About the Book Italy's history is discussed in numerous texts. The ancient Greeks, Etruscans and Celts all established settlements in Italy, but the Italic tribe called the Latins formed the city of Rome as a Kingdom, which eventually became a Republic that united all of Italy by the third century BC. The Roman Empire eventually emerged as the dominant power of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea due to the military victories of generals such as Scipio, Aemilius Paullus, Scipio Aemilianus, Gaius Marius, Lucius Sulla, Pompey and Julius Caesar. However, the Western Roman Empire collapsed due to barbarian invasions in 476, when Odoacer deposed Romulus Augustus. Subsequently, the Italian peninsula was conquered by the Goths, the Byzantines and the Lombards, until Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne Holy Roman Emperor in 800 in Rome. The crusades launched by Pope Urban II and his successors boosted economic activity, causing the European economy to shift from agriculture to trade, which resulted in the banking industry and the first universities to appear in the west. During the Renaissance, Italy was at the forefront of philosophy, art, science and exploration, producing outstanding figures such as Leonardo, Dante, Giotto, Marco Polo, Machiavelli, Michelangelo, Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, and Galileo. After the Holy League fended off Ottoman expansion, parts of Italy came under Napoleonic and Hapsburg control. Also in this Book Ancient Greek drama flourished from 700 BC, particularly in Athens, where it was incorporated in a festival called the Dionysia, honouring the god Dionysus. There emerged the tragedy (late 500 BC), the comedy (490 BC), and the satyr play. Theater also came to occupy an important component of Roman society, as it became the primary means through which political emotions could be expressed during the republican and imperial periods. Works by Plautus, Terence, and Seneca the Younger survive to this day. Medieval drama refers to the period between the fall of the Western Roman Empire (5th century A.D.) and the Renaissance beginning in the 15th century A.D., and includes genres such as liturgical drama, mystery plays, morality plays, farces and masques.And in this Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Excerpt: ...these little birds back again flew, Fal de ral-al de ral-laddy. The other came after and then there were two, Fal de ral-al de ral-laddy. Says one to the other: "Pray, how do you do?" Fal de ral-al de ral-laddy. "Very well, thank you, and pray how are you?" Fal de ral-al de ral-laddy. 55 Bye, Baby bunting, Father's gone a-hunting, Mother's gone a-milking, Sister's gone a-silking, And Brother's gone to buy a skin To wrap the Baby bunting in. 56 Little Polly Flinders Sat among the cinders Warming her pretty little toes; Her mother came and caught her, Whipped her little daughter For spoiling her nice new clothes. 57 Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig, and away he run; The pig was eat, And Tom was beat, And Tom ran crying down the street. 58 Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water; Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. 59 A dillar, a dollar, A ten o'clock scholar; What makes you come so soon? You used to come at ten o'clock, But now you come at noon! 60 Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been? I've been to London to see the Queen. Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there? I frightened a little mouse under the chair. 61 Pat a cake, pat a cake, Baker's man; So I do, master, as fast as I can. Pat it and prick it and mark it with T, And then it will serve for Tommy and me. 62 Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn, The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn. What! Is this the way you mind your sheep, Under the haycock fast asleep? 63 There was an old woman tossed in a blanket Seventeen times as high as the moon; But where she was going no mortal could tell, For under her arm she carried a broom. "Old woman, old woman, old woman," said I, "Whither, ah whither, ah whither so high?" To sweep the cobwebs from the sky, And I'll be with you by and by." 64 Cold and raw the north winds blow Bleak in the morning early, All the hills are covered with snow, And winter's now come fairly. 65 The man in the moon...
