Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Men of the Inner Jungle' is a compelling narrative of exploration and ethnographic observation set in the dense, mysterious interior of Borneo.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Bien qu'il n'y ait jamais vécu, le littoral normand a joué un rôle important dans le développement personnel et littéraire de Georges Simenon, auteur majeur du polar francophone. Ce livre propose une exploration minutieuse du rapport entre l'écrivain et les paysages de la Normandie maritime. Les intrigues, situées à Étretat, Fécamp, Deauville, Ouistreham, Dieppe et Port-en-Bessin, sont ainsi replacées dans leur contexte géographique, historique et social. Au fil des chapitres, on découvre comment les paysages côtiers et les lieux fréquentés - ports, plages, villages, hôtels - ont nourri la fameuse atmosphère simenonienne. À la fin de chaque chapitre, une promenade littéraire dans les pas de Simenon et de ses personnages est proposée au lecteur. Une réflexion stimulante sur l'ancrage d'un écrivain dans un territoire ainsi que sur le lien entre le réel et l'imagination. L'ensemble, riche et documenté ravira les amateurs de Simenon, les aficionados du roman policier et tous curieux de la géographie littéraire du littoral normand.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First edition. SIGNED. 686pp. Large octavo [23.5 cm] Red hardcover with gilt stamped titles on the spine and front cover. Illustrated. With the compact disc at the rear. There are a couple of minor indentations to the surface of the spine. The dust jacket has light surface and edge wear. There is a 1/4" closed tear to the head of the jacket's spine. Anson Bowen Call served 45 years in the Dublan Ward bishopric, 29 of them as bishop. From the dust jacket- "Many who grew up in Colonia Dublan never knew any other bishop than Anson Bowen Call. The steadiness of his hand as leader of the colony is legendary, but even more remarkable are the many examples of his faith under trying circumstances- calling down the blessings of heaven in times of drought; being instrumental in actual miracles during the perilous decade of the Mexican Revolution; even enduring his own near-execution by firing squad at the hands of rebels- to name just a few." This copy is signed by William G. Hartley and Lorna Call Alder on the title page.…

Hard back binding in publisher's original thin stiff card covers. 4to. 11'' x 9''. Bainbridge's (company name Bainbridge & Co.) was a major department store in the centre of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, it claimed to be the first true department store in the world, having begun recording weekly turnover separately by department in 1849. The store dates back to 1838, when Emerson Muschamp Bainbridge went into partnership with William Alder Dunn and opened a drapers and fashion shop in Newcastle's Market Street. At the time of its demise in 2002, the Bainbridge name was one of the longest continuously traded department store brands in the world. Contains 28 pp + covers. Bainbridge & Co.
