Steve Harris - The Lost Boys of Mr Dickens краткое содержание
As engrossing as a novel, this story of the death of childhood in the cradle of the world's mightiest empire, and the atmospheric tale of crime and punishment leading to a sensational murder trial is from another time but implicitly raises questions which remain with us today.<br />Steve Harris' book humanises a most bizarre social experiment and brings out its grotesqueness in dramatic form. The tale is so comprehensively and authentically written that it is a service to Australian and British readers.<br />– Tom Keneally, winner of the Booker Prize and Miles Franklin Award

The engrossing real life story of how Queen Victoria's favourite son, Prince Alfred, undertook the most ambitious Royal tour, only for Australia's overwhelming joy of having the first Royal on its shores jolted by his decadent behaviour, then shocked by an attempted assassination by a man trained as a priest.<br /> <br />The British Empire's youngest and most distant outpost found itself at the epicentre of a new crime and empirical fears about the first...
The story of a young convict, Solomon Blay, who became Her Majesty's hangman in Van Diemen's Land; the man who personally had to deliver an Empire's judgment on 200 men and women, and endured his own noose of personal demons and demonisation in order to "survive"; all in the context of the great struggles of good-evil, life-death, hope-despair, which drew the attention of Darwin, Twain, Trollope and Dickens as Van Diemen's Land evolved from a Hades of Evil...
"Forgive state poet #289-128 / for not scribbling illusions / of trickery as if timeless hell / could be captured by stanzas / alliteration or slant rhyme," remarks the speaker, Maryland Department of Corrections prisoner {#289-128}, early in this haunting collection. Three sections – {#289-128} Property of the State, {#289-128} Poet-in-Residence (Cell 23), and {#289-128} Poet in New York – frame the countless ways in which the narrator's body and life are socially and legally rendered...
Die Rückabwicklung der sog. Bauträger-Altfälle nach dem Urteil des BFH vom 22.08.2013 (Az. V R 37/10) hat in den letzten Jahren sowohl Rechtsprechung als auch Literatur in höchstem Maße beschäftigt. Die entstandenen Problemfelder sind gekennzeichnet durch vielfältige Konflikte zwischen fiskalischen Interessen und dem dringenden Wunsch nach Rechtssicherheit auf Seiten der Baubranche. Trotz hoher praktischer Relevanz erfolgte bislang keine umfassende Aufarbeitung der insolvenzrechtlichen...
