Objímky z éry 'Triangle Knob' byly známé tím, že měly až 18 různých obvodů ve stejném stylu krytu během nekonzistentních prvních let na EH v NYC. Některé z těchto obvodů zněly nádherně, některé ne až tak skvěle. Po dokončení tak potřebných oprav a po prvním brnknutí akordu, který pronikl přes pedál, všichni v obchodě okamžitě věděli, že je to skutečně jeden z těch DOBRÝCH OBVODŮ. Se svými keramickými kondenzátory, lichými hodnotami komponentů a rezistory s uhlíkovým složením nevypadaly vnitřně hezky, ale tón byl krásný.

A brand-new translation of a philosophical classic of the ancient world, The Teaching of Ptahhatp, written in Egypt 4,000 years ago. The Teaching of Ptahhatp, composed two millennia before the birth of Plato, is the oldest surviving statement of philosophy in the ancient world and the earliest witness to the power of the written word. It ought to begin the list of the world's philosophy classics, yet it has been largely forgotten since it was rediscovered in the nineteenth century.Egyptologist Bill Manley's new translation corrects this oversight, rendering into approachable modern English for the first time Ptahhatp's profound yet practical account of 'the meaning of life', written many centuries before the supposed dawn of western philosophy. Manley introduces Ptahhatp, who served as Vizier to the Old Kingdom pharaoh Izezi (c. 2410-2375 BC), and the world of dynamic ideas and new technologies - writing among them - within which he worked, illuminating the nuances of his language and philosophy.In addition, Manley's new translation of Why Things Happen, the oldest surviving account of creation from anywhere in the world, reveals how Ptahhatp's account of the human condition is founded in distinctive ancient Egyptian beliefs about the nature of truth and reality. Taken together, Manley's new translations and expert commentary provide a new perspective on the Pyramid Age and overturn traditional prejudices about the origins of writing and philosophy. The 'oldest book in the world' is a testament to a common thread that connects humanity across time; Ptahhatp grapples with the pitfalls of greed, ambition, celebrity, success, confrontation, friendship, sex and even the office environment, and his teachings remain remarkably relevant in the modern day.

From Monika Helfer s award-winning, internationally bestselling wartime trilogy, based on her own family. Translated into English for the first time. We called him Vati, Dad. Not Father, not Papa.That s what he wanted. He thought it sounded modern. He wanted to present himself to us, and through us, as a man in tune with the modern age.Though he seemed to come from nowhere. Josef was an illegitimate child, a charity case from Salzburg, schooled by a benefactor. He was drafted to fight in the Second World War while still at school and sent to Russia, returning with only one leg.He married his nurse, and brought his family to the high, idyllic slopes of the Austrian Alps, where he took a position as manager of a home for injured soldiers, a strangely suspended, deeply isolated place with a remarkable library. He was a man of many mysteries. To his daughter, Monika, none was greater than his obsession with these cloistered, crumbling books, his great treasure and secret amidst a country barrelling away from the memory of war.Beautifully written, restrained, and memorable, Library for the War-Wounded turns a real life into great literature by confronting the universal question: Who are our parents, really?
