Sobre este artículo
Beverly, Massachusetts: Fair Winds Press, 2009. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9?" - 12" tall. First US Printing. Large Paperback In Very Good Condition. Heavy, glossy, hinged, black cover with French flap, image on front of cover is: Nero, 37-68 AD, Fifth Roman Emperor, marble bust. Quite striking inside cover image: The Fire of Rome, 18 July, 64 AD (oil on canvas), Hubert Robert (1733 - 1808). Cover is quite clean and unmarked, faint crease to upper corner, no spine creasing. Sound and tight binding. Internals as new. Illustrated throughout--art reproductions, historical photos, drawings. William Weir sets the record straight through a fascinating examination of historical lies and myths and the true story behind them. Each chapter points out a misconception held as common truth in history. For example: As far as prisons go, the Bastille wasn't all that bad; Emperor Nero did not fiddle as Rome burned; Jesse James: American Robin Hood or Serial Murderer?; About Robert the Bruce. A handsome, intriguing book. 288 pages with index. 9.5 x 7.75 inches. 2009, Fair Winds Press, Beverly, Massachusetts, USA
