Cronin Archibald Joseph The Citadel
The Citadel is a moving story of tragedy, triumph and redemption. With a foreword by Adam Kay, the bestselling author of This is Going to Hurt, Twas the Nighshift Before Christmas, Kay's Anatomy and Kay's Marvellous Medicine When newly qualified doctor Andrew Manson takes up his first post in a Welsh mining community, the young Scot brings with him a bagful of idealism and enthusiasm. Both are soon strained to the limit as Andrew discovers the reality of performing operations on a kitchen table and washing in a scullery, of unspeakable sanitation, of common infantile cholera and systemic corruption. There are no X-rays, no ambulances - nothing to combat the disease and poverty. It isn't long before Andrew's outspoken manner wins him both friends and enemies, but he risks losing his idealism when the fashionable, greedy world of London medicine claims him, with its private clinics, wealthy, spoilt patients and huge rewards.

Le Fanu Joseph Sheridan In A Glass Darkly
Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814-1873) was one of the great masters of Victorian of mystery and horror fiction, and can be regarded as the father of the modern ghost story. In a Glass Darkly (1872), one of his most celebrated volumes, purports to be the casebook of Dr Hesselius, a pioneer psychologist. These five tales represent some of Le Fanu's most accomplished work, which rises above the staid conventions of the age. Although drawing on Gothic conventions - the book features both ghosts and vampires - Le Fanu redefined the parameters of supernatural fiction. He had little interest in the crude depiction of other worldly phenomena in order to provide the reader with a pleasurable frisson of fear. Le Fanu concern rather lay in the examination of the results of supernatural experience on the psyche of his protagonist, in this he paved the way for the work of Henry James and M. R. James. This volume is an indispensable cornerstone of modern horror and remains one of the finest collections of unsettling fiction in the language.

The Life of an Architect… and what he leaves behind
This title is about the life of architect Archibald and his daily struggle with his office colleagues, employees, clients, contractors, civil servants, consultants, architecture critics, and other people involved in the building industry. Archibald runs an architecture office with his partner and engineer, Gerald. While Archibald is a visionary and a romantic dreamer with a tendency to idealistic and egocentric behavior, Gerald is the rational one who keeps his feet on the ground. An exploited intern named Ralph; a narrowminded IT-specialist named John, and a weird Asian cardboard model builder named Mr. Shan also work in their office. Archibald is married to Charlotte, a successful lawyer who quit her job to help Archibald clean up his administrative mess. They have two children: Archie, his six-year-old son who wants to be the best architect in the world and Charly, a smart-mouthed ten-year-old daughter with a strong dislike for everything regarding art.

Cosimano Elle Finlay Donovan Is Killing It
'It is a widely known fact that most mums are ready to kill someone by eight-thirty AM on any given Monday. . . ' Finlay Donovan, single mum and floundering crime writer, is having a hard time. Her ex-husband went behind her back to fire the nanny, and this morning she sent her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an unfortunate incident with scissors. Making it to lunch with her literary agent is a minor victory but, as she's discussing the plot of her latest crime novel, the conversation is misinterpreted by a woman sitting nearby as that of a hit-woman offering her services to dispose of a 'problem' husband. And when the woman slips Finlay a name and a promise of a large sum of cash, Finlay finds herself plotting something much bigger than her novel. And, after all, they do always say: write what you know. . . Finlay Donovan really is killing it . . .

Нож фиксированный Terra Incognita Finlay
Terra Incognita Finlay ведет свою родословную от ножа, известного как Nessmuk, авторства легендарного североамериканского путешественника Джорджа Сирса. Широкий клинок с понижением линии обуха имеет длинное и протяженное лезвие. Проникающая способность острия средняя – в этом ноже упор сделан на режущие свойства. Если обратить внимание на рукоять, то можно увидеть, что вместо ограничителя, препятствующего соскальзыванию ладони на режущую кромку, у этого ножа глубокий подпальцевый радиус. Это необходимо для четкого и уверенно контролируемого реза. Изготовлен клинок из дамасской стали. Дамаск Finlay отличается высокой твердостью вкупе с хорошей ударной вязкостью, а значит, он отлично держит режущую кромку и при этом эффективно противостоит нагрузкам. Между тем стоит понимать, что этот дамаск не обладает нержавеющими свойствами, а значит, клинок Finlay требователен к уходу. Накладки рукояти из древесины палисандра закреплены латунными заклепками. Древесина палисандра по твердости превосходит дуб в полтора-два раза. Хорошо полируется. Из палисандра получаются красивые, твердые и износостойкие рукояти, с эффектом «теплоты» и приятными тактильными ощущениями. Как и каждая древесина, палисандр боится влаги, огня и уязвим перед грибком. В рисунке на рукояти использованы индейские мотивы, напоминающие об истории этого неординарного ножа. Ножны Terra Incognita Finlay сшиты из натуральной кожи. Terra Incognita Finlay – нож, способный украсить любую коллекцию, и в тоже время стать верным спутником в любом походе. Толщина обуха (мм): 3,0 Длина клинка (мм): 107 Общая длина (мм): 214 Вес (г): 128. Не является холодным оружием. Сертификат действует на территории РФ.
