Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'It's just a puff piece about a farmer's market, I said to myself. It's not going to kill anyone. It started out like any other morning for the Fact Checker. The piece, 'Mandeville/Green,' didn't raise any red flags. There were more pressing stories that week at The Magazine-terrorism, war, or some other grave matter-it being 2004 New York City and all. 'Mandeville/Green' was a light, breezy look at a local farm called New Egypt, whose Ramapo tomatoes were quickly becoming the summer's hottest produce. At first glance, the story seemed straightforward, but one line made the Fact Checker pause: a stray quote from a New Egypt volunteer named Sylvia making a cryptic reference to 'nefarious business' at the farmer's market. 'People sell everything here,' she's alleged to have said. 'It ain't all green.' When Sylvia abruptly disappears the morning after an unexpectedly long night with the Fact Checker, he becomes obsessed with finding her. Did Sylvia discover something unsavory about New Egypt or its messianic owner Is it possible she had some reason to fear for her safety Or was it simply something the Fact Checker said Striking the perfect balance of humor, wonder, sadness, and poignancy, Austin Kelley's debut novel takes readers on a quixotic quest from one hidden corner of New York City to another-from an underground supper club in the Financial District to an abandoned-boat-turned-anarchist-community-space on the Gowanus Canal. As the story develops, the Fact Checker begins to question his perception of what's real and what's not. Facts can be deceiving, after all, and if you aren't careful, you might miss the truth right in front of your eyes'.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Out of a sidelined, colonial-era expedition in Africa comes a new story of cruelty, deception and adventure from the acclaimed author of The Lost Pianos of Siberia. In 1879, King Leopold II of Belgium launched an ambitious plan to plunder Africa's resources. The key to cracking open the continent, or so he thought, was its elephants- if only he could train them. And so he commissioned the charismatic Irish adventurer Frederick Carter to ship four tamed Asian elephants from India to the East African coast, where they were marched inland towards Congo. The ultimate aim was to establish a training school for African elephants. Following in the footsteps of the four elephants, Roberts pieces together the story of this long-forgotten expedition, in travels that take her to Belgium, Iraq, India, Tanzania, and Congo. The storytelling brings to life a compelling cast of historic characters and modern voices, from ivory dealers to Catholic nuns, set against rich descriptions of the landscapes travelled. In an original weave of past and present, she digs deep into historic records revealing an extraordinary-and enduring-story of colonial greed, hypocrisy, and folly'.
