochal ‘moments’ across the ancient globe, and their profound wider significance: from 509-8 BCE (birth of Athenian democracy and Rome’s republic, also the age of Confucius’s teachings in China); to 218 BCE (when Hannibal of Carthage challenged Rome and China saw its first emperor); to 312 CE, when Constantine sought to impose Christianity on the Roman world even as Buddhism was pervading China via the vast trading routes we now know as the ‘Silk Roads.’
A major work of global history, Michael Scott’s enthralling journey challenges the way we think about our past, re-draws the map of the classical age to reveal its hidden connections, and shows us how ancient history has lessons for our own times.

De alchemist (De geheimen van de onsterfelijke Nicolas Flamel, #1)
Michael Scott
De legende: Nicolas Flamel werd geboren op 28 september 1330 in Parijs. Bijna zevenhonderd jaar later wordt hij gezien als de grootste alchemist van zijn tijd. Er wordt gezegd dat hij het geheim van het eeuwige leven heeft ontdekt. Volgens de archieven stierf hij in 1418, maar zijn graf is leeg…
De waarheid: Nicolas Flamel leeft nog, dankzij het Elixir van het Eeuwige Leven. De formule hiervan zit verborgen in de Codex van Abraham de Magus, het boek met de machtigste oude magie die er bestaat.
Dr. John Dee was vierhonderd jaar geleden de adviseur en astroloog van Koningin Elizabeth I. Hij heeft zich toen verbonden met de Duistere Aloude: de krachten van het kwaad die van plan zijn de mensheid te vernietigen zodra ze de Codex in handen krijgen.
Als de millennia-oude voorspelling juist is, zijn Sophie en Josh Newman de enigen die hem kunnen tegenhouden – maar dan moet het Flamel eerst lukken om hun bijzondere krachten te doen ontwaken…
Delfi: Il centro del mondo antico
Michael Scott
"All'alba la Pizia si recava a fare il bagno nella sorgente Castalia, vicino al santuario. Una volta purificata, tornava al santuario, probabilmente accompagnata dal suo seguito, ed entrava nel tempio, dove bruciava ad Apollo un'offerta di foglie di alloro e farina d'orzo. Più o meno contemporaneamente, i sacerdoti del tempio dovevano verificare che potessero aver luogo le consultazioni. La procedura consisteva nell'aspergere di acqua fredda una capra, forse nel focolare sacro all'interno del tempio. Se la capra rabbrividiva, voleva dire che Apollo era lieto di essere interpellato." A Delfi arrivavano da ogni parte del Mediterraneo re, autorità cittadine e singoli individui, per consultare la Pizia, per erigere monumenti agli dei, per partecipare alle competizioni atletiche e musicali. La città, per lungo tempo, fu un concentrato di religione, arte, manovre politiche e ricchezze. Michael Scott racconta il più celebre oracolo dell'antichità e come una cittadina alle pendici del Parnaso sia diventata l'ombelico del mondo.
Delphi: A History of the Center of the Ancient World
Michael Scott
The oracle and sanctuary of the Greek god Apollo at Delphi were known as the "omphalos"--the "center" or "navel"--of the ancient world for more than 1000 years. Individuals, city leaders, and kings came from all over the Mediterranean and beyond to consult Delphi's oracular priestess; to set up monuments to the gods; and to take part in competitions.
In this richly illustrated account, Michael Scott covers the history and nature of Delphi, from the literary and archaeological evidence surrounding the site, to its rise as a center of worship, to the constant appeal of the oracle despite her cryptic prophecies. He describes how Delphi became a contested sacred site for Greeks and Romans and a storehouse for the treasures of rival city-states and foreign kings. He also examines the eventual decline of the site and how its meaning and importance have continued to be reshaped.
A unique window into the center of the ancient world, Delphi will appeal to general readers, tourists, students, and specialists.

Michael Scott
San Francisco: Josh e Sophie Newman sono a casa. Nessuno dei due è riuscito a padroneggiare la magia necessaria a proteggersi dagli Oscuri Signori, e ora hanno John Dee alle calcagna. Ma la cosa più inquietante è che cominciano a dubitare di Nicholas Flamel... Alcatraz: Perenelle Flamel non era l'unica prigioniera dell'isola. C'era anche un esercito di mostri che Dee intendeva usare nella battaglia finale. E ora Machiavelli è ad Alcatraz per scatenarli contro San Francisco. Nicholas e Perenelle Flamel dovranno combattere per proteggere la città, ma lo sforzo probabilmente li ucciderà entrambi. Londra: Dee ha un piano. Con il Libro di Abramo il Mago e i mostri di Alcatraz può controllare il mondo. Ma perché tutto funzioni, dovrà richiamare dalla morte la Madre degli Dei. Per farlo deve addestrare un negromante. E i gemelli della leggenda fanno proprio al caso suo... Età di lettura: da 11 anni.
