Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"1001 Arabian Nights" is a beloved collection of folk tales and other stories. It is often known in English as "Arabian Nights," from the first English language edition (1706), which named the title, "Arabian Nights Entertainments." Originally, there were 12 volumes published, totaling more than 2,000 pages.This full sized paperback edition has been restored for a modern audience, and contains the 3 most popular and well known sagas from Arabian Nights, including the complete "Seven Voyages of Sindbad," "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp," as well as "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves".Excerpt from The Fifth Voyage of SindbadReprinted by permission. All rights reservedScarcely had they finished their repast, when there appeared in the air, at a considerable distance, two great clouds. The captain of my ship, knowing by experience what they meant, said they were the male and female parents of the roc, and pressed us to re-embark with all speed, to prevent the misfortune which he saw would otherwise befall us.The two rocs approached with a frightful noise, which they redoubled when they saw the egg broken, and their young one gone. They flew back in the direction they had come, and disappeared for some time, while we made all the sail we could in the endeavor to prevent that which unhappily befell us.They soon returned, and we observed that each of them carried between its talons an enormous rock. When they came directly over my ship, they hovered, and one of them let go his rock; but by the dexterity of the steersman it missed us and fell into the sea. The other so exactly hit the middle of the ship as to split it into pieces. The mariners and passengers were all crushed to death or fell into the sea. I myself was of the number of the latter; but, as I came up again, I fortunately caught hold of a piece of the wreck, and swimming, sometimes with one hand and sometimes with the other, but always holding fast the plank, the wind and the tide favoring me, I came to an island, and got safely ashore.I sat down upon the grass, to recover myself from my fatigue, after which I went into the island to explore it. It seemed to be a delicious garden. I found trees everywhere, some of them bearing green and others ripe fruits, and streams of fresh pure water. I ate of the fruits, which I found excellent; and drank of the water, which was very light and good.

Playing 1.e4 - Sicilian Main Lines by John Shaw (twarda okładka)

Szachy > Debiuty

Wersja językowa książki - angielska. In this, the last of three volumes on 1.e4, GM John Shaw completes his state-of-the-art White repertoire by tackling the biggest challenge of all: the main lines of the Sicilian Defence. Just like the other two books in the series, this book is based upon a foundation of tried and tested main lines, boosted by a number of innovative suggestions that will cause no end of trouble to your opponents.Including the Dragon, Taimanov, Sveshnikov and concluding with the nefarious Najdorf, this book provides everything you need to face all the major Sicilian systems with confidence. John Shaw  is a grandmaster and three-time Scottish Champion.456 pages - Published 30 May 2018Paperback ISBN: 978-1-78483-072-4Hardcover ISBN: 978-1-78483-073-1Review of the author#8217;s previous work:#8220;A fantastic publication that is clearly the result of a tremendous amount of work by Shaw, for which he deserves immense credit.#8221; GM David Smerdon , ChessVibes, reviewing The King#8217;s GambitReviews"I recommend, for most ordinary players who lack extraordinary powers, to instead base their White repertoire around the John Shaw series. His lines are more likely to highlight manoeuvres and positional plans plus the inherent value of the pieces and structure. It helps us mere mortals when there is more margin for the occasional imprecision. As for the fact that the three volumes together add up to over 1400 pages, well I suppose that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing well! Shawly!?" GM Glenn Flear , New in Chess Yearbook"I am highly recommending this series - I had used so many of these lines and have gotten good positions in virtually all the time where I have tested the theory coverage from these books. Shaw's writing style is fun to read, with flecks of dry humour littered throughout the book... these books have attained 'must-have' status for all 1.e4 players." IM Kevin Goh  (full review)"Overall, this book offers a wealth of new, fresh ideas and a White repertoire against the Sicilian main variations which personally convinces me more than Parimarjan Negi's work on this complex... Those who are prepared to work through the book conscientiously will certainly achieve many good positions... I highly recommend this book!" IM Dirk Schuh

