Long Ago Lucretius Wrote: "For Lack Of Power To Solve The Question Troubles The Mind With Doubts, Whether There Was Ever A Birth-Time Of The World And Whether Likewise There Is To Be Any End." "And If" (He Says In answer) "There Was No Birth-Time Of Earth And Heaven And They Have Been From Everlasting, Why Before The Theban War And The Destruction Of Troy Have Not Other Poets As Well Sung Other Themes? Whither Have So Many Deeds Of Men So Often Passed Away, Why Live They Nowhere Embodied In Lasting Records Of Fame? The Truth Methinks Is That The Sum Has But A Recent Date, And The Nature Of The World Is New And Has But Lately Had Its Commencement."[2] [more]

omerus (Ancient Greek: Ὅμηρος [hómɛːros], Hómēros), best known as his anglicised name Homer, is the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. He was believed by the ancient Greeks to have been the first and greatest of the epic poets. Author of the first known literature of Europe, he had a lasting effect on the Western canon. Whether and when he lived is unknown. Herodotus estimates that Homer lived 400 years before his own time, which would place him at around 850 BCE.[1] Pseudo-Herodotus estimates that he was born 622 years before Xerxes I placed a pontoon bridge over the Hellespont in 480 BCE, which would place him at 1102 BCE, 168 years after the fall of Troy in 1270 BCE. These two end points are 252 years apart, representative of the differences in dates given by the other sources.[2] [more]

Der Umfang dieses Ebook entspricht 46 Taschenbuchseiten. Dieser Roman ist die Fortsetzung des Romans "McQuade setzt sich durch". In Tucson herrschte Krieg. Auf der einen Seite standen Recht und Ordnung, personifiziert in Wes Rafferty, dem Town Marshal, und Troy Howell, dem County Sheriff, auf der anderen Korruption, Skrupellosigkeit und Intriganz, verkörpert von einer Handvoll Geschäftsleute, die sich zu einer Interessengemeinschaft, dem Tucson-Ring, zusammengeschlossen hatten und die selbst vor kaltblütigem Mord nicht zurückschreckten. Für Recht und Ordnung kämpfte auch McQuade, der Kopfgeldjäger. Er trat dort auf, wo das Gesetz versagte oder auf schwachen Beinen stand. In Tucson waren die Männer, die es vertraten, in der Minderzahl, und so hatte sich der Kopfgeldjäger entschieden, in dem Krieg mitzumischen. Cover: Steve Mayer [more]

When I First Knew Stella She Was Within A Month Of Being fifteen, Which Is For Womankind An Unattractive Age. There Were A Startling Number Of Corners To Her Then, And She Had But Vague Notions As To The Management Of Her Hands And Feet. In consequence They Were Perpetually Turning up In unexpected places And Surprising her By Their Size And Number. Yes, She Was Very Hopelessly Fifteen; And She Was Used to Laugh, Unnecessarily, In a Nervous Fashion, Approximating to A Whinny, And When Engaged in conversation She Patted down Her Skirts Six Times To The Minute. It Seems Oddly Unbelievable When I Reflect That Rosalind--"Daughter To The Banished duke"--And Stella And Helen Of Troy, And All The Other Famous Fair Ones Of History, Were Each Like That At One Period Or Another. As For Myself, I Was Nine Days Younger Than Stella, And So I Was At This Time Very Old--Much Older Than It Is Ever Permitted anyone To Be Afterward. I Cherished the Most Optimistic Ideas As To My Impendent Moustache, And Was Wont In privacy To Encourage It With The Manicure-Scissors. I Still Entertained the Belief That Girls Were Upon The Whole Superfluous Nuisances, But Was Beginning to Perceive The Expediency Of Concealing this Opinion, Even In private Converse With My Dearest Chum, Where, In our Joyous Interchange Of Various Heresies, We Touched upon This Especial Sub-Division Of Fauna Very Lightly, And, I Now Suspect, With Some Self-Consciousness.

"The land where I was born" was, in my childhood, a great battleground. War--as we then thought the vastest of all wars, not only that had been, but that could ever be--swept over it. I never knew in those days a man who had not been in the war. So, "The War" was the main subject in every discussion and it was discussed with wonderful acumen. Later it took on a different relation to the new life that sprung up and it bore its part in every gathering much as the stories of Troy might have done in the land where Homer sang. To survive, however, in these reunions as a narrator one had to be a real contributor to the knowledge of his hearers. And the first requisite was that he should have been an actor in the scenes he depicted; secondly, that he should know how to depict them. Nothing less served. His hearers themselves all had experience and demanded at least not less than their own. [more]

Dieser Roman ist die Fortsetzung des Romans "Reite, McQuade, und rette Matt Manning" Es schien, als würde der Teufel an diesem Tag McQuade, dem Town Marshal, dem County Sheriff sowie Matthew Manning, das Verliererblatt zuschieben. Die Menschenmenge dachte nicht daran, dem Befehl des Sheriffs Folge zu leisten. Im Gegenteil, die Rotte begann sich in Bewegung zu setzen und schob sich auf die Männer zu, denen ein Strom von tödlicher Bedrohung entgegenschlug wie ein heißer Atem. „Zur Hölle mit dem verdammten Mob!“, knirschte Troy Howell, lud sein Gewehr durch, nahm es mit beiden Händen und hielt es schräg vor der Brust. „Viele von denen stehen in irgendeiner Beziehung zum Tucson-Ring, und sie sind aufgestachelt. Da kommen wir niemals durch.“ „Ich habe es dir prophezeit, McQuade!“, zischte Matt Manning, dessen Hände mit Handschellen auf den Rücken gefesselt waren. „Wenn du mich nach Tucson schaffst, lieferst du mich Richter Lynch aus. Die Pest an deinen Hals.“ „Wir sollten es nicht darauf ankommen lassen“, stieß Wes Rafferty