I segreti di Nicholas Flamel l'immortale: I gemelli (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #6)
Michael Scott
"I due che sono uno e l'uno che è tutto. Uno per salvare il mondo, uno per distruggerlo".
L'antica profezia dei gemelli sta per compiersi.
San Francisco: A Nicholas e Perenelle Flamel restano un giorno di vita e una cosa da fare. Difendere San Francisco. I mostri riuniti sull'isola di Alcatraz sono stati liberati e marciano verso la città. Per la razza umana è l'inizio della fine?

I segreti di Nicholas Flamel l'immortale: Il mago
Michael Scott
After fleeing Ojai, Nicholas, Sophie, Josh, and Scatty emerge in Paris, the City of Lights. Home for Nicholas Flamel. Only this homecoming is anything but sweet. Perenelle is still locked up back in Alcatraz and Paris is teeming with enemies. Niccolo Machiavelli, immortal author and celebrated art collector, is working for Dee. He’s after them, and time is running out for Nicholas and Perenelle. For every day spent without the Book of Abraham the Mage, they age one year-their magic becoming weaker and their bodies more frail. For Flamel, the Prophecy is becoming more and more clear.
It’s time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there’s only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel’s old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain-alchemist, magician, and rock star. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world’s only hope-if they don’t turn on each other first.
I segreti di Nicholas Flamel l'immortale: L'alchimista
Michael Scott
Nicholas Flamel nacque a Parigi ii 28 settembre 1330. È considerato il più grande alchimista del suo tempo e si dice abbia scoperto la formula della vita eterna. È morto nel 1418. Ma la sua tomba è vuota. Nicholas Flamel è ancora vivo, grazie all'elisir di lunga vita che da secoli produce nel suo laboratorio. Il segreto della formula tuttavia è custodito in un libro preziosissimo che ora si trova nelle mani del malvagio dottor John Dee. Secondo la profezia, solo due giovani gemelli dall'aura d'oro e d'argento possono recuperarlo. Nella San Francisco del ventunesimo secolo Josh e Sophie dovranno battersi contro golem, creature mitologiche e divinità leggendarie emerse dai confini del tempo per difendere il volume.
I segreti di Nicholas Flamel, l'immortale: L'incantatrice
Michael Scott
Il cuore di Nicholas Flamel si è quasi spezzato quando Parigi è andata in briciole sotto i suoi occhi, distrutta da Dee e Machiavelli, ma non ha potuto fare nulla per evitare il disastro. Perché Sophie e Josh Newman continuano a dare segnali inequivocabili di essere i gemelli della profezia e Flamel deve proteggerli a tutti i costi. Ma ogni giorno che passa l'alchimista è sempre più debole e sua moglie Perenelle è ancora prigioniera ad Alcatraz. Il gruppo rischia di restare senza protezione. Se spera di sconfiggere Dee una volta per tutte, Nicholas deve trovare qualcuno in grado di insegnare a Josh e Sophie la terza magia elementare, quella dell'acqua. Qual è il problema? Nessuno, a parte il fatto che l'unico capace di farlo sia Gilgamesh e che costui sia completamente pazzo. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.
La encantadora (Los secretos del inmortal Nicolás Flamel, #6)
Michael Scott
A Nicholas y Perenelle Flamel solo les queda un día de vida y tienen una tarea que completar. Tienen que defender San Francisco. Los monstruos recluidos en la isla de Alcatraz han sido liberados y se dirigen a la ciudad. Si nadie los detiene, destruirán todo y a todos los que se encuentren a su paso.
Incluso con la ayuda de los más grandes guerreros de la historia y los mitos, ¿conseguirán la Maga y el legendario Alquimista defender la ciudad? ¿O estamos ante el principio del fin de la raza humana?
La Hechicera (Los secretos del inmortal Nicolas Flamel, #3)
Michael Scott
El corazón de Nicholas Flamel se rompió en mil pedazos cuando vio como su querida París quedaba reducida a cenizas delante de sus propios ojos. Dee y Maquiavelo son los culpables de este desastre, pero Flamel también tuvo parte de culpa, porque al tener que proteger a Sophie y Josh Newman (los gemelos de la profecía) y a los manuscritos de los Sabios oscuros, no pudo centrarse en evitar la caida de la ciudad.
