Bücher von Dan Jones

Dan Jones's epic new history tells nothing less than the story of how the world we know today came to be built.

When Henry V became king of England in 1413 he inherited an exhausted realm. The coup d'etat in which Henry's father deposed his uncle Richard II had left deep political fault-lines; the impact of the Black Death still lingered; public finances and law and order were in crisis. To the outside world, England was irrelevant, the glorious victories over France won by Henry's grandfather Edward III at Cre¿cy and Poitiers largely forgotten.But, in less than a decade, Henry transformed England. He reunited the political community behind the crown, reformed the justice system, invested heavily in shipbuilding, put down rebellions and secured England's borders. In foreign diplomacy, he made England a serious player once more. And, by defeating a larger and better-equipped French army at the battle of Agincourt in 1415, he brought about the union of the crowns of England and France, an achievement which ranks Henry alongside medieval rulers such as Charlemagne, William the Conqueror and Frederick Hohenstaufen. In terms of his military genius and force of personality, Henry was arguably the closest thing England ever produced to a Napoleon Bonaparte. And Agincourt was his Austerlitz.

"EIN MÖRDERISCHES, KRAFTVOLLES, STOLZES DEBÜT." THE DAILY MAIL Juli 1346: Zehn Söldner gehen an der Küste der Normandie an Land und sichern als Vorhut die Flotte des englischen Königs. Der Krieg um den französischen Thron beginnt. Für die Essex Dogs wird es ein Kampf ums Überleben, um Zusammenhalt, gegen die Gespenster der Vergangenheit, während das Heer mordend und brandschatzend der großen Schlacht bei Crécy entgegenzieht. Pismire ist klein und kann überall durchschlüpfen. Scotsman, der Größte, kann Wände einreißen. Der Steinmetz Millstone ist zu allem bereit, um die anderen zu beschützen. Für den abgedrehten Priester Father ist der Krieg zum Lebenselixier geworden. Romford, der jüngste, kann gut mit dem Bogen schießen, wird aber zum Pagendienst beim ebenfalls erst sechzehn Jahre alten Prinzen von Wales abkommandiert. Und Loveday, der kampferprobte Anführer, der seine Dogs heil nach England zurückbringen will, begegnet einer mysteriösen Frau, die ihn nicht mehr loslässt ... Dan Jones hat mit den Essex Dogs zehn starke Charaktere geschaffen, die uns den Hundertjährigen Krieg hautnah miterleben lassen - von ganz unten, wo Schlamm, Blut, Hunger, Angst und unstillbare Sehnsucht herrschen, wo die Mächtigen als skrupellose, lächerliche Gestalten erscheinen und an jeder Ecke Gefahr lauert. Wärmstens empfohlen für Fans von Bernard Cornwell oder Ken Follett . «Dan Jones übersetzt mittelalterliche Militärgeschichte in einen spektakulären Hollywood-Film.» The New York Times Book Review "Ein packender Roman, der vor Schwert schwingender Energie nur so vibriert."

Dior redefined what fashion looked like in the post-war age and demanded glamour, femininity and excess to be the order of the day. His vision for seriously structured corsets tapering to dramatically full skirts with pleats for days earned the title 'The New Look', and it really was. This beautifully illustrated book charts not only the work of the great man himself, but also those who stood at the helm after him, including the inimitable Yves Saint Laurent and John Galliano.

For the Dogs, the war has only just begun.Caught up in the siege of Calais, in the midst a brutal eleven-month blockade of a small port on the French coast, they are no longer blindly walking into the unknown. But the men still have more questions than answers about what faces them - and why. What are they really fighting for? And why does the king care so much about taking such a small French town? The Dogs aren't paid to ask questions but in their work, they have the means to make people talk. Soon, their journey will reveal who really wants this war to last for a hundred years. And as the battle rages, they hear the first, faint, chesty rattle of a natural disaster that is sweeping towards the Dogs and their world . . .Spanning the siege city built outside Calais' walls, to the pirate ships patrolling the harbour, and into the dark corners of oligarchs' houses, where the deals that shape - and end - lives are made, this captivating and brutal story brings the 1300s effortlessly to life. About money, merchants and the medieval ?deep state', this is a must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Conn Iggulden.Praise for Essex Dogs:'A new champion has entered the front line of historical fiction to stand shoulder to shoulder with Bernard Cornwell.' Jane Johnson 'Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.' Daily Mail 'A busy, urgent little masterpiece.' Graham Hurley 'With a cast of unforgettable characters, written with irrepressible verve and historical accuracy, Dan Jones delivers a compelling novel that thrums with swordswinging energy.' Simon Sebag Montefiore

"AUF JEDER SEITE FLIRREND UND VIBRIEREND VOR LEBEN." THE SUNDAY TIMES Als das einst mächtige Römische Reich zerfiel und neue, "barbarische" Herrscher an die Macht kamen, begann im Westen Eurasiens eine tausendjährige Phase der Transformation. Dan Jones schlägt souverän Schneisen durch die ferne Welt der Könige und Königinnen, Päpste, Bauern, Mönche und Kreuzfahrer, Kaufleute, Künstler und Gelehrten. Sein fesselndes Buch verdichtet die Geschichte des Mittelalters in all ihrer Komplexität und auf dem neuesten Forschungsstand zu einer großen epischen Erzählung: ein Meisterwerk. Das Mittelalter ist von Augustin und Attila über den Propheten Mohammed, Dschingis Khan und Eleonore von Aquitanien bis hin zu Kolumbus und Luther mit großen Namen verbunden, aber es wurde mindestens ebenso stark von anonymen Kräften geformt, die uns bis heute beschäftigen: Veränderungen des Klimas, Seuchen, Vertreibungen und Migrationen, technologischen Revolutionen und Entdeckungen. Es war die Zeit, in der die großen Nationen entstanden, Grundsätze des Rechts und der Regierung kodifiziert wurden, die Kirchen als politische und moralische Machtfaktoren auftrumpften und Kunst, Architektur, Philosophie und Wissenschaften neu erfunden wurden. Dan Jones erzählt mit klarem Blick für das Wesentliche und mit Sinn für das vielsagende Detail, wie sich die Veränderungen mal still und leise, mal laut und gewaltsam vollzogen, und wirft so neues Licht auch auf den großen Umbruch, der unser Leben bis heute prägt. Der perfekte Einstieg in die Geschichte des Mittelalters: klar, spannend und wirklich barrierefrei Von der Klimageschichte bis zu globalen Netzwerken: neue Perspektiven auf das Mittelalter meisterhaft verdichtet in einer großen Erzählung
