Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 260 pages. 260 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/4" 6") bound in original publisher's quarter black paper with dull gilt to spine over black boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Midway through this hilarious tale, the narrator, a short, inventive homeless man named Jan Moro, tells how two men chased him from his hut at the state fairgrounds in Indianapolis: ``One of them only has seven toes and he works for a guy who microwaves puppies to death and trains dogs to fight pigs.'' Although he has no street address, Jan considers himself an entrepreneur, as distinguished from ``homeless riffraff.'' He keeps himself presentable, hangs out in hotel lobbies, believes loitering in bus stations to be great spectator sport and has hidey-holes all around town, one with a gun and three bullets that he won in a poker game. The appealing and unusual hero has a steady stream of ``great ideas'' like a ``slow-release deodorant'' for clothes instead of the body. How Jan, aka Clarence Starch Jr., gets tangled up in the dog-and-hog business, how he strikes up an acquaintance with Billy Cigar, the desperado who owns the Linger Longer Lounge, and how he attempts to con the police who pay him to be a snitch add up to a story that will keep readers in stitches. This could (should) be the title that brings Lewin ( Called by a Panther ) a long-deserved larger audience. Condition: Remainder mark on head end pages. DW head corners rubbed.…

Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth over blue boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Long Creek wasn't exactly the ideal spot to spend Thanksgiving weekend. Hard times had turned Hill County's once-thriving mill towns into poor, isolated, angry little hamlets. Yet Richard Brokaw, the wealthy cable television entrepreneur, had chosen to make his home there. And now his nine-year-old son, Jamie, has been brutally kidnapped. The Bessemer Gazette hastily dispatches a veteran reporter to cover the story. But when he dies in what appears to be a drunk-driving accident, Executive Editor Will Shafer is called out of the warmth of a family holiday. With his reportorial skills rusty from long disuse, he is plunged into the bitter cold of an upstate New York winter, into the desperate search for a missing boy, and the baffling circumstances of a mentor's death. Obsessed by elusive inconsistencies, following fragile threads that are cut short by yet another fatal accident, Shafer is stonewalled by hostile local police even as an old friend, an FBI agent, draws him into the center of the kidnapping investigation. As the two join forces to ferret out clues in the ransom notes, the readiness of the child's father to meet the kidnappers' rising demands raises disturbing questions. Is money really the issue? Do impoverished neighbors resent the wealthy man living in their midst? Or is the kidnapping yet another vicious tactic in the Brokaws' bitter divorce and custody battle? The facts continue to confound Shafer and as the search intensifies, Jamie's harrowing ordeal takes a terrifying new twist. Deep in the snowbound wilderness, Jamie is delivered from his abductors into the hands of a man tormented by tragic memories.a man who may be even less willing to let him go. And, as events build to an explosive climax, Will Shafer - with far more at stake than an exclusive story - crosses the line between journalistic objectivity and deadly danger to discover just how far he will go.just how much he will risk to track down the chilling truth behind the kidnapping and corner a savage killer.

Series: Seagull library of German literature This translation originally published: 2011: Maillart, Ella, 1903-1997 - "In June 1939, Annemarie Schwarzenbach and fellow writer Ella Maillart set out from Geneva in a Ford, heading for Afghanistan. This first women to travel Afghanistan's Northern Road, they fled the storm brewing in Europe to seek a place untouched by what they considered to be Western neuroses. The Afghan journey documented in [the book] is one of the most important episodes of Schwarzenbach's turbulent life. Her incisive, lyrical essays offer a unique glimpse of an Aghanistan already touched by the 'fateful laws knows as progress', a remote yet 'sensitive nerve centre of world politics' caught amid great powers in upheaval. In her writings, Schwarzenbach conjures up the desolate beauty of landscapes both internal and external, reflecting on the longings and loneliness of travel as well as its grace. Maillart's account of their trip, The Cruel Way, stands as a classic of travel literature, and now available for the first time in English, Schwarzenbach's memoir rounds out the story of the adventure." - CONTENTS: Balkan borders -- Therapia --Trebizond: farewell to the sea -- Mount Ararat -- The steppe -- The prisoners -- No man's land: between Persia and Afghanistan -- Herat, 1 August 1939 . -- The Hindu Kush three times -- In the garden of the beautiful girls of Qaisar -- The women of Kabul -- The neighbouring village -- The bank of the Oxus -- The potters of Istalif -- The trip to Ghazni -- Two women alone in Afghanistan -- Chehel Sotun -- Onward to Peshawar . -- Aden, a morning vision -- The trip down the Suez Canal -- Afterword: 'My existence in the exile of distant adventure.'.
