Condition: Gut. 49. - 57. Tausend. 250 (6) Seiten. Umschlaggestaltung: Walter Hellmann. Lesetipp des Bouquinisten! Guter Zustand. «Ein grausiger Mord geschieht, keiner kennt den Mörder, aber jeder weiß von einer offenen Hintertür und Spuren im Schnee . Stewart O'Nan spürt die großen Tragödien menschlicher Verstrickungen auf. Meisterhaft beschreibt er kleine Demütigungen und Mißverständnisse im täglichen Leben, unerfüllte Hoffnungen rund um Liebe und Leid, die zu Dramen eskalieren. Sein spannendes Erzählwerk ist zum Heulen traurig und voller Schönheit, seine Sprache genau und von bestechendem Charme. Die literarische Szene ist um einen exzellenten Erzähler reicher geworden.» (Der Spiegel) - Stewart O'Nan (born February 4, 1961) is an American novelist. Life and work: Born on February 4, 1961 to John Lee O'Nan and Mary Ann O'Nan, née Smith. He and his brother were raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He earned his B.S. at Boston University in 1983. While in Boston, O'Nan became a fan of the Red Sox. On October 27, 1984, he married Trudy Anne Southwick, his high school sweetheart. They moved to Long Island, New York, and he went to work for Grumman Aerospace Corporation in Bethpage, New York, as a test engineer from 1984 to 1988. Encouraged by his wife to pursue a career in writing, they moved to Ithaca, New York, and O'Nan returned to college and graduated with his M.F.A. from Cornell University in 1992. He and his family moved to Edmond, Oklahoma, and taught at the University of Central Oklahoma and the University of New Mexico. O'Nan's first book, and only collection of short stories, In the Walled City, was awarded the 1993 Drue Heinz Literature Prize. The same year, he was able to find a publisher for his second book, and first novel, Snow Angels based on the story "Finding Amy" from In the Walled City when the manuscript earned him the first Pirate's Alley Faulkner Prize for the Novel, awarded by the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society of New Orleans. In 2007 Snow Angels was adapted for a film of the same title, directed by David Gordon Green, who also wrote the screenplay, and starring Sam Rockwell and Kate Beckinsale. In 1995 he and his family moved to Avon, Connecticut. He was a writer-in-residence and taught creative writing at Trinity College in nearby Hartford until 1997. The research he did for his novel The Names of the Dead led to the creation of a class that studied Vietnam War memoirs as a form of literature, which he also initially taught. In 1996, Granta named him one of America's Best Young Novelists. In a 2002 article, "Finding Time to Write", he wrote: "Very simple things like keeping the manuscript with you at all times. Always keep it with you. That way you can always go back to it. Doesn't have to be the whole manuscript. Another way to do this is to bring only the very last sentence that you worked on--where you left off, basically. Bring it with you on a sheet of paper or index card. Keep it on your person so that if you're running around the building where you're working, you take that five seconds to pull it out and look at it and say, "Okay, oh, maybe I'll do this with it. Maybe I'll do something else with it. Maybe I'll fix it there." When he researched The Circus Fire, he advertised in The Hartford Courant and received more than 500 answers to his request for interviews with survivors of the Hartford Circus fire. In the spring of 2005 O'Nan spoke at the Lucy Robbins Welles Library in Newington, Connecticut, as the featured author in their One Book 4 Towns program. When asked about Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season, the book he co-authored with Stephen King, O'Nan replied, "Who would have thought that writing a book about the Red Sox would be the luckiest thing I ever did in my life." In 2008, Lonely Road Books sold out their pre-orders for O'Nan's latest writing, a screenplay simply titled Poe. It is a dramatic retelling of the life of Edgar Allan Poe. The screenplay was released as a limited edition of 200 copies and as a lettered edition of 26 copies. It features a foreword by Roger Corman, and frontispieces by Jill Bauman. wikipedia-Stewart_O%27Nan Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 230 19 cm. Taschenbuch. Kartoniert.

