The Mysterious Death of Tutankhamun: Re-Opening the Case of Egypt`s Boy-King

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEgypt?s most famous king died at the age of eighteen, and in the three thousand years since his death, the fabulous treasure buried with the young ruler has become as famous as his name. It has long been assumed that Tutankhamun diedof natural causes, yet his hurried burial, first in a virtually unmarked grave, suggests there may have been an attempt, or plot, to conceal the evidence of fatal head wounds. Behind King Tut?s calm death mask, Doherty uncovers a turbulent tale of bloody intrigues at the Egyptian court, most of them pointing to the possibility of murder. The powerful cabal that ran the court and governed the country might have had young Tutankhamun assassinated, or he might have been killed at the instruction of theimperious first minister, Ay, who sought to seize the pharaonic crown for himself. And what role did the beautiful Ankhesenamun, Ay?s granddaughter and Tutankhamun?s queen, play in the labyrinthine courtly scheming? Coupling… [detailed...]

The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Yambo, a sixtyish rare-book dealer who lives in Milan, has suffered a loss of memory-he can remember the plot of every book he has ever read, every line of poetry, but he no longer knows his own name, doesn`t recognize his wife or his daughters, and remembers nothing about his parents or his childhood. In an effort to retrieve his past, he withdraws to the family home somewhere in the hills between Milan and Turin.There, in the sprawling attic, he searches through boxes of old newspapers, comics, records, photo albums, and adolescent diaries. And so Yambo relives the story of his generation: Mussolini, Catholic education and guilt, Josephine Baker, Flash Gordon, Fred Astaire. His memories run wild, and the life racing before his eyes takes the form of a graphic novel. Yambo struggles through the frames to capture one simple, innocent image: that of his first love. A fascinating, abundant new novel-wide-ranging, nostalgic, funny, full of heart-from the incomparable Eco. … [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Resurrecting a lost hero of the Civil War, The Mysterious Private Thompson tells the remarkable story of one heroic woman who defied convention in nineteenth-century America to live, work, and defend her country at a time of war, when most women were restricted to home and hearth. Sarah Emma Edmonds was a young Canadian woman who adopted the guise of a man to escape an arranged marriage at seventeen. For two years, living as Franklin Thompson, she enjoyed the freedoms that men enjoyed, traveling the country at will as a successful book salesman. In 1861, President Lincoln asked for 75,000 volunteers to suppress the `rebellion.` Most of Franklin Thompson`s friends would answer the call. For Thompson, the question was more complicated -- but she didn`t hesitate before enlisting in the Second Michigan Infantry at nineteen years old. In The Mysterious Private Thompson, acclaimed author Laura Leedy Gansler uncovers the courageous life of the only… [detailed...]

Mark Twain
The Mysterious Stranger Manuscripts

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSix years after Mark Twain`s death, Albert Bigelow Paine, the author`s literary executor, brought out a bowdlerized edition of The Mysterious Stranger, which he patched together from Mark Twain`s three unfinished manuscripts, produced, Paine asserted, during a period of supposed creative paralysis. Scholars have since discovered that Paine`s edition of the book was largely based on the earliest of those three versions, onto which Paine then grafted the final chapter of the last version. Indeed, Paine changed so many of the book`s essentials that it cannot be said to accurately reflect the author`s mood and thought at all. Gibson`s volume, first published in 1969 and now back in print, presented the manuscripts for the first time exactly as Mark Twain wrote them. Here the reader is offered a glimpse of Mark Twain`s creative process on what many critics consider the finest fiction of his later years. While the work was begun in 1897 and revised first in 1902… [detailed...]

The Mystery of Edwin Drood &, Other Stories

2005 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: Dickens`s final novel, left unfinished at his death in 1870, is a mystery story much influenced by the `Sensation Novel` as written by his friend Wilkie Collins. The action takes place in an ancient cathedral city and in some of the darkest places in Victorian London. Drugs, disappearances, sexual obsession, disguise and a possible murder are among the themes. A sombre and menacing atmosphere, a fascinating range of characters and Dickens`s usual superb command of language combine to make this an exciting and tantalising story. Also included in this volume are a number of unjustly neglected stories and sketches, with subjects as different as murder and guilt and childhood romance. This unusual selection illustrates Dickens`s immense creativity and versatility. Издание на английском языке. [detailed...]

Description: Introducing the concept of the interactive field, Nathan Schwartz-Salant shows how the states of mind that can secretly undermine our relationships, both private and public, can become positive factors in transforming a relationship when brought to consciousness. Drawing on the insights of the ancient art of alchemy, the author explains how a transformative process can be set in motion once one can recognize and enter the field which exists between partners in a relationship. This `third field,` an area which is a focus of imagination for both people, is not only a repository of subjectivities, but contains an objective character as well. The process of exploring this area can lead then to a personal growth which is capable of enriching all relationships. [detailed...]

Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)
Description: Hitler admired her for her `cosmopolitan sophistication,` but Olga Chekhova, niece of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, was far too pragmatic to lose herself to the charms of a powerful man. Drawing on numerous interviews, articles and books, Beevor (Stalingrad) concludes that the great icon of Nazi cinema never forgot where she came from and worked as a Soviet agent while reaping the rewards of stardom under the Third Reich. Chekhova, a Russian of German descent, could not help but see the benefits of serving the motherland. As an emigree in Berlin, she was already held suspect by the Soviets and hoped her spying for them would result in favorable treatment of her family in Moscow. Recruited by her brother, Lev, a Soviet composer, Chekhova became a friend and confidante to men like Goebbels, while serving Stalin by gauging Germany’s interest in war against Russia. An accomplished documentarian, Beevor has written an absorbing and expansive story, not just of an actress/spy, but of… [detailed...]
