Название: Raphael`s Story: The True Tale of an Abandoned Kitten Who Found a Forever Home ISBN: 0692581006 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780692581001 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 11490.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Raphael's Story is the true tale of an abandoned kitten who found his forever home. Inspired by the difficult journey of her own cat, Raphael, the author has crafted a complete tale based on the sketchy facts of her cat's life before he came to her. The story of Raphael and those of all the other animals in this book are true. The author uses the journey of the 'little orange kitten' to call attention to several issue related to animal well being in the modern world, such as the plight of feral cats, overpopulation, declawing, cruelty and abandonment. Courville is well known for her historical fact-based fiction and, under the nom de plume of Eug nie D. West, is globally acclaimed for her 'Reporting is Murder'(c) series of murder mysteries. This is the first, and probably only time she has ever written a biography, much less a biography of a cat.

The untold story of a heroic band of Caribbean pirates whose defiance of imperial rule inspired revolt in colonial outposts across the world
In the early eighteenth century, the Pirate Republic was home to some of the great pirate captains, including Blackbeard, "Black Sam" Bellamy, and Charles Vane. Along with their fellow pirates--former sailors, indentured servants, and runaway slaves--this "Flying Gang" established a crude but distinctive democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which servants were free, blacks could be equal citizens, and leaders were chosen or deposed by a vote. They cut off trade routes, sacked slave ships, and severed Europe from its New World empires, and for a brief, glorious period the Republic was a success.
