Mario Puzo
The Sicilian

1984 y.
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Description: After Mario Puzo wrote his internationally acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated but never equaled. Puzo`s classic novel The Sicilian stands as a cornerstone of his work-a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of bloodshed, justice, and treachery. The year is 1950. Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his exile in Sicily. The Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a young Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Guiliano back with him to America. But Guiliano is a man caught in a bloody web of violence and vendettas. In Sicily, Guiliano is a modern-day Robin Hood who has defied corruption-and defied the Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient ruins, Michael Corleone`s fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of Salvatore Guiliano: warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano. ‘ормат: 10,5 см x 17,5 см.

Description: `This Book gives a fascinating account of a connection with the Otherworld. It is an encouragement for all of us to change our ways and expand more deeply into the immediate world around us and into the universe, thereby helping ourselves and the planet. It has the touch of reality that gives true meaning to it.` Dorothy Maclean Author of To Hear the Angels Sing, To Honor the Earth, Seeds of Inspiration and others. `I recommend this book highly to anyone wishing to explore contact with the living faery realm. This is not a whimsical or fantastical book, but a valid account based on one man`s actual experience. Furthermore, it comes from a scholar and author deeply rooted in Celtic and Arthurian tradition, who is able to make firm and positive connections with the ancestral traditions of the West, thus we can trust that he is not inventing `Celtic` material, as so many modern writers do for sentimental or commercial reasons, toЕ [detailed...]

The Siege of Leningrad 1941-1944: 900 Days of Terror

2004 y.
Publisher: Cassell
Description: The siege of Leningrad from 1941 to 1944 was one of the epics of world history. For three years the people of the city endured the terrors of the German Army and by their resilience placed a fatal block on Hitler`s ambitions to rule Europe. More German troops and civilians were involved than in any other siege operation. They shelled, bombed and starved the Russians to reduce the defences and break the morale of the population. `The Siege of Leningrad` is the story of heroism and tragedy on a vast scale, as the Soviets frantically tried to keep the city supplied and the Germans did everything in their power to annihilate it. And as the siege wore on the steadily increasing privations killed thousands of citizens: nearly 4,000 Leningraders starved to death on Christmas Day 1941 alone. This is a compelling account of one of the pivotal actions of World War II. ‘ормат: 13 см x 19,5 см. [detailed...]

Walter Scott, J. H. Alexander, Graham Tulloch, Judith King
The Siege of Malta and Bizarro

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: The Siege of Malta is one of Scott`s most moving works. The story of the Siege itself is remarkable, with its combination of individual defeat and group survival against overwhelming odds. It had been part of Scott`s mental furniture from his early days, and it acquires a new and powerful resonance when remembered alongside his then-failing health. To read it is an enlarging experience, which anyone at all interested in Scott should share. The incomplete narrative of Bizarro is also a fascinating document from the end of Scott`s life. In it he returns to the figure of the bandit/outlaw which had intrigued him all his life and had played such an important part in two of his greatest novels, in the persons of Rob Roy himself in Rob Roy and Robin Hood in Ivanhoe. * The only available editions of these two works by Scott* Provides reading texts that remain broadly faithful to the manuscripts, but tidying them up in the way that the original intermediaries might have been expected to do*Е [detailed...]

Description: It was an epidemic. It was a plague that shocked both those who got it and those who did not. It was coined `the white sickness.` For inexplicable reasons, random citizens became blind, and the sickness was believed to be contagious. Instead of teaching people to manage their disability, the government rounded up the newly-blind and caged them like animals. The quarantine facilities had no organization, no plumbing, no electricity, and no law and order. Both the blind and the seeing were terrified. When the crisis subsided, the officials in charge were tried for their role in the inhumane treatment of the citizens, they were acquitted. One vigilante group is not satisfied with the verdict. Calling themselves the Cellmates, they kidnap seven people and hold them hostage-keeping them blinded so they can experience the same fears as those who were blinded in the plague.

The Sight of Death: An Experiment in Art Writing

2006 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Why do we find ourselves returning to certain pictures time and again? What is it we are looking for? How does our understanding of an image change over time? In his latest book T. J. Clark addresses these questionsЧand many moreЧin ways that steer art writing into new territory. In early 2000 two extraordinary paintings by Poussin hung in the Getty Museum in a single room, Landscape with a Man Killed by a Snake (National Gallery, London) and the Getty`s own Landscape with a Calm . Clark found himself returning to the gallery to look at these paintings morning after morning, and almost involuntarily he began to record his shifting responses in a notebook. The result is a riveting analysis of the two landscapes and their different views of life and death, but more, a chronicle of an investigation into the very nature of visual complexity.

The Sign of the Burger: McDonald`s and the Culture of Power (Labor in Crisis)

Ч y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: `I didn`t want to remain a hick from the mountainsЕ In my cultural naivete I saw McDonald`s as a place somehow where modern culture capital could be dispensed. Keeping these memories in mind as years later I monitored scores of conversations about the Golden Arches in the late 1990`s, it became apparent that McDonald`s is still considered a marker of a modern identity.` So begins a complicated journey into the power of one of the most recognizable signs of American capitalism: The Golden Arches. The Sign of the Burger examines how McDonald`s captures our imagination: as a shorthand for explaining the power of American culture, as a symbol of the strength of consumerism, as a bellwether for the condition of labor in a globalized economy, and often, for better or worse, a powerful educational tool that often defines the nature of culture for hundreds of millions the world over. While many books have offered simple complaints of the power of McDonald`s, Joe Kincheloe exploresЕ [detailed...]

Description: The Silence of Barbara Synge is a unique work of cultural enquiry, combining archival research, literary criticism, and religious and medical history to pull the strands together and relate them to the family`s literary descendent J.M.
