Gettysburg: The Turning Point in the Struggle between North and South
￥65.32
In June 1863, General Robert E. Lee and the 75,000-strong Army of Northern Virginia launched a second invasion of the North, crossing into Maryland and Pennsylvania to try to win a decisive victory over Federal forces. On July 1, Lee’s army encountered Major General Meade’s 90,000 strong Army of the Potamac at the small town of Gettysburg. After some initial success in dispersing the Federal advance guard, Lee launched attack after attack against the main army, but everywhere the Union line held. On July 3, Lee ordered a final assault of 12,500 Confederates at the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge, known as Pickett’s Charge. The charge was repulsed with huge loss of life, bringing the battle to an end. Today, Gettysburg is recognized as the turning point in the Civil War and one of the iconic battles of the great struggle between North and South. Lee’s gamble didn’t pay off, leaving the Army of Northern Virginia fatally weakened and unable to continue its invasion of the North. Gettysburg is divided into five chapters, outlining the campaign, the fighting on July 1, July 2, and July 3, as well as a chapter dealing with the aftermath; an extended appendices provides biographical background of the main Federal and Confederate leaders who fought in the battle.

Including more than 200 archival photographs, illustrations, paintings, and maps, Gettysburg is a colorful, accessible guide to the great battle that marked the turning point in the Civil War.

Deceptions and Lies
￥23.14
One terrorist, six hostages, a single bombing…?nothing out of the ordinary for task force operatives Alexandra Lansing and Mark Praed. With one exception; this request comes from the High Council on Kyree. An appeal from Kyree for task force help is peculiar enough for a planet where non-violence is practiced by all its citizens, but the Council is very specific in their choice of task force personnel: Mark Praed. Praed is baffled by the request. This is the same planet where his birth to a well born Kyreen female caused a galactic scandal, forcing his human father to flee Kyree with his half-human infant. The operatives travel to Kyree and meet with the High Council’s leader, Dame Ruthanon. Her orders are clear: the hostages are to be released and the terrorist captured, all without the use of violence. Alex and Praed are soon caught up in something more devious than the straight-forward capture of a terrorist. Nothing is as it appears, and what should have been a simple operation turns into a tangled mess of falsehoods, secret associations and hidden agendas.

- Megérdemlem én ezt - fordult hozzá a n. - Miért ne - kérdezett vissza a politikus. - Mi mégsem állunk egy oldalon - válaszolta a n, aki Nyugat-Európa egyik legdemokratikusabb és leggazdagabb államából érkezett, és a legcsekélyebb vonzalmat sem érezte a kommunista tanok és nézetek iránt. Külns feleletet kapott: - Barátok kztt ez nem számít.” Ez a fogalmazási mód még akkor is árulkodó, ha mgtte nem feltétlenül szinteséget kell keresni (bár teljességgel ezt sem lehet kizárni), hanem inkább taktikai szándékot. A politikusnak saját egészsége érdekében óriási szüksége volt az asszonyra. Betegsége évek óta kínozhatta, fájdalmainak megszüntetje a Svájcból érkezett asszony volt. Nem akarta elveszíteni gyógyítóját.

Mit tesz ebben a vadidegen krnyezetben és az Európától olyan távoli országban egy Svájcból érkezett hlgy, ha a helyi tévét bekapcsolva egyetlen pillanat alatt nyilvánvalóvá válik számára, hogy az azt megelz napokban nem mást kezelt, mint az ázsiai remetekirályság mindenható vezetjét, Kim Ir Szent Pontosan ebbe a helyzetbe került 1987-ben a Lausanne-ban él magyar származású Szilágyi Erzsébet, aki nem egyszeren belülrl látta a világ ell hermetikusan elzárt országot, hanem napi rendszerességgel másfél órán át kezelte a beteg és idsd diktátort. A terapeuta 1987-tl 1992-ig állt Kim Ir Szen alkalmazásában, aki gyógyulását ksznhette a svájci asszonynak, ezzel is cáfolva azt a kzkelet vélekedést, hogy utolsó éveiben elaggott és félreállított vezet lett volna az országalapító. A kezeléseket a tolmács segítségével végigbeszélgették, mély emberi kapcsolat alakult ki beteg és gyógyítója kztt. Szilágyi Erzsébet arról mesél ebben a knyvben: milyen embernek ismerte meg a mai napig rejtélyek vezte Kim Ir Szent. A svájci terapeuta olyan színfalak mgtt járt, és kapott olykor-olykor bepillantást az ott folyó eseményekbe, ahová rajta kívül egyetlen idegent sem engedtek be. Páratlan és egyedi, amit tud és látott. Phenjani élményeirl szóló beszámolója igazi világszenzáció - a mának is szóló tanulságokkal.

Malaria Андрея М. Мелехова – это необычный приключенческий роман о прошлом, настоящем и будущем. Читая его, мы становимся свидетелями последних месяцев существования СССР. Последний съезд КПСС, последний футбольный чемпион умирающей империи, первые ростки капитализма и начало раскола советского народа по национальному признаку. Война в Ираке и конфликт в Нагорном Карабахе. Несколько сот советских военных советников, специалистов и переводчиков, занесённых в раздираемую гражданской войной Анголу, служат, спекулируют, рассуждают о судьбе страны, любят женщин, торгуют запчастями от истребителей и иногда становятся героями. Планируют операции против партизан УНИТА, попадают в засады и чудом спасаются из сбитых вертолётов. Они с тоской читают советские газеты месячной давности и болеют малярией. Главный герой романа – юный офицер-переводчик, закончивший первый курс Военного института. Честный, справедливый и пока во многом наивный юноша. Волею судьбы восемнадцатилетний парень становится участником событий, призванных изменить судьбы мира на десятилетия вперёд. Как это ни странно, лишь в малярийном бреду ему открывается загадочная связь между далёким прошлым и далёким будущим...
