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

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Days traces the epic story of the next four months, which included some of the bloodiest battles of the war.Using unpublished archive material from five countries, this new account reveals how the Allies - British, French, American and Commonwealth - managed to beat the German Army,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 Plague Year - Lawrence Wright - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

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. ''Maddening and sobering - as comprehensive an account of the first year of the pandemic as we''ve yet seen'' Kirkus

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

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

''The First World War from a refreshingly unfamiliar angle . . . masterly'' Dominic Sandbrook , Sunday Times ''Compelling . . . The Eastern Front is essential reading'' Margaret Macmillan, Financial Times ‘A masterwork . . . This is the history of the Eastern Front I’ve waited all my life to read’ Simon Sebag Montefiore The definitive history of the Eastern Front in the First World War, from the acclaimed military historian and author of Passchendaele and The Western Front ***********In the second volume of his landmark First World War trilogy, Professor Nick Lloyd tells the story for the first time of what Winston Churchill once called the ''unknown war'': the vast conflict in Eastern Europe and the Balkans that brought about the collapse of three empires.Much has been written about the fighting in France and Belgium, yet the Eastern Front was no less bloody. Between 1914 and 1917, huge numbers of people - perhaps as many as 16 million soldiers and two million civilians - were killed, wounded or maimed in enormous battles that sometimes ranged across a front of 100 km in length.Through intimate eyewitness reports, diary entries and memoirs - many of which have never been translated into English before - Lloyd reconstructs the full story of a war that began in the Balkans as a local struggle between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, and which sucked in Russia, Germany and Italy, right through to the final collapse of the Habsburg Empire in 1918. The Eastern Front paints a vivid and authoritative picture of a conflict that shook the world, and that remains central to understanding the tragic, blood-soaked trajectory of the twentieth century, and the current war in Ukraine.

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

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.
