In the spring of 1621, Plymouth Colony sent STEPHEN HOPKINS to make the first visit to Wampanoag sachem Massasoit to present a red horseman's coat as a gift and sign of friendship. For most ordinary Englishmen, venturing off into the depths of unexplored America would have been a once in a lifetime adventure: but not for Stephen. By the time he turned forty, he had already survived a hurricane, been shipwrecked in the Bermuda Triangle, been written into a Shakespearean play, witnessed the famine and abandonment of Jamestown Colony, and participated in the marriage of Pocahontas. He was once even sentenced to death! He got himself and his family onto the Pilgrims' Mayflower, and helped found Plymouth Colony. He signed the Mayflower Compact, lodged the famous Squanto in his house, participated in the legendary Thanksgiving, and helped guide and govern the early colonists. Yet Stephen was just an ordinary man, with a wife, three sons, seven daughters, a small house, some farmland for his corn, and cows named Motley, Sympkins, Curled, and Red. These are the extraordinary adventures of an ordinary man.

Neuware -'Mir stand beim Lesen oft der Mund offen, und jetzt, wo ich fertig bin, steht er mir immer noch offen. Das ist wie ein Mythos der Alten Griechen, in die Moderne gebeamt (und nach Niendorf).' Ulrich MatthesDas neue Buch von Heinz Strunk erzählt eine Art norddeutsches «Tod in Venedig», nur sind die Verlockungen weniger feiner Art als seinerzeit beim Kollegen aus Lübeck. Ein bürgerlicher Held, ein Jurist und Schriftsteller namens Roth, begibt sich für eine längere Auszeit nach Niendorf: Er will ein wichtiges Buch schreiben, eine Abrechnung mit seiner Familie. Am mit Bedacht gewählten Ort - im kleinbürgerlichen Ostseebad wird er seinesgleichen nicht so leicht über den Weg laufen - gerät er aber bald in die Fänge eines trotz seiner penetranten Banalität dämonischen Geists: ein Strandkorbverleiher, der Mann ist außerdem Besitzer des örtlichen Spirituosengeschäfts. Aus Befremden und Belästigtsein wird nach und nach Zufallsgemeinschaft und irgendwann Notwendigkeit. Als Dritte stößt die Freundin des Schnapshändlers hinzu, in jeder Hinsicht eine Nicht-Traumfrau - eigentlich. Und am Ende dieser Sommergeschichte ist Roth seiner alten Welt komplett abhandengekommen, ist er ein ganz anderer .Seine Romane «Es ist immer so schön mit dir» und «Ein Sommer in Niendorf» waren für den Deutschen Buchpreis nominiert. 240 pp. Deutsch

IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT AND ERNIE BOWLES IS STEPPING OUT--TO DIE.Ernie's big fantasy is that his blind date with a blonde divorcee will end with the two of them back at the farm, cozily shacked up. Alas, Sunday morning finds Ernie on the cold kitchen floor, all alone and strangled.A simple case of kiss-and-kill? Perhaps, but Inspector Stephen Ramsay can find no one in the entire village who liked the man, certainly not the young couple who rent his caravan nor the respectable folk on the adjoining farm. Another strangling--the even more puzzling murder of quiet housewife Val McDougal--compounds the confusion, leading Ramsay to the local center for alternative healing, where both victims were well known.Meanwhile, a murderer quietly observes the hunt, as Ramsay pursues a case in which the astonishing finale will catch even the canniest reader by the throat...

Im Sommer 1964 fand der erste Formel 1-Weltmeisterschaftslauf auf osterreichischem Boden statt. Zum Jubilaum 2014 kehrt die Formel 1 ins Land zuruck und wird auf dem neugestalteten Red Bull Ring ausgetragen. Begonnen hat alles in den 1950er-Jahren mit den Flugplatzrennen in Aspern und Zeltweg: Die Organisation lag in den Handen kleiner Automobil-Clubs und wurde von der Motorsportbegeisterung der Mitglieder getragen. Die spateren Weltmeister Jochen Rindt und Niki Lauda sammelten dort erste Erfahrungen. Martin Pfundner, als Initiator der Flugplatzrennen ein Kenner der ersten Stunde, setzt diesen Rennen ein Denkmal und schreibt die Geschichte der Formel 1 bis zur jungsten Entwicklung fort.

