"This powerful novel is weird and soul-thrilling." — The Scotsman. Cyril Forrester, a young Englishman traveling on the Continent, chances to meet a secretive old man and his ward, a lovely young violinist named Valerie. Enthralled by Valerie''s beauty and disturbed by the elderly Egyptian''s depravity, Forrester follows the couple around Europe. A sinister plot is slowly revealed, in which a mummy''s curse threatens to destroy the Western world.Victorian readers had a passion for tales of mystery and intrigue in exotic settings, especially those involving supernatural powers. This ripping yarn was created by one of the era''s most popular writers of sensationalistic fiction. Pharos, the Egyptian is thought to have inspired the classic horror film The Mummy, and its gripping, action-packed story remains an enduringly compelling tale.

Austrálsky spisovateľ Guy Newell Boothby (1867 - 1905) patril koncom 19. storočia medzi najpopulárnejších autorov kriminálno-mystických románov v po anglicky hovoriacom svete. Jeho verných čitateľov fascinovali mierne ironické bizarné príbehy plné dômyselne skonštruovaných zápletiek, exotických svetov a tajuplných mužov i žien. Boothby síce spočiatku tvoril poviedky z austrálskeho života, ale veľmi rýchlo pochopil, po čom milovníci dobrodružných knižiek prahnú a začal sa naplno venovať žánrovej literatúre. Čoskoro sa stal jedným z najvyhľadávanejších tvorcov detektívky, sci-fi a gotického hororu. Jeho dielo je doslova zaplnené množstvom nevšedných postáv, medzi ktorými vynikajú najmä oslniví darebáci. S veľkou obľubou opisoval klasických nadprirodzených diablov z fin-de-si?cle gothic, miloval deformovaných šialencov, ale najväčšiu slávu mu priniesol sofistikovaný medzinárodný majstrovský zločinec doktor Nikola, ktorý sa neskôr stal predobrazom najväčšieho protivníka agenta 007 Jamesa Bonda v románoch Iana Fleminga. Najmä tvorcovia filmových "bondoviek" sa pri stvárňovaní nadnárodného ničomníka Ernsta Stavro Blofelda otvorene prihlásili k odkazu Boothbyho najznámejšej postavy. Oslnený čitateľským úspechom a podporou svojho priateľa Rudyarda Kiplinga chrlil Boothby jeden román za druhým a do svojej náhlej smrti ich publikoval vyše päťdesiat. Jeho najoslnivejším výtvorom však ostávajú knihy o nevšedných dobrodružstvách doktora Nikolu. Tohto nepolapiteľného a mefistofelovsky oslnivého zloducha s neuveriteľnými hypnotickými a okultnými schopnosťami označoval George Orwell ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A multi-faceted account of Egyptian economic development by nineteen internationally recognized authorities and the critical challenges the economy is likely to face in the next twenty yearsThe Egyptian Economy in the Twenty-first Century addresses the question of why Egypt, despite possessing a plethora of assets—such as a fertile agriculture, a strategic geographic location, oil and gas deposits, innumerable tourist sites, a labor force prized by regional countries, and a diaspora that remits large amounts of funds—has seldom performed to its economic potential during the last sixty years. Indeed, economic weakness created political weakness, and often exposed the country to foreign diktats. What should the country do to change this state of affairs?Nineteen internationally recognized authorities on the Egyptian economy discuss the critical challenges that the Egyptian economy is likely to face in the next two to three decades, challenges which must be overcome in order to improve the life of Egypt’s citizens and to protect the country from external pressures. Their analyses cover population and employment; development strategies; principal macroeconomic issues; development of a digital economy; fiscal and monetary matters; the external sector; poverty and income distribution; the enterprise structure; higher education; water availability; urbanization; institutional performance; and many others.Contributors:- ...

The Master Bomber for the raid was none other than Wing Commander Guy Penrose Gibson VC, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar. Along with his navigator, Squadron Leader James Warwick DFC, Gibson was flying Mosquito KB627 of 627 Squadron from RAF Coningsby, where he was serving as the Base Operations Officer.

Aged just 26, few in the country, if not across the Allied world as a whole, would not have heard his name or seen a picture of his face. It was his leadership of the daring Dambusters Raid, Operation Chastise, in May 1944 that firmly propelled him into the public’s eye – and ultimately led to his award of the Victoria Cross.

The story of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn is one of the most remarkable in history: a long courtship followed by a shotgun wedding and then a coronation, ending just short of three years later when a husband’s passion turned to such hatred that he simply wanted his wife gone.In Hunting the Falcon, John Guy and Julia Fox examine the most recent archival discoveries and peel back layers of historical myth to present Anne and Henry in startlingly new ways. They show how Anne and Henry's relationship was tied almost completely to the major events of international politics at one of the great turning points of European history, and dispel any assumptions that a sixteenth-century woman, even a queen, could exert little influence on the politics and beliefs of a patriarchal society. Anne was in fact a shrewd and ruthless politician in her own right, a woman who steered Henry and his policies - and whom Henry seriously contemplated making joint sovereign.Hunting the Falcon sets the facts and some completely new finds into a wide frame, unearthing the truth about these two extraordinary lives and their tumultuous times.

This Element demonstrates how ceramics, a dataset that is more typically identified with chronology than social analysis, can forward the study of Egyptian society writ large. This Element argues that the sheer mass of ceramic material indicates the importance of pottery to Egyptian life. Ceramics form a crucial dataset with which Egyptology must critically engage, and which necessitate working with the Egyptian past using a more fluid theoretical toolkit. This Element will demonstrate how ceramics may be employed in social analyses through a focus on four broad areas of inquiry: regionalism; ties between province and state, elite and non-elite; domestic life; and the relationship of political change to social change. While the case studies largely come from the Old through Middle Kingdoms, the methods and questions may be applied to any period of Egyptian history.

Of letting go each responsibility and cutting every tie. And I know I’m not the only one. But, when I learnt about the creative figures who left their lives behind, I began to ask myself: what is gained and what is lost when we withdraw from the world? To answer this question, Guy Stagg tells the story of three of the twentieth century’s most original minds: the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, the poet and painter David Jones, and the writer Simone Weil. All three went on retreat during times of crisis, to find their work and their lives changed for ever. Seeking to understand these experiences, Stagg follows Wittgenstein to the ancient monastery outside Vienna where he recovered from depression, sails to the isolated island off the Welsh coast where Jones discovered a new way to make art, and spends Lent at the forbidding French Abbey that sparked an epiphany in Weil’s thinking.
