901 tulosta hakusanalla Storrie Paul D.
He wanted nothing more than to live in peace, until a petty tyrant forced him into a cruel choice: Swiss hunter William Tell is famous for his great skill with a crossbow. A mild-mannered husband and father, he just wants a quiet life for his family. Yet his homeland's brutal foreign rulers are making such an existence impossible. Then, one day, a ruthless official forces Tell into a terrible choice: Shoot an apple off his son's head--or be killed along with his son. Will he accept this awful challenge?
Famous for his superhuman strength, Hercules is the most popular hero in Greek mythology. The son of Zeus--king of the gods--and a mortal mother, Hercules faces the wrath of Zeus's wife Hera, who resents her illegitimate stepson and vows to bring him misery. With her magical powers, she tricks Hercules into performing a series of twelve seemingly impossible labors, each one a test of his strength, courage, cunning, and fighting skill. Is Hercules strong enough to foil her scheme? For this exciting retelling of the twelve labors, author Paul Storrie consulted the classic work The Age of Fable (1859), by American Thomas Bulfinch, and Edith Hamilton's Mythology (1942), both of which are considered the best resources about on ancient myths and legends. Artist Steve Kurth also relied on historical research to accurately bring to life the world of ancient Greece.

"The Delirious Museum" is a remarkable, illuminating work, which presents an original view of the idea of the museum in the twenty-first century, re-imagining the possibilities for museums and their displays and re-examining the blurred boundaries between museums and the cities around them. On his quest for the Delirious Museum, Storrie takes a journey that begins in the Louvre and continues through Paris, London, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. He encounters on his way the museum architecture of John Soane, Carlo Scarpa and Daniel Libeskind, the exhibitions of El Lissitsky and of Frederick Kiesler, and the work of artists as varied as Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, Marcel Broodthaers, Sophie Calle and Mark Dion.

This is the first biography of Lady Charlotte Bury (1775–1861), a renowned novelist and celebrated beauty who listed Sir Walter Scott and Matthew ‘Monk’ Lewis among her admirers. Born the youngest daughter of John Campbell, 5th Duke of Argyll, and his wife Elizabeth, née Gunning, she married twice for love, gave birth to eleven children, travelled extensively in France, Switzerland and Italy, served as lady-in-waiting to Caroline of Brunswick, Princess of Wales, and published collections of poetry and twenty ‘silver-fork’ novels. As a former member of the royal court, Bury gained notoriety as the suspected author of the anonymous and highly scandalous Diary Illustrative of the Times of George IV (1838), which has overshadowed her legacy as a female writer. Her fictional characters explore the ways in which perceptions of women in literature and society were undergoing rapid change, a process of which she herself—like her contemporary, Jane Austen—was a catalyst. By the time of her death, aged 86, Bury was widely considered one of the foremost female novelists of her generation, yet by the turn of the century her work had been largely forgotten. 'Forget Not', a translation of Ne Obliviscaris, was the apt motto of the House of Argyll, of which Lady Charlotte Bury was a daughter.
