Legend of John Macnab
￥48.95
John Sandiman is a librarian at a run-down Glasgow college full of feckless students and overseen by hopeless jobsworths. Fed up with his job, still mourning the cowardly way that Jessica, his ex-girlfriend, dumped him and bemoaning the apathy of the Scots, Sandiman dreams of the time when Caledonia was led by kings. So when Natalie, his colleague and drinking buddy, mentions something called The Book of Deer, he takes no notice. After all, there's little a librarian can do to change the world.Or is there? What Sandiman did not anticipate was that a fictional character from Scotland's past would come vibrantly to life, hurling him into a quest to face his own past and change his country's future.Spanning two millennia from the sea kingdom of Dalriada to the Scottish referendum of 1997, The Legend of John Macnab takes readers behind events they thought they knew and brings them face-to-face with a forgotten icon more splendid than the Stone of Destiny.

Black Oxford
￥58.76
Oxford University has attracted and produced many of the world's most original thinkers over the centuries. It boasts heads of states, academics, writers, actors, scientists, philosophers and many other luminaries among its alumni. On any tour of the University and colleges famous ex-students Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher to name a few are often mentioned but what about its Black scholars? The University has a long but little known history of attracting Black scholars from Africa, the Caribbean, America and even Australia since the matriculation in 1873 of Christian Fredrick Cole, who became the first African to practise in an English court. He was followed by other outstanding personalities: Alain Locke, the Father of the Harlem Renaissance and the first Black scholar to be awarded a Rhodes Scholarship in 1907; Kofoworola Moore, the first African woman to graduate from the University in 1935; Eric Williams, the great historian of the Caribbean, who was elected Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago. Oxford s Black alumni include statesmen, lawyers and teachers. More recently, Oxford-educated African American women have risen to high office in the United States. Students from all parts of Africa, the Caribbean and the Commonwealth have made significant contributions and left lasting legacies in the fields of politics, literature, science and the arts. Uncovering the stories of prominent and lesser-known Black students at Oxford, Pamela Roberts reveals a hitherto undocumented strand in the University's history and its relationship with the wider world.
Walking the Retreat
￥98.00
The opening month of the Great War ending in the Battle of the Marne (6-9 September 1914) was a turning point in modern history. The French and British armies were forced into a long retreat from Belgium but subsequently regrouped to mount a successful counter-attack. However, the miracle of the Marne, as it was later called, ended in the stalemate of the trenches. The failure of the Imperial German Army to achieve a decisive victory led to thirty years of hostility, warfare and destruction, which cost millions of lives. During the retreat to the Marne over a million soldiers marched 20 miles a day carrying 60-lb packs in temperatures above 30 degrees. They were often short of food and only managed short snatches of rest. They fought a series of engagements over two weeks which ended in a battle from the plains of Lorraine to the gates of Paris. This march tested them to the limits of endurance and beyond. In this book Terry Cudbird recreates the experience of the infantry during their gruelling journey. He describes his own August walk from southern Belgium to the battlefield, which followed the exact route taken by a French Lieutenant in the Fifth Army. He draws on a wide range of personal reminiscences, not only French but also British and German. He takes us back to the landscapes of Northern France in 1914 and explains how they have changed since that August one hundred years ago. He also reflects on the soldiers' origins and training, and their morale as they set out. This is not another military history but a unique evocation of the powers of endurance of ordinary soldiers. It will appeal to those interested in the history of the Great War, including readers who want to explore the route of the retreat for themselves.

Tragedie ?n trei acte

Sfâr?it de veac are un ritm bine marcat de scene în care conflictul e psihologic. Sunt scene de lupt?, de duplicitate ?i de strategie, conduse cu mân? sigur?, în care personajele î?i confrunt? interesele, dar ?i fi rea ascuns?. Maestrul de ceremonii este, fire?te, Urmatecu, plin de vitalitate, neobosit, viclean, calculat, altruist ?i crud totodat?, pe care doar lucrurile neclare, ciud??eniile, capriciile femeilor, nebunia ?i moartea îl tulbur?, sco?ându-l din apele în care se scald? de obicei. Chefurile uria?e pe care le trage dup? înmormânt?ri vin din nevoia de a se reechilibra psihic. Dac? boierul Barbu e un Tuzluc, iar Jurubi?a, o Kera Duduca, Urmatecu e un Dinu P?turic? infinit mai complicat ?i mai subtil, realizat la alte dimensiuni fizice ?i morale. Nu exist?, cum exist? de obicei în romanul de acest tip, personaje pozitive ori negative. Nici aplecarea spre caricatur? de la romancierii postbelici. Am putea spune chiar c? pân? ?i cei mai netrebnici sunt privi?i cu anume compasiune. Un element important este acela biografic, care atenueaz? eventualul spirit critic.

Don Quijote

Publicada su primera parte con el título de "El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha" a comienzos de 1605, es la obra más destacada de la literatura espa?ola y universal, además de ser la más publicada y traducida de la historia después de la Biblia.

The Brown Owl: "A Fairy Story"
￥18.56
ONCE upon a time, a long while ago—in fact long before Egypt had risen to power and before Rome or Greece had ever been heard of—and that was some time before you were born, you know—there was a king who reigned over a very large and powerful kingdom. Now this king was rather old, he had founded his kingdom himself, and he had reigned over it nine hundred and ninety-nine and a half years already. As I have said before, it was a very large kingdom, for it contained, among other things, the whole of the western half of the world. The rest of the world was divided into smaller kingdoms, and each kingdom was ruled over by separate princes, who, however, were none of them so old as Intafernes, as he was called.
