    Ein durchkämpftes Leben. Cornelius Nepos, Hannibal
    Hannibal ante portas! So lautete der Schreckensruf, als Hannibal siegreich nach der Schlacht bei Cannae fast bis vor die Tore Roms vorgedrungen war. Doch bis dahin war es für den Karthager ein weiter Weg. Diesen Weg skizziert Cornelius Nepos in seiner Biografie eindringlich und bildreich. Nach einem kurzen Blick auf die Gattung Biografie beleuchtet die Ausgabe die wichtigsten Stationen in Hannibals Leben. Dabei wird die Sicht des Römers Nepos auf den Karthager herausgearbeitet und mit weiteren antiken und modernen Einschätzungen Hannibals in Bezug gesetzt.

    The Young Carthaginian , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 760min
    Boys reading the history of the Punic Wars have seldom a keen appreciation of the merits of the contest. That it was at first a struggle for empire, and afterwards for existence on the part of Carthage, that Hannibal was a great and skillful general, that he defeated the Romans at Trebia, Lake Trasimenus, and Cannae, and all but took Rome, represents pretty nearly the sum total of their knowledge. G.A. Henty has here woven an exciting adventure tale that will keep the young listener on the edge of his seat. Without realizing it, the listener will be learning detailed information about the Punic Wars and the political climate in which they took place. This is the perfect way to awaken interest in history in young people and encourage them to learn more. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Sutherland.

    The History of Rome, Volume 3: Books 21-25 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 878min
    The incredible saga of Hannibal and his invasion of Italy in 218 B.C. is the subject of this third volume of Livy's magnificent history. As only Livy can describe it, we are swept into the era of the Second Punic War and given a ringside view of the leadership of both sides. The stirring account of Hannibal crossing the Alps, the brutal description of Cannae, and the relentless Roman siege of Syracuse are some of the highlights of this remarkable story. Never has the undaunted courage of the Roman soldier been more fully accounted for, and never has the language of history been more dramatically set down as it has in the searing pages of Titus Livy. The Hannibalic War lives on in this mighty epic of ancient literary history. Livy's The History of Rome continues in an additional three volumes. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Alexander, Hannibal, and Julius Caesar: Three Generals Who Conquered the Ancient World: History 1-Hour Reads , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
    Of all the generals in the ancient world, none matches the accomplishments of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Hannibal of Carthage. This audiobook will look at the lives and leadership styles of these three commanders. Alexander conquered the fullest expanse of the known world and brought Europe and Asia under one sovereign. Julius Caesar was a master statesmen, capable of translating military victory into long-term political gains. His vanquishing of the Gauls and his political opponents laid the groundwork for several centuries of Roman imperial might. None could match the tactical genius of Hannibal, who threatened the destruction of Rome at the Battle of Cannae. Whatever their backgrounds, these rulers showed that the right military commander at the right time in history can destroy an empire, change civilization, and alter the course of world history forever. ungekürzt.

    Ungeschehene Geschichte
    The question "What would have happened if ..." is still seen by many historians as a useless dalliance. Alexander Demandt, however, recalls Friedrich Schiller's claim that culture unfolds only through playing games. If this is true, then it is also true for science. The playful occupation with possibilities is as important to science as controled and scheduled work according to tried and true methods.The core of this short volume consists not only of imagining and thinking up historical alternatives - what would have happened if Hitler had died in 1938? What would have happened if the Peasants' War of 1525 had succeeded? What if Pontius Pilate had set Jesus free? If Hannibal had marched on Rome after his victory at Cannae? In original and sometimes "brilliant diction" (Frank Schirrmacher, review in FAZ) Demandt points out that and how the thinking up of unrealized alternatives can be justified as part of the study of history.

    Pride of Carthage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1625min
    This epic retelling of the legendary Carthaginian military leader's assault on the Roman empire begins in Ancient Spain, where Hannibal Barca sets out with tens of thousands of soldiers and 30 elephants. After conquering the Roman city of Saguntum, Hannibal wages his campaign through the outposts of the empire, shrewdly befriending peoples disillusioned by Rome and, with dazzling tactics, outwitting the opponents who believe the land route he has chosen is impossible. Yet Hannibal's armies must take brutal losses as they pass through the Pyrenees mountains, forge the Rhone river, and make a winter crossing of the Alps before descending to the great tests at Cannae and Rome itself. David Anthony Durham draws a brilliant and complex Hannibal out of the scant historical record' - sharp, sure-footed, as nimble among rivals as on the battlefield, yet one who misses his family and longs to see his son grow to manhood. Whether portraying the deliberations of a general or the calculations of a common soldier, vast multilayered scenes of battle or moments of introspection when loss seems imminent, Durham brings history alive. ungekürzt.
