Her communications system was defective. Her normal complement was thirty, but fifty-three extra specialists had been crowded aboard and her captain had never commanded a ship before in his life. Her easy capture, and the humiliating 'confessions' which followed, revealed the U.S.A. as powerless to retaliate, save by methods which might provoke a third world war. Trevor Armbrister attended the Naval Court of Inquiry and has had access to all the personalities involved from Dean Rusk to the captain and crew of the Pueblo. The result is the deepest, and likely to be unsurpassed, reconstruction of a national scandal, an international crisis, and of a personal tragedy - that of Commander Bucher himself, martyr and scapegoat. ., Barrie & Jenkins, 1970, 3, UsedLikeNew.

The dialectic of Top Girls is wide-ranging, covering universal dilemmas facing women, but focuses on major themes of contemporary life. The critique of feminist ambitions is a clear central theme and Churchill's selection of women from the past and modern world shows sympathy for the feminist cause and disdain for the male oppressor, but there is no sentimentality an no comfortable solution is offered for their problems. Marlene hosts a dinner party in a London restaurant to celebrate her promotion to managing director of 'Top Girls' employment agency. Her guests are five women from the past: Isabella Bird (1831- 1904) - the adventurous traveller; Lady Nijo (b1258) - the mediaeval courtesan who became a Buddhist nun and travelled on foot through Japan; Dull Gret, who as Dulle Griet in a Bruegel painting, led a crowd of women on a charge through hell; Pope Joan - the transvestite early female pope and last but not least Patient Griselda, an obedient wife out of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. As the evening continues we are involved with the stories of all five women and the impending crisis in Marlene's own life. A classic of contemporary theatre, Churchill's play is seen as a landmark for a new generation of playwrights. It was premiered by the Royal Court in 1982. This volume contains a chronology of the playwright's life and work; an introduction giving the background to the play; a discussion of the various interpretations, notes on individual words and phrases and photographs from stage productions., Methuen Drama, 1991, 3, UsedGood.

Synopsis: The subject of a major motion picture starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter. One man saved the British Royal Family in the first decades of the 20th century - amazingly he was an almost unknown, and certainly unqualified, speech therapist called Lionel Logue, whom one newspaper in the 1930s famously dubbed The Quack who saved a King'. Logue wasn't a British aristocrat or even an Englishman - he was a commoner and an Australian to boot. Nevertheless it was the outgoing, amiable Logue who single-handedly turned the famously nervous, tongue-tied, Duke of York into the man who was capable of becoming King. Had Logue not saved Bertie (as the man who was to become King George VI was always known) from his debilitating stammer, and pathological nervousness in front of a crowd or microphone, then it is almost certain that the House of Windsor would have collapsed. The King's Speech is the previously untold story of the extraordinary relationship between Logue and the haunted young man who became King George VI, drawn from Logue's unpublished personal diaries. They throw extraordinary light on the intimacy of the two men - and the vital role the King's wife, the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, played in bringing them together to save her husband's reputation and his career as King. The King's Speech is an intimate portrait of the British monarchy at a time of its greatest crisis, seen through the eyes of an Australian commoner who was proud to serve, and save, his King. About the Author: Mark Logue is the grandson of Lionel Logue. He is a film maker and the custodian of the Logue Archive. He lives in London. Peter Conradi is an author and journalist.

It wasn't that Freedom was inhospitable as planets go. The problem was that outsiders -- tourists and traders -- claimed the streets were crowded with mysterious characters in blue robes, and with members of an alien species. Native-born humans, however, said that was not the case. There were no such blue-robes and no aliens. Such was the viewpoint of both Herrin the artist and Waden the autocrat -- until a crisis of planetary identity forced a life-and-death confrontation between the question of reality and the reality of the question, DAW, 2.5, Saint Louis Missouri: Concordia Publishing House.

