Описание: A Southern Gothic novel of terror based upon events that occurred within a historic country home."While I am a believer in good and evil, my religious convictions prevent me from interpreting the events that transpired in the house that was moved from Dahlonega Street to Mt. Ebal. It is important for these facts to remain isolated from my own beliefs. What happened or why it did is left to the reader's interpretation. I have found from my own experience that a person should not look too deeply into dark rooms or stare at antique mirrors. My hand writes this story as one whose fingers are placed upon a Ouija board. I know not what direction or answers it will provide."

Автор: Hall Bert Название: En L`Air! (in the Air): The Experiences of an American Foreign Legionnaire as a Pilot with the Lafayette Escadrille on the Western Front and I ISBN: 0857067257 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780857067258 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 37300.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Legionnaire and Fighter Pilot American soldier of fortune Bert Hall enlisted in the French Foreign Legion-Deuxieme Regiment tranger-which was on its way to the front from Morocco, signing on for the duration of hostilities just two days after the Great War broke out in 1914. He served in the legion infantry, one of several welcome replacements from the United States of America who filled the gaps in the Legion's ranks created by the 1,800 German legionnaires who remained in North Africa so they would not oppose their fellow countrymen. The regiment was 4,000 strong and most of its number were killed during the first 18 months of the conflict. Hall fought in the trenches until the end of the first year of the war and the transferred to the air service where he was trained as pilot. After a period of reconnaissance flying, his first taste of action came in 1915 during the allied offensive around Champagne. Hall was well known as one of the renowned cadre of American pilots who formed the core in the legendary Lafayette Escadrille-the fighter squadron with the Indian head insignia. He experienced the air war of the Western Front in full measure before a transfer in late 1916 to the Eastern theatre to assist the Russians and Rumanians with their own war in the air. There he took part in the bombing of Sophia and found himself caught up in the Russian revolution. Hall tells his story compellingly and it is full of first hand account reportage. This book, written in 1918 before the end of hostilities, was not his only foray into authorship but it is particularly immediate since wartime events were still unfolding at the time of its original publication and he expected to return to action. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Описание: In these many-layered and masterfully written portraits, Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot reaches deep into human experiencefrom the drama of birth to the solemn vigil before deathto find the essence of respect. In her moving vision, relayed through powerfully told stories, respect is not the passive deference offered a superior but an active force that creates symmetry even in unequal relationships.
In a narrative both panoramic and intimate, Tom Chaffin captures the four-decade friendship of Thomas Jefferson and the Marquis de Lafayette.
The bond linking Thomas Jefferson and the Marquis de Lafayette constituted a singularly extraordinary friendship, one which played a key role in the making of two revolutions--and two nations. The author of the Declaration of Independence first met Lafayette in 1781, when the young French-born general was dispatched to Virginia to assist Jefferson, then the governor, in fighting off the British. The charismatic Lafayette, hungry for glory on the battlefield, could not have seemed more different from Jefferson, the reserved and philosophical statesman. But when Jefferson, a newly-appointed diplomat, moved to Paris three years later, speaking little French and in need of a diplomatic partner, their friendship began in earnest.
As Lafayette opened doors in Paris and Versailles for the neophyte emissary, so too did Jefferson stand by Lafayette as the Frenchman became inexorably drawn into the maelstrom of his country's revolution. The Virginian offered counsel to the young aristocrat as he drafted TheDeclaration of the Rights of Man and remained a firm supporter of the French Revolution, even after he returned to America in 1789. But Jefferson soon learned that the French Revolution's excesses had led to the persecution of Lafayette and his family. By 1792, the upheaval had rendered him a man without a country, locked away in a succession of Austrian and Prussian prisons. The burden fell on Jefferson--and Lafayette's other friends, including Alexander Hamilton's sister-in-law Angelica Schuyler Church --to win his release. The two would not see each other again until 1824, in a powerful and emotional reunion at Jefferson's Monticello.
Steeped in primary sources, Revolutionary Brothers casts fresh light on this remarkable, often complicated, friendship of two extraordinary men.
"Revolutionary Brothers is a compelling narrative of an epic--and unlikely--friendship from the Enlightenment era, enlivened by bracing plot-turns and vividly-drawn characters."--Walter S. Isaacson, bestselling author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life