La situación no podía estar peor: Nicholas se debilita día a día y Perenelle, su mujer, sigue atrapada en Alcatraz. La única oportunidad que tienen es encontrar un tutor que enseñe los rudimentos mágicos necesarios a Sophie y Josh. El problema es que el único que puede hacerlo es un personaje llamado Gilgamesh, que está muy, pero que muy loco.
Nicholas Flamel's heart almost broke as he watched his beloved Paris crumble before him. The city was destroyed by Dee and Machiavelli, but Flamel played his own role in the destruction. Sophie and Josh Newman show every sign of being the twins of prophecy, and Flamel had to protect them and the pages from the Dark Elders.
But Nicholas grows weaker with each passing day. Perenelle is still trapped in Alcatraz, and now that Scatty has gone missing, the group is without protection. Except for Clarent—the twin sword to Excalibur. But Clarent’s power is unthinkable, its evil making it nearly impossible to use without its darkness seeping into the soul of whoever wields it.
If he hopes to defeat Dee, Nicholas must find an Elder who can teach Josh and Sophie the third elemental magic—Water Magic. The problem? The only one who can do that is Gilgamesh, and he is quite, quite insane.

It’s time for Sophie to learn the second elemental magic: Fire Magic. And there’s only one man who can teach it to her: Flamel’s old student, the Comte de Saint-Germain-alchemist, magician, and rock star. Josh and Sophie Newman are the world’s only hope-if they don’t turn on each other first.

The Necromancer (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #4)
Michael Scott
San Francisco:
Josh and Sophie Newman are finally home. And they're both more confused than ever about their future. Neither of them has mastered the magics they'll need to protect themselves, they've lost Scatty, and they're still being pursued by Dr. John Dee. Most disturbing of all, however, is that now they must ask themselves, can they trust Nicholas Flamel? Can they trust anyone?
Alcatraz:
Dr. Dee underestimated Perenelle Flamel's power. Alcatraz could not hold her, Nereus was no match for her, and she was able to align herself with the most unlikely of allies. But she wasn't the only one being held on the island. Behind the prison's bars and protective sigils were a menagerie of monsters, and now Machiavelli has come to Alcatraz to loose them on San Francisco.
Perenelle might be powerful, but each day she weakens, and even with Nicholas back at her side, a battle of this size could be too much for her. Nicholas and Perenelle must fight to protect the city, but the effort will probably kill them both.
London:
Having been unable to regain the two final pages of the Codex, Dee has failed his Elder and is now an outlaw.
But the Magician has a plan. With the Codex and the creatures on Alcatraz, he can control the world. All he needs is the help of the Archons. But for his plan to work, he must raise the Mother of the Gods from the dead. For that, he'll have to train a necromancer.

The Thirteen Hallows (Thirteen Hallows, #1)
Michael Scott
The Hallows. Ancient artifacts imbued with a primal and deadly power. But are they protectors of this world, or the keys to its destruction?
A gruesome murder in London reveals a sinister plot to uncover a two-thousand-year-old secret.
For decades, the Keepers guarded these Hallows, keping them safe, hidden, and apart from one another. But now the Keepers are being brutally murdered, their prizes stolen, the ancient objects bathed in their blood.
Now, only a few remain.
With her dying breath, one of the Keepers convinces Sarah Miller, a virtual stranger, to deliver her Hallow--a broken sword with devastating powers--to her nephew, Owen.
The duo quickly become suspects in a series of murders as they are chased by both the police and the sadistic Dark Man and his nubile mistress.
As Sarah and Owen search for the surviving Keepers, they unravel a deadly secret the Keepers were charged to protect. The mystery leads Sarah and Owen on a cat-and-mouse chase through England and Wales--and history itself--as they discover that the sword may be the only thing standing between the world... and a horror beyond imagining.
The Warlock (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #5)
Michael Scott
The twins of prophecy have been divided—the end has begun.
Alcatraz
Although their ally Dr. John Dee has been declared utlaga, Machiavelli and Billy the Kid will follow the plans the Elders have laid before them: they will loose the monsters of Alcatraz on the city of San Francisco, thereby triggering the end of the human race.
Danu Talis:
The Shadowrealm that Scatty and Joan of Arc have entered is far more dangerous than they could ever have imagined. And they haven't landed here by chance—the warriors were called for a reason. So were Saint-Germain, Palamedes, and Shakespeare. The group was summoned because they must travel back int time to Danu Talis to destroy it. For the island of Danu Talis, known in humani myth as the lost city of Atlantis, must fall if the modern world is to exist.
