Описание: Some Nightmares Beside each body, the killer leaves a simple charm bearing a woman`s name. The victims are strangers to each other, but they have been chosen with the utmost care. Each bears a striking resemblance to Kendall Shaw, a local TV presenter, and each is brutally strangled by a madman whose obsession will never end.
Central to the nineteenth-century Ottoman Tanzimat reform project, the novel originally developed outside of Ottoman space, yet was adopted as a didactic tool to model and generate new forms of Ottoman citizenship. Essays in this book explore the appropriation of the novel as a literary genre and its deployment in the late Ottoman cultural project of constructing an Ottoman modernity.
Analyzing key texts and authors, from the works of Ahmet Midhat Efendi to Mizanci Murad and Vartan Pasha, among others, the book's chapters explore the novel genre as far more than a case of importation of Western and non-Ottoman cultural productions, but rather as a vehicle for the cultivation of indigenous modern subjectivities.

Описание: Bach's Operas of the Soul is the first introduction for the general music lover to Bach's sacred cantatas to appear in nearly half a century. In clear and accessible language, Mark Ringer examines this vast output of masterpieces as the great musical dramatic creations that they are in order to open these works to a wider audience. Bach's sacred cantatas represent an almost superhuman artistic and spiritual achievement, arguably the richest investment by a great composer within a single genre. But outside of a handful of pieces, they remain a closed book to a majority of serious listeners already familiar with Bach's large-scale religious works. Nevertheless, the same musical-dramatic genius of Bach's Passions is fully evident in virtually all of the composer's sacred cantatas. This book's innovative approach to Bach's Sacred Cantatas is to think of them as sermons in musical-dramatic form, un-staged operas, planned for each occasion of the church year. Bach's ability to dramatize text through music is unmatched throughout history. His era relished dramatic contrast and Bach's use of the human voice offers a constantly changing pallet of vocal colors. The singers play 'roles' throughout the cantatas from penitent sinner, to ardent believer, to Christ himself. The emotions and dramatic situations expressed are as varied as the human condition. This book will be of use to readers interested in opera and vocal music who have already come to love Bach's Passions and who want to familiarize themselves with this wide array of masterpieces.
Tales of vengeance delivered by the hidden hand of a ruthless master of disguise
Practically everyone who has an appetite for the mystery, crime and thriller novels which were offered to the reading public during the inter-war years of the 20th century will be familiar with the substantial body of work produced by British author, Edgar Wallace. His imaginative penmanship brought forth, 'The Four Just Men', 'Sanders and Bones', 'J. G. Reeder', 'Inspector Elk' and many others. However, it was the principal character of the stories contained in this book that many authorities on the genre believe established Wallace in the highest echelon of the mystery writers of his time. The Ringer is an unrepentant anti-hero and vigilante of the most extreme type--for this nemesis does baulk at murdering his villainous victims. The Ringer is, in reality, Henry Arthur Milton, ruthless master of disguise, and it is the job of Inspector Wembury of Scotland Yard to catch him and bring him to justice, although that is easier said than done Despite his popularity with an avid readership, 'The Ringer' only appeared in two books, the 'The Ringer' and its sequel 'Again the Ringer' which is a short story collection in which, of course, The Ringer brings a diverse number of deserving reprobates to their just desserts. Both books appear in this special two-in-one good value Leonaur edition.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Описание: It was early in the 1970's when I rode the Jundah Plains, a small town but a vast countryside. I worked the Caplin Station, a large cattle station, heading towards Longreach. The mob in the yards were a wild bunch but reliable, they would always have your back. There was Noat, a name given to him whilst sharpening axes years ago, consequently a job not to be undertaken when drunk leaving him with no toes on his left foot. Then there was Terry, the Romanian with attitude (Huh Imagine that ) As well as the Taylor brothers, Dave and Jack.