Oliver Bullough received the OXFAM Emerging Writer award in 2013. Award-winning writer Oliver Bullough travels the country from crowded Moscow train to empty windswept village, following in the footsteps of one extraordinary man, the dissident Orthodox priest Father Dmitry. His moving, terrifying story is the story of a nation: famine, war, the frozen wastes of the Gulag, the collapse of communism and now, a people seeking oblivion. Bullough shows that in a country so willing to crush its citizens, there is also courage, resilience and flickering glimmers of hope. In the 1960s, when the Soviet Union said it was building heaven on earth and the brave, non-conformist dissidents lived like free men in the midst of this enormous prison, the Russian nation began to drink itself to death. For a while, government income from vodka surpassed their income from oil. This title offers a study of a nation in crisis. 'Wonderful ...

Neil Fujita. FROM THE PUBLISHER - QUARUP is the most important work to date of the distinguished and courageously outspoken Brazilian novelist-playwright-journalist whose reportage, especially his writing for one of the hemisphere’s great newspapers, 0 Jornal do Brasil, ‘bears witness’ in the words of the TLS ‘to qualities of intelligence and integrity and to exceptionally high standards in the gathering of information’-an integrity and authority that make his rich, crowded portrayal of a nation in turmoil as trustworthy as it is novelistically, poetically, and humanly brilliant. QUARUP is set in the recent past: from the Vargas years through the military coup of March 31, 1964. The protagonist is a priest, Nando. This gentle, unworldly man, a mystic entranced by a centuries-old Jesuit vision of society as God’s republic, is transformed by his compassion into a twentieth-century revolutionary. This lover of God’s peace is propelled by his love of man into the guerrilla wars of the Sertäo. Around him, the swirling society of Brazil-’No summary,’ says Gregory Rabassa, ‘can begin to detail the novel’s richness of people and episodes!’ In wonderfully dramatic and evocative scenes the reader moves among priests and prostitutes, among liberal governors, fanatic anti-Communist colonels, among petty officials sniffing ether in Rio’s demimonde, among the forgotten sugarcane sharecroppers of the Nordeste and the Indians of Brazil’s jungle interior, where Nando goes as a missionary. In its breadth and variety, its vision and its passion, Quarup-whose title is derived from the Indian ritual of resurrection-is a synthesis of Callado’s wide-ranging and urgent view of the society in which he lives: its struggles of modernization, its crisis in the Church, its revolutionary tremors. inventory #25766, 0, "The Parisians" and "The Pilgrims of the Rhine"Lord Lytton's Works by Edward Bulwer-Lyttonpublisher: John W. Lovell Company, New YorkHardcover with green cloth-covered boards with gold spine lettering5.2 x 7.7 inches, 839 pagesEdward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, PC (25 May 1803 18 January 1873) was an English novelist, poet, playwright and politician. He served as a Whig MP from 1831 to 1841 and a Conservative MP from 1851 to 1866. He was Secretary of State for the Colonies from June 1858 to June 1859, during which time he selected Richard Clement Moody to be the founder of British Columbia. Bulwer-Lytton was offered the Crown of Greece in 1862, after the abdication of King Otto, but declined it. He became Baron Lytton of Knebworth in the British peerage in 1862.Bulwer-Lytton was the father of the statesman Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton, who served as Governor-General of India and as British Ambassador to France, and composed poetry under the pseudonym Owen Meredith.Bulwer-Lytton's literary works were highly popular and his bestselling novels earned him a large fortune. He invented the phrases "the great unwashed", "pursuit of the almighty dollar", "the pen is mightier than the sword", and "dweller on the threshold". Then came a sharp decline in his literary reputation, so that he is known for little more than the much-parodied opening line "It was a dark and stormy night", the first seven words of his novel Paul Clifford (1830). The sardonic Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest attempts to find the "opening sentence of the worst of all possible novels".Bulwer-Lytton was born on 25 May 1803 to General William Earle Bulwer of Heydon Hall and Wood Dalling, Norfolk and Elizabeth Barbara Lytton, daughter of Richard Warburton Lytton of Knebworth, Hertfordshire. He had two older brothers, William Earle Lytton Bulwer (17991877) and Henry (18011872), later Lord Dalling and Bulwer.When Edward was four, his father died and his mother moved to London. He was a delicate, neurotic child and was discontented at a number of boarding schools. But he was precocious and Mr. Wallington at Baling encouraged him to publish, at the age of fifteen, an immature work, Ishmael and Other Poems.In 1822 he entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where he met John Auldjo, but shortly afterwards moved to Trinity Hall. In 1825 he won the Chancellor's Gold Medal for English verse. In the following year he took his BA degree and printed, for private circulation, a small volume of poems, Weeds and Wild Flowers.He purchased a commission in the army in 1826, but sold it in 1829 without serving.In August 1827, he married Rosina Doyle Wheeler (18021882), a famous Irish beauty, but against his mother's wishes, who withdrew his allowance, so that he was forced to work for a living. They had two children, Lady Emily Elizabeth Bulwer-Lytton (18281848), and (Edward) Robert Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton (18311891) who became Governor-General and Viceroy of British India (18761880).His writing and political work strained their marriage, while his infidelity embittered Rosina; in 1833 they separated acrimoniously and in 1836 the separation became legal.Three years later, Rosina published Cheveley, or the Man of Honour (1839), a near-libellous fiction bitterly satirising her husband's alleged hypocrisy. In June 1858, when her husband was standing as parliamentary candidate for Hertfordshire, she indignantly denounced him at the hustings. He retaliated by threatening her publishers, withholding her allowance, and denying her access to the children. Finally he had her committed to a mental asylum, but after a public outcry, she was released a few weeks later. This incident was chronicled in her memoir, A Blighted Life (1880). She continued her attacks upon her husband's character for several years.The death of Bulwer-Lytton's mother in 1843 greatly saddened him. His own "exhaustion of toil and study had been completed by great anxiety and grief," and by "about the January of 1844, I was thoroughly shattered". In his mother's room at Knebworth House, Bulwer-Lytton "had inscribed above the mantelpiece a request that future generations preserve the room as his beloved mother had used it." It remains essentially unchanged to this day.On 20 February 1844, in accordance with his mother's will, he changed his surname from 'Bulwer' to 'Bulwer-Lytton' and assumed the arms of Lytton by royal licence. His widowed mother had done the same in 1811. His brothers remained plain "Bulwer".By chance Bulwer-Lytton encountered a copy of "Captain Claridge's work on the "Water Cure", as practised by Priessnitz, at Graefenberg", and "making allowances for certain exaggerations therein", pondered the option of travelling to Graefenberg, but preferred to find something closer to home, with access to his own doctors in case of failure: "I who scarcely lived through a day without leech or potion!". After reading a pamphlet by Doctor James Wilson, who operated a hydropathic establishment with James Manby Gully at Malvern, he stayed there for "some nine or ten weeks", after which he "continued the system some seven weeks longer under Doctor Weiss, at Petersham", then again at "Doctor Schmidt's magnificent hydropathic establishment at Boppart" (at the former Marienberg Convent at Boppard), after developing a cold and fever upon his return home.When King Otto of Greece abdicated in 1862, Bulwer-Lytton was offered the crown of Greece, which he declined. The English Rosicrucian society, founded in 1867 by Robert Wentworth Little, claimed Bulwer-Lytton as their 'Grand Patron', but he wrote to the society complaining that he was 'extremely surprised' by their use of the title, as he had 'never sanctioned such'. Nevertheless, a number of esoteric groups have continued to claim Bulwer-Lytton as their own, chiefly because some of his writingssuch as the 1842 book Zanonihave included Rosicrucian and other esoteric notions. According to the Fulham Football Club, he once resided in the original Craven Cottage, today the site of their stadium.Bulwer-Lytton had long suffered with a disease of the ear and for the last two or three years of his life he lived in Torquay nursing his health. Following an operation to cure deafness, an abscess formed in his ear and burst; he endured intense pain for a week and died at 2am on 18 January 1873 just short of his 70th birthday. The cause of death was not clear but it was thought that the infection had affected his brain and caused a fit. Rosina outlived him by nine years. Against his wishes, Bulwer-Lytton was honoured with a burial in Westminster Abbey.His unfinished history Athens: Its Rise and Fall was published posthumously.Bulwer-Lytton began his career as a follower of Jeremy Bentham. In 1831 he was elected member for St Ives in Cornwall, after which he was returned for Lincoln in 1832, and sat in Parliament for that city for nine years. He spoke in favour of the Reform Bill, and took the leading part in securing the reduction, after vainly essaying the repeal, of the newspaper stamp duties. His influence was perhaps most keenly felt when, on the Whigs' dismissal from office in 1834, he issued a pamphlet entitled A Letter to a Late Cabinet Minister on the Crisis. Lord Melbourne, then Prime Minister, offered him a lordship of the admiralty, which he declined as likely to interfere with his activity as an author.In 1841, he left Parliament and did not return to politics until 1852, when, having differed from the policy of Lord John Russell over the Corn Laws, he stood for Hertfordshire as a Conservative. Lord Lytton held that seat until 1866, when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Lytton of Knebworth in the County of Hertford. In 1858 he entered Lord Derby's government as Secretary of State for the Colonies, thus serving alongside his old friend Disraeli. In the House of Lords he was comparatively inactive.Bulwer-Lytton's literary career began in 1820, with the publication of a book of poems, and spanned much of the 19th century. He wrote in a variety of genres, including historical fiction, mystery, romance, the occult, and science fiction. He financed his extravagant life with a varied and prolific literary output, sometimes publishing anonymously.In 1828 Pelham brought him public acclaim and established his reputation as a wit and dandy. Its intricate plot and humorous, intimate portrayal of pre-Victorian dandyism kept gossips busy trying to associate public figures with characters in the book. Pelham resembled Benjamin Disraeli's recent first novel Vivian Grey (1827). The character of the villainous Richard Crawford in The Disowned, also published in 1828, borrowed much from that of the banker and forger Henry Fauntleroy, who was hanged in London in 1824 before a crowd of some 100,000.Bulwer-Lytton admired Disraeli's father, Isaac D'Israeli, himself a noted author. They began corresponding in the late 1820s and met for the first time in March 1830, when Isaac D'Israeli dined at Bulwer-Lytton's house. (Also present that evening were Charles Pelham Villiers and Alexander Cockburn. The young Villiers was to have a long parliamentary career, while Cockburn became Lord Chief Justice of England in 1859.)Bulwer-Lytton reached the height of his popularity with the publication of Godolphin (1833). This was followed by The Pilgrims of the Rhine (1834), The Last Days of Pompeii (1834), Rienzi, Last of the Roman Tribunes (1835), Leila; or, The Siege of Granada (1838) and Harold, the Last of the Saxons (1848). The Last Days of Pompeii was inspired by Karl Briullov's painting, The Last Day of Pompeii, which Bulwer-Lytton saw in Milan.He also wrote the horror story "The Haunted and the Haunters" or "The House and the Brain" (1859). Another novel dealing with a supernatural theme was A Strange Story (1862), which was an influence on Bram Stoker's Dracula.Bulwer-Lytton penned many other works, including The Coming Race or Vril: The Power of the Coming Race (1871), which drew heavily on his interest in the occult and contributed to the early growth of the science fiction genre. Its story of a subterranean race waiting to reclaim the surface of the Earth is an early science fiction theme. The book popularised the Hollow Earth theory and may have inspired Nazi mysticism. His term "vril" lent its name to Bovril meat extract. Adopted by theosophists and occultists since the 1870s, "vril" would develop into a major esoteric topic, and eventually become closely associated with the ideas of an esoteric neo-Nazism after 1945.His play Money (1840) was first produced at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London, on 8 December 1840. The first American production was at the Old Park Theater in New York on 1 February 1841. Subsequent productions include the Prince of Wales's Theatre's in 1872 and it was also the inaugural play at the new California Theatre in San Francisco in 1869.Among Bulwer-Lytton's lesser-known contributions to literature was that he convinced Charles Dickens to revise the ending of Great Expectations to make it more palatable to the reading public, as in the original version of the novel, Pip and Estella do not get together., John W.

There is an increasing gulf between the way we are made and the way we behave. Unless we find some method of bridging it, we will perish. Anthony Harris is not despondent, but he believes that we have to stop fooling ourselves. He shows that our genetic pattern is essentially that of the hunter-gatherer who, through population pressure, first settled and started to cultivate the land a mere ten thousand years ago. This is only a fraction of man's total evolution time of more than two million years. In fact the experiences of Urban Man represent less than one per cent of our biological evolution. But if we haven't changed our nature we have changed our environment beyond recognition in that short time. Today's version of Urban Man lives in a world which would be total anathema to presettlement mankind. Dr. Harris shows that it is anathema to us, if we would recognise the fact. Bone, muscular and nervous systems, which are virtually identical in all of us, cannot take the stress to which we subject them: stress from excessive competition, from over-crowding, loneliness and loss of personal significance, a rhythmic work, constant noise and pollution. Our resistance is further lowered by the inadequate nourishment we give ourselves and our denial of exercise to our bodies. Dr. Harris shows that we encounter Break-points in many different areas of our lives: in sexual relations, where the whole climate of opinion arouses expectations which the structure of society constantly denies; in the very process of ageing (stress affects the brain and nervous system as well as the muscles, leading to neurosis and disease which cause us to grow old before our time)., Turnstone Books, 1979, 3<

Trade paperback. Victoria Peak. Old West and southwest. Near Fine . 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Story of gold in New Mexico near White Sands. About the book: "If the Army will give me a helicopter and thirty minutes I'll go on the White Sands Missile Range and bring out 292 bars of gold (estimated value, $42 million)." Attorney F. Lee Bailey, in July 1974. The Treasure of Victoria Peak presents the true story of a billion-dollar discovery of gold bars and ancient coins at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Since 1937 controversy and intrigue have surrounded this area at the southern end of the San Andres mountains. Originally discovered by Milton E. Noss in 1937, this immense treasure unleashed a series of dramatic events. It drew into its coils a number of major forces-the U.S. Department of Defense, high U.S. Army personnel, the Nixon administration, and State Senators. This struggle has provoked lawsuits between the U.S. government, the state of New Mexico, and various private individuals, -including the widow Noss. n 1939 the treasure rooms of Victoria Peak were sealed by an excessive charge of dynamite and in 1955 the area became part of the White Sands Missile Range and therefore off-limits to all claimants. "The treasure of Victoria Peak" is the fascinating true story of the Noss family's struggle to preserve the secrecy of their discovery, and the fight by Mrs. Noss to hold back strong powers seeking to divest her of her rights. It is told by the attorney who represented the Noss family for almost two decade., 1997, 4, London: HrperCollins, 1994. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. Blue cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering to the spine - clean & tight with no inscriptions. The dust-jacket is clean, bright & colourfast, has minimal 'shelf-wear' - unclipped. "In 1967, Eric Newby and his wife Wanda fulfilled a long-cherished ambition when they acquired 'I Castagni' (the chestnuts), a small and excessively ruined farmhouse in the foothills of the Apuan Alps on the borders of Liguria and northern Tuscany. They were the first foreigners to live in the area, and twenty-fiveyears later they remained the only ones." 212 pages; text, HrperCollins, 1994, 3, UK: Turnstone Books, 1979. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 5.5" X 8.75. h/b 158 pages, condition is very good. Breakpoint is a statement of evolutionary crisis. Its implication is that we cannot go on living the way we do. There is an increasing gulf between the way we are made and the way we behave. Unless we find some method of bridging it, we will perish. Anthony Harris is not despondent, but he believes that we have to stop fooling ourselves. He shows that our genetic pattern is essentially that of the hunter-gatherer who, through population pressure, first settled and started to cultivate the land a mere ten thousand years ago. This is only a fraction of man's total evolution time of more than two million years. In fact the experiences of Urban Man represent less than one per cent of our biological evolution. But if we haven't changed our nature we have changed our environment beyond recognition in that short time. Today's version of Urban Man lives in a world which would be total anathema to presettlement mankind. Dr. Harris shows that it is anathema to us, if we would recognise the fact. Bone, muscular and nervous systems, which are virtually identical in all of us, cannot take the stress to which we subject them: stress from excessive competition, from over-crowding, loneliness and loss of personal significance, a rhythmic work, constant noise and pollution. Our resistance is further lowered by the inadequate nourishment we give ourselves and our denial of exercise to our bodies. Dr. Harris shows that we encounter Break-points in many different areas of our lives: in sexual relations, where the whole climate of opinion arouses expectations which the structure of society constantly denies; in the very process of ageing (stress affects the brain and nervous system as well as the muscles, leading to neurosis and disease which cause us to grow old before our time)., Turnstone Books, 1979, 3<
