So even when the men were formed into three sides of a hollow square, they were scarcely able to distinguish one another in the uncertain light of the morning. There were about three hundred soldiers in the formation. They belonged to the volunteers, and they deployed upon the plain with their band in front playing a jaunty quickstep, while their officers galloped from one side to the other through the grass, seeking a suitable place for the execution. Outside the line the band still played merrily. A few men and boys, who had been dragged out of their beds by the music, moved about the...

She loved him so, that when he went away to a little war in which his country was interested she could not understand, nor quite forgive. As the correspondent of a newspaper, Chesterton had looked on at other wars; when the yellow races met, when the infidel Turk spanked the Christian Greek; and one he had watched from inside a British square, where he was greatly alarmed lest he should be trampled upon by terrified camels.

Der tollkühne Reiter
ISBN: 9783948114268 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Richard Harding Davis (1864 - 1916), dem US-amerikanischen Schriftsteller und Journalisten, gerieten alle seine Stories und Erzählungen zu authentischen Lebensbildern seiner Zeit. Die sozialen Gegensätze prallen hier deutlich aufeinander, ironisch gebrochen zum Beispiel durch die Figur des reichen jungen Gentleman Courtland VanBibber, der stets Gutes zu tun glaubt, dabei aber oft ganz unbekümmert über das Ziel hinausschießt. Kleine Ganoven wie Hefty Burke geraten zufällig in den Sog der internationalen Politik, Reisende Amerikaner erleben das Heraufziehen weltpolitischer Krisen,...

Head Off Stress
ISBN: 9780955451201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An infallible guide to eliminating stress by Douglas Harding, author of On Having No Head. When we come up against stressful situations in our everyday life our automatic reaction is to turn away and escape. If, on the other hand, we can accept stress, allow it to become part of us, the conflict disappears. The secret lies in seeing that either we are the No-thing that overcomes stress by excluding it or the Every-thing that overcomes stress by including it. This method of coping with stress applies to its many manifestations in our lives. It can turn boredom into joy and despondency into...

In common with many others who have been with Richard Harding Davis as correspondents, I find it difficult to realize that he has covered his last story and that he will not be seen again with the men who follow the war game, rushing to distant places upon which the spotlight of news interest suddenly centres.

It was from her mother she learned to speak French sufficiently well to satisfy even an Academician and, among Parisians, to pass as one. Both her parents were dead.

But when they were gone, Marie in the Berlin hospitals played politics, intrigued, indiscriminately misused the appealing, violet eyes....

"Please let me live " begged the mouse, "and some day I will do as much for you." "That is so funny," roared the king of beasts, "that we will release you. We had no idea mice had a sense of humor." And then, as you remember, the lion was caught in the net of the hunter, and struggled, and fought, and struck blindly, until his spirit and strength were broken, and he lay helpless and dying.

ISBN: 9781517210786 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This early work by Richard Harding Davis was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography.

And the Captain said: "I'm coming back a Major, Prentiss." But he never came back. And one day-the Lion remembered the day very well, for on that same day the newsboys ran up and down Jermyn Street shouting out the news of "a 'orrible disaster" to the British arms. It was then that a young lady came to the door in a hansom, and Prentiss went out to meet her and led her upstairs. They heard him unlock the Captain's door and say, "This is his room, miss," and after he had gone they watched her standing quite still by the...
