Guard of Honor
ISBN: 9780156376099 / Angielski / Miękka / 1964 / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Guard of Honor is a neglected masterpiece that stands comparison with the greatest novels of the Second World War--essayist Noel Perrin deemed it "probably the best war novel of the twentieth century."
James Gould Cozzens's Guard of Honor won the Pulitzer Prize in 1949. The novel balances a vast cast of intricately enmeshed characters as they react over the course of three tense days in September 1943 to a racial incident on a U.S. Army airbase in Florida. The reader is acutely aware of the war raging abroad and the effect it has had, or will have, on the multitude of...

The Children's Plutarch: Tales of the Greeks
ISBN: 9781781390207 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the Parallel Lives of Plutarch, written in the first century A.D., Plutarch alternated between Greek and Roman biographies to show how both societies had produced worthy and honourable citizens. F. J. Gould, in his translation for children, decided it would be less confusing for his young readers if he divided the book into two halves, one volume on Greeks and the other on Romans. Here we have the Greek half, which re-tells the ancient tales of virtue and nobility in clear and simple prose; it also includes plenty of help in pronouncing the exotic names of the characters and successfully...

Men and Brethren
ISBN: 9780929587080 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Reverend Ernest Cudlipp, almost 45, urbane and intelligent, is vicar of a prominent Fifth Avenue church in New York. Men and Brethren follows him through a singularly eventful summer weekend, his dealings with parishioners and friends, his professional and personal relationships. His solutions to the problems he confronts are characteristically forthright, often unorthodox, a product of the struggle between his beliefs and his experience. Mr. Cozzens has written a deceptively powerful novel, filled with ironical intelligence, incisive portraiture, and onrushing action. "Altogether vivid,...

Americans in Sumatra
ISBN: 9789401181952 / Angielski / Miękka / 1961 / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There is a common belief that until recently Americans have preferred isolation to interest in remote areas such as Southeast Asia. This thesis can be tested by examining the history of American relations with a place on the opposite side of the globe from the United States. Such a land is Sumatra. It is one of the largest islands in the world. Its I66,789 square mile area exceeds that of the third largest American state, California, and is larger than Italy. Lying halfway around the world from the United States, its I050 mile length is almost divided by the equator, which runs across it for...

Marstons Mills
ISBN: 9781531666262 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Marstons Mills is a picturesque, rural village in Barnstable on Cape Cod. With wide-open spaces that were once farmland of Mystic Lake Dairy and Clear Lake Duck Farm, Marstons Mills is a community that has always relied on its rich natural resources. The Marstons Mills River, one of the best herring runs on the Cape, was responsible for powering the mills that processed wool from local herds. The same river also played a role in the local cranberry industry. Its headwaters rose in the cranberry bogs, where the large-scale production of cranberries first began in America. In the village center...

Various experiences motivated them to consider questions about health and ultimately share their knowledge with others.

Understanding Prayer for the Dead
ISBN: 9781498286107 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Throughout history Christians have prayed for the dead--both for continual growth of the faithful and for their advancement from purgatory, though not for the deliverance of the unsaved from hell. This book defends all three kinds of prayer. It challenges Protestants, who seldom pray for the dead, to begin doing so--and Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, who pray only for the Christian dead, to include the unsaved as well. James Gould addresses the biblical credentials of prayer for the dead and provides a historical overview of such prayers from ancient Christianity to the current...
