Treachery at Sharpnose Point: Unraveling the Mystery of the Caledonia's Final Voyage
ISBN: 9780156027052 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While walking through a cliff-top graveyard in the town of Morwenstow on the coast of Cornwall, the author encounters a wooden Scottish figurehead that once adorned the Caledonia, a ship wrecked on the English coast in 1842. Through further investigation, Seal begins to suspect the townspeople, and chiefly the town's parson, Robert Hawker, for the Caledonia's demise on the jagged shores below. Though no one has ever been brought to court for "wrecking"--luring ships ashore to loot the cargo--it's a commonly held belief that this sort of cruelty did take place. But, is that what...

ISBN: 9780330343626 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is Jeremy Seal's quest, by means of a fez, for the heart of a country culturally and spiritually at odds with herself. The fez's opposing associations - both revered Eastern-Islamic headdress and banal tourist souvenir - exactly reflects Turkey's cultural faultline. While Turkey pays court to the EC and becomes the latest mecca for mass-tourism, the resurgent voices of Islamic traditionalism and Kurdish separatism are stark reminders of the country's complex cultural topography.
