「英格蘭王朝二部曲」《金雀花王朝》、《空王冠》作者丹．瓊斯最新力作 《耶路撒冷三千年》、《沙皇時代》作者賽門．蒙提費歐里說：迄今為止關於英國最偉大國王的最佳傳記。▏Amazon 2024 年度最佳書籍▏Amazon 4.6顆星&Goodreads 4.4顆星高分評價▏出版迄今始終高踞Amazon英國史傳記人物類書籍前十名的佳績 丹•瓊斯這位《紐約時報》暢銷作家再度重磅出擊，帶來一部探究英格蘭中世紀最偉大國王——亨利五世其戲劇性人生與無與倫比領導力的傳記。亨利五世僅在位九年又四個月，三十五歲便英年早逝，卻在中世紀晚期及其後的歷史中屹立不搖。這位阿金庫爾戰役的勝利者，被後世視為君王典範，是繼任者競相效法的楷模。莎士比亞筆下的亨利五世，是從年少清狂蛻變為成熟政治家的典型。對一位現代中世紀史學家而言，亨利「簡直是英格蘭歷史上最偉大的人」。在丹•瓊斯筆下，亨利五世是中世紀歷史上最令人著迷、卻也最難以捉摸的人物之一。他既是冷酷而強悍的戰士，又具備藝術氣質與文人性情；他曾因誤判朋友與家人而犯錯，但總能在關鍵時刻力挽狂瀾。作為君王，他對內拯救了破敗的國家於經濟崩潰之中，對外則平定叛亂、鞏固邊境；在外交上，他讓英格蘭重返國際舞台的中心。然而，他在法國北部的征服，也為日後長達三代的內亂——玫瑰戰爭——埋下了禍根。 亨利五世是一位歷史巨人，其遺產既輝煌又矛盾。為了揭開傳說背後的真實面貌，作者從亨利的學習與磨鍊歲月寫起——他親眼目睹一位國王的覆滅與另一位的動盪統治。當他於一四一三年登基時，已歷經多年政治與軍事歷練，旋即便締造出驚人的王者事業，贏得無可匹敵的歷史聲望。 丹•瓊斯以他一貫的機智與文采，帶來一部扣人心弦、非讀不可的英格蘭偉大君王傳記。雄心壯志……瓊斯以嚴謹的研究與生動的筆調，為我們呈現出那位超越莎士比亞筆下角色的真實人物。——《紐約時報》

英格蘭如何從一個北海上的蠻荒島國，搖身一變成為歐洲世界強權？丹•瓊斯的「英格蘭王朝二部曲」，一部真實版的《權力的遊戲》歐美最具影響力暨魅力的歷史學者丹．瓊斯之史詩巨作《紐約時報》暢榜圖書、《泰晤士報》《觀察家報》年度好書出版後即長據英國歷史類書籍榜單，現今仍高踞Amazon英國史#1 ，歷久不衰金雀花時代孕育出後世英格蘭的雛形，英國議會、西敏寺、劍橋和牛津大學皆奠基於此時。金雀花王朝更確立了英國作為一個中世紀強權的地位，諸多英雄在十字軍東征和百年戰爭逐鹿中原、縱橫捭闔。最初的金雀花王朝國王們從諾曼人手中繼承了一片血腥的領土，是如何將其一躍為在鼎盛時期從蘇格蘭延伸至耶路撒冷的龐大帝國？金雀花（Plantagenet）出自法國安茹伯爵若弗魯瓦，他的後人在西元十二至十五世紀，建立了一個橫跨英倫海峽兩岸，包括今日法國西北部與西南部、英格蘭、威爾幾乎全境、蘇格蘭南部和愛爾蘭部分地區的大型帝國。後人因此稱之為「安茹帝國」，或更為知名的「金雀花帝國」。在金雀花王朝這三百多年間，奠定了日後英格蘭的政治、文化與社會基礎。政治上出現議會政治的雛形，大憲章就是這時國王與貴族間妥協的產物；文化上盛行哥德式建築，西敏寺和約克大教堂在金雀花時代重建定型；社會上講法語的上層金雀花王公貴族，逐漸融入下層講英語的盎格魯撒克遜平民，英格蘭自外於法蘭西的民族意識也漸漸形成。 同時，金雀花也是擁有諸多英雄男女的時代，獅心王理查是王朝的第二任國王，他率領第三次十字軍東征，與當時伊斯蘭世界最偉大的君王薩拉丁決一死戰。而理查的母親埃利諾王后也是一位奇女子，她周旋於兩位歐洲君王，亨利二世與路易七世之間，晚年甚至鼓吹兒子向老爸亨利二世造反，留下一段「老鷹被小鷹啄食的故事」。最後是懷抱遠大野心的愛德華三世，他企圖成為「英格蘭與法蘭西之王」，而發動了長達戰禍綿延百年的「英法百年戰爭」。在這部充滿勇氣、背叛、野心與詭計的史詩敘事中，丹・瓊斯重新喚起了在都鐸王朝之前那個桀驁不馴的王室。結合最新學術研究與出色的敘事能力，瓊斯生動再現了班諾克本、克雷西與斯勒伊斯等著名戰役，並揭示被詆譭的愛德華二世與理查二世如何走向滅亡。這是一個屬於騎士精神與黑死病、聖殿騎士團、議會創建，以及百年戰爭的時代；在這個時代，英格蘭的民族認同在刀劍之下被鍛造而成。金雀花三百年不只塑造了後世的英格蘭，也深深影響往後歐洲歷史的發展。

With a colorful cast of characters and a cellar full of wine, anything can happen--from murder to a second chance at love--in Jenny Elder Moke's half mystery, half romance adult debut set at a lavish destination wedding. A high-end wedding on a private island off the coast of Seattle sounds like something out of a magazine. But for bestselling mystery author Kate Valentine, it's more like a nightmare. Why Kate agreed to attend her ex-fianc?s wedding is its own enigma, but she'll plaster on a fake smile for two nights, with the aid of free champagne, naturally. And because the groom happens to be her editor, she'll try to finish a draft of her latest Loretta Starling mystery as a wedding gift. But when the bride is poisoned and Kate stumbles across a dead body, she finds herself in a real-life mystery that eerily echoes the plot of her latest novel. And the only person who seems willing to help Kate catch the killer is Jake Hawkins, aka: the Hostralian; aka: Kate's biggest romantic regr
