Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The most important football book published this year -- a powerful, passionate exploration of a game in turmoil. Soccer has never been richer, more hyped or more central to Britain's culture than today. Yet never has it been in greater turmoil. Once, football was about passion, community and beauty. Today, football is about money. Its richest club, Manchester United, earned 146 million last year; yet since 1992, thirty-four of the Football League's seventy-two clubs have been insolvent. The game is in danger of losing its lifeblood -- and its soul. David Conn, the game's premier investigative journalist, sets out on a journey through the heart of English football, exploring how the national sport has failed -- and who is to blame. From top clubs in the Premiership League, all the way down to the lowest leagues, Conn interviews players, managers, agents, chairmen and fans, building up a picture of a game mired in crisis. For every all-conquering Manchester United or Chelsea, there are ten clubs in desperate straits. There are also new revelations about the Hillsborough tragedy of 1989 where ninety-six people died; on the decline and fall of Sheffield Wednesday; and on the formation of the Premier League itself, born from an influx of TV money, bitterly regretted. Yet, at its heart, soccer is a game deeply loved by millions, and this is a book for those who keep the faith, who believe that the sport itself, stripped of greed and self-interest still has values and can still be beautiful. 448 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Rumi is now acknowledged as one of the great mystical poets of the Western world, with huge sales of the many collections of his poetry. Not much is known about his life except that he lived in thirteenth-century Anatolia (now Turkey), had a great spiritual friendship with a wild man called Shams, brought an adopted daughter into his family, and was distraught when Shams finally disappeared. Rumi's Daughter is the delightful novel about Kimya, the girl who was sent from her rural village to live in Rumi's home. She already had mystical tendencies, and learned a great deal under Rumi's tutelage. Eventually she married Shams, an unusual husband, almost totally absorbed by his longings for God. Their marriage was fiery and different and, in the end, dissolved by Kimya's death - after which Shams vanished. Rumi's Daughter tells Kimya's story with great charm and tenderness. Well written and thought-provoking, it is sure to draw comparison with Paolho Coelho's The Alchemist, and also to add something fresh and new to what is so far known about Rumi.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Chuck Palahniuk's world has been, well, different from yours and mine. The pieces that comprise Non-Fiction prove just how different, in ways both highly entertaining and deeply unsettling. Encounters with alternative culture heroes Marilyn Manson and Juliette Lewis; the peculiar wages of fame attendant on the big budget film production of the movie Fight Club; life as an assembly-line drive train installer by day, hospice volunteer driver by night; the really peculiar lives of submariners; the really violent world of college wrestlers; the underground world of anabolic steroid gobblers; the harrowing circumstances of his father's murder and the trial of his killer - each essay or vignette offers a unique facet of existence as lived in and/or observed by one of America's most flagrantly daring and original literary talents.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Great War not only destroyed the lives of over twenty million soldiers and civilians, it also ushered in a century of huge political and social upheaval, led directly to the Second World War and altered for ever the mechanisms of governments. And yet its causes, both long term and immediate, have continued to be shrouded in mystery. In Europe's Last Summer, David Fromkin reveals a new pattern in the happenings of that fateful July and August, which leads in unexpected directions. Rather than one war, starting with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, he sees two conflicts, related but not inseparably linked, whose management drew Europe and the world into what The Economist described as early as 1914 as 'perhaps the greatest tragedy in human history'.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In this book, children from all around the world remember their past lives, and eminent scientists explain how many of these children's stories have been followed up to verify whether their statements have any foundation in fact. Incredibly, when subjected to scientific investigation, children's memories about their past lives can invariably be confirmed in every detail. Supported by overwhelming scientific evidence, the children's stories in this book suggest that reincarnation is a reality for us all. Whether they are from England, Europe, the USA, Lebanon, South Africa, Israel, India, Brazil, Sri Lanka, or Turkey, children who have lived before offer us insights into our global future, as well as profound messages from our collective past.
