Search the history books and you’ll struggle to find any reference made to England’s best loved King, yet make your way to this craggy outcrop, where the sound of the sea is simply mesmerizing, and you’ll find yourself closer to the legend of King Arthur than in any other place on earth.There are those who consider Tintagel to be the site of King Arthur’s court at Camelot, but for most, Tintagel is generally recognized as the place where Arthur was born. As you begin to uncover the story of Arthur’s entrance into the world, you will quickly understand why he’s absent from the “factual” records of history.Whatever your interest in King Arthur, historical or romantic, there is something here to suit every taste, and as the story unfolds before you, the intoxicating mix of mythology and fact will prove utterly irresistible.The History JournalsWe create enlightening history books for people looking to learn about topics in a quick study guide format.

    Hannibal: The True Story of the Life and Time of the Ancient Military Leader (Great Military Leaders) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min
    Do you want to learn more about the great military leader Hannibal, but don’t have time to read huge, long biographies? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of his life.When it comes to great military leaders few will inspire the imagination of each new generation more than Hannibal, the mighty Carthaginian who marched 37 war elephants across the Alps in a bid to take on the Roman Empire. Even today this would be a daring and perilous adventure, but the fact that Hannibal succeeded in his mission in 218BC makes it all the more incredible.Interestingly, few people remember that eventually Hannibal went on to lose his battle with Rome, which paled into insignificance compared with his achievement of taking elephants across the Alps. However, the man behind the legend was as remarkable as the stories that surround him and for this history journal we’ll embark upon a journey of discovery to find out who Hannibal really was.Quickly forgetting all about Hannibal the Cannibal from the pen of Thomas Harris and The Silence of the Lambs, the Hannibal in question here lived before the birth of Christ and has been credited with being an inspiration to many of the world’s military leaders, including the French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte and his very British nemesis, the Duke of Wellington. Both men were renowned for being great military strategists, but when we go back in time to when Hannibal waged war on the Romans, we can certainly see where it all began. You will learn about:His life beginning to the endHis use of war elephantsHow he inspired other military leaders like NapoleonHow the Carthaginians were adept in both military and trade operationsHow he and his father, Hamilcar Barca, were part of the Punic WarsThe History JournalsWe create enlightening history books for people looking to learn about topics in a quick study guid ungekürzt.

    D.H. Lawrence: The True Story of the Life & Time of the Great Author: Great Author Biographies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 42min
    Do you want to learn more about the great author D.H. Lawrence, but don’t have time to read huge, long biographies? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of his life.D.H. Lawrence is one of the most controversial writers of the twentieth century; his novels have caused public outcry, been banned and even taken to court. Yet perhaps Lawrence is also the most misunderstood of British authors. Born into a working-class mining community in Nottinghamshire, he strove to escape his roots and reach the heights his mother longed all her children to attain. But as success brought him fame, security and new friends, he found himself more out of place than ever.Today we can walk in his footsteps to see the settings that inspired his novels and much of his poetry. Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow and Lady Chatterley’s Lover all took place in the villages, by the lakes, and in the woodland of what Lawrence described as “the country of my heart”. Sadly, today most remember the scandals that his books caused, forgetting that D.H. Lawrence is a truly great writer and poet.Includes links for more in-depth research.You will learn about:His life beginning to the endHis family life and where he livedLearn of the early life tensions and conflict which helped to form the nucleus of his creativityHow where he lived inspired the settings in his writingHis affair with a married womanThe History JournalsWe create enlightening history books for people looking to learn about topics in a quick study guide format.