San Francisco
The end is finally near. Josh Newman has chosen a side, and he will not stand with his sister, Sophie, or with the Alchemyst, Nicholas Flamel. He will fight alongside Dee and the mysterious Virginia Dare.
Unless Sophie can find her twin before the battle begins, all is lost—forever.

The infamous Rattenfnager, the Pied Piper of Hamlin, has come to the East Coast of the Americas. But while in Europe he earned his living as a ratcatcher, he now carries with him an ancient and incredibly powerful flute—one that he plans to use to seize control of the new colonies, and eventually the entire continent.

הסודות של ניקולס פלמל בן האלמוות 1 - האלכימאי (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #1)
Michael Scott
סופי וג´וש, תאומים בני 15, לא ידעו שהם בעצם קוסמים בעלי כוחות מיוחדים. את יכולות הכישוף שלהם הם מגלים לגמרי במקרה, כשחנות הספרים שבה עובד ג´וש בחופש הגדול נשדדת, והשודדים גונבים ממנה ספר נדיר וחוטפים את אחד מבעלי החנות.
התקרית הזאת משנה את חיי התאומים לנצח. הם מגלים שהספר הגנוב הוא אוסף עתיק ונדיר של כשפים, ובעלי החנות, ניק פרי הוא בעצם ניקולס פלמל, האלכימאי בן המאה ה-14 שמסוגל להפוך מתכות פשוטות לזהב ולרקוח שיקוי לחיי נצח.
ככה נקלעים סופי וג´וש אל מאבק סוער בין כוחות האופל המנסים להחריב את העולם לבין קבוצה של פיות, אלות, קוסמים ושדונים המגייסים את כל כוחותיהם כדי להציל אותו. הם פוגשים יצורים מוזרים ומתוודעים למיתוסים ואגדות מתרבויות שונות, וכל אלה משולבים בעלילה מהפנטת ומענגת, מפחידה ובעיקר סוחפת מאוד.
האלכימאי הוא הספר הראשון בסדרת הסודות של ניקולס פלמל בן האלמוות, שכבשה את דמיונם של בני נוער ברחבי תבל.
הסודות של ניקולס פלמל בן האלמוות 2 - הקוסם (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #2)
Michael Scott
הם נמלטים על נפשם ברחובות פריז: סופי וג´וש, תאומים בני 15 מסן פרנסיסקו, בעלי יכולות כישוף שאותן גילו רק במקרה, המוצאים את עצמם בעיצומו של מאבק איתנים עם כוחות האופל, המאיימים לחסל את העולם. לצדם ניקולס פלמל, האלכימאי בן האלמוות שנולד במאה ה-14, שיחד עם אשתו האהובה פרנל יעשה הכול כדי להציל את העולם מידיו של דוקטור ג´ון די.
בינתיים בקליפורניה: דוקטור ג´ון דין, האיש שהצליח לגנוב את ספרו של אברהם הרב מג, הספר רב העוצמה שבכל הזמנים, ששניים מעמודיו נמצאים בידיהם של פלמל והתאומים, ובלעדיהם הוא חסר משמעות.
ושוב בפריז: ניקולו מקיאבלי, המדינאי והסופר בן האלמוות יליד המאה ה-15, שליחו השטני של דוקטור די, יעשה הכול כדי למצוא את הרביעייה, שכוחותיה הולכים ואוזלים. פלמל, מותש ונטול כשפים, מבין שסופי חייבת ללמוד את קסם היסוד השני: קסם האש.
הסודות של ניקולס פלמל בן האלמוות 3 - אשת הכשפים (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #3)
Michael Scott
אחרי האלכימאי והקוסם יוצא עתה לאור אשת הכשפים, השלישי בסדרת הסודות של ניקוֹלַס פְלַמֶל בן האלמוות - אחת מחמש סדרות הנוער המצליחות ביותר על פי רשימת רבי-המכר של ה"ניו יורק טיימס".
זכויות התרגום של הסדרה נמכרו ל-37 מדינות, וזכויות ההסרטה נרכשו על ידי המפיק האמריקאי לורנצו די בּוֹנַוֶונטוּרה (נשיא וורנר לשעבר, שהיה אחראי גם על העיבוד הקולנועי לסדרת הארי פוטר).
ספר עתיק ומכושף אבד; העולם שאנחנו מכירים עלול להיסדק ולקרוס בכל רגע; ורק סופי וג´וש, תאומים בני 15 מסן פרנסיסקו, יכולים להציל אותו.