Excerpt from Vorlesungen Über die Theorie der Elliptischen Modulfunctionen, Vol. 1: Grundlegung der TheorieSo wandte sich Hr. Klein im Herbst 1887 an den Unterzeichneten mit der Aufforderung, das Geplante zur Wirklichkeit zu gestalten. Ich hatte mich bereits im Sommer 1887 wiederholt mit der Absicht getragen, bei Hrn. Klein einen hierauf bezüglichen Vorschlag zu machen, und kam jetzt der geschehenen Aufforderung um so unbedenklicher nach, als ich ja der kräftigsten Unterstützung meines hochverehrten Lehrers sicher sein durfte. Wenn ich übrigens auch bei der nun folgenden Entwicklungsphase des vorliegenden Werkes mit Ausführ lichkeit verweile, so fühle ich mich dazu um so mehr berechtigt, als es für mich eine nahezu dreijährige ununterbrochene Arbeit gekostet hat, um aus den mir zur Verfügung stehenden Hülfsmitteln diesen ersten Band zu gestalten.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Neuware - Ein vergessenes Meisterwerk, das es zu entdecken gilt, ein einmaliges Zeitzeugnis: »Als die Zeit stillstand«, das bewegende Tagebuch des großen Schriftstellers und Journalisten Léon Werth aus dem besetzten Frankreich zur Zeit des Vichy-Regimes der Jahre 1940 bis 1944. Im Sommer 1940 besetzen die Deutschen Paris. Der französische Publizist und Kritiker Léon Werth, jüdischer Herkunft, Pazifist und Antikolonialist, flieht und versteckt sich in einem Dorf im Jura. Flüchtlinge und Dorfbewohner leben hier zusammen, begierig auf Nachrichten, abgekapselt und doch ganz nah am Geschehen.Frankreich ist im Innersten gespalten, Republik und Demokratie sind bedroht, Nationalisten begrüßen den deutschen Sieg. Léon Werth schildert diesen Kosmos in seinem einzigartigen Tagebuch. Eine Welt zwischen Angst und Hoffnung, in der die Menschen ihren Weg suchen, sich aufgeben, kollaborieren oder an einer Zivilisation festhalten, die zutiefst bedroht ist.Werths zeitlose Einsichten in menschliches Denken und Handeln in einer verstörenden Zeit sind ein Meisterwerk der Literatur und ein visionäres Vermächtnis.Mit einem Vorwort von Georges-Arthur Goldschmidt, der herausstreicht, wie aktuell Léon Werths Gedanken immer noch sind: Denn wie damals stellt sich auch heute wieder die Frage, wie man sich als Mensch in einem Land verhalten kann, in dem Freiheit und Demokratie gefährdet sind.»Ein bewundernswertes historisches Dokument. Ich kenne keines, das wertvoller wäre.«Lucien Febvre

From 1936 to 1939, the eyes of the world were fixed on the devastating Spanish conflict that drew both professional war correspondents and great writers. Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Josephine Herbst, Martha Gellhorn, W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender, Kim Philby, George Orwell, Arthur Koestler, Cyril Connolly, André Malraux, Antoine de Saint Exupéry, and others wrote eloquently about the horrors they saw firsthand. Together, with many great and now largely forgotten journalists, they put their lives on the line, discarding professionally dispassionate approaches and keenly espousing the cause of the partisans. Facing censorship, they fought to expose the complacency with which the decision-makers of the West were appeasing Hitler and Mussolini. Many campaigned for the lifting of non-intervention, revealing the extent to which the Spanish Republic had been betrayed. Peter Preston’s exhilarating account illuminates the moment when war correspondence came of age.

Viv Graham and Lee Duffy led parallel lives as pub and club enforcers, raging their gangland turf wars with a fierce frenzy of brutality and unremitting cruelty. This frank and astonishing underworld authority Stephen Richards is a riveting double portrait of two of the North East's most feared men whose bloody rivalry was cut short when they each met horrifically violent ends. With a frightening capacity for extreme violence, Tyneside protection hardman Viv struck fear into the hearts of his enemies, yet his benevolence to local charities and schemes to keep kids away from drugs and crime was well known. Teeside drugs enforcer Lee Duffy had half his foot shot off in an assassination attempt and his skull beaten with a crowbar, but his streetwise instinct was unmatched. With unprecedented access to friends, family, and associates, Stephen Richards dispels many of the myths surrounding these legendary figures.

The exploits of the 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) have been long overshadowed by those of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, who were immortalized in Stephen Ambrose's book Band of Brothers. Yet the actions of the 3rd Battalion were every bit as incredible and this book finally gives them deserved attention. Formed in 1942, the 506th PIR were shortly after attached to the 101st Airborne Division. After training they were transported to Wiltshire in 1943 to prepare for the invasion of Europe. Whilst taking part in the D-Day landings, the battalion suffered many immediate casualties, including the battalion commander. This is the astounding story of how the surviving paratroopers fought on towards their objectives against horrendous odds, told in their own words, and those of the French civilians who witnessed the Normandy campaign. Through many hours of interviews, and in-depth research, the authors have pieced together the perspectives of the soldiers to create a unique, comprehensive account. Including a foreword by Ed Shames, veteran of the 3rd Battalion, and illustrated with black and white photographs and maps throughout, this book vividly details the experiences of the 3rd battalion from training through to D-Day and beyond.
