"Buck Snort" Toni and "Wind Horse", Mountain Men
In 1806, the return to St. Louis of Lewis and Clark from their epic journey across the unexplored American West with their tales of untold abundance of valuable furbearers, especially beaver, excited the populace! Men like General Ashley and Major Henry responded to such tales of valuable furbearers in abundance by forming a fur company, employing 100 adventurous young men as company trappers, and keelboating up the Missouri River to the Yellowstone to establish a fort and trading post. There they initiated trade with the Indians, the principal harvesters of animal furs in America, and sent their own company trappers out to harvest valuable furbearers, especially beaver.¿Thus begins Vince "Buck Snort" Toni and his Indian "Brother", Wind Horse’s lives, first as orphans at a ‘hellhole’ orphanage, which by fate, exploded them into a life as fur trappers in the beautiful but dangerous largely unexplored American West! In the adventurous years that followed, Buck Snort Toni and Wind Horse trapped beaver and wolves along the Bighorn River facing freezing waters, violent "Ball Lightning" thunderstorms, buffalo stampedes, a deadly Frontier web of revenge, "Winter Bears", vicious Northern Arapaho ‘Sons of the Prairies’, renegade Hudson Bay fur trappers, dangerous ‘pasts’ from their earlier days in the orphanage, killed horse thieves, and joined the brotherhood of adventurous fur trappers known today as "Mountain Men". Then when Fate forced them from the field, they discovered a ‘circle of life’ surrounded by a Frontier Grace…¿"Buck Snort" Toni and "Wind Horse", Mountain Men is an epic story of two intertwined lives, formed by destiny, forged in the fires of the American West and ultimately framed in "Frontier Grace".
"Four Scalps" Ofer Tal, Mountain Man
Terry Grosz returns to the unexplored American West in the ninth of his series of Mountain Man novels, "Four Scalps" Ofer Tal, Mountain Man.In 1806, the return to St. Louis of Lewis and Clark from their epic journey across the unexplored American West with their tales of untold abundance of valuable furbearers excited the populace. Manuel Lisa, St. Louis businessman and trader with local Indian tribes, responded to such tales by forming an expedition that boated up the Missouri and down the Yellowstone to the mouth of the Bighorn River to establish a fort and trading post. There he initiated trade with the Indians, the principal harvesters of animal furs in America, and sent out his company trappers.Thus begins Ofer's adventures when his father Yossef released Ofer and his four brothers from their lives as ranchers, to go forth into the American West as fur trappers to satisfy their desires for adventure as foretold by Lewis and Clark. Shortly thereafter, Ofer and his brothers ventured upstream on the Missouri and down the Yellowstone with Lisa, helped construct his fort and then with a mentor named Jan "Bear Trap" Driessen, continued their journey as fur trappers. In the years following, Ofer and his brothers trapped beaver in the lands of the white man-hating Blackfeet and Gros Ventre Indians, battled Indians agitated by competing British fur interests, fought grizzly bears, endured extremes of weather, killed horse thieves and joined the brotherhood of adventurous explorers and fur trappers known today as "Mountain Men"."Four Scalps" Ofer Tal, Mountain Man, is an epic story of a 'wilderness man' whose love for the unexplored American West burrowed into his soul and rested there forever, as did he…Terry Grosz began his 32-year career in wildlife law enforcement in 1966 as a Fish and Game Warden with the California Department of Fish and Game, and later as a Special Agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protecting 'those' in the world of wildlife 'who have little or no voice'… In 1998 he retired from the Service and began a second career as a writer.

"I Say No"
Wilkie Collins is an amazing author and a favourite of mine, with a knack for spinning the happiest possible endings from his dark and integrating murder plots. This book will have you suspecting everything but the truth and smiling by the end. It is well written true to form and as usual for Mr Collins has some kind and loveable servants to round out the the sad stories. (Rebecca Williams)
"Sie sind noch weit entfernt vom Verständnis für die Behörde"
Zu den gleichermaßen verhängnisvollsten wie für die Regelung des menschlichen Zusammenlebens unverzichtbaren institutionellen Instrumentarien unserer Zeit gehört Bürokratie. Die Herrschaft des Büros hat sich endgültig etabliert. Von Beginn an einerseits verteufelt wegen tatsächlicher oder unterstellter Ineffektivität aufgrund von Schwerfälligkeit, Formalismus, Übergriffigkeit, Überregulierung und dergleichen mehr, ist mit der Herausbildung moderner Staaten und ihren Massengesellschaften deren Steuerung ohne stetige und verlässliche Verwaltung andererseits undenkbar geworden. Der damit unentrinnbaren "Bürokratisierung der Welt" (Henry Jacoby) und unseres gesamten Alltags sind die individuellen Belange des Einzelnen weitgehend zum Opfer gefallen. Dieses unauflösbare Dilemma spitzte sich um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert zu, agierten die anonymen Verwaltungsapparate doch nun zunehmend nach fest vorgegebenen Bestimmungen sowie, im Prinzip, ohne Ansehen der Person und in kühler Sachlichkeit. Das alles rief die Literatur auf den Plan. Mit ihrer hohen Sensibilität gegenüber gesellschaftlichen Fehlentwicklungen hin zur Unfreiheit schrieb sie jetzt besonders engagiert und vehement gegen staatlich-bürokratische Bevormundung an. Kafkas Landvermesser, der nicht einmal in die Nähe der Schlossbehörde gelangt, um von ihr Anerkennung zu finden, ist da nur das berühmteste, aber bei weitem nicht das einzige dramatische Beispiel für den Kampf zahlloser literarischer Antihelden mit Behörden und ihren Beamten, deren Richtlinien dem Bittsteller nur zu oft schleierhaft bleiben. Nicht zu vergessen die Staatsdiener, die ihren Dienst vollkommen verinnerlicht und ganz zu leben vergessen haben. Dieser von Axel Dornemann zusammengestellte Reader bietet erstmals eine repräsentative Auswahl spannender bureaucratic encounters, in denen es fast immer um Leben und Tod geht. 34 Beiträge von 30 internationalen Autoren - Auszüge aus Romanen, abgeschlossene Erzählungen und Essays - umspannen die letzten vier Jahrhunderte und führen bis in die unmittelbare Gegenwart. Zu den Autoren gehören u.a. Honoré de Balzac, Konrad Bayer, Charles Dickens, Ernst-Jürgen Dreyer, Franz Kafka, Heinrich von Kleist, Günter Kunert, Warlam Schalamow, Lew Tolstoj, B. Traven, Anton Tschechow, David Foster Wallace, Max Weber.Das Lesebuch soll nicht nur Belletristikfreunden ein bislang unbeachtetes Kapitel in der Geschichte der Sozialrebellion der Literatur näherbringen, sondern auch die Sozialwissenschaften auf die ,schöne' Literatur als Forschungsressource aufmerksam machen.
"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and "The £1,000,000 Bank Note"
This volume collects two of Mark Twain's most famous and popular stories: "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and "The £1,000,000 Bank Note."
"The Stereoscope" and Other Mystical Tales from St. Petersburg
The tales in this annotated collection share three common characteristics. They were written in the early twentieth century, during the so-called Silver Age, a period of artistic renaissance in Russia and an important part of the larger European Belle Époque. Their action takes place in St. Petersburg, one of the most beautiful cities in the world and a splendid imperial capital, which, in addition to being the cradle of modern Russian culture, became its major subject and theme. And finally, all of them belong to the mystical or fantastic genres. The centerpiece of the collection-Alexander Ivanov's "Stereoscope" (1909), a forgotten gem of fantastic literature and a pioneering museum adventure tale, is also an early example of fiction about photography. None of these stories have been published in English before.

