House Of Leaves - Mark Z Danielewski - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

*Special hardback edition with foil cover* The first-ever UK hardback publication of the cult horror classic, featuring a special embossed ‘maze’ case design and full-colour text. Get ready to (re)discover the terrifying, thrilling, and mind-expanding immersive classic horror that redefines the boundaries of a novel . . . ''Phenomenal . . . thrillingly alive, sublimely creepy, distressingly scary, breathtakingly intelligent.'' Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho ''A genuinely scary chiller , a satire on the business of criticism and a meditation on the way we read.'' OBSERVER ''I''ve never read anything like it'' ***** Reader reviewA young couple - Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Will Navidson and his partner Karen Green - move into a small house on Ash Tree Lane. It soon becomes clear that something is terribly wrong - their new home is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside . . . Neither Will nor Karen are prepared to face the consequences of this impossibility until the day their two small children wander off, and their voices eerily begin to tell another story - of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams and create nightmares.What happened next is loosely recorded on videotapes and in interviews, and impelled an eccentric old man to compile - on loose sheets of paper, stained napkins, crammed notebooks - a definitive account of what took place at Ash Tree Lane that seems to unveil a thrilling and terrifying history.Because these scraps prove to be far more than the deranged ramblings of a reclusive old man . . . Immensely imaginative. Impossible to put down. Impossible to forget. House of Leaves is thrilling, terrifying and unlike anything you have read before. Praise for House of Leaves: ''Genuinely clever and learned, often funny, brilliantly constructed and surprisingly touching . . . a debut of scintillating intelligence and scope.'' Mail on Sunday ‘An astonishing book . . . buy it, read it, be scared. – SFX ‘Intricate, erudite and deeply frightening. ’ – Wall Street Journal ‘A fascinatingly insane triumph .’ – Independent on Sunday ‘Demonically brilliant’ - Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn ''Strange, highly addictive and slowly creepy'' ***** Reader review‘Genuinely chilling … I can''t recommend this book highly enough.’ ***** Reader review''The creativity and originality is astonishing'' ***** Reader review

A Pirate Of Exquisite Mind - Diana Preston - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Pirate Of Exquisite Mind - Diana Preston - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

William Dampier, (1651-1715), was an English adventurer and pirate who preyed on ships on the Spanish Main. Poor and ill-educated and determined to make his fortune, he nonetheless had a passion for exploration and scientific research. Dampier was the first to map the winds and currents of the world''s oceans; led the first recorded party of Englishmen to set foot on Australia - 80 years before Cook; wrote about Galapagos wildlife 150 years before Darwin, who drew on Dampier''s notes in his own work; was the first travel writer: A NEW VOYAGE AROUND THE WORLD was instant bestseller when it was published in 1697 - said to have influenced the novels of Swift and Defoe. A man full of contradictions: he who achieved so much ''blew it'' later in life, declining into scandal, failure and even farce. A unique man ahead of his time, he lived a large part of his life among pirates yet managed to preserve what Coleridge called his "exquisite refinement of mind". A classic example of the best narrative history.

Manx Murders - Keith Wilkinson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Manx Murders - Keith Wilkinson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A beautiful island lying in the northern part of the Irish Sea between England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, the Isle of Man was once a popular holiday destination. It is perhaps better known today for the TT motorcycle races held there, its tailless cats and Manx kippers. However, it also has its darker side. Manx Murders is a collection of gripping and mysterious murder cases committed on the Island over the last 150 years, from the brutal slaying of a spinster one dark night on a lonely track near Ramsey to the infamous ''Golden Egg Murder'' in central Douglas.The cases that have caused shock and sensation throughout two centuries of the Island''s history are recorded here as the author reveals the events behind the last hanging on the Island, a deathbead confession, the harrowing story of a murderous father and the cases that remain unsolved to this day. The Island''s political importance as a wartime holding area for prisoners of war is also explored through the account of a bizarre, seemingly motiveless killing in 1916 and the stabbing of a Finnish prisoner during the Second World War.Using information obtained from newspapers, inquest records and trial transcripts whenever these were available, each murder is described against the backdrop of contemporary events to give the reader a distinct flavour of life at the time of the crime. While each case is unique, all share an overwhelming sadness and tragedy that will never be forgotten.

Great British Cycling - Ellis Bacon - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In 1868, the first ever documented bicycle race was held in a Paris park, and to the locals'' chagrin, was won by a Briton. Yet while cycling culture became ingrained in continental European culture, riders this side of the Channel were engaged in constant battles with the authorities to pursue their sport - road racing was in fact banned as early as 1890. Its rise in popularity over the past 150 years, and the many triumphs of British cyclists in that time, have therefore been phenomenal.Never before has the full story of the sport been documented in one book, and in Great British Cycling , Ellis Bacon guides you through the development of our bike racing world, from weekend outings to British riders being able to compete in, then finish and win stages of the Tour de France. It takes you from cycling clubs and iconic frame-builders to a post-war explosion in cycling participation inspired by the likes of Brian Robinson, Tommy Simpson, Barry Hoban and Beryl Burton, from huge crowds witnessing the Tour of Britain and other races up and down the land to the modern era of glorious success by the likes of Mark Cavendish, Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome.As the Tour de France returns to these shores for the fourth time, with Great Britain now firmly established at the top of the world of cycling, this is the ideal time for fans of the sport, both new and old, to explore its wonderful history.

Sweets: A History Of Temptation - Tim Richardson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Sweets: A History Of Temptation - Tim Richardson - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone loves sweets. However keen we might be on fine cheese, vintage wine or acorn-fed Iberian ham, much of the time we''d be happier with a Curly-Wurly. But why do we like sweets so much? Why is there such an enormous variety of types, a whole uncharted gastronomy in itself? And where do they all come from?Many of the sweets we recognize today have a lineage going back hundreds of years. Sugar was first transported around the world with the exotic herbs and spices used by medieval apothecaries. By association, the confectioner''s art was at first medical in nature and many sweets (such as aniseed balls, which were a medieval cure for indigestion) were originally consumed for reasons of health.Other sweets came in-to being in the worlds of ritual and magic. Chocolate, for example, was mixed with chilli and used as a libation by the Aztecs. It subsequently appeared in other rather more palatable drinks around the world, but not in the solid form we now recognize until about 150 years ago. But the special significance of a gift of chocolate remains . . .Whatever their manifold origins, sweets are still a feature of every human society around the world. Tim Richardson''s book tells the extraordinary story of comfits and dragées, lozenges and pastilles, sherbets and subtleties. Like a box of chocolates, it''s something you can just dip into - or scoff all at once.