The Art of the Endgame: My Journeys in the Magical World of Endgame Studies

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

All through his career Jan Timman has been captivated by the mystery and splendour of endgame studies. Even during his most successful and busy years as a world class player, Timman continued to compose studies and admire those of others.  For him there has never been any doubt that the journeys in this magical world helped him to grow as a player. In this fascinating book, Timman has collected a wide range of the finest endgame studies by other composers and explains in his lucid style how they inspired him to create dozens of brand-new studies himself.  As Timman writes in the preface: #8216;Never before have I been so productive as an endgame study composer as in the seven months that I wrote this book. It was a sensational experience.#8217; The Art of the Endgame  is a treasure-trove for the lovers of beauty in chess. But it is also of great value for competitive players. Solving endgame studies is a vital part of improving one#8217;s endgame technique: it develops general understanding, calculation skills and resourcefulness. Jan Timman  is a former world championship candidate who rose to the number two spot of the FIDE world rankings. He is the author of several highly acclaimed bestsellers, such as 'Curacao 1962', 'On the Attack!', and 'Power Chess with Pieces'. GM Karsten Müller, author of 'Fundamental Chess Endings': "Really fascinating." Uwe Bekemann, German Correspondence Chess Federation: "A work that succeeds, which entertains and at at the same time makes you better at playing the endgame." Marco Campioli, Torre Cavallo: "Not only a rich manual for the 'studista', but also quite useful for players, with endings to analyze and remember." Steve Giddins, author of 'The Greates Ever Chess Endgames': "Not to be missed at any price (..) I was absolutely knocked out by the quality of the content." Harry Schaack, KARL Magazine: "Rarely have studies been presented so beautifully." Lubosh Kavalek, The Huffington Post: "Brilliant." Michael Adams, The Saturday Telegraph: "A true connoisseur (..) guides the reader through this intruiging facet of the game and shows his own stunning studies."  Harold van der Heijden, Schaaksite.nl: "Highly recommended, not only for lovers of endgame studies, but also for chess players who are interested in the beauty of chess. Timman has the talent to take the reader by the hand into an Alice in Wonderland adventure." Martin Rieger, Europa Rochade Magazine: "A work you will always return to in order to browse. And you will always discover something new." Tim Krabbé, author of 'Chess Curiosities': "[Timman] is one of the best makers in the world of perfect, breathtakingly beautiful small machines." Simen Agdestein, VG Newspaper (Norway): "Jan Timman was the hope of the West in my youth and I've always fancied his style. And I share his fascination for endgame studies as well, so this book struck me as interesting right away." Praise for Jan Timman: Harald Keilhack in Schach Magazine on 'Power Chess with Pieces': #8220;Where Garry Kasparov likes to hide behind thick trees with variations, Timman always makes sure that the reader fully understands why the game develops the way it does.#8221;   IM John Watson in TWIC on 'Curaçao 1962': #8220;Will be enjoyed by lovers of the game fo r years to come, and never grow old.#8221; British Chess Federation Book-of-the-Year Award Judges: #8220;One of the chess world#8217;s most perceptive writers.#8221;

And it proves to be so... The imaginative Marc Esserman actually has a real talent for writing." GM Glenn Flear , New in Chess"Rarely has one person had so much influence on reviving a variation long thought to be dead. Esserman has advocated the Smith-Morra for many years as a player and now he does so as a writer and theoretician...Mayhem in the Morra is useful not only for the many new ideas and theoretical novelties it offers but also for the strategic explanations. Easerman believes the Morra is not just about cheap tricks but has a deep positional underpinning. He does an excellent job of explaining the intricacies of this opening that goes well beyond just presenting the state of theory as he sees it." IM John Donaldson "While the Morra doesn't refute the Sicilian, as the cover of the book cheekily suggests, it will definitely make Black's life difficult; especially if he doesn't enjoy defending complicated and passive positions. I love everything about the present book: the passion, the enthusiasm, the original input, the writing, and the many entertaining games and variations. It is a true labor of love and I heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to sharpen their game against the Sicilian or perhaps just have a truly fascinating alternative to the mountain of theory in the conventional main lines of the Sicilian Defense." Carsten Hansen , ChessCafe (full review)"Mayhem in the Morra! is one of the best and funniest opening books I#8217;ve ever read, and there#8217;s hardly anything to criticize.

Arne Moll , Chess Vibes (full review)"The reason why we say 'Mayhem' is an impressive work is that it contains a strategic explanation of the Morra, not just an automaton's repetition of the variations. Esserman explains the opening in terms of domination of squares and pursuit of pieces, especially the king and queen, an approach that the computers strangely are unable to express...Because of his energetic style, we would call him a Balzac of chess writers and we grant him high marks." The Boston Globe  (full review)"IM Marc Esserman's brilliant Mayhem in the Morra arrived in the mail this weekend and has not been out of my hands very much since. Not only is it chock full of interesting ideas and original games in the Smith-Morra Gambit (1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3), but it is also a fun book to read! In fact, I find it hard to remember the last opening book that was as entertaining to read as Mayhem in the Morra, which has an inspired and amusing style -- overflowing with personal anecdotes, quotes from James Bond and Austin Powers films, and incitements to romantic violence at the chessboard." Michael Goeller  (full review)"The reputation of the Morra Gambit is like that of April weather, neither wholly bad nor really good. Esserman has set out to improve the reputation of the gambit, and he does so with diligence, enthusiasm, facts and a certain degree of Sense of Mission." Uwe Bekemann , www.bdf-fernschachbund.de

