Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A splendid and sumptuous historical novel from the internationally bestselling author, Philippa Gregory, telling of the early life of Katherine of Aragon. I was born a princess, destined to be queen, and I know my duty. 1491. Henry VII's eldest son Arthur Tudor, Prince of Wales, has been betrothed since childhood to the Spanish princess Katherine of Aragon. Their marriage will cement the alliance Henry Tudor craves to secure his country. But when Arthur's sudden death leaves an 11-year-old boy heir to the kingdom, Henry Tudor must choose whether to send Katherine back to Spain, or to marry her himself. Katherine has no son from her brief marriage to secure her future; her substantial dowry and his powerful contract are at stake. Henry has reckoned without the determination of a young woman set on fulfilling her own destiny to be a queen - and the ambition of Prince Harry, the future Henry VIII. 528 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This cult classic of working class life in post-war Nottingham follows the exploits of rebellious factory worker Arthur Seaton and is introduced by Richard Bradford. Working all day at a lathe leaves Arthur Seaton with energy to spare in the evenings. A hard-drinking, hard-fighting hooligan, he knows what he wants, and he's sharp enough to get it. Before long, his carryings-on with a couple of married women become the stuff of local gossip. But then one evening he meets a young girl and life begins to look less simple. First published in 1958, 'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning' achieved instant critical acclaim and helped to establish Alan Sillitoe as one of the greatest British writers of his generation. The film of the novel, starring Albert Finney, transformed British cinema and was much imitated. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The worst storm in history seem from the wheelhouse of a doomed fishing trawler; a mesmerisingly vivid account of a natural hell from a perspective that offers no escape. The 'perfect storm' is a once-in-a-hundred-years combination: a high pressure system from the Great Lakes, running into storm winds over an Atlantic island - Sable Island - and colliding with a weather system from the Caribbean: Hurricane Grace. This is the story of that storm, told through the accounts of individual fishing boats caught up in the maelstrom, their families waiting anxiously for news of their return, the rescue services scrambled to save them. It is the story of the old battle between the fisherman and the sea, between man and Nature, but here Nature is an awesome and capricious power that transforms the surface of the Atlantic into an impossible tumult of water walls and gaping voids, with the capacity to break an oil tanker in two, let alone the 72ft swordfishing boat Andrea Gail with her crew of eight. A typical Hurricane encompasses a million cubic miles of atmosphere and can contain enough energy to, in theory, meet the electric power needs of the UK for a decade. Except that a hurricane will not be controlled. In spare, lyrical prose 'The Perfect Storm' describes what happened when the Andrea Gail looked into the wrathful face of the perfect storm. 240 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A magical, on-the-grandest-scale, action-packed, totally engaging and characterful fantasy novel from the bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings. The Dreamers are children teetering on the brink of divinity. They have the power to change the world with their dreams. The Elder Gods have defeated the Vlagh twice - with the aid of the Dreamers and the mysterious Treasured One who seems, worryingly, to be controlling them - but the unspeakable Creature of the Wasteland is on the fast track to world domination as the time approaches for the Younger Gods to take their place. Now all the varied resources of the domains of the Gods are marshalled to bring a halt to the spread of evil. But there is pestilence and skirmishing, and suddenly the balance of power shifts. The Ruler of the Wasteland has infiltrated another domain of the Gods, the land of short summers, where bison and deer roam. There the strange and marvellous crystal gorge, which can be no natural formation of rock, is destined to become a battleground of great beauty and great terror. The enemy is closer to knowing the secrets of the Treasured One and the Dreamers are in grave danger of delivering a nightmare to the world of the Elder Gods. 400 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Geboren im Kalifornien des späten 18. Jahrhunderts, ist Diego de la Vega ein Kind zweier Welten: Sohn eines spanischen Edelmanns und einer indianischen Kriegerin. Der Vater, Herr über eine große Hacienda, lehrt ihn schon früh das Fechten und will in ihm den Erben sehen, die Mutter vermittelt ihm die Traditionen ihres Volkes und den Drang nach Freiheit. Stolz und Wagemut lernt Diego von beiden, und so empört er sich früh über die Greultaten der spanischen Kolonialherren gegen die Indianer und spürt den inneren Konflikt seiner Abstammung.Mit sechzehn verläßt Diego die Heimat, um in Barcelona 'europäischen Schliff' zu erhalten. Spanien krümmt sich unter der Herrschaft Napoleons, und schon bald tritt Diego als 'Zorro' einem Geheimbund bei, der sich verschworen hat, Gerechtigkeit zu suchen. Doch ist es nicht allein die Gerechtigkeit, die Diego zu tollkühnen Taten treibt, sondern auch seine unbändige Liebe zu Juliana.Bald aber sieht er sich gezwungen, vor politischer Verfolgung und tödlichen Intrigen zu fliehen. Zu Fuß geht es durch Spanien, mit Juliana, deren Schwester und ihrer Gouvernante. Mehr und mehr schlüpft Diego in die Rolle des 'Zorro'. Und als solcher kehrt er nach Kalifornien zurück, um mit seinem Degen Gerechtigkeit für all jene einzufordern, deren Kampfesmut schon gebrochen scheint. Ein großer Held ist geboren, die Legende beginnt.Wir alle kennen Zorro. Aber kennen wir ihn hinter seiner Maske und der unübertrefflichen Eleganz seines Heldentums Dem Schwung und der Leichtigkeit der geborenen Erzählerin Isabel Allende war es vorbehalten, den ganzen Zorro zu erzählen, den Roman seines Lebens und wie er zu dem wurde, was er - unauslöschlich - in unserer aller Phantasie ist.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The life story of Belgararth the Sorcerer: his own account of the great struggle that went before the Belgariad and the Malloreon, when gods stills walked the land. Here is the full epic story of Belgarath, the great sorcerer learned in the Will and the Word on whom the fate of the world depends. Only Belgarath can tell of those near-forgotten times when Gods still walked the land: he is the Ancient One, the Old Wolf, his God Aldur's first and most-favoured disciple. Using powers learned over the centuries Belgarath himself records the story of conflict between two mortally opposed Destinies that split the world asunder. A hugely entertaining work of great daring, wit, grandeur and excitement that confirms the role of Belgarath the Sorcerer as one of the mightiest fantasy creations of the century.
