To the world Maurice Tarn is merely the magnate behind a successful shipping company, little does anyone know that all the real money is made off the books in shady backroom deals. In a drunken stupor Tarn accidentally reveals the truth of his firm to his young secretary: the drug running, document forging and smuggling to name a few. Soon this begins a cataclysmic series of events that will suck in everyone in its vicinity. Wallace has once again crafted a plot with a vibrant cast, stunning plot design and innumerable twists that will leave readers stunned. For anyone that loved Mark Wahlberg’s ‘Contraband’ this novel is for you. Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, poet and journalist. He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.

This beautiful and important book highlights the collection of European drawings at the Yale University Art Gallery, one of America's premier university museums. From intimate studies to exquisite finished compositions, this selection of works documents the history of European drawing practices beginning with late-medieval model books and progressing to the verge of the modern period. The accompanying text--written by a team of scholars--offers a unique introduction to various critical and technical aspects of the study of master drawings, brought to life through drawings from a range of national schools and in a variety of media. Among the drawings examined in this handsomely produced volume are an animated pen and ink sketch by Giulio Romano, a pastoral landscape by Claude Lorrain, a forceful and humorous caricature by Guercino, a scene from the epic poem Orlando Furioso by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and a delicate portrait by Edgar Degas.

In diesem Band sind seine bekanntesten Kurzgeschichten versammelt. Sie handeln von Menschen und ihren merkwürdigen Schicksalen. Sie erleben fast unmögliche Dinge. Mal scheinen sie selbst dafür verantwortlich zu sein. Mal erleben sie nahezu gespenstische Dinge. Mörder erzählen ihre eigene Geschichte. Detektive decken eine scheinbar unmögliche Begebenheit auf … und sogar Seemannsgarn kann bei Edgar Allan Poe wie Horror klingen. Bekannt wurde auch die Vertonung einiger “Erzählungen voller Geheimnisse und Fantasie” (“Tales of Mystery and Imagination”) vom Musiker Alan Parsons in den Siebziger Jahren. Poe gilt als einer der Väter des “Mystery Thrillers". Edgar Allan Poe wurde 1809 in Boston geboren. Er ging in England zur Schule und lernte viele europäische Sprachen. In Amerika schrieb Poe viel für Zeitungen. Er veröffentlichte Gedichte und Kurzgeschichten. Berühmt wurde er mit dem Gedicht „Der Rabe“. Er war beeinflusst von romantischen Dichtern wie Lord Byron und E.T.A. Hoffmann und von Charles Dickens. Viele seiner Erlebnisse, wie der Tod seiner Frauen und viele Auseinandersetzungen mit seinen Mitmenschen, tauchen in seinen Geschichten auf. Der zeitweilige Alkoholiker und Spieler E.A. Poe starb 1849 im Alter von 40 Jahren unter mysteriösen Umständen.
A timely and trenchant commentary on the centrality of Nietzsche’s thought for our time While many posthumanists claim Nietzsche as one of their own, rarely do they engage his philosophy in any real depth. Nietzsche’s Posthumanism addresses this need by exploring the continuities and disagreements between Nietzsche’s philosophy and contemporary posthumanism. Focusing specifically on Nietzsche’s reception of the life sciences of his day and his reflections on technology—research areas as central to Nietzsche’s work as they are to posthumanism—Edgar Landgraf provides fresh readings of Nietzsche and a critique of post- and transhumanist philosophies. Through Landgraf’s inquiry, lesser-known aspects of Nietzsche’s writings emerge, including the neurophysiological basis of his epistemology (which anticipates contemporary debates on embodiment), his concerns with insects and the emergent social properties they exhibit, and his reflections on the hominization and cultivation effects of technology. In the process, Landgraf challenges major commonplaces about Nietzsche’s philosophy, including the idea that his social theory asserts the rights of “the strong” over “the weak.” The ethos of critical posthumanism also offers a new perspective on key ethical and political contentions of Nietzsche’s writings. Nietzsche’s Posthumanism presents a uniquely framed introduction to tenets of Nietzsche’s thought and major trends in posthumanism, making it an essential exploration for anyone invested in Nietzsche and his contemporary relevance, and in posthumanism and its genealogy.