Miss Austen Cornerstone

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The Sunday Times bestseller, and set to be a major TV drama________________________'You can't help feeling that Jane would have approved.' OBSERVER'So good, so intelligent, so clever, so entertaining - I adored it.' CLAIRE TOMALIN________________________A wonderfully original, emotionally complex novel that delves into why Cassandra burned a treasure trove of letters written by her sister, Jane Austen - an act of destruction that has troubled academics for centuries. 1840: twenty three years after the death of her famous sister Jane, Cassandra Austen returns to the village of Kintbury, and the home of her family's friends, the Fowles. She knows that, in some dusty corner of the sprawling vicarage, there is a cache of family letters which hold secrets she is desperate should not be revealed.As Cassandra recalls her youth and her relationship with her brilliant yet complex sister, she pieces together buried truths about Jane's history, and her own. And she faces a stark choice: should she act to protect Jane's reputation? Or leave the contents of the letters to go unguarded into posterity ... Based on a literary mystery that has long puzzled biographers and academics, Miss Austen is a wonderfully original and emotionally complex novel about the loves and lives of Cassandra and Jane Austen.________________________'The perfect book to wrap yourself around on a dark night' STYLIST'Without romanticising its period setting or underplaying the precariousness of any woman's position in this society, it celebrates unexamined lives, sisterhood and virtues such as kindness and loyalty' SUNDAY TIMES'This is a deeply imagined and deeply moving novel. Reading it made me happy and weepy in equally copious amounts.' KAREN JOY FOWLER, author of The Jane Austen Bookclub'It won't surprise me if this is one of the books of the year. It's a delight, one of those that you don't want to end.' RTE'A charming novel...capturing the spirit of the brilliant sardonic Jane, and reminding the reader of how brutal life was for women in Austen's era, it's an ingenious and affecting embroidery on the fact of the author's life.' SUNDAY MIRROR'Miss Austen is ingenious ... With flashbacks and wonderful domestic detail, Hornby brings to life the Austen family, using the known to speculate on what might have been.' THE TIMES Audio Book of the Week'Extraordinary and heart-wrenching, Miss Austen transported me from page one. A gift to all Austen lovers.' LARA PRESCOTT, author of The Secrets We Kept'Gill Hornby ingeniously imagines what Cassandra Austen's own life might have been like, both before and after Jane's untimely death, casting a different light on the familiar biographical picture without in any way distorting it.' DEIRDRE LE FAYE, editor of Jane Austen's Letters'Tender and touching ...Hornby deftly describes the psychological toll that such uncertainly took on Jane, and movingly celebrates the fortitude of Cassandra whose greatest love was her sister' DAILY MAIL'Utterly absorbing. The lives of the Austen sisters are recreated with a brilliant sureness of touch that can only be achieved by deep study of the period.' ARTEMIS COOPER'Delightful... It reads just like an Austen novel so you get the double whammy of being a new book with an old feel' SUE RYAN, founder of Henley Lit Fest

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The story of God written in intimate love letters just for you. Dr. Larry Crabb knows that if we could see the larger story of God and humanity, our world would never be the same. That story is found in large part in the sixty-six letters of the Bible. Written in a conversational first person, as if God is speaking directly to us, Dr. Crabb looks at each individual book in scripture and offers a fresh, relational look at the book's message. He then unpacks each message in a short chapter answering the question, What does God want me to hear from this love letter? The book's epilogue then fits all sixty-six pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together into one coherent story, in sixty-six paragraphs, revealing the beautiful picture of what God has been about since the creation of the world. Far from being comprehensive, this is a personal approach to helping readers know God and His great love for them, His message for all mankind, and how their lives fit into His larger story.