Condition: Gut. Lizenzausgabe. 253 (3) Seiten. Lesetipp des Bukinisten! Guter Zustand. Mit einer privaten Widmung auf dem Vortitel. «Warum ich die Leute umgebracht hab? Ich hab sie nicht umgebracht. Ich war zwar dabei, aber umgebracht hab ich keinen. Ich weiß noch genau, wie's passiert ist. Eigentlich war's ziemlich öde. Ziemlich normal. Ich glaub nicht, daß es die Leser sonderlich interessieren wird. Aber manchmal war's doch richtig komisch.» Margie Standiford sitzt in der Todeszelle eines Gefängnisses in Oklahoma, Stunden vor der Hinrichtung, und spricht ihre Lebensgeschichte auf Band. Sie erzählt, wie sie zur «Speed Queen» wurde. «Die Speed Queen» ist ein atemloser, erotischer Roman, erzählt zum Klang des rockenden Autoradios auf endlosen Highways und im Ton einer klassischen Tragödie, die sich zwischen Burger-Bratereien und Truckstops verirrt hat. - Stewart O'Nan (born February 4, 1961) is an American novelist.

Van Luck delivers a highly personal account of the war, writing vividly about the soldiers he fought against and the terrain he fought on. Field Marshal Rommel, portrayed in decisive action as well as in contemplative thought, is a particularly dominant personality. But it is the ordinary German soldier who emerges as the real hero of the book. As an established protégé of Field Marshal Rommel, Colonel Hans von Luck commanded a German Panzer tank division during World war II. For his courageous behavior, he was awarded his country's highest military decorations. Hans-Ulrich Freiherr von Luck und Witten (15 July 1911 - 1 August 1997), usually shortened to Hans von Luck, was a German officer in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany during World War II. Luck served with the 7th Panzer Division and 21st Panzer Division. Luck is author of the book Panzer Commander. Through the winter of 1931 1932, Luck attended a nine-month course for officer cadets, led by then Captain Erwin Rommel, at the infantry school in Dresden. After the war Luck was interned at GUPVI forced labor camp 518/I in Tkibuli Georgia, a camp for POWs and internees, similar to a GULAG camp. He was released in December 1949 and returned to West Germany. He became involved in veterans' associations, and was frequently asked to lecture at military schools. He spoke annually for the British Staff college during their summer tours of the Normandy battlefields, and subsequently was asked to speak at a number of other military seminars. He was a participant in the UK's Ministry of Defence Army Department film presentation on Operation Goodwood Lectures. Through his involvement as a speaker at military lectures he came to be good friends with several of his former adversaries, including Brigadier David Stileman, Major Alastair Morrison of the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards, and Major John Howard of the British 6th Airborne Division. He also formed a friendship with popular historian Stephen Ambrose, who encouraged him to write his memoirs, which was titled Panzer Commander. A stunning look at World War II from the other side. From the turret of a German tank, Colonel Hans von Luck commanded Rommel's 7th and then 21st Panzer Division. El Alamein, Kasserine Pass, Poland, Belgium, Normandy on D-Day, the disastrous Russian front?von Luck fought there with some of the best soldiers in the world. Awarded the German Cross in Gold and the Knight's Cross, von Luck writes as an officer and a gentleman. Told with the vivid detail of an impassioned eyewitness, his rare and moving memoir has become a classic in the literature of World War II, a first-person chronicle of the glory?and the inevitable tragedy?of a superb soldier fighting Hitler's war.

