nidottu
From the Fjords to the Nile brings together essays by students and colleagues of Richard Holton Pierce (b. 1935), presented on the occasion of his 80th birthday. It covers topics on the ancient world and the Near East. Pierce is Professor Emeritus of Egyptology at the University of Bergen. Starting out as an expert in Egyptian languages, and of law in Greco-Roman Egypt, his professional interest has spanned from ancient Nubia and Coptic Egypt, to digital humanities and game theory. His contributions as scholar, teacher, supervisor and informal advisor to Norwegian studies in Egyptology, classics, archaeology, history, religion, and linguistics through more than five decades can hardly be overstated.

The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, Mildred Pierce, and Selected Stories: Introduction by Robert Polito

The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, Mildred Pierce, and Selected Stories: Introduction by Robert Polito

James M. Cain

These three classics from the master of the noir novel, along with five otherwise unavailable short stories, are electric with the taut narrative voice, the suspense, and the explosive violence and eroticism that were James M. Cain's indelible hallmarks. The Postman Always Rings Twice, Cain's first novel-the subject of an obscenity trial in Boston, the inspiration for Camus's The Stranger-is the fever-pitched tale of a drifter who stumbles into a job, into an erotic obsession, and into a murder. Double Indemnity-which followed Postman so quickly, Cain's readers hardly had a chance to catch their breath-is a tersely narrated story of blind passion, duplicity, and, of course, murder. Mildred Pierce, a work of acute psychological observation and devastating emotional violence, is the tale of a woman with a taste for shiftless men and an unreasoned devotion to her monstrous daughter. All three novels were immortalized in classic Hollywood films. Also included here are five masterful stories-"Pastorale," "The Baby in the Icebox," "Dead Man," "Brush Fire," "The Girl in the Storm"-that have been out of print for decades.

A Charming Young Desperado, an Angry Soiled Dove, a Treacherous but Reform-minded Governor, a Feisty Antediluvian, a Filthy Career Criminal, and a spate of Disreputable Lawyers are just some of the colorful characters who jump from these pages that recount Santa Fe's fascinating frontier history. Billy the Kid's three-month stay in New Mexico Territory's capital city adobe jail during the winter of 1881-1882 provides a framework for exploring life-especially lawless life-at The End of the Santa Fe Trail in this second standalone volume in Lynn Michelsohn's non-fiction trilogy, "Billy the Kid in Santa Fe." *** Please note: The volumes of this trilogy may be read in any order. *** Billy spent part of his carefree youth learning Spanish while playing with companions in Santa Fe's ancient streets and singing for tips around its bustling Plaza. Now, seven years later, the legendary young man sits alone, chained and abandoned, in Santa Fe's grim lock-up. Jailmates like "Dirty Dave," "Bull Shit Jack," and "Slap Jack Bill" offer interesting diversions but little solace. Hiring a lawyer seems impossible. Governor Lew Wallace, who once promised Billy a pardon, won't even respond to his increasingly desperate letters. Is a quick murder trial, followed by a long drop and a short rope, the boyish outlaw's only escape?-Follow Billy's diverse bids for freedom throughout his long cold months in the adobe calaboose on Santa Fe's Rio Chiquito. -Discover, with Billy, the changes to this ancient city since he left it a bright-eyed youngster, his whole life ahead of him. -Follow day-to-day events in this frontier settlement during a year when the railroad, two Presidents, a UFO, and Billy the Kid all came to town. Read "A Confining Winter" for a glimpse life in the Old West through its intriguing characters, including the most famous of all-Billy the Kid Recommended for Billy the Kid Aficionados, Western History Buffs, and Anyone who Loves Santa Fe Table of Contents Part I.

Billy Leaves Santa Fe-Again: An end . . . or a beginning? Excerpt: Such jails as there were in Territorial New Mexico had been hastily constructed and poorly built, usually of adobe or other vulnerable materials. Jailers relied more on chains and shackles than on secure jailhouse design to keep prisoners from escaping. A visitor once noted that the door to the Taos County lockup was securely fastened with a piece of twine. Understandably, escapes occurred frequently. Sheriff Pat Garrett-never one concerned with political correctness-remarked that southern New Mexico's Lincoln County never had a jail "that would hold a cripple." They certainly never held Billy.