The Art of the Tarrasch Defence: Strategies, Techniques and Surprising Ideas

Szachy > Książki New In Chess

The Tarrasch Defence is one of the most ambitious ways to play against 1.d4. Black immediately fights for the centre, gets a lot of space and develops his pieces without many problems. Great fighters like Boris Spassky, Paul Keres and Garry Kasparov have played the Tarrasch Defence.Former Russian Champion  Alexey Bezgodov  has more than 30 years of experience with the Tarrasch and is one of the world#8217;s greatest experts.  The Art of the Tarrasch Defence  is a deeply researched journey into the positional structures, the key moments in the fight for the initiative, the players and the variations. Bezgodov has injected his main line, the neglected Kasparov System, with a lot of surprising ideas and presents new ways to handle White#8217;s offbeat variations. He also shows that quite a few lines for Black with a bad reputation are actually good. He teaches how the giants of chess have exploited the many dynamic possibilities of the Tarrasch Defence, and he includes plenty of practical exercises. This is a must-have book for fearless players who wish to surprise their opponents and who like to play aggressively with Black -- but only with a reliable opening with a sound positional foundation. PRAISE FOR ALEXEY BEZGODOV Dennis Monokroussos, The Chess Mind, on  The Extreme Caro-Kann: "Aggressive players looking for something fresh and fighting against the Caro-Kann may find this book just what they wanted, while Caro-Kann aficionados may want this book for the purpose of self-defense."  Uwe Bekemann, German Correspondence Chess Federation, on  The Liberated Bishop#8217;s Defence: "Truly enriches the world of openings. The reader gets a well-constructed repertoire for Black, which is being presented in a way that is easy to understand."   Grandmaster  Alexey Bezgodov  (1969) was Russian Champion in 1993. He is the author of  The Extreme Caro-Kann ,  The Liberated Bishop#8217;s Defence  and  The Double Queens Gambit , three highly original chess opening books. Michael Mkpadi, ChessHot:   #8220;A goldmine of resource (..) I wholeheartedly recommend this book if you, like me, have struggled to find an opening which is solid, has rarely played lines and has a brilliantly written book to guide you.#8221; Elburg Chess Reviews:  "A high quality opening book with excellent explanations of strategies and techniques.#8221;  Schaakmagazine:   #8220;That the author has decided to write an original opening book is immediately clear in the first part where he shows that four Tarrasch systems with a poor reputation are not so bad after all.#8221; IM John Donaldson:   #8220;Well suited for all levels of player, but particularly those around 1800

The dark, forbidding alleys of our ruined cityscapes; the hopeless lives of brutalized whores, amoral hit-men, and vengeful victims of violence-these are the landscapes and characters that fill the stories, poems, and prose-poems of Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. in his first collection. And yet, there is a strange and intoxicating beauty to Pulver's creations, for they transport the reader out of the mundane and into the unearthly by the effortless stroke of a dazzling metaphor. Many of Pulver's stories are innovative riffs on the enigmatic mythology of The King in Yellow, pregnant with the demonic witchery of the original. With this collection, Pulver has placed himself in the forefront of contemporary fantasy and horror literature."The prose of Joe Pulver can take its place with that of the masters of our genre-Poe, Lovecraft, Campbell, Ligotti-while his imaginative reach is something uniquely his own." -From S. T. Joshi's Foreword"In this innovative, hypnotic collection, Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. has proven himself to be a perversely masterful sculptor of our dreams."-Jeffrey Thomas"Joe Pulver is a dark star is the merciless cosmos of weird fiction. His work is as brutal as it is beautiful." -Wilum Pugmire "In an earlier day I feel sure Joe Pulver would have been arrested for writing some of the stuff in this collection. Maybe he will be yet! How can he write, with such intricate delicacy, thunderous prose that fairly rips up the pages it is printed on? I wish I knew!"-Robert M. Price Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. is the acclaimed author of the Lovecraftian novel Nightmare's Disciple and author of20many short stories that have appeared in magazines and anthologies. He has received several Honorable Mentions in Datlow & Windling's The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror."Whatever your expectations may be, check them at the door. Pulver has a truly unique style for the horror genre, and this collection of short stories is a perfect vehicle for this sort of style . . . Pulver is an original." - Rick Kleffel's The Agony Column"While some may find scholar S.T. Joshi's claim in his introduction that Pulver "can take his place with that of the masters of our genre" (including Poe and Lovecraft) a trifle hyperbolic, all will agree that Pulver is a writer to watch. (Dec.)" - Publisher's Weekly "Some writers one admires and others make one want to do as they do, or try. For me, Joe Pulver is of the latter type. His imagination is so vile so much of the time that it makes me giggle with amazement. And the prose so deadly visionary. I'm grateful that the pieces in this collection are those of a fellow horror writer who has raised the ante on what it means to be such a creature." -- Thomas Ligotti
