Hundred Days - Nick Lloyd - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

An unmissable book that explores the brutal, heroic and extraordinary final days of the First World War On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent.The Armistice, which brought the Great War to an end, marked a seminal moment in modern European and World history. Yet the story of how the war ended remains little-known. In this compelling and ground-breaking new study, Nick Lloyd examines the last days of the war and asks the question: how did it end? Beginning at the heralded turning-point on the Marne in July 1918, Hundred Days traces the epic story of the next four months, which included some of the bloodiest battles of the war.Using unpublished archive material from five countries, this new account reveals how the Allies - British, French, American and Commonwealth - managed to beat the German Army, by now crippled by indiscipline and ravaged by influenza, and force her leaders to seek peace. THE WESTERN FRONT BY NICK LLOYD IS AVAILABLE NOW ''This is a powerful and moving book by a rising military historian. Lloyd''s depiction of the great battles of July-November provides compelling evidence of the scale of the Allies'' victories and the bitter reality of German defeat'' Gary Sheffield (Professor of War Studies) ''Lloyd enters the upper tier of Great War historians with this admirable account of the war''s final campaign'' Publishers Weekly

The Book of Frank - Caconrad - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A visceral, surrealist tale of becoming, from the shamanic cult hero of contemporary queer poetry Beguiling, outrageous, playfully morbid and frequently stunning in its surreal flights of imagination, The Book of Frank follows the eponymous figure as he grows from his troubled childhood into an adult travesty of the ostensibly straight family man in a male-dominated world. Along the way, he navigates a series of darkly comic situations, commits acts of grotesque violence, loses his soul in the post and debates boundary lines with a pig. Frank is one of the great literary creations: a man who can declare that ''however we seek another''s weakness is our tyranny'', as often touchingly innocent as he is monstrously cruel. Called ''a contemporary masterpiece'' by Thurston Moore, a ''desert island book'' by Anne Boyer and ''this generation''s Dream Songs '' by Maggie Nelson, The Book of Frank is one of the crucial poetic works of this century so far. Now, on the 30th anniversary of the first Frank poems'' appearance, it is published in the UK for the first time.

The Western Front - Nick Lloyd - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

** The latest volume in the World War One trilogy, The Eastern Front, is out now **A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR ''A tour de force of scholarship, analysis and narration . . . Lloyd is well on the way to writing a definitive history of the First World War'' Lawrence James, The Times ''This well-researched, well-written and cogently argued new analysis . . . will undoubtedly now take its rightful place as the standard account of this vital theatre of the conflict'' Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny _________________ In the annals of military history, the Western Front stands as an enduring symbol of the folly and futility of war. However, as bestselling military historian Nick Lloyd reveals in this highly-praised history - the first of an epic trilogy -- the story is not one of pointlessness and stupidity, but rather a heroic triumph against the odds. With a cast of hundreds and a huge canvas of places and events, Lloyd tells the whole tale, revealing what happened in France and Belgium between August 1914 and November 1918 from the perspective of all the main combatants - including French, British, Belgian, US and, most importantly, German forces.Lloyd examines the most decisive campaigns of the Great War and explains the unprecedented innovation, adaptation and tactical development that have been too long obscured by legends of mud, blood and futility, drawing upon the latest scholarship on the war, wrongly overlooked first-person accounts, and archival material from every angle. Conveying the visceral assault of the battlefield with vivid detail, Lloyd ultimately redefines our understanding of a crucial theatre in this monumental tragedy._________________ ''Excellent on detail . . . Lloyd''s book will be cherished by military history buffs'' Max Hastings, Sunday Times ''It is the best modern single-volume history of war on the Western Front and is likely to remain the standard account for some time'' Jonathan Boff, The Spectator

God Save Texas - Lawrence Wright - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''This is a funny, pointed love letter to Texas, at once elegiac and clear-eyed'' Ben Macintyre, The Times From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Looming Tower, God Save Texas is a journey through the most controversial state in America. Texas is a Republican state in the heart of Trumpland that hasn''t elected a Democrat to a statewide office in more than twenty years; but it is also a state in which minorities already form a majority (including the largest number of Muslim adherents in the United States). The cities are Democrat and among the most diverse in the nation. Oil is still king but Texas now leads California in technology exports and has an economy only somewhat smaller than Australia''s.Lawrence Wright has written an enchanting book about what is often seen as an unenchanting place. Having spent most of his life there, while remaining deeply aware of its oddities, Wright is as charmed by Texan foibles and landscapes as he is appalled by its politics and brutality. With its economic model of low taxes and minimal regulation producing both extraordinary growth and striking income disparities, Texas, Wright shows, looks a lot like the America that Donald Trump wants to create.This profound portrait of the state, completed just as Texas battled to rebuild after the devastating storms of summer 2017, not only reflects the United States back as it is, but as it was and as it might be. As much the home of Roy Orbison and Willie Nelson as of J.R., Ross Perot and the Bush family, as filled with magical scenery as with desolate oil-fields and strip-malls, Texas is a bellwether, super-sized mass of contradictions: a life-long study.

