Hardback. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. FALLING FOR A DOLPHIN Heathcote Williams. Jonathan Cape, London. 1988 First edition ISBN 9780224026598 48pp Hardback This copy is in fine unmarked condition, whit, bright, tight and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is also in fine condition. This dramatic poem, by the writer of "Whale Nation", describes the encounter between man and dolphin. His research led him to a remote cove in the south-west of Ireland where a hermit dolphin was rumoured to live. Submerged, alone in the alien sea, he was aware that the dolphin could torpedo its half-ton weight into him at 30 knots, snapping his spine as if it were a sardine's. Yet inches away, eye to eye, it appeared to enternatin no such wish and only invited play with its three-foot-smile. Drawn into the dolphin's force field, Williams had the sense of some old alliance rekindled, of two minds blending, of an ancient, hidden nature, overlapping somewhere along the line with man's. The poet has written "Whale Nation", described by the "Daily Telegraph" as "the most moving poem in English since "The Waste Land". Ref AA2.

"On 8 March 1421 the largest fleet in the world had ever seen sailed from its base in China. The ships, huge junks nearly five hundred feet long and built from the finest teak, were under the command of Emperor Zhu Di's loyal eunuch admirals. Their mission was to 'to proceed all the way to the end of the eath to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas' and unite the whole world in Confucian harmony. Their journey would last over two years and circle the globe. When they returned Zhu Di lost control and China was beginning its long, self-imposed isolation from the world it had so recently embraced. The great ships rotted at their moorings and the records of their journeys were destroyed. Lost was the knowledge that Chinese ships had reached America seventy years before Columbus and circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan. They had also discovered Antarctica, reached Australia three hundred and fifty years before Cook and solved the problem of longitude three hundred years before the Europeans. Gavin Menzies has spent fifteen years tracing the astonishing voyages of the Chinese fleet. Now, in a fascinating historical detective story, he shares the remarkable account of his discoveries and the incontrovertible evidence to support them. His compelling narrative pulls together ancient maps, precise navigational knowledge, astronomy and the surviving accounts of Chinese explorers and the later Eurropean navigators. It brings to light the artifacts and inscribed stones left behind by the emperor's fleet, the evidence of sunken junks along its route and the ornate votive offerings left by the Chinese sailors wherever they landed, in thanks to Shao Lin, goddess of the sea. 1421: The Year China Discovered the World is the story of a remarkable journey of discovery that rewrites our understanding of history. Our knowledge of world exploration as it has been commonly acceptd for centuries musts now be revised. 1421 is destined to become a classic work of historical detection." - from the inner front jacket flap. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Gavin Menzies (Royal Navy Submarine Commanding Officer, retired) was born in 1937 in China, where he spent the first two years of his life. He joined the Royal Navy in 1953 and served in submarines from 1959 to 1970. As a junior officer he sailed the world in the wake of Columbus, Dias, Cabral and Vasco da Gama. When in command of HMS Rorqual (1968-1970), he sailed the routes pioneered by Magellan and Captain Cook. Since leaving the Royal Navy, he has returned to China and the Far East many times, and in the course of researching 1421 he has visited 120 countries, over 900 museums and libraries and every major seaport of the late Middle Ages." - from the rear inner jacket flap.

Quince anos atras, Sara vivio el momento mas oscuro de su vida cuando fue tomada como rehen en un asalto bancario. Atrapada por sus captores, encontro un inesperado salvador en Angel, uno de los asaltantes que, a diferencia de los demas, se opuso al secuestro y arriesgo su vida para liberarla. Durante su huida, ambos compartieron mas que la adrenalina del escape: un amor inesperado y profundo florecio entre ellos. Pero el destino les arrebato su romance cuando, en un desafortunado malentendido, la policia abrio fuego y mato a Angel frente a Sara.

Se le asigna un guardaespaldas para protegerla y su mundo se tambalea: ese hombre es identico a su amor perdido, aunque el parece no recordarla y lleva una identidad distinta. La confusion y el desconcierto se mezclan con la esperanza, la duda y el latir de un amor que creia enterrado. Acaso Angel sobrevivio realmente? Y si es asi, por que finge no conocerla?
