Devilishly attractive Lord Illingworth is notorious for his skill as a seducer. But he is still invited to all the "best" houses, while his female conquests must hide their shame in seclusion.

Julius Caesar: Man, Soldier, and Tyrant
Details: Unabridged
ISBN: 0786108150
Category: Bios, Memoirs, Political Figures, History, Ancient, Notorious Characters
Keywords: rome, conquest, tyrant, ruler, emperor, roman empire, roman republic, Julius, Caesar, Man, Soldier, Tyrant
Author: J. F. C. Fuller
Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks
Length: 14 hours and 5 min.

Description
Since the Renaissance, Julius Caesar has been idolized as a superman. There is no doubt that Caesar was an extraordinary man. But as General Fuller points out, Caesar was more extraordinary for his reckless ambition, matchless daring, and ruthless tyranny than for his skills as a military commander. Caesar continually had to extricate himself from the results of mistaken judgments. His unpremeditated Gallic conquest was just one of Fuller's many examples. In telling Caesar's history, Fuller illuminates a century of Roman history as well, bringing to life Caesar's wars, his armies, his equipment, and his methods. Brilliant in design and impressive in scope, Julius Caesar clarifies how the military, political, and economic aspects of the Roman Republic worked together to produce a man whose name has come down to us as a synonym for absolute authority.

Malinche
Details: Unabridged
ISBN: 0743555139
Category: Fiction, Historical
Keywords: azetcs, cortes, mexico, conquest, Malinche
Author: Laura Esquivel
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio
Length: 6 hours and 48 min.

Description
When Malinalli, a member of the tribe conquered by the Aztec warriors, first meets Cortes, she, like many, believes that he is the reincarnated forefather god of her tribe. Naturally, she assumes that her task is to help Cortes destroy the Aztec empire and free her people. The two fall passionately in love, but Malinalli gradually comes to realize that Cortes' thirst for conquest is all too human. He is willing to destroy anyone, even his own men, even their own love. Throughout Mexican history, Malinalli has been reviled for her betrayal of the Indian people. However, recent historical research has shown that her role was much more complex; she was the mediator between two cultures, Hispanic and Native American, and two languages, Spanish and Nahuatl. Bursting with lyricism and vivid imagery, Malinche finally unveils the truth behind this legendary love affair.
