The archaeologist Schliemann, after having discovered the ruins of Troy, goes to Greece together with his wife Sofia to carry out excavations in the ancient city of Mycenae. This magic place brought new finds and he found treasures that made his archaeological adventures unique in history. He is assisted by his faithful friends to whom were added a reckless young girl, Zirl, who gets up to all kinds of things. Between attacks by bandits, a very enjoyable (and also interesting) visit to Athens, the tale of Ulysses' voyage takes place. This time it is Sofia who relates the adventures of the great hero. And it is not clear if Ulysses' experiences or those of the reckless group of participants in this story are more fascinating.

This archaeological study of textiles and costume considers all aspects of early Anglo-Saxon clothing-how textiles were made in the early Anglo-Saxon settlements, how the cloth was fashioned into garments and the nature of the clasps and jewellery with which the clothes were worn. Drawing on the author's 38 years of experience, and a database of 3,800 finds, it includes a review of the primary evidence from 162 Anglo-Saxon cemeteries, where small fragments of the dead's clothes have been preserved with brooches, pins and necklaces. Regional styles of dress, the social and cultural meaning behind changing fashions, the role of women in textile production, and Scandinavian and Continental influences help to place the study in its broader historical and archaeological context. The volume is amply illustrated with line drawings of craft processes and reconstructions of individual costumes.

"Through an analysis of specific weaving stories, the difference between a text and a textile becomes blurred.

The award-winning author of The Four Seasons retells The Odyssey from the point of view of Odysseus and Penelope's daughter. With her father Odysseus gone for twenty years, Xanthe barricades herself in her royal chambers to escape the rapacious suitors who would abduct her to gain the throne. Xanthe turns to her loom to weave the adventures of her life, from her upbringing among servants and slaves, to the years spent in hiding with her mother's cousin, Helen of Troy, to the passion of her sexual awakening in the arms of the man she loves. And when a stranger dressed as a beggar appears at the palace, Xanthe wonders who will be the one to decide her future-a suitor she loathes, a brother she cannot respect, or a father who doesn't know she exists...
