"The thick dust of history and change that hides the people of the Roman Empire from us,
acts for Bryher like a dark tunnel intensifying the brilliant scene beyond."--Christian Science Monitor

The war that began in 218 B.C. with Hannibal's march across the Alps is one of the familiar stories of history,
but its details are little known. A struggle between an emerging barbarian power and an old culture, it pitted a
Roman army of mostly farmers against the highly trained officers of Carthage. Hannibal's empire, founded on
her control of the sea, would lose her fight against the Romans' new methods of naval warfare. Only through
the wit of their beloved leader would the Carthaginians recover economically from the war, but internal strife
would drive Hannibal to exile and eventually to suicide.

Brilliantly evoking the world of the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War, Bryher creates a common
man's view of the greatest struggle in which ancient Rome engaged through the lives of two Greek traders.

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? Theres nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us cannot do that as much as we would llike. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. It is a common problem and it is the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did. Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
