Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The death of Oscar Wilde in 1900 left the position of The Wittiest Man in the World open and up for grabs. There seemed no clear inheritor. Then, over the next couple of years, in the pages of the Westminster Gazette, there slowly emerged someone whose political satires and sketches of society brought the Wildean barb screaming into the new century. He was a man by the name of Hector Munro, but very few knew that. All his pieces were signed with a name now synonymous with wit - simply Saki. - 'Youth should suggest innocence.' 'But never act on the suggestion.' - 'Scandal is merely the compassionate allowance which the gay make to the humdrum.' Saki's savage sketches of society were initially centred around one character, uncannily like himself. Reginald is dangerous. Brutally honest, not interested in mediocrity or convention, he cuts a hilarious swathe through more polite circles. These 15 pieces were first collected together in 1904. - 'Her frocks are built in Paris, but she wears them with a strong English accent.' - 'The fashion just now is a Roman Catholic frame of mind with an Agnostic conscience: you get the mediaeval picturesqueness of the one with the modern conveniences of the other.' - 'I hate posterity - it's so fond of having the last word.' Saki (Hector Munro) was born in Burma in 1870. He was sent to boarding school in Devon and Bedfordshire. Following his father into the Imperial Police, he was posted back to Burma. After contracting malaria, he returned to England where his writing career blossomed. When war broke out in 1914, he refused a commission and joined up as an ordinary trooper. During the Battle of the Ancre in 1916, whilst resting in a crater, he was shot by a German sniper. His output included some of the funniest stories in the English language, as well as plays, essays and two novels.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In 'The Chaos Conundrum,' historian Aaron John Gulyas examines how the paranormal has intersected and influenced our culture in myriad ways, from the conspiracy beliefs of William Cooper and Exopolitics to the challenge that the stories of Gray Barker presented to our concept of self and time. He looks at the maelstrom of personalities, agendas, impressions, data, confusion, and contradictions that can be found in the world of the weird, and demonstrates how they have become an integral part of our lives, whether in the form of flying saucers, hauntings, religious revelations, psychic abilities, or dozens of other guises. Gulyas delves into the stories of the people who have attempted to create order out of the chaos. Along the way he recounts his own journey from enthusiastic believer in the 'shadow government' and their underground bases to jaded academic skeptic, and then finally to someone who thinks there might just be something to the paranormal after all. but not what we have been led to expect or believe!

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - It is 1415 AD. Henry V, of the House of Lancaster, is King of England. The English kings have claimed the throne of France as their birthright for generations, but the young king intends to finally make good on that claim; either by negotiation, or by force if necessary. As the last attempt at diplomacy fails, Henry and embarks on an ambitions campaign. He sets sail with a 10,000 man army to take what he believes to be rightfully his, starting with the coastal French town of Harfleur. His plans lose momentum though at the Siege of Harfleur; many of his soldiers become ill and many will never see England again. He eventually takes Harfleur after a long and bloody siege, a minor victory in a large war, but he desperately needs one more grand gesture to justify this expensive excursion into France. He comes up with a plan to embarrass the French and marches the remainder of his army across the French countryside, hoping to go unopposed through their lands to the English fortress at Calais. But on the road, only 30 miles from Calais, at a muddy field near the castle of Azincourt, he is stopped by the entire might of the French army. Henry, his 800 men-at-arms, and 5,000 peasant archers stand facing a much larger force; thousands of French nobles, in the best armor with the best weapons, are waiting for him, ready for battle.
