Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age, The Prose Edda is the source of most of what we know of Norse mythology. Its tales are peopled by giants, dwarves, and elves, superhuman heroes and indomitable warrior queens. Its gods live with the tragic knowledge of their own impending destruction in the cataclysmic battle of Ragnarok. Its time scale spans the eons from the world's creation to its violent end. This robust new translation captures the magisterial sweep and startling psychological complexity of the Old Icelandic original.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The best portrait of rural life in England' Roger Deakin'Exquisite' John Updike'The finest contemporary writer on the English countryside' ObserverRonald Blythe's perceptive and vivid evocation of the rural Suffolk he had known since childhood was acclaimed as an instant classic when it was published in 1969. It reverberates with the voices of the village inhabitants, from the reminiscences of survivors of the Great War evoking days gone by, to the concerns of a younger generation of farm-workers and the fascinating and personal recollections of, among others, the local schoolteacher, doctor, blacksmith, saddler, district nurse and magistrate. Providing insights into the land, education, welfare, class, religion and death, Akenfield forms a unique document of a way of life that has, in many ways, disappeared. 288 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - One of the most powerful short-story writers of the twentieth century, Isaac Babel expressed his sense of inner conflict through disturbing tales that explored the contradictions of Russian society. Whether reflecting on anti-Semitism in stories such as 'Story of My Dovecote' and 'First Love,' or depicting Jewish gangsters in his native Odessa, Babel's eye for the comical laid bare the ironies of history. His masterpiece, 'Red Cavalry,' set in the Soviet-Polish war, is one of the classics of modern fiction. By turns flamboyant and restrained, this collection of Babel's best-known stories vividly expresses the horrors of his age. This translation is based on the complete, original text taken from an unexpurgated Russian edition.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'A lady decidedly. Fast perhaps. Original undoubtedly. Worth knowing rather.' Daring and dynamic, the 'new woman' came to represent the very spirit of the age. The stories in this anthology take up this phenomenon and examine society through the eyes of the new woman, as she encountered new choices in marriage, motherhood, work and love. Women Who Did charts a rebellion that was social, sexual and literary. It tells the stories of competing voices-of the men and women who entered into the fray of the fin de siècle, and were not afraid to confront, challenge or delight in the irrepressible New, in an irrepressibly new form, the short story.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Von der Absurdität des Krieges und von den erstaunlichen Kapriolen der Kolonialmächte handelt das erste Sachbuch des Autors Giles Foden. Es liest sich wie ein Roman, ist aber die wahre Geschichte vom bizarren Kampf der Engländer mit den Deutschen um den Tanganjikasee im Jahr 1915, die wahre Geschichte der'African Queen'. Mit zwei Motorbooten und einer bunt zusammengewürfelten Truppe von achtundzwanzig Männern begibt sich der exzentrische Commander Spicer-Simson im Auftrag der britischen Royal Navy nach Afrika, um die Deutschen vom Tanganjikasee zu vertreiben. Es wird eine mühselige Reise und ein schier hoffnungsloses Unterfangen, aber trotz aller Widrigkeiten geben die Engländer nicht so leicht auf.