The Diary of a Young Girl - Anne Frank - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK IS ''A MONUMENT TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT'' One of the most famous accounts of living under the Nazi regime comes from the diary of a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, Anne Frank. Edited by her father Otto H. Frank and German novelist Mirjam Pressler, this is a true story to be rediscovered by each new generation._________________________________ 12th July 1944: ''It''s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It''s a wonder I haven''t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.'' In the summer of 1942, fleeing the horrors of the Nazi occupation, Anne Frank and her family were forced into hiding in the back of an Amsterdam warehouse. Aged thirteen, Anne kept a diary of her time in the secret annexe. She movingly revealed how the eight people living under these extraordinary conditions coped with hunger, the daily threat of discovery and death and isolation from the outside world. A thought-provoking record of tension and struggle, adolescence and confinement, anger and heartbreak, the diary of Anne Frank is a testament to the atrocities of the past and a promise they will never be forgotten. _________________________________ ''One of the greatest books of the century'' Guardian ''Rings down the decades as the most moving testament to the persecution of innocence'' Daily Mail ''Astonishing and excruciating.

The Plague Year - Lawrence Wright - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''A virtuoso feat ... a book of panoramic breadth'' New York Times Book Review ''A devastating analysis ... Wright is a master of knitting together complex narratives'' The Observer Just as Lawrence Wright''s The Looming Tower became the defining account of our century''s first devastating event, 9/11, so The Plague Year will become the defining account of the second. The story starts with the initial moments of Covid''s appearance in Wuhan and ends with Joseph Biden''s inauguration in an America ravaged by well over 400,000 deaths - a mortality already some ten times worse than US combat deaths in the entire Vietnam War.This is an anguished, furious memorial to a year in which all of America''s great strengths - its scientific knowledge, its great civic and intellectual institutions, its spirit of voluntarism and community - were brought low, not by a terrifying new illness alone, but by political incompetence and cynicism on a scale for which there has been no precedent.With insight, sympathy, clarity and rage, The Plague Year allows the reader to see the unfolding of this great tragedy, talking with individuals on the front line, bringing together many moving and surprising stories and painting a devastating picture of a country literally and fatally misled.

Frank Sinatra Has a Cold - Gay Talese - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A selection of witty and provocative essays from the father of New Journalism, Gay Talese''s Frank Sinatra Has a Cold and Other Essays is published in Penguin Modern Classics.Gay Talese is the father of American New Journalism, who transformed traditional reportage with his vivid scene-setting, sharp observation and rich storytelling. His 1966 piece for Esquire , one of the most celebrated magazine articles ever published, describes a morose Frank Sinatra silently nursing a glass of bourbon, struck down with a cold and unable to sing, like ''Picasso without paint, Ferrari without fuel - only worse''. The other writings in this selection include a description of a meeting between two legends, Fidel Castro and Muhammad Ali; a brilliantly witty dissection of the offices of Vogue magazine; an account of travelling to Ireland with hellraising actor Peter O''Toole; and a profile of fading baseball star Joe DiMaggio, which turns into a moving, immaculately-crafted meditation on celebrity. Gay Talese (b. 1932) is an American author. He wrote for The New York Times in the early 1960s and helped to define literary journalism or ''new nonfiction reportage'', also known as New Journalism. His most famous articles are about Joe DiMaggio, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. He lives in New York with his wife, Nan Talese.If you enjoyed Frank Sinatra has a Cold , you might like George Orwell''s Essays , also published in Penguin Modern Classics.''The best American prose of the second half of the twentieth century'' Atlantic Monthly ''The best non-fiction writer in America'' Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather ''A masterful New Journalism pioneer ... raises the magazine article to the level of an art form'' Los Angeles Times

English Romantic Verse - David Wright - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

English Romantic poetry from its beginnings and its flowering to the first signs of its decadence. Nearly all the famous piéces de résistance will be found here - ''Intimations of Immortality'' , ''The Ancient Mariner'' , ''The Tyger'' , excerpts from ''Don Juan'' - as well as some less familiar poems. As far as possible the poets are arranged in chronological order, and their poems in order of composition, beginning with eighteenth-century precursors such as Gray, Cowper, Burns and Chatterton. Naturally most space has been given over to the major Romantics - Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Clare and Keats - although their successors, poets such as Beddoes and Poe, are included too, as well as early poems by Tennyson and Browning. In an excellent introduction David Wright discusses the Romantics as a historical phenomenon, and points out their central ideals and themes.

Yet it becomes clear that Stark and the down-and-out share a connection. And that this could provide the key to unlocking the case. Soon, the young detective and his colleagues are drawn deeper into a dark, disturbing world as dangerous as anything Stark has known on the frontline. And where there''s enough at stake for a man to risk everything . . . If I Should Die is the first title in a new crime series, and outstanding characterization, pitch perfect dialogue and precision plotting mark out Matthew Frank as a debut writer to watch.

Transfigurations - Jay Wright - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

‘An astonishing New World epic…of human transfiguration and transformation, of nothing less than the great work of art that is “our life among ourselves.”’ Steven Meyer, Boston Review ‘The greatest living American poet’ Dante Micheaux For over half a century, Jay Wright’s poetry has been celebrated for its alertness to the multiplicity of human experience and identity. Wright’s inexorable lyric voice, whose gravitational pull has an ‘indelible music’, transforms life into myth, body into spirit, image into icon, and ritual into collective consciousness. Revelling in the rich interplay between Native American, African American, Latin American and West African cultural forms, Wright detangles the threads of these complex historical forces to present a tapestry of the Atlantic World and the people who move within it.Published for the first time in the UK, Transfigurations is a career-defining volume that includes all of Wright’s 20th century major poetry works - The Homecoming Singer (1971), Soothsayers and Omens (1976), Explications/Interpretations (1984), Dimensions of History (1976), The Double Invention of Komo (1980), Elaine''s Book (1988), Boleros (1991), Transformations (1997). Transfigurations is a singular opportunity for readers to fully immerse themselves in the sublime imagination of one of the most profound, generous and innovative American poets of all time.
