Описание:
The Shockoe Slip Gang is at it again In another action-packed adventure, Sally and Andrew are visiting their Cousin Anne's farm on the edge of Virginia's wild and beautiful Great Dismal Swamp. The siblings plan to camp out with their friend Robin, who lives in the Swamp and who knows the huge wilderness like the back of his hand. Rumors of an enormous ghost in the Swamp have had the area in a turmoil, but only Robin knows what the 'ghost' really is: a beautiful, red gold horse. When the kids hear the Game Warden is organizing a search, they set out to find the creature on their own They paddle deeper and deeper into the Swamp, entranced by what they see - animals, birds, huge trees, dark waters - ignoring Cousin Anne's orders not to venture so far into a place largely unexplored since George Washington's time. But when they realize they've gone too far to turn back before dark, what was by day a sunlit paradise turns menacing. Stalked by a marauding bear, their adventure becomes even more terrifying. And when a lightning strike starts a wildfire in the Swamp's peat soil, it endangers not only the children but Robin's family and their cabin. Will they be able to outrun the growing blaze, and survive? It will take all their courage, brains, determination and a remarkable horse, in yet another thrilling adventure in The Shockoe Slip Gang series.

Описание:
It is the start of a typical hot Richmond, Virginia summer; the first for 12 year-old Sally Corbett and her younger brother Andrew since losing their father the year before. Sally longs to do nothing but read all summer, but finds herself conscripted into her brother's ambitious lawn & pet care services that keeps him hustling all over town.
Everyone's bucolic summer routine is devastated when thieves break into the city's Fine Arts museum and steal part of a major new exhibit of antique American toys, assembled from all over the country. The colonial era toys, some owned by the Founding Fathers, are believed to have been used to communicate coded messages between spies in secret from the British before the American Revolution. As Mrs. Corbett is the exhibit's senior curator, and the theft seriously endangers the museum's reputation and therefore their mother's job, Sally and Andrew instantly decide that they are going to find the toys and get every last one of them back. When the police and their parents tell them to stay out of it, naturally they go underground. As the fast-paced action scenes play out against the languid summer setting, the energetic and enterprising kids face all challenges with initiative, brains and determination, and in the end, serious guts.
The Shockhoe Slip Gang stars a strong, smart heroine; and her resourceful brother. At its core it is a family story. And it's a classic literary mystery with a historical mystery giving it even more of a twist.

Описание: American readers have been fascinated, since their exposure to Japanese culture late in the nineteenth century, with the brief Japanese poem called the
"hokku" or "haiku." The seventeen-syllable form is rooted in a Japanese tradition of close observation of nature, of making poetry from subtle suggestion. Infused by its great
practitioners with the spirit of Zen Buddhism, the haiku has served as an example of the power of direct observation to the first generation of American modernist poets like Ezra Pound
and William Carlos Williams and also as an example of spontaneity and Zen alertness to the new poets of the 1950's. This definite collection brings together in fresh translations by an
American poet the essential poems of the three greatest masters: Matsuo Basho in the seventeenth century; Yosa Buson in the eighteenth century; and Kobayashi Issa in the early
nineteenth century.
Robert Haas has written a lively and informed introduction, provided brief examples by each poet of their work in the halibun, or poetic prose form, and
included informal notes to the poems. This is a useful and inspiring addition to The Essential Poets series.

A new volume of poetry from Robert Hass is always an event. In Summer Snow, his first collection of poems since 2010, Hass further affirms his position as one of our most highly regarded living poets. Hass's trademark careful attention to the natural world, his subtle humor, and the delicate but wide-ranging eye he casts on the human experience are fully on display in his masterful collection. Touching on subjects including the poignancy of loss, the serene and resonant beauty of nature, and the mutability of desire, Hass exhibits his virtuosic abilities, expansive intellect, and tremendous readability in one of his most ambitious and formally brilliant collections to date.
