The King In Yellow

2005 y.
Publisher: Wildside Press
Description: `The King in Yellow, a series of vaguely connected short stories having as a background a monstrous and suppressed book whose perusal brings fright, madness, and spectral tragedy, really achieves notable heights of cosmic fear in spite of uneven interest and a somewhat trivial and affected cultivation of the Gallic studio atmosphere made popular by Du Maurier`s Trilby. The most powerful of its tales, perhaps, is The Yellow Sign, in which is introduced a silent and terrible churchyard watchman with a face like a puffy grave-worm`s.` - from the Introduction by H.P.Lovecraft.

The King Never Smiles: A Biography of Thailand`s Bhumibol Adulyadej

2006 y.
Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: Thailand’s Bhumibol Adulyadej, the only king ever born in the United States, came to the throne of his country in 1946 and is now the world’s longest-serving monarch. The King Never Smiles, the first independent biography of Thailand`s monarch, tells the unexpected story of Bhumibol`s life and sixty-year rule—how a Western-raised boy came to be seen by his people as a living Buddha, and how a king widely seen as beneficent and apolitical could in fact be so deeply political and autocratic. Paul Handley provides an extensively researched, factual account of the king’s youth and personal development, ascent to the throne, skillful political maneuverings, and attempt to shape Thailand as a Buddhist kingdom. Handley takes full note of Bhumibol`s achievements in art, in sports and jazz, and he credits the king`s lifelong dedication to rural development and the livelihoods of his poorest subjects. But, looking beyond the widely accepted image of the king as egalitarian and virtuous,… [detailed...]

The King Of Ice Cream

2004 y.
Publisher: Five Star
Description: Set in the small university town of Mill Run, Ky., McCoy`s run-of-the-mill horror debut opens on a quiet note. In the fall of 1992, students are arriving at the University of Mill Run, which ranks `with Harvard, Duke, and Dartmouth for Business and Law studies.` The Roman Catholic university is home to the Lady of Our Sorrows Cathedral, `the third oldest church on the East Coast, with towering stained glass windows, split level seating, and even catacombs, which had been made into office space.` Truman Goodspeed`s ice cream emporium epitomizes Mill Run`s genial atmosphere, which is soon ruined by strange trucks roaring though town and a series of over-the-top calamities including murder, crucifixion, book burning and kidnapping. Wild-eyed prophets claim insight into some mysterious or forgotten God-given force, which may exist underground. Hopefully, McCoy will bring more coherence and discipline, as well as a better grasp of geography and punctuation, to the `many novels to be… [detailed...]

The King of California is the previously untold account of how a Georgiaslave-owning family migrated to California in the early 1920s, drained one of America `s biggest lakes in an act of incredible hubris and carved out the richest cotton empire in the world.

The King`s Living Image: The Culture and Politics of Viceregal Power in Colonial Mexico (New World in the Atlantic World)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: To rule their vast new American territories, the Spanish monarchs appointed viceroys in an attempt to reproduce the monarchical system of government prevailing at the time in Europe. But despite the political significance of the figure of the viceroy, little is known about the mechanisms of viceregal power and its relation to ideas of kingship. Examining this figure, The King`s Living Image challenges long-held perspectives on the political nature of Spanish colonialism, recovering, at the same time, the complexity of the political discourses and practices of Spanish rule. It does so by studying the viceregal political culture that developed in New Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the mechanisms, both formal and informal, of viceregal rule. In so doing, The King`s Living Image questions the very existence of a `colonial state` and contends that imperial power was constituted in ritual ceremonies. It also emphasizes the viceroys` significance… [detailed...]

The King`s Wife : George IV and Mrs Fitzherbert

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description One of the most extraordinary episodes in British royal history took place on 15 December 1785 when George, Prince of Wales (later Prince Regent and George IV) secretly married the beautiful, twice-widowed and Roman Catholic Maria Fitzherbert. This marriage was in breach of the Royal Marriages Act of 1772 but almost certainly valid in the eyes of the church. If it had been discovered, George might well have forfeited his claim to the throne. As it was, George and Maria lived togetherfor twenty years, and remained deeply attached, despite George`s disastrous (and probably bigamous) public marriage to Princess Caroline of Brunswick. The King`s Wife is a highly readable account of a love-match that pre-echoes the later relationship of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles. In the eyes of George IV`s own family, Maria was his real wife. [detailed...]
