Book Description
"When the Communists took over Czechoslovakia in 1948. Teige was first hailed as a progressive, then denounced for not toeing the party line - even though he was never a card-carrying member of the Communist Party. He died a broken man, forbidden to speak out or to publish. Since the recovery of his work after the "velvet revolution" of 1989, his legacy has been revived not only in Prague but also in Western Europe and the United States."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Brought to you by the minds at Penmen Elite and based on the dark short story poems of Heinrich Hoffmann, the epic adventure of enfant TERRIBLE centers around nine young children who fight to find their way back home after being abducted from their homes by a mysterious force. Pulled into a warped version of their own town, Stadt Von Toten Kindern, the children soon find themselves face-to-face with an enigmatic boy named Struwwelpeter who convinces them to embrace their new-found freedom the unruly town has to offer. Betsy Braun Krause, a 12 year old girl who has long been tormented by the disappearance of her older brother, is immediately befriended by Struwwelpeter who sweeps her up by his strange sense of humor and boyish charm. She soon discovers, however, that there is more to this strange boy than he is letting on. While facing one of her lifelong fears, Betsy is separated from her six year old brother, Conrad, who disappears into the dark, dead forest and is ruthlessly hunted down by a sinister creature. Driven by fear and her desire to save her younger brother, Betsy travels through strange and evil lands to uncover the dark truth about Struwwelpeter, the evil that brought them here and the secret motivation behind it all.

Author: John G. Gallaher Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press ISBN: 9780806138756 Category : Biography & Autobiography Languages : en Pages : 388
Book Description
A dedicated career soldier and excellent division and corps commander, Dominique Vandamme was a thorn in the side of practically every officer he served. Outspoken to a fault, he even criticized Napoleon, whom he never forgave for not appointing him marshal. His military prowess so impressed the emperor, however, that he returned Vandamme to command time and again. In this first book-length study of Vandamme in English, John G. Gallaher traces the career of one of Napoleon's most successful midrank officers. He describes Vandamme's rise from a provincial youth with neither fortune nor influence to an officer of the highest rank in the French army. Gallaher thus offers a rare look at a Napoleonic general who served for twenty-five years during the wars of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Empire. This was a time when a general could lose his head if he lost a battle. Despite Vandamme's contentious nature, Gallaher shows, Napoleon needed his skills as a commander, and Vandamme needed Napoleon to further his career. Gallaher draws on a wealth of archival sources in France--notably the Vandamme Papers in Lille--to draw a full portrait of the general. He also reveals new information on such military events as the Silesian campaign of 1807 and the disaster at Kulm in 1813. Gallaher presents Vandamme in the context of the Napoleonic command system, revealing how he related to both subordinates and superiors. Napoleon's Enfant Terrible depicts an officer who was his own worst enemy but who was instrumental in winning an empire.

Book Description
A novel is a story, a collection of experiences transmitted from the mind of one to the mind of another. It offers a way to unwind, a way to focus, a way to learn about life—distraction, entertainment, and diversion. But it can also be something much more powerful. When read at the right time in your life, a novel can—quite literally—change it. The Novel Cure is a reminder of that power. To create this apothecary, the authors have trawled through two thousand years of literature for the most brilliant minds and engrossing reads. Structured like a reference book, it allows readers to simply look up their ailment, whether it be agoraphobia, boredom, or midlife crisis, then they are given the name of a novel to read as the antidote.
