› Find signed collectible books: 'Asterix and the Goths'Book summary:The Adventures of Asterix (French: Asterix or Asterix le Gaulois) is a series of French comic books written by Rene Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo (Uderzo also took over the job of writing the series after the death of Goscinny in 1977). The series first appeared in French in the magazine Pilote on 29 October 1959. As of 2008, 33 comic books in the series have been released.
The series follows the exploits of a village of ancient Gauls as they resist Roman occupation. They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their druid, which gives the recipient superhuman strength. The protagonist, the titular character, Asterix, along with his friend Obelix have various adventures. In many cases, this leads them to travel to various countries around the world, though other books are set in and around their village. For much of the history of the series (Volumes 4 through 29), settings in Gaul and abroad alternated, with even-numbered volumes set abroad and odd-numbered volumes set in Gaul, mostly in the village.
The Asterix series is one of the most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world, with the series being translated into over 100 languages, and it is popular in most European countries.
The success of the series has led to the adaptation of several books into 11 films; eight animated, and three with live actors. There have also been a number of games based on the characters, and a theme park near Paris, Parc Asterix, is themed around the series. To date, 325 million copies of 33 Asterix books have been sold around the world making co-creators Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo France's bestselling authors abroad.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Beacon at Alexandria'Book summary:"When Charis learns that her father has betrothed her to the hated Roman governor Festinus, she enlists the aid of her brother and flees to Alexandria. There, disguised as a eunuch, she begins to study Hippocratic medicine under the tutelage of a patient Jewish physician. The young woman excels as a healer and her fame spreads. Political intrigues force her to frontier outposts of the Roman Empire where she practices as an army doctor. She succeeds in maintaining her disguise until she is captured and held prisoner by the Goths during their uprising against the Romans. Bradshaw has superbly re-created the political, social, and intellectual climate of the 4th century A.D. and the attitudes towards woman and medicine in this excellent work for most public libraries."--from Library Journal.

The Fall of Rome: And the End of Civilizationby Bryan Ward-PerkinsISBN 0192807285 (0-19-280728-5)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Fall of Rome: And the End of Civilization'Book summary:Was the fall of Rome a great catastrophe that cast the West into darkness for centuries to come? Or, as scholars argue today, was there no crisis at all, but simply a peaceful blending of barbarians into Roman culture, an essentially positive transformation?
In The Fall of Rome, eminent historian Bryan Ward-Perkins argues that the "peaceful" theory of Rome's "transformation" is badly in error. Indeed, he sees the fall of Rome as a time of horror and dislocation that destroyed a great civilization, throwing the inhabitants of the West back to a standard of living typical of prehistoric times. Attacking contemporary theories with relish and making use of modern archaeological evidence, he looks at both the wider explanations for the disintegration of the Roman world and also the consequences for the lives of everyday Romans, who were caught in a world of marauding barbarians, and economic collapse. The book recaptures the drama and violence of the last days of the Roman world, and reminds us of the very real terrors of barbarian occupation. Equally important, Ward-Perkins contends that a key problem with the new way of looking at the end of the ancient world is that all difficulty and awkwardness is smoothed out into a steady and positive transformation of society. Nothing ever goes badly wrong in this vision of the past. The evidence shows otherwise.
Up-to-date and brilliantly written, combining a lively narrative with the latest research and thirty illustrations, this superb volume reclaims the drama, the violence, and the tragedy of the fall of Rome. [via]More editions of The Fall of Rome: And the End of Civilization:

The Gothsby P. J. HeatherISBN 0631209328 (0-631-20932-8)
Softcover, Blackwell Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Goths'Book summary:Although they exerted a profound, far-reaching influence on Continental geopolitics, the historical Goths (as opposed to contemporary fans of the Cure and Bauhaus) are little known. Peter Heather provides a readable precis of the Goths' role in ancient and medieval European history, examining the murky origins of various Gothic-speaking groups in the Vistula River region of northern Poland, from which they spread out eastward and southward. Pressured by the expanding Roman empire on one side and migrating Hunnish peoples from Central Asia on the other, the Goths aggressively defended their territory and eventually attacked westward, contributing to the collapse of Rome and establishing Gothic empires in Italy, Spain, and North Africa. Heather's useful book ends with the fall of these governments in the 7th century. --Gregory McNamee [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The New Penguin Atlas of Medieval History'Book summary:The period from the reign of Constantine to the great voyages of discoveryor from the fourth to the fifteenth centurywas once seen merely as the long, slow decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Yet, for Europeans, it is also a "supreme story of defeat turned into victory."[via]Colin McEvedy's pioneering atlas, revised and expanded for this new edition, treats as one unit the Mediterranean, Europe and the nomads' steppeland to the East (the habitat of Huns, Turks and Mongols). Illuminating maps and lively commentaries present the towns and trade routes, the changing population patterns, the boundaries of Christendom (and later Islam) and the ever-shifting political units. The result is a wonderfully eloquent picture, as Dr. McEvedy puts it, "of how old empires fell and new ones rose, and how, in Europe, a new society emerged which had the energy to break free from the geographical, intellectual and technical limitations that defined the medieval world."

Asterix Et Les Gothsby Goscinny, UderzoISBN 2205001213 (2-205-00121-3)
Hardcover, Dargaud
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Asterix Et Les Goths'Book summary:Nous sommes en 1959, en plein mois d'août. Dans une cité HLM de Bobigny, aux portes de Paris, deux auteurs de bande dessinée s'épongent le front. Pas seulement à cause de la chaleur estivale : les deux compères suent sang et eau pour trouver une idée de personnage. Il leur faut être prêts pour le premier numéro de Pilote, un nouveau magazine pour les jeunes dont la parution doit intervenir trois mois plus tard. Le scénariste s'appelle René Goscinny. Son copain dessinateur, c'est Albert Uderzo. Ils avaient bien pensé à adapter Le Roman de Renart, mais un autre y a songé avant eux. Alors, ils cherchent. Mais ne trouvent rien& Jusqu'à ce que Goscinny ait l'idée d'un petit Gaulois teigneux et moustachu. Banco : Astérix est né. Et, avec lui, un formidable succès d'édition doublé d'un phénomène de société.
Il fait sa première apparition le 29 octobre 1959 dans les pages de Pilote. Puis l'album Astérix le Gaulois sort en librairie en 1961. Tirage modeste : 6 000 exemplaires. Mais la courbe des ventes ne va cesser de grimper. En 1966, 600 000 exemplaires d'Astérix chez les Bretons s'envolent en quinze jours. Le petit Gaulois est en couverture de l'hebdomadaire L'Express. Du jamais vu. L'année précédente, il a même donné son nom au premier satellite français. Les intellectuels mêlent leur grain de sel, certains trouvant à Astérix une ressemblance avec le Général de Gaulle& Goscinny et Uderzo n'en ont cure. Eux continuent à s'amuser, à faire vivre une galerie de personnages pittoresques, à réécrire l'Histoire et à régaler leurs lecteurs de gags subtils et de trouvailles visuelles. La disparition de Goscinny, en 1977, ne mettra pas fin à l'aventure. Uderzo continue seul et fonde les Éditions Albert-René. Désormais, c'est lui qui écrira les scénarios, sans toutefois faire preuve du même talent que son prédécesseur. Au total, les aventures d'Astérix et de son copain Obélix se sont vendues à plus de 280 millions d'exemplaires. Une réussite exceptionnelle dans la bande dessinée. --Gilbert Jacques [via]More editions of Asterix Et Les Goths:
