'One of the most remarkable artists of our age' - Mario Vargas Llosa. "The Book of Sand" was the last of Borges' major collections to be published. The stories are, in his words, 'variations on favourite themes...combining a plain and at times almost colloquial style with a fantastic plot'. It includes such marvellous tales as "The Congress", "Undr" and "The Mirror and the Mask". Also included are the handful of stories written right at the end of Borges' life - "August 25, 1983", "Blue Tigers", "The Rose of Paracelsus" and "Shakespeare's Memory".
Als The Very Hungry Caterpillar ist die kleine Raupe 1969 in Amerika aus ihrem Ei geschlüpft. Sie war da noch ganz klein, aber schon wenig später tauchte sie auch diesseits des großen Teichs auf, unter dem Namen Die Kleine Raupe Nimmersatt, und wurde größer und größer. Sie war auf Englisch genauso hübsch und gefräßig wie auf Deutsch, und sie ist bis heute genauso zweisprachig wie ihr Schöpfer Eric Carle. §Deshalb ist die kleine Raupe ein völkerverbindendes Tier und geradezu dafür gemacht, Kindern die ersten einfachen und kindgerechten englischen Sätze beizubringen, im Kindergarten wie in den ersten Schulklassen. §Kinder, die mit der kleinen Raupe auf Deutsch die Wochentage und die Zahlen und die Namen von vielerlei Essbarem gelernt haben, lernen sie nun auch auf Englisch: On Monday, he ate through one apple. But he was still very hungry. On Tuesday he ate through two pears ...
Philip II is not only the most famous king in Spanish history, but one of the most famous monarchs in English history: the man who married Mary Tudor and later launched the Spanish Armada against her sister Elizabeth I. This compelling biography of the most powerful European monarch of his day begins with his conception (1526) and ends with his ascent to Paradise (1603), two occurrences surprisingly well documented by contemporaries. Eminent historian Geoffrey Parker draws on four decades of research on Philip as well as a recent, extraordinary archival discovery--a trove of 3,000 documents in the vaults of the Hispanic Society of America in New York City, unread since crossing Philip's own desk more than four centuries ago. Many of them change significantly what we know about the king. The book examines Philip's long apprenticeship; his three principal interests (work, play, and religion); and the major political, military, and personal challenges he faced during his long reign. Parker offers fresh insights into the causes of Philip's leadership failures: was his empire simply too big to manage, or would a monarch with different talents and temperament have fared better?
