Bishop Peter´s Pilgrimage- his diary and sketchbook

Spisovatel: Peter Nott, Canterbury Press 1997
Katalogové číslo: I7938

To spend twenty whole weeks in a single year visiting parishes, in addition to his other duties, has been an extraordinary achievement, and i know of no other bishop in living memory who has attempted such an enterprise... Bishop Peter´s Pilgrimage Diary is a wonderful and very readable story- full of humour, compassion and faith. It is a book which i believe will be a great encouragement to all who read it... 255 strán, brožovaná, väčší formát

The Guns of the South

Spisovatel: Turtledove Harry, BCA 1992
Katalogové číslo: G7636

The Confederates win the Civil War with aid from South African time travelers in this unconvincing "what-if" tale. Using a time machine, Andrew Rhoodie and his cadre of white supremacists from A.D. 2014 join the rebels and supply them with AK-47 assault rifles. Rhoodie's "America Will Break" brotherhood hopes to foster a haven for slavery and extreme racism that will last into succeeding centuries. Thus armed, Gen. Robert E. Lee's troops are soon victorious, and Lincoln agrees to divide the nation. Lee wins political office in the South, and, ironically, becomes both a proponent of emancipation and a foe of the bigoted visitors from the future. Turtledove ( Krispos Rising ) might win over some Civil War buffs through his knowledge of historical figures and events. But stilted dialogue, slack pacing and thin characters diminish the book's appeal.... v angličtine,obal,tvrdá väzba,560 strán
