A Right Ambition (Text Only)
¥66.61
The origins of this book lie in its predecessor, Heroes and Contemporaries, published by my good friends at Collins in 1983. It was then felt that these present memoirs and observations would represent an interim collection of writings before I embark upon the story of my complete cricketing career.There is such intense interest in the lives and performances of public figures that one would need to be a recluse of hermit-like proclivity to avoid revealing personal details, opinions and beliefs. The trick is to try to satisfy that interest without leaving oneself entirely naked and I have not, as far as I know, committed myself in this book on race, religion, sex, politics or on the cricket correspondents of popular newspapers. A Right Ambition starts where every book on cricket should begin, with a small boy’s wish to wield a bat. It ends, like all good fairy stories, with that small boy having grown up to join an England team which won back the Ashes from Australia and with his joy and delight at having been able to play the game in so many wonderful places and to have made so many lasting friends.
The Rise and Fall of Renaissance France (Text Only)
¥122.33
If one stands by the west wall of the church at Penmarc’h, by the Atlantic coast in south-west Brittany, one sees how this building was intended to be on a grand scale. Founded in 1508, it was to be paid for by the shipbuilders and shipowners of the parish, a testimony to their wealth as well as to their faith. The heads of three of them are depicted on the wall. Penmarc’h was then one of the most important and flourishing ports of France, sending ships south to Portugal and north to Britain, trading in fish and wine. It was natural that carvings of ships, fish, seagulls and sailors should decorate the church walls. But the great tower which was to crown the west wall was never completed. No statues were erected. Penmarc’h’s prosperity rapidly disappeared as the discovery of Newfoundland brought activity to the Normandy coast and as larger ships, some as large as 300 tons, took over the trade. The flat-bottomed boats of Penmarc’h, which were beached on the sand and on the river-beds, could not compete. Penmarc’h fell into obscurity, its only fame being its legends. A sad song tells how at night its people used to set up decoy lights to lure ships on to the rocks. One night they wrecked a ship only to discover that it had on board their own children, who drowned before their eyes.

La cincisprezece ani, am nceput s scriu poveti despre fete curajoase aflate n situaii dificile. ns am rmas cu convingerea – e adevrat, tot mai accentuat – c cei mai mari povestitori sunt brbaii i c, dac vrei s scrii, trebuie s nvei s povesteti ca ei.“ – Elena Ferrante O capodoper modern a uneia dintre scriitoarele italiene cele mai apreciate, Prietena mea genial este o poveste complex i emoionant despre dou prietene, Elena i Lila.

Prietenia lor rmne profund, n ciuda drumurilor diferite pe care le va purta destinul. Prezentnd vieile a dou femei, Ferrante spune povestea unei mahalale, a unui ora i a unei ri care sufer transformri ce vor influena, la rndul lor, relaia dintre protagoniste, memorabilele Elena i Lila. Cine va reui s lase n urm universul dur al unei copilrii pe jumtate condamnate – Lilla cea descurcrea i ntreprinztoare sau Elena cea sfioas, ndrgostit de romane i pasionat de digresiuni filosofice Elena i Lila simbolizeaz o naiune supus unor transformri majore, iar portretul pe care Ferrante l face eroinelor sale reprezint o impresionant meditaie asupra istoriei i a prieteniei dintre oameni. Elena Ferrante este pseudonimul unei romanciere italiene. A publicat ase cri, printre care Amore molesto i I giorni dell 'abbandono, descris ca rvitoare“ de ctre prestigiosul cotidian New York Times.

A fascinating genuine narrative formed in the crucible of Golden Age Hip-Hop mindfulness.

Tragedy Khadafi is as real as it gets. Through impressive MC skills and a for-midable street reputation, he lived the life of an original hoodlum, surviving gun-shot wounds, stabbings and broken bones. The compelling lyrical message of Brand Nubian reflects on the group's identity as Five-Percenters and the philoso-phy of the Nation of Gods and Earth, while Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth arrived on the scene in the midst of a Hip-Hop impasse of sorts.? New York State of Mind 1.0 is a candid look deep inside the psyche of each and an examination of what makes them tick. Take a ride alongside them and learn how they made their mark in a generation.

Nathaniel Cruz már akkor belebolondult Alexis Woodville-be, amikor a lány a gimnáziumban egy szerencsétlen baleset folytán, fejen találta ?t egy focilabdával. A cserfes és csábos, v?r?s hajú lány szó szerint levette a fiút lábáról. Egyikük sem sejtette, hogy a spontán vonzalom életre szóló bilincset tesz majd a szívükre, de katasztrofális id?zítés és egy buta véletlen hosszú id?re elszakítja ?ket egymástól. ?vekkel kés?bb Nathaniel már a világhír? futballsztár csillogónak látszó életét éli, szívében azonban még mindig megszállottja Alexisnek. Véletlen találkozásukkor felszínre t?rnek a régóta eltitkolt vágyak, ám hiába tombol k?z?ttük a szenvedély, a féltékenység és birtokolni vágyás megint szétválasztja ?ket. Amikor útjaik kés?bb újra keresztezik egymást, hatalmas dilemma el?tt állnak. K?vetve a szívük vágyát, megadják-e magukat az oly régóta elnyomott szenvedélynek, vagy feláldozzák a szerelmet a felel?sségtudat oltárán. Ez Alexis és Nathaniel érzéki, szenvedélyes t?rténete. Remélem, annyira élvezitek majd olvasni, mint amennyire én az írást élveztem!
