Описание: The renowned and illustrious tales of King Arthur, his knights and the Round Table pervade all European vernaculars, as well as the Latin tradition. Arthurian narrative material, which had originally been transmitted in oral culture, began to be inscribed regularly in the twelfth century, developing from (pseudo-)historical beginnings in the Latin chronicles of "historians" such as Geoffrey of Monmouth into masterful literary works like the romances of Chr tien de Troyes. Evidently a big hit, Arthur found himself being swiftly translated, adapted and integrated into the literary traditions of almost every European vernacular during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This Handbook seeks to showcase the European character of Arthurian romance both past and present.By working across national philological boundaries, which in the past have tended to segregate the study of Arthurian romance according to language, as well as by exploring primary texts from different vernaculars and the Latin tradition in conjunction with recent theoretical concepts and approaches, this Handbook brings together a pioneering and more complete view of the specifically European context of Arthurian romance, and promotes the more connected study of Arthurian literature across the entirety of its European context.

Описание: Maxwell Dent studied law at McGill and served in the RCAF and Intelligence M-5 during the Korean War. For a private investigator, he's as respectable as they come. No wonder then he's summoned to Huntley Ashton's Westmount mansion. A respected captain of industry, the wealthy man knows the PI can be relied upon to be discreet. Ashton's daughter Helen has fallen into heroin addiction, and the millionaire wants Dent to smash the ring supplying her vice, just as he took down a ring operating in Korea. Set in 1954, the novel captures the dying days of the era in which Montreal had the reputation as one of the world's great sin cities. The Damned and the Destroyed was originally published in 1962 by McClelland & Stewart in Canada and Dennis Dobson in the UK; this Ricochet Books edition marks the first print edition in more than five decades.
Автор: Busby, Shelly, Colorado Springs, Colorado Springs Название: Girl who walked in the shadow of the king ISBN: 1949021319 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781949021318 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 16890.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание:
There once was a girl who walked in the shadow of a King. Not that she realized it. Not at first, anyway.
For many years she suspected she was quite alone. Abandoned. Unloved. With her idyllic childhood shattered by divorce and abuse, Shelly believed there was no one watching over her.
And then she discovered a truth so powerful that nothing would ever be the same: Not past memories. Not current relationships. And certainly not Shelly's life from that point forward.
In this moving memoir, Shelly explores woundedness and redemption from an unexpected perspective.
The world she describes is rich and raw, and her poignant story will resonate with anyone who has ever felt life twist out of control until they cried out, God, where are you?
The answer, when you finally see it, changes, well... everything.
Автор: Brian Busby Название: Heart Accepts It All: Selected Letters of John Glassco ISBN: 1550653407 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781550653403 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 28530.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Decades after his death, John Glassco remains Canadas most enigmatic literary figure, and this collection draws back the curtain on this self-described "great practitioner of deceit". Collected here are the few surviving letters from his youthful adventures in France and three previously unpublished poems. Among his correspondents were Maurice Girodias, F R Scott, A J M Smith, Ralph Gustafson, Leon Edel and Margaret Atwood. The delight he took in revealing his many literary hoaxes to friends, and the scorn he had for literary fashion is apparent. The letters reflect his convictions about literature, other writers, and his own talent, while documenting struggles with publishers, pirates, and censors. Born into one of Montreals wealthiest families, Glassco turned his back on privilege for a life in letters; yet at age 18 -- having been published in Paris -- his voice suddenly went silent. His unexpected return to the literary scene in 1957 coincided with the great flowering of Canadian literature. In the years that followed, he produced a unique body of work that encompasses poetry, memoir, translation, and several best-selling books of pornography.

Описание: One of the British Empire’s most troubling colonial exports in the 19th-century, James Busby is known as the father of the Australian wine industry, the author of New Zealand’s Declaration of Independence and a central figure in the early history of independent New Zealand as its British Resident from 1833 to 1840.Officially the man on the ground for the British government in the volatile society of New Zealand in the 1830s, Busby endeavoured to create his own parliament and act independently of his superiors in London. This put him on a collision course with the British Government, and ultimately destroyed his career. With a reputation as an inept, conceited and increasingly embittered person, this caricature of Busby’s character has slipped into the historical bloodstream where it remains to the present day. This book draws on an extensive range of previously-unused archival records to reconstruct Busby’s life in much more intimate form, and exposes the back-room plotting that ultimately destroyed his plans for New Zealand. It will alter the way that Britain’s colonisation of New Zealand is understood, and will leave readers with an appreciation of how individuals, more than policies, shaped the Empire and its rule.

Описание: By 2040, the US corrections system had found an unbeatable way to save money. Simply send them out of the present world. ..send them to a very ancient past world. Time travel technology had blossomed, but was exclusively used by the government. Men like Jimmy Dantly had been highly educated in the field, and worked for the government, doing research and maintenance. For Jimmy, everything was turning up roses, until a freak accident at work turned his world upside down. A coworker was killed, and the evidence pointed to Jimmy, though he was innocent. He felt certain he would be exonerated, but the investigation and subsequent trial seemed to prove his guilt. The final blow, from a southern California judge, sent him reeling. The judge sentenced him to be sent to the Cretaceous period of history...the most active time for dinosaurs. Jimmy could do nothing other than cooperate. As he walked through the doors of the transport chamber, he shook his head, knowing he himself had helped build them. Suddenly he was thrust into a completely different world. He was fortunate to hook up with a fellow prisoner. Rick had survived a year there, and teamed up with Jimmy for better odds of staying alive. The two witnessed the arrival of a third inmate, Glen. Glen and Jimmy were each given high powered rifles by a sympathetic transporter attendant. Each man had specific skills that helped the group survive. Step by step they formulated and executed plans, first for safety, and then for escape from the primitive and violent world they lived in. This story shows what the human spirit can endure, and how ingenious the mind can be. It reaches the depth of terror, and the height of elation. These men combined their strengths to reach impossible goals, overcoming odds against them with their wit.
