paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. [8], 269, [11] pages. Signed by the author on the title page. The dust jacket is in a plastic sleeve. Poison is a gripping and malevolent tale from master storyteller Chris Wooding. Enter a world where humans are the vermin; a gruesome, nightmarish land of malicious tricksters and evil disguised as beauty. Chris Wooding (born 28 February 1977) is a British writer. His first book, Crashing was published when he was 21. He has written many more, including The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, which was silver runner-up for the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, and Poison, which won the Lancashire Book of the Year. He is also the author of three different series; Broken Sky, an anime-influenced fantasy, Braided Path, a fantasy trilogy, and Malice, a fantasy that mixes graphic novel with the traditional novel; as well as Tales of the Ketty Jay, a steampunk sci-fi fantasy. Poison is a highly metafictional novel which follows the adventures of a sixteen-year-old female protagonist named Poison as she attempts to rescue her sister from the Phaerie Realm. He says of the novel: "It can be read one level as a weird, gruesome kind of fairy tale, but there's a lot more to it than that. I spent most of my time writing this novel worrying about whether anyone would 'get' it, or whether it would sound like some degenerate A-Level student's philosophical rant when it was all finished instead of the story it was supposed to be, but I think it all worked out fine in the end. I'm very happy with it, anyways. And at least I got to put all the folklore I studied at University to good use." Poison is the story of a rebellious human teenager living in the swamp town of Gull with her father, stepmother, and her baby sister Azalea. She struggles against the oppression in her life, particularly with her strained relationship with her Stepmother, Snapdragon. Her only friend in Gull is the old traveler, Fleet, who tells her tales of the old wars and phaeries and maintains that Poison has some of the "Old Blood" in her. On Soulswatch Eve, Azalea is replaced with a Changeling. After consulting with Fleet, Poison sets out from Gull to rescue her from the Phaerie Lord. She pays the Wraith-Catcher Bram to take her to Shieldtown to seek out the creature Lamprey, to whom Fleet has referred her. Once in Shieldtown, Poison encounters a young woman heading back to Gull and asks her to relay a message to her parents. After proving herself to Lamprey, Poison is sent to the home of the Bone Witch. In chapters fairly reminiscent of Hansel and Gretel, Poison enters the house of the Bone Witch. She meets another young woman named Peppercorn, who keeps house for the blind, old witch. Peppercorn is unwilling to help Poison (aside from hiding her one night), and so it is with Bram's help that Poison defeats the witch. Bram and Poison escape the house with Peppercorn and her highly intelligent cat Andersen. The quartet meet a fisherman named Myrrk, who hints that all is not what it seems in the phaerie realm. He sends them on their way to the phaerie Lord's castle. Once there, Poison strikes a deal with Aelthar the phaerie Lord that he will return Azalea to her if she obtains a dagger for him. This deal sends her and her companions into the castle of the spider woman Asinastra. She obtains the dagger and returns to Aelthar, where she learns that he has no intention of returning her sister. Angered by Aelthar's deception, Poison and her companions journey to the meeting of the lords at the Hierophant's castle. There, they reunite with Fleet. Fleet, we learn, is an Antiquarian: a human who seeks out stories of interest and value for the Hierophant to transcribe. Upon learning that the Hierophant has created all that the world is and every person in it, Poison tries to fight her role in the story by doing nothing and stagnating the plot line. As Poison tries to fight her own destiny by refusing to live it, everyone around her begins to weaken and deteriorate. After Bram reasons with her that the story she is in is actually about her, since her malaise seems to be what is causing everyone to deteriorate around her, Poison's realization that she can fight against the Hierophant by doing nothing is enough for her to get well enough to continue her story. As she recovers she begins thinking of ways to get back at the Hierophant and stop his control over her. As Poison recovered from her illness, it is revealed that the Hierophant has been murdered with the dagger Poison acquired for Aelthar. The lords of the varying realms are in an uproar, as the death of the Hierophant means that a successor must take his place; each realm wants the new Hierophant to be of their own realm. Aelthar is particularly determined. Poison discovers that he, by way of the Scarecrow, the phaerie creature who replaces children with changelings, has been breeding phaerie-human hybrids, as humans are the only species with imaginations and therefore best suited to become Hierophant. Aelthar shows Poison her own sister, Azaelea, now a teenager, whom he had sent home after deeming her unsuitable. Poison realizes that the girl she sent back to Gull with word of her journey was, in fact, her rapidly aged sister. Deprived of her quest, Poison is furious and determined to get revenge. Aelthar sets the Scarecrow after her among the Hierophant's archives, and she kills it. Scriddle, Aelthar's assistant, stabs her. The world starts to rapidly dissolve around Poison, and she grins through the blood, announcing that she has realized that she is the new Hierophant. Scriddle does not believe her and continues to stab her trying to take her throne, as he does, the world becomes less real. In a panic and desperate for survival, the Hierophant's widow Lady Pariasa kills Scriddle by stabbing him through the neck, screaming that she wants to live. Poison blacks out from blood loss, but is saved by her companions and revived. She embraces her new role as Hierophant as her companions disperse. Just a.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book outlines the case for believing in God based on a philosophical approach to religion. The title was chosen because Christians, Muslims and Jews all use the phrase 'in the image of God' to describe human beings and to assert that they are valuable. The first part of the book is mostly philosophy and is relevant to those of any religion or of none. In the middle there is a chapter which looks at what an argument for the existence of God would look like in the light of the philosophical points made. The last part of the book is a sketch of such an argument.…
