Love the Beastie	Daedalus Books
Автор: Drescher Henrik Издательство: Daedalus Books, 2011	PDF, 11 страниц, 0.33 МБ 7 Оценка:
Be kind to your pets! That's the message of Love the Beastie. Gross, outrageous, but pure fun in a book, Love the Beastie is a pull and poke, spin and play, and cuddle and kiss Valentine for kids and especially kids with pets. Meet Paul and Judy. And meet their pet, Beastie. Paul and Judy used to be so mean to Beastie. They pulled Beastie's hair, tickled Beastie's feet. So, Beastie feastied! Good thing Paul and Judy learned their lesson (stuck inside the belly of the Beastie). Written and illustrated by Henrik Drescher, Love the Beastie picks up where his irresistibly offbeat Pat the Beastie left off. Now Paul and Judy really are best friends with Beastie, and treat him with the love and respect he deserves. They go to the playground and spin on the carousel — don't throw up! Brush Beastie's gunky teeth (Gross!), and help Beastie play dress-up (ha, look at Beastie's funny clothes). Then, at the end of a long day, they all cuddle together in bed. Ahhh. So what if Beastie's kisses are scratchy or Beastie farts in his sleep. That doesn't mean a thing when you love someone.

Mick Jagger	Daedalus Books
Автор: Norman Philip Издательство: Daedalus Books, 2012	PDF, 622 страницы, 18.66 МБ 5 Оценка:
Author Phillip Norman, whose previous bestseller, John Lennon: The Life, was praised as a haunting, mammoth, terrific piece of work (New York Times Book Review) and whose classic Shout! is widely considered to be the definitive biography of the Beatles, now turns his attention to the iconic front man of the Rolling Stones, the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world. Norman's Mick Jagger is an extraordinarily detailed and vibrantly written in-depth account of the life and half-century-long career of one of the most fascinating and complex superstars of rock music — the most comprehensive biography to date of the famously enigmatic musician. Keith Richards had his say in Life. Now it's time to get to know intimately the other half of the duo responsible for such enduring hits as Paint It Black, Sympathy for the Devil, Gimme Shelter, and (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. Mick Jagger is a must read for Stones fans, and everyone who can't get enough of the serious memoirs and biographies of popular musicians, like Patti Smith's Just Kids, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? by Steven Tyler, and the Warren Zevon story, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.

Ballyhoo, Buckaroo, and Spuds: Ingenious Tales of Words and Their Origins	Daedalus Books
Автор: Quinion Michael Издательство: Daedalus Books, 2004	PDF, 280 страниц, 8.40 МБ 8 Оценка:
The cat's pajamas, the bee's knees, and the whole nine yards rolled into one, this true feast for wordlovers delightfully skewers commonly accepted word origin myths and etymological folk tales. The real story of a world or phrase's origin and evolution is often much stranger — and much more humorous — than the commonly accepted one; the many entries will certainly leave you happy as a clam. Happy as a clam? Really — what's so happy about being a clam? The saying makes much more sense when it's paired with its missing second half: at high water. Now a clam at high water is a safe clam, and thus a happy clam. The confusion surrounding the word kangaroo caused so much trouble that the Aborigines thought this English word meant any edible animal; they asked whether the cattle being unloaded from ships were kangaroos. From the bawdy to the sublime, Quinion's explanations and delightful asides truly prove that the proof is in the pudding.

ONE MOMENT IN TIME CAN HAUNT YOU FOREVER. Caught up in a moment of boyhood competition, William Bellman recklessly aims his slingshot at a rook resting on a branch, killing the bird instantly. It is a small but cruel act, and is soon forgotten. By the time he is grown, with a wife and children of his own, William seems to have put the whole incident behind him. It was as if he never killed the thing at all. But rooks don't forget... Years later, when a stranger mysteriously enters William's life, his fortunes begin to turn — and the terrible and unforeseen consequences of his past indiscretion take root. In a desperate bid to save the only precious thing he has left, he enters into a rather strange bargain, with an even stranger partner. Together, they found a decidedly macabre business. And Bellman & Black is born.

