In October 1835, Samuel Burrows was slowly dying. Suffering from liver disease, the 63-year-old knew he had little time left to confess his sins. The Reverend William Clarke offered Burrows some religious guidance so he could attempt to salvage Burrows⠙s soul before the eyes of God. He knew the struggle that fell before him; after all, it was not every day that Clarke had to provide religious comfort to a man who had sent around 53 individuals to meet their maker. Burrows felt little remorse for his actions. In his view, the law was the law and they deserved their final punishment, a punishment which also provided Burrows with some much-needed income. Clarke spent a week with Burrows as he died. He attempted to help Burrows examine his life and career as Chester⠙s Hangman. Did they all deserve it as Burrows stubbornly believed?This book takes a deeper look at Chester⠙s infamous hangman and those he condemned to death by delving into the crimes they had committed. The book also looks at the social, economic, and political changes that the country endured during his 26-year career. From his days as a butcher and beadle to gaining employment as the city⠙s executioner during the era of the ⠜Bloody Code⠝ to the act s eventual repeal. The Noose of Samuel Burrows takes you on a journey through early 19th-century crime and punishment through the eyes of those who lived through it.

What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th century belongs to these two modes. The Weird and the Eerie are closely related but distinct modes, each possessing its own distinct properties. Both have often been associated with Horror, yet this emphasis overlooks the aching fascination that such texts can exercise. The Weird and the Eerie both fundamentally concern the outside and the unknown, which are not intrinsically horrifying, even if they are always unsettling. Perhaps a proper understanding of the human condition requires examination of liminal concepts such as the weird and the eerie. These two modes will be analysed with reference to the work of authors such as H. P. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, M.R. James, Christopher Priest, Joan Lindsay, Nigel Kneale, Daphne Du Maurier, Alan Garner and Margaret Atwood, and films by Stanley Kubrick, Jonathan Glazer and Christoper Nolan.

The Falkland Islands had been invaded and a Task Force was already steaming south at full speed. On board the carriers were the Harriers that would provide essential aerial cover for the British troops and ships sent to re-capture the islands. They would be entering particularly hostile territory, and the typeâ ™s capabilities had urgently to be expanded and proved. This was a job that Ron Burrows and the test pilots of his elite Fighter Test Squadron at Boscombe Down were ready to take on. From the 1960s through to the 1990s, Ron test-flew all of the RAFâ ™s fast-jets of the era, in the process of which he survived two crash landings and two emergency ejections, as well as numerous other close shaves. A master of his craft, he rose to become the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishmentâ ™s chief test pilot â “ and this is his remarkable story. With four test flying tours under his belt and close-air-support missions flying Hunters in the Aden Emergency, Ronâ ™s experiences extended throughout the critical final decades of the Cold War. Ron was a graduate of the US Navyâ ™s test pilot school and in his long career he has flown an unusually broad range of US and UK aircraft from fast-jets to heavy multi-engine aircraft. With his unrivalled knowledge and expertise, Ron is able to explain the methods, techniques, and demands of his profession, with many examples of what can and often does go wrong in aircraft development and testing. His descriptions of his near misses and catastrophic accidents are written with colour and candour. But he also tries to inform the reader about the skills required to fly and test fast-jets and about the development of cockpit displays and design, highlighting some of the issues and problems encountered in development and in operation. â ˜If it could go wrong, it will go wrongâ ™ could be the subtitle of this frank and witty account which flies along with the speed of one of those fast jets.

Podle Saxova výslechu (kdy mluví výlučně nelidským jazykem) a podle informací z razie související s drogami v pochybném klubu pomalovaném kouzelnými symboly a s hudbou z jiného světa, očekávají, že jsou na stopě něčeho hrůzostrašného… ale nic je nedokáže připravit na příšerné šílenství a nevyslovitelné hrůzy, kterým budou čelit v malém přístavním městě Salem. NEONOMIKON obsahuje komiksovou sérii Alana Moora z roku 2010, včetně původní povídky, VNITROBLOK, která popisuje tragické setkání Aldo Saxe s (poněkud) smrtelnými agenty Starých Bohů!

In 2017, Sophie Pierceâ ™s life changed forever when her twenty-year-old son Felix died suddenly and unexpectedly. Thrown into an unimaginable new reality, she had to find a way to survive. By writing letters to Felix â “ composed during walks and swims taken close to his burial place by the River Dart â “ Sophie gradually learned how to live in the landscape of sudden loss, navigating the weather and tides of grief. The Green Hill collects these letters alongside Sophieâ ™s account of the years following Felixâ ™s death, into which she weaves poignant memories of his life. What results is a deeply moving, beautifully captured record of how â “ amid the rivers and rocks of Dartmoor, and in the sea off the South Devon coast â “ Sophie was able to hold on to and nurture her bond with Felix, both in her mind and through a physical engagement with the landscape: actively mourning, rather than grieving. This book is a celebration of the natural world and the role it plays in our lives and relationships, as well as an examination of how beauty, a sense of place and the passing seasons can help us contend with our own mortality. Above all, The Green Hill is one womanâ ™s story of navigating through trauma and loss, and towards a fragile, complicated kind of joy. In The Green Hill, Sophie Pierce writes about the sudden death of her son Felix with an aching and gentle honesty. Struggling to come to terms with the loss not only of the young man he was, but everything that he would eventually become, she finds herself overwhelmed not only by grief, but also by love. Her writing is illuminated by a remarkable attention to the beauty and consolation of the natural world, and by the wisdom and tenderness which has been so painfully acquired. This is a book that will be a great comfort to those who need it Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent and Melmoth Unforgettable, necessary.

Jeho dcera proto nemá s ostatními slečnami ze svého okolí příliš společného. Nedbá totiž na zažité konvence a nepředstírá slabost a poddajnost, tak typické pro mladou dámu. Naopak se vždycky snaží prosadit svou, a co jí nechybí především, je smysl pro humor. Její chování je mnohým trnem v oku, a některé přímo pobuřuje!

Příběh, který vykouzlí úsměv na tváři.“ HISTORICKÁ ROMANCE PRO FANOUŠKY BRIDGERTONOVÝCH Georgette Heyerová (1902–1974) byla úspěšnou anglickou spisovatelkou. Psala zejména historické romance, v nichž svou emancipovaností nechala vyniknout ženským hrdinkám. Věnovala se však také žánru detektivky. Její příběhy se odehrávají převážně v kruzích vyšší společnosti a snoubí se v nich romantika, komedie, ale nechybí ani drama. Martina Hudečková (1964) se narodila v Praze. Vystudovala konzervatoř a věnuje se především divadlu, nejčastěji žánru konverzační komedie. Celých třináct let byla členkou Divadla Jiřího Wolkera, později působila například v pražské Redutě. V současné době spolupracuje s divadlem Palace. Vedle divadla je její hlavní doménou dabing, v němž se vypracovala na jednu nejobsazovanějších hereček. Několik let dabovala postavu Kelly Taylorové v seriálu Beverly Hills 90210, svůj podmanivý hlas propůjčila rovněž René Zellwegerové (Deník Bridget Jonesové), Helen Huntové (Vějíř lady Windermerové) či Jennifer Greyové (Hříšný tanec).

The true story of eighteenth-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream. When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie. For six years, Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France #39;s prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book #39;s illustrations). Award-winning author Cheryl Bardoe #39;s inspiring and poetic text is brought to life by acclaimed artist Barbara McClintock #39;s intricate pen-and-ink, watercolor, and collage illustrations in this true story about a woman who let nothing stop her.
