Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in India in 1865 to British parents, and brought up by a Portuguese ¿ayah¿ (nanny) and an Indian servant, who would entertain him with fabulous stories and Indian nursery rhymes. He was sent back to England when he was seven years old, and lived in a boarding house with a couple who were cruelly strict. Fortunately he returned to India aged sixteen, to work as the assistant editor of a newspaper in Lahore. He began publishing stories and poems and eventually had great success with his book Plain Tales from the Hills. After his marriage Kipling settled in America, and it was here that he wrote The Jungle Book. He then moved with his family to England, where he wrote Just So Stories for his daughter Josephine who later tragically died of pneumonia. Rudyard Kipling was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 and died on 18 January 1936. 272 pp. Englisch.

We are killing Americans. We will kill Americans.'North Korean schoolchildren conjugating verbsHow did North Korea become The Impossible State, where citizens found humming South Korean pop songs risk being sent to a gulag, and yet a starving populace clings fiercely to its Dear Leader Kim Jong-un What does the future hold for a regime with terrifying nuclear ambitions and an endless war with its southern counterpart Former White House adviser and Director of Asian Studies at Georgetown University, Victor Cha, pulls back the curtain on the world's most isolated country to provide this unprecedented and timely insight into North Korea's history, present and future. In the era of the Trump administration and with South Korean relations seemingly on the brink of great change, this authoritative account of the country interweaved with exclusive personal anecdotes offers much-needed answers in an increasingly uncertain political climate. Indeed, Cha warns of a future North Korea for which the Western world may be woefully unprepared. Extensive and fast-paced, The Impossible State is an extraordinarily edifying portrait of the society, economy and foreign policy of the most enigmatic nation-state.'Engrossing. It offers perhaps the best recent one-volume account of North Korea's history, economics and foreign relations' The Economist.