'Rikki-Tikki-Tavi'
"Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" is a short story in the 1894 anthology The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling about adventures of a valiant young Indian grey mongoose. It has often been anthologised, and has been published several times as a short book. The Book 5 of Panchatantra, an ancient Indian collection, includes the mongoose and snake story, an inspiration for the "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" story. The story follows the experiences of a mongoose named Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (from his chattering vocalizations) after he becomes the pet of an English family residing in India. He becomes friendly with some of the other creatures inhabiting the garden and is warned of the cobras Nag and Nagaina, who are angered by the human family's presence on their territory.Accordingly, Nag enters the house's bathroom before dawn to kill the humans and make Rikki leave, so that their babies will grow up in a safe place. Rikki attacks Nag from behind in the bathroom. The ensuing struggle awakens the family, and the father kills Nag with a shotgun blast while Rikki bites down on the hood of the struggling male cobra.The grieving female snake Nagaina attempts revenge against the humans, cornering them as they have breakfast on an outdoor veranda. She is distracted by a female vulture, while Rikki destroys the cobra's unhatched brood of eggs, except for one. He carries it to where Nagaina is threatening to bite little Teddy, while his parents watch helplessly.Nagaina recovers her egg but is pursued by Rikki away from the house to the cobra's underground nest, where an unseen final battle takes place. Rikki emerges triumphant from the hole, declaring Nagaina dead. With the immediate threat defeated, Rikki dedicates his life to guarding the garden, resulting in no snake even daring to enter it. (The text does not say whether or not Rikki has destroyed the last egg.) Director Alexandra Snezhko-Blotskaya shot an animated short film of the story titled ¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿ (Rikki-Tikki-Tavi) in 1965 in the Soviet Union, at the film studio Soyuzmultfilm. Ten years later, Chuck Jones adapted it for a half-hour television special in the United States. Aleksandr Zguridi and Nana Kldiashvili directed a live-action feature film entitled Rikki-Tikki-Tavi four years later.In the anime television series, Jungle Book Sh¿nen Mowgli, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a supporting character who is the pet of an Indian family and is a heroic defender of them.In the CGI series The Jungle Book (TV series), Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is an occasional character who is a friend of Mowgli.

'The Yellow Wallpaper'; with 'Woman', Gilman's acclaimed feminist poetry (Aziloth Books)
'The Yellow Wallpaper' is a semi-autobiographical short story drawing on Charlotte Gilman's personal experience of mental collapse, exacerbated by the paternalistic attitudes current in her day, a tale which doubles as the perfect vehicle for protesting the unequal status of women in marriage. In 1886, after the birth of her daughter, Gilman was struck with severe post-natal depression. Medical opinion at the time ascribed this condition to too much mental activity for the female mind, and she was prescribed a "rest cure". For an intellectual like Gilman, such forced inactivity was a disaster, and a full nervous breakdown ensued. In 'The Yellow Wallpaper' a young woman tells of a similar enforced idleness, and we watch with horrified fascination her slow descent into madness. Suffering from depression, she is forced to 'rest' in a barred room, where her agitated mind becomes obsessed by the room's yellow wallpaper, upon whose chaotic swirls she seeks to impose order and pattern. Gradually, the image of a stooping, creeping woman appears - held captive by the 'bars' of the main pattern - a potent symbol for the stultifying effects of both her personal life and society at large. Eventually, deeply unstable, she sees trapped, creeping women everywhere, and knows herself to be quite as confined as any within the yellow wallpaper. Although known now for her prose, Charlotte Gilman first rose to prominence through the excellence of her verse. 'Woman' - the central section of Gilman's highly acclaimed 'In this World' - comprises twenty-nine poems that expand upon the theme of female emancipation and cover a wide range of topics - from female suffrage through marriage and motherhood, to male vanity and willing female submission. Widely regarded in its day, 'Woman' has continued to be a source of inspiration for many modern-day feminists.
