In the Shadow of the Cypress
ISBN: 9781439169919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thomas Steinbeck has been praised by Publishers Weekly for his stylistic brilliance and "accomplished voice." Now, his enthralling novel In the Shadow of the Cypress blends history and suspense with literary mastery and brings vivid realism to California's rich heritage. In 1906, the Chinese in California lived in the shadows. Their alien customs, traditions, and language hid what they valued from their neighbors . . . and left them open to scorn and prejudice. Their communities were ruled--and divided--by the necessity of survival among the many would-be masters surrounding...

Tortilla Flat
ISBN: 9780140187403 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Steinbeck is an artists; and he tells the stories of these lovable thieves and adulterers with a gentle and poetic purity of heart and of prose." New York Herald Tribune
Adopting the structure and themes of the Arthurian legend, John Steinbeck created a Camelot on a shabby hillside above the town of Monterey, California, and peopled it with a colorful band of knights. At the center of the tale is Danny, whose house, like Arthur s castle, becomes a gathering place for men looking for adventure, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging men who fiercely resist the corrupting tide of...

Unterwegs Verlag Reiseführer Seychellen
ISBN: 9783861123644 / Niemiecki / Book / 2024 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Inselträume werden wahr!Mit den Seychellen scheint den Göttern der große Wurf gelungen: Als hätten sie sich hier als Bildhauer betätigt, die bizarren Granitfelsen eigens aus dem Stein gemeißelt und geschliffen, den Sand so lange gemahlen, bis er puderfein ist und zu allem Überfluss den Malerpinsel ausgepackt, sodass die Palmen nirgendwo grüner, dass Meer nirgends blauer und die Strände nirgends weißer sind. So ist die afrikanische Inselgruppe im Indischen Ozean zum Inbegriff des Urlaubsparadieses geworden. Ein Ort für nachhaltigen Luxustourismus, der seine Besucher durch den Preis...

Steinbeck: Citizen Spy
ISBN: 9780989029391 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This changes everything we thought we knew about John Steinbeck. After languishing in the CIA's archives for 60 years, a letter is uncovered in John Steinbeck's own hand that shatters everything history tells us about the author's life. Written in 1952, to CIA Director Walter Bedell Smith, Steinbeck makes an offer to become an asset for the Agency during a trip to Europe later that year. More shocking than Steinbeck's letter is Smith's reply accepting John's proposal. Discovered by author Brian Kannard, these letters create the tantalizing proposal that John Steinbeck was, in fact, a CIA spy....
