Richard Elms

Mis-Adventures of Adam West: Dark Night: trade paperback

Final graphic novel with the iconic Adam West! It all comes to a close here. Mis-Adventuring through infinite imaginations and parallel universes is all very well, but the real world is calling for Adam West. Bills must be paid and pets fed, so Adam hangs up his magical amulet and returns to the now tame seeming life of a jobbing actor. Little does he know that things are about to take a turn for the apocalyptic, and the real world will be the setting for his most death deifying adventure yet!

The Crash Palace

The Crash Palace

A joy ride set on a crash course with the past. Audrey Cole has always loved to drive. Anytime, anywhere, any car: a questionable rustbucket, a family sedan, the SUV she was paid to drive around the oil fields. From the second she learned to drive, she’s always found a way to hit the road. Years ago, when she abandoned her oil field job, she found herself chauffeuring around the Lever Men, a B-list band relegated to playing empty dive bars in far-flung towns. That’s how...

Неразлучные

Симона де Бовуар

Неразлучные

Самое личное произведение Симоны де Бовуар и, вероятно, это одна из причин того, почему при жизни она так и не решилась его опубликовать. В его основу легла полная страсти и трагизма история дружбы самой Симоны и Элизабет Лакуэн по прозвищу Заза, которая, безусловно, во многом определила характер и мировоззрение писательницы. Сильви было всего девять, когда она впервые увидела Андре – миниатюрную темноволосую девочку с блестящими глазами, впалыми щеками и чернильным пятном на подбородке. С...

Typee - South Seas 1 (Unabridged)

Based on Melville's real-life experiences after having jumped ship in the Marquesas Islands, his first novel was extremely popular, provoking public skepticism until the events within were corroborated by a fellow castaway. Typee is properly considered a work of fiction, as the three weeks stay on which the author based his story is here extended to four months, and the book is supplemented with imaginative reconstruction and adaptation of material from other Pacific exploration books of...

Chosen for inclusion in William Evans Burton's Cyclopediae of Wit and Humor of 1857, with an illustration by Henry Louis Stephens, The Lightning-Rod Man was the one Melville tale to be available throughout his lifetime, thanks to reissues of this volume.

Gulliver's Travels (Unabridged)

Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms, and the brutish Yahoos give him further insight into human behavior. Presented through Swift's satiric hall of distorting mirrors, mankind is cast as diminished, magnified, and bestial-the composite of which is...

"Gottfried Fischer, seines Zeichens Bäckermeister, wohnte über Jahre im gleichen Haus wie die Familie Beethoven. Seine Erinnerungen an den jungen Komponisten wurden von der Forschung lange Zeit als unglaubwürdig abgetan – bis 2006 ein Buch von Margot Wetzstein erschien, die nachweisen konnte, dass die Aufzeichnungen der Wahrheit entsprechen. Seitdem müssen die Biographien Beethovens, was seine Kindheit und Jugend in Bonn angeht, ergänzt, wenn nicht gar umgeschrieben werden! Konrad...

Keine Gesichter (ungekürzt)

Das ist es, was wir wissen. Die, denen es schlecht geht, haben für uns keine Bedeutung, denn nie haben wir in ihre Augen gesehen. Sie sind niemand für uns, weil wir nicht wissen, wer sie sind. Was kümmert es uns schon, dass Kinder deportiert werden? Was macht es schon, wenn sie im dunkle der Zeit verschwinden? Wir haben sie nie von ihnen gehört, nicht von ihnen gewusst, sie niemals gesehen. Und doch waren sie da. Es hat sie gegeben. Auch wenn sie für uns niemand waren. Wenn sie keine Gesichter...