אבל ניקולס פלמל שבור לב. פריז היקרה שלו נהרסה לחלוטין במלחמה האיומה נגד ד"ר ג´ון די. ספרו של אברהם הרב מג, הספר שגורל האנושות תלוי בו, נמצא בידיו של דִי, והוא יעשה הכול כדי להשיג את שני העמודים האחרונים. על מנת להביס את דִי, ניקולס חייב למצוא מישהו שיוכל להכשיר את סופי ואת ג´וש בקסם היסוד השלישי - קסם המים. יש רק בעיה קטנה: האיש היחיד שמסוגל להכשיר אותם הוא המלך גִלגַמֶש, והוא מטורף לגמרי.
הסודות של ניקולס פלמל בן האלמוות 4 - הידעוני (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #4)
Michael Scott
חיי האלמוות של ניקולס פְלַמֶל, האלכימאי בן המאה הארבע-עשרה, ושל אשתו האהובה פֶּרֶנֶל אשת הכשפים, עתידים להסתיים במהרה. רק אם יוּשב להם ספר המסורה, המכיל את כל סודות היקום, יינצלו חייהם. אולם ד"ר דִי, שהספר בידו, מתכונן לתקוף ולהחריב את העולם שאנו מכירים, וכוחותיו כבר מקובצים באי אלקטרז. האם ינסו ניקולס ופֶּרֶנֶל להציל את העולם מידי דוקטור די, אפילו על חשבון חיי האלמוות שלהם?
רק ג´וֹש וסוֹפי יכולים להציל את העולם ואת בני הזוג. לשם כך חייב ג´וש ללמוד את קסם האש. אבל ד"ר דִי מנסה להקנות לג´וש קסם חזק עוד יותר. במי יבחר ג´וש – באלכימאי ובאשת הכשפים, שכוונותיהם אולי אינן טהורות לגמרי, או בדוקטור דִי? ומי ישלוט בו יותר, קולה השקול של אחותו האהובה, או אופיו שלו?
הסודות של ניקולס פלמל בן האלמוות 5 - הבוגד (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #5)
Michael Scott
סופי וג'וש, נחשפו תוך שבוע לדברים מדהימים, אך מסוכנים.
הם גילו שהם יכולים להשמיד את העולם, או להציל אותו.
הם גילו שלכול מעשה שיעשו יש משמעות גדולה.
תוך שבוע, הם למדו לשלוט בלפחות שלושה יסודות.
הם הכירו את גדולי הקדמונים, פגשו את וויליאם שייקספיר, אנשים שחיו למלעה מעשרת אלפים שנים, אפילו ביקרו באנגליה ובצרפת מבלי להשתמש במטוס.
סופי נאמנה לזוג ניקולס ופרנל, שטוענים שהמטרה שלהם היא להציל את העולם, להגן עליו מהאשמנים רבי העוצמה.
ג'וש נאמן לדוקטור די והשותפה שלו וירג'יניה.
בספר הרביעי הם התפצלו. ליתר דיוק, ג'וש נטש את סופי.
ועכשיו, לכול אחד יש את האינטרסים שלו, העולם קרוב להחרבות.
הסודות של ניקולס פלמל בן האלמוות 6 - האשפית (The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, #6)
Michael Scott
יום אחד בלבד נותר לבני הזוג ניקוֹלַס ופֶּרֶנֶל פלַמֶל, האלכימאי ואשת הכשפים. ביום חייהם האחרון הם מנסים להציל את העיר סן פרנסיסקו מפני התקפת המפלצות המקובצות באי אַלקַטרַז.
קדמונים ובני אלמוות באים לעזרתם. קדמונים ובני אלמוות אחרים נלחמים בהם. ביום זה יוכרע גורל העולם.
ביום זה התאומים סופי וג'וש ניומן חוזרים 10,000 שנה אחורה, אל האי האגדי דַנוּ טַליס, המקום שבו התחיל הכול, ובו יוכרע עתיד העולם.
בדַנוּ טַליס ילמדו סופי וג'וש על עברם ועל עצמם, ויצטרכו להכריע על עתידם ועל עתיד האנושות.
ביום זה הבריתות מופרות, המחנות מתפרקים ונבנים מחדש, וכל הקדמונים ובני האלמוות נדרשים לבחור שוב את מטרותיהם ואת בעלי בריתם.
מי יהיה שליט העולם? מה יעלה בגורלם של בני האנוש? במה יבחרו הקדמונים ובני האלמוות ביום ההכרעה? ובמה יבחרו ג'וש וסופי?