Trade paperback. Condition: Good. Second printing [stated]. x, 438 pages. Illustrations (many with color). Index. Minor wear and soiling noted. Stephen John Fry (born 24 August 1957) is an English actor, broadcaster, comedian, director, narrator and writer. He first came to prominence as one half of the comic double act Fry and Laurie, alongside Hugh Laurie, with the two starring in A Bit of Fry & Laurie (1989-1995) and Jeeves and Wooster (1990-1993). He also starred in the sketch series Alfresco (1983-1984) alongside Laurie, Emma Thompson and Robbie Coltrane, and in Blackadder (1986-1989) alongside Rowan Atkinson. Since 2011, he has served as president of the mental health charity Mind. Fry's film acting roles include playing his idol Oscar Wilde in the film Wilde (1997), for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor; Inspector Thompson in Robert Altman's murder mystery Gosford Park (2001); and Mr. Johnson in Whit Stillman's Love & Friendship (2016). He has also had roles in the films Chariots of Fire (1981), A Fish Called Wanda (1988), The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004), V for Vendetta (2005), and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011). He portrays the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland (2010) and its 2016 sequel, and the Master of Lake-town in the film series adaptation of The Hobbit. Between 2001 and 2017, he hosted the British Academy Film Awards 12 times. When he arrived at Cambridge he was a convicted thief, an addict, and a failed suicide, convinced that he would be expelled. Instead, university life offered him love and the chance to entertain. He befriended bright young things like Hugh Laurie, the star of House, and Emma Thompson. This is the hilarious and utterly compelling story of how the Stephen the world knows (or thinks it knows) took his first steps in the worlds of theater, radio, television, and film. Tales of scandal and champagne jostle with insights into hard-earned stardom. The Fry Chronicles is not afraid to confront the chasm that separates public image from private feeling, and it is marvelously rich in trademark wit and verbal brilliance. Derived from a Kirkus review: Actor and bestselling author Fry's always charming memoir of "a late adolescence and early manhood crowded with incident." In this second installment of the author's ongoing autobiographical project, the British comedian tells the story of his student years at Cambridge and early professional life at BBC radio and television. After a youth filled with "suicide attempts, tantrums and madness" and a stint in prison for petty theft and fraud, Fry buckled down and demonstrated his ample intellect by winning a scholarship to read English at Queens' College. He immersed himself in the Cambridge arts scene and joined the prestigious Footlights Club, which had also nurtured the comic talents of Eric Idle and John Cleese. Fry also developed close and enduring friendships with such future luminaries of the stage and screen as Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson. His voice and unrepentantly Wildean wit became signature trademarks, and although he "loved every single thing about acting," he found even greater success as a writer. While he was still an undergraduate, his comic play Latin! played to sold-out audiences at the 1980 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Five years later, his revised version of the musical Me and My Gal became an award-winning smash hit on Broadway and London's West End and the vehicle that propelled him from BBC respectability and into stardom. Punctuating the detailed accounts of Fry's professional triumphs are the funny, at times heartbreaking revelations that truly define him. With humility, he describes his tooth-destroying sugar addiction, financial excesses and the "vulnerability, fear, insecurity, doubt, inadequacy, puzzlement and inability to cope" he hid from others and that would eventually lead him down even more destructive paths than those he had already traveled as a youth. Confessional humor at its warm and wicked best.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - '[In THE NINTH METAL] debris from a comet drops a fabulously valuable new metal on Northfall, MN., turning it into a bloody, brawling boomtown. Great characters, fine writing, totally engrossing.'Stephen King'Take one part dystopia, one part sci-fi, two parts apocalypse, then ride them roughshod through a bleak and bloody western, and it still wouldn't get close to what Ben Percy does here, which is blow open the core of humanity's dark heart.'Marlon James, Booker Prize award-winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf'Whether you choose to think of him as the Elmore Leonard of rural Minnesota or the Stephen King of Science Fiction, Ben Percy-with his extraordinary and unrelenting eye-dishes up humanity like some kind of otherworldly blue plate special, at once deeply familiar and wildly new.'Margaret Stohl, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Caster Chronicles'When Benjamin Percy publishes a novel, I have got to read that novel. The Ninth Metal continues his streak of thrilling, incisive genre bending goodness. It's a sci-fi novel, a crime novel and a super-hero novel, too. Audacious and intelligent and exactly what I was dying to read.'Victor LaValle, author of The ChangelingIT BEGAN WITH A COMET?At first, people gazed in wonder at the radiant tear in the sky. A year later, the celestial marvel became a planetary crisis when Earth spun through the comet's debris field and the sky rained fire.The town of Northfall, Minnesota will never be the same. Meteors cratered hardwood forests and annihilated homes, and among the wreckage a new metal was discovered. This 'omnimetal' has properties that make it world-changing as an energy source?and a weapon.John Frontier-the troubled scion of an iron-ore dynasty in