Cloud Atlas	Daedalus Books
Автор: Mitchell David Издательство: Daedalus Books, 2012	PDF, 514 страниц, 15.42 МБ 0 Оценка:
Cloud atlas is a cleverly written book consisting of six seperate, but connecting stories set across six different periods in time. Each story has been chopped in two and symmetrically placed in the book so you don’t discover the conclusion to the first tale until the very end of the book.This layout effectively creates a storytelling ripple where the sixth and final story is told, as a whole, at the books central core, before the reader then moves back out in the direction they came to discover each of the other characters destiny’s.

The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday	Daedalus Books
Автор: Alexander McCall Smith Издательство: Daedalus Books, 2008	PDF, 256 страниц, 7.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
In the fabulous new installment in the best-selling adventures of Isabel Dalhousie, Isabel is asked to help a doctor who has been disgraced by allegations of scientific fraud concerning a newly marketed drug. Our ever-curious moral philosopher finds her interest piqued. Would a doctor with a stellar reputation make such a simple but grave mistake? If not, what explains the tragic accident that resulted in the death of a patient? Clearly, an investigation is in order, especially since a man's reputation is in jeopardy. Could he be the victim of someone else's mistake? Or perhaps he has been willfully deceived by a pharmaceutical company with a great deal to gain. Not every problem prompts an investigation (take, for example, her ongoing struggle with her housekeeper, Grace, over the care of Isabel's infant son, Charlie), but, as we've seen, whatever the case, whatever the solution, Isabel's combination of spirit, smarts, empathy, and unabashed nosiness guarantees a delightful adventure.

Going Home	Daedalus Books
Автор: Lessing Doris Издательство: Daedalus Books, 1996	PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ 8 Оценка:
Africa belongs to the Africans; the sooner they take it back the better. But — a country also belongs to those who feel at home in it. Perhaps it may be that love of Africa the country will be strong enough to link people who hate each other now. Perhaps... Going Home is Doris Lessing's account of her first journey back to Africa, the land in which she grew up and in which so much of her emotion and her concern are still invested. Returning to Southern Rhodesia in 1956, she found that her love of Africa had remained as strong as her hatred of the idea of white supremacy espoused by its ruling class. Going Home evokes brilliantly the experience of thepeople, black and white, who have shaped and will shape a beloved country.

In One Person	Daedalus Books
Автор: Irving John Издательство: Daedalus Books, 2012	DjVu, 448 страниц, 17.92 МБ 7 Оценка:
«A compelling novel of desire, secrecy, and sexual identity, In One Person is a story of unfulfilled love — tormented, funny, and affecting — and an impassioned embrace of our sexual differences. Billy, the bisexual narrator and main character of In One Person, tells the tragicomic story (lasting more than half a century) of his life as a «sexual suspect,» a phrase first used by John Irving in 1978 in his landmark novel of «terminal cases,» The World According to Garp. His most political novel since The Cider House Rules and A Prayer for Owen Meany, John Irving's In One Person is a poignant tribute to Billy's friends and lovers — a theatrical cast of characters who defy category and convention. Not least, In One Person is an intimate and unforgettable portrait of the solitariness of a bisexual man who is dedicated to making himself «worthwhile.»

London Under: The Secret History Beneath the Streets	Daedalus Books
Автор: Ackroyd Peter Издательство: Daedalus Books, 2011	PDF, 228 страниц, 6.84 МБ 7 Оценка:
«London Under» is a wonderful, atmospheric, imagina-tive, oozing short study of everything that goes on under London, from original springs and streams and Roman amphitheaters to Victorian sewers, gang hideouts, and modern tube stations. The depths below are hot, warmer than the surface, and this book tunnels down through the geological layers, meeting the creatures, real and fictional, that dwell in darkness — rats and eels, mon-sters and ghosts. When the Underground's Metropolitan Line was opened in 1864, the guards asked for permission to grow beards to protect themselves against the sulfurous fumes, and named their engines after tyrants — Czar, Kaiser, Mogul — and even Pluto, god of the underworld. To go under London is to penetrate history, to enter a hid-den world. As Ackroyd puts it, «The vastness of the space, a second earth, elicits sensations of wonder and of terror. It partakes of myth and dream in equal measure.»
