Владыка Сорока Галактик, Великий Завоеватель, Невъе... Кхм... Невъероятный Герой и Победитель из-за низкого предательства оказался помещен в тело обычного человека. Теперь его путь с самого низа на самый верх обязан быть трудным и тернистым.
И путь этот связан с некромантией и черной магией. Весьма показательный выбор для новой жизни.
А если кто вякнет против, то Владыка скажет:"Пох... Кхм... Похороны за ваш счет!"

The spectre of witchcraft is haunting the West, the dead giving up their secrets. This is a ritual unveiling of these mysteries. It is a vision and a revelation of the mytho-poetic structure of the Art. Apocalyptic Witchcraft is a bold project which does not seek to impose an orthodoxy on what is the heresy of heresies. Instead, it suggests a way forward. Apocalyptic Witchcraft gives a compelling and profound account of the Sabbat and Wild Hunt as living experiences. These are the core of our ritual practice. Dream, lunar and, critically, menstrual magic are explored as a path to this knowledge. The wolf, the Devil, and the Goddess of witchcraft are then encountered in a landscape that ultimately reveals the witch to her or himself. These are not separate threads, but arise from a deep mythic structure and are woven together into a single unifying vision. Alternating between polemic, poetic and ecstatic prose, an harmonious course is revealed in a sequence of elegant stratagems.

Triumph AT100 (Classics World)

Название: Neolithic Britain: The Transformation of Social Worlds
Автор: Julian Thomas, Keith Ray

Язык: английский / English

The Neolithic in Britain was a period of fundamental change: human communities were transformed, collectively owning domesticated plants and animals, and inhabiting a richer world of material things: timber houses and halls, pottery vessels, polished flint and stone axes, and massive monuments of earth and stone. Equally important was the development of a suite of new social practices, and an emphasis on descent, continuity and inheritance. These innovations set in train social processes that culminated with the construction of Stonehenge, the most remarkable surviving structure from prehistoric Europe. Neolithic Britain provides an up to date, concise introduction to the period of British prehistory from c. 4000-2200 BCE. Written on the basis of a new appreciation of the chronology of the period, the result reflects both on the way that archaeologists write narratives of the Neolithic, and how Neolithic people constructed histories of their own. Incorporating new insights from the extraordinary pace of archaeological discoveries in recent years, a world emerges which is unfamiliar, complex and challenging, and yet played a decisive role in forging the landscape of contemporary Britain.

События в мире РОС, но показанные если не "снизу", то "изнутри", с точки зрения нижнего слоя дворянства.
Герои живут в своей провинции, со своими провинциальными страстями в своё удовольствие. Это по большей части "Занавесочная история" (или Curtain Story, если угодно), то есть - бытописание. В "хардкорном" произведении этого стиля сюжета может вообще не быть, но такое я не потяну даже читать :)
Сюжет развивается неспешно, много "бытовухи" и повседневности. Попаданец появляется только в 10-й главе :)
Здесь не будет участия в мировых заговорах, борьбы за престол или квестов по становлению богом. Просто обычная жизнь почти простых людей в Империи со "зверскими" богами.
