Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book tells the story of one of the most astonishing dramas in Europes history. In the summer of 1812 after years of uneasy peace, Napoleon, the master of almost the whole continent, marched into Russia with the largest army ever assembled, confident that he would sweep everything before him. Less than two years later the Russian army was itself marching into Paris and Napoleons empire lay in ruins. Using an array of new, rare and surprising sources, Dominic Lieven writes with great panache and insight to describe from the Russians viewpoint how they went from retreat, defeat and the burning of Moscow to becoming the new liberators of Europe. Slightly creased corners on front cover. 656 pages.

Zustand: Gut. 383 Seiten, Sehr guter Zustand - leichte Gebrauchsspuren am Schutzumschlag. Aus dem Englischen ("Vernon God Little", 2003) übertragen von Karsten Kredel. "Booker-Preis 2003: Nach Coetzee, Atwood, Martell: Booker-Preis 2003 an DBC Pierre. Das moderne Amerika - eine funkelnde schwarze Komödie über unser Unbehagen und unsere Faszination. Vernon Little sitzt im städtischen Gefängnis von Martirio, der »Barbecuesaucen-Hauptstadt von Texas«. Er hat ein ernsthaftes Problem: Sein Kumpel Jesus hat soeben 16 Klassenkameraden ins Jenseits befördert und sich dann selbst erschossen. Auf Vernon, seinen einzigen Freund, konzentrieren sich nun die Rachegelüste der Stadt und die Sensationsgier der Medien. DBC Pierres Debütroman ist mehr als eine Spritztour durch die Welt populärer Kultur - seine literarischen Referenzen finden sich in den amerikanischen Klassikern. Die Fülle an peinigender Ungerechtigkeit, die Vernon widerfährt, erinnert an den »Fänger im Roggen«, und die Unschuld eines Huck Finn wird ebenso zitiert wie die komische Larmoyanz eines Portnoy von Philip Roth. Auf der Oberfläche ist »Jesus von Texas« ein Roman, der die Sprachblasen einer hysterischen Medienwelt und den Plüschkosmos der Homeshopping-Kanäle parodiert. Doch hinter der grellbunten Kulisse des Geschehens lauert das Dämonische. Vernon ist der einzige, der es sieht und mit schockierender Lakonie benennt. Nicht er ist ein Killer, sondern er ist umgeben von Mördern und Brandstiftern; nicht er ist das verkommene Subjekt, als das ihn alle diffamieren, sondern er ist der einzig Unschuldige inmitten einer verdorbenen Welt, die ihn gekreuzigt sehen möchte. »Jesus von Texas« ist ein hellwacher Gesellschaftsroman von perfider und unversöhnlicher Klarheit, der in England und den USA für Aufsehen gesorgt hat, weil er die von Michael Moore (»Bowling for Columbine«, »Stupid White Men«) geäußerte Kritik literarisch überzeugend weiterführt. DBC Pierre: Nachdem Peter Warren Finlay 20 Jahre lang ein selbstzerstörerisches Leben jenseits aller Legalität geführt hat, zieht er sich nach Irland zurück, um den Roman »Jesus von Texas« zu schreiben. Die Ernsthaftigkeit seiner Wandlung betonend, nimmt er ein Pseudonym an, das für »Dirty But Clean Peter« steht."(Verlagstext). Autorenporträt: DBC Pierre ist das Pseudonym des australischen Schriftstellers Peter Warren Finlay (geboren 1961 in Old Reynella, South Australia, Australien). Die Annahme dieses Pseudonyms soll die Ernsthaftigkeit ausdrücken, mit der Finlay seine neuen Aufgaben als Schriftsteller wahrnehmen will. DBC Pierre steht für Dirty But Clean Peter, was für den Wandel seines Lebens stehen soll, denn während seines Lebens ist es Finlay gelungen von seinem Nachbar in Mexiko-Stadt angeschossen zu werden, Schulden in Höhe von 100.000 Dollar anzuhäufen, drogen- und spielsüchtig zu werden und eine Reihe Frauen zu hintergehen (Klappentext zu Jesus von Texas).(aus Wikipedia).

No binding. Zustand: Good. What is there new to say about Russias last monarch? Almost everything. Previous biographies have told of the family man, the father of the haemophiliac heir, the victim of the infamous murder at Ekaterinburg in 1918. This book covers all these topics but it looks, above all, at Nicholas as political leader and emperor. It presents a view of him very different from the one generally held in the West, and portrays the old regimes collapse and the origins of Bolshevik Russia. Nicholas II was not stupid. Nor was he nearly as weak as is thought. But the dilemmas of ruling Russia were vast and contradictory, and it is an illusion to think that by putting on a top hat and becoming a constitutional monarch Nicholas could have preserved his dynasty and empire. This book draws on Dominic Lievens 15-year study of Imperial Russia, using archives and other sources all over the world. It is, however, a study of more than Imperial Russia and its last ruler. The author looks also at monarchy in other countries during the same period, comparing Nicholas and Russias regime with rulers and governments in Germany, Japan, Iran, Britain, Italy and elsewhere. The books last chapter compares the downfall of the Imperial and the Soviet regimes, and explains how the era of Nicholas II fits into the pattern of modern Russian history. In so doing, it shows how very topical in todays Russia are most of the key issues and problems that beset Nicholas and his country.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - These are exciting times for exobiology. The ubiquity of organic molecules in interstellar clouds, comets and asteroids strongly supports a cosmic perspective on the origin of life. Data from both ground-based telescopes and the recently launched Infrared Space Observatory are providing new insight into the complexity of carbon-based chemistry beyond the Earth. Meteorites give us solid evidence for extraterrestrial amino acids, and putative fossil evidence for life in a 3.6 billion-year-old Martian meteorite hints that life in our system might not be the sole prerogative of the Earth. Giant planets have now been discovered orbiting other stars, and although such planets seem unlikely to be habitable themselves, their existence strongly suggests what many astronomers have long believed - that planetary systems are commonplace. All these topics are reviewed in this volume by active researchers. The level is appropriate for graduate students in astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth sciences, physics, and related disciplines. It will also provide a valuable source of reference for active researchers in these fields.