Northfall-returns for his sister's wedding to find his family embroiled in a cutthroat war to control mineral rights and mining operations. His father rightly suspects foreign leaders and competing corporations of sabotage, but the greatest threat to his legacy might be the US government. Physicist Victoria Lennon was recruited by the Department of Defense to research omnimetal, but she finds herself trapped in a laboratory of nightmares. And across town, a rookie cop is investigating a murder that puts her own life in the crosshairs. She will have to compromise her moral code to bring justice to this now lawless community.In this gut-punch of a novel, the first in his Comet Cycle, Ben Percy lays bare how a modern-day goldrush has turned the middle of nowhere into the center of everything, and how one family-the Frontiers-hopes to control it all. 304 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - '[In THE NINTH METAL] debris from a comet drops a fabulously valuable new metal on Northfall, MN., turning it into a bloody, brawling boomtown. Great characters, fine writing, totally engrossing.'Stephen King'Take one part dystopia, one part sci-fi, two parts apocalypse, then ride them roughshod through a bleak and bloody western, and it still wouldn't get close to what Ben Percy does here, which is blow open the core of humanity's dark heart.'Marlon James, Booker Prize award-winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf'Whether you choose to think of him as the Elmore Leonard of rural Minnesota or the Stephen King of Science Fiction, Ben Percy-with his extraordinary and unrelenting eye-dishes up humanity like some kind of otherworldly blue plate special, at once deeply familiar and wildly new.'Margaret Stohl, #1 New York Times best-selling author of the Caster Chronicles'When Benjamin Percy publishes a novel, I have got to read that novel. The Ninth Metal continues his streak of thrilling, incisive genre bending goodness. It's a sci-fi novel, a crime novel and a super-hero novel, too. Audacious and intelligent and exactly what I was dying to read.'Victor LaValle, author of The ChangelingIT BEGAN WITH A COMET?At first, people gazed in wonder at the radiant tear in the sky. A year later, the celestial marvel became a planetary crisis when Earth spun through the comet's debris field and the sky rained fire.The town of Northfall, Minnesota will never be the same. Meteors cratered hardwood forests and annihilated homes, and among the wreckage a new metal was discovered. This 'omnimetal' has properties that make it world-changing as an energy source?and a weapon.John Frontier-the troubled scion of an iron-ore dynasty in Northfall-returns for his sister's wedding to find his family embroiled in a cutthroat war to control mineral rights and mining operations. His father rightly suspects foreign leaders and competing corporations of sabotage, but the greatest threat to his legacy might be the US government. Physicist Victoria Lennon was recruited by the Department of Defense to research omnimetal, but she finds herself trapped in a laboratory of nightmares. And across town, a rookie cop is investigating a murder that puts her own life in the crosshairs. She will have to compromise her moral code to bring justice to this now lawless community.In this gut-punch of a novel, the first in his Comet Cycle, Ben Percy lays bare how a modern-day goldrush has turned the middle of nowhere into the center of everything, and how one family-the Frontiers-hopes to control it all.

Pasadena: The Early Years chronicles the founding of the community of Pasadena, Texas in the early 1890s and its subsequent agricultural history. The story ends on the eve of World War II and the opening of Champion's paper mill in 1937. With the neighboring petrochemical industries developing along the Houston Ship Channel and the subsequent demands unleashed by the war effort, Pasadena was transformed into an industrial community that has since grown to be the second largest city in Harris County and the fifteenth largest in the state. 9.25"x6.5", 484 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Pasadena is a city in the U.S. state of Texas, within the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metropolitan area. The area was founded in 1893 by John H. Burnett of Galveston, who named the area after Pasadena, California, because of the perceived lush vegetation. The Pasadena Volunteer Fire Department is the largest of all volunteer municipal fire departments in the United States. Prior to European settlement the area around Galveston Bay was settled by the Karankawa and Atakapan tribes, particularly the Akokisa, who lived throughout the Gulf coast region. Spanish explorers such as the Rivas-Iriarte expedition and José Antonio de Evia charted the bay and gave it its name. The pirate Jean Lafitte established a short-lived kingdom based in Galveston in the early 19th century with bases and hide-outs around the bay and around Clear Lake.[11] Lafitte was forced to leave in 1821 by the U.S. Navy. Following its declaration of independence from Spain the new nation of Mexico moved to colonize its northern territory of Texas by offering land grants to settlers both from within Mexico and from the nearby United States. The colony established by Stephen F. Austin and the Galveston Bay and Texas Land Company of New York rapidly began a wave of settlement around the bay. Following a coup in the Mexican government by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Texas revolted against Mexican rule in 1835. After several battles and skirmishes the final battle of the Texas Revolution took place near modern Pasadena on April 21, 1836. Santa Anna was captured at Vince's Bayou. Because this was the last conflict that led to the Mexican surrender, Pasadena and neighboring Deer Park have adopted the nickname "Birthplace of Texas". Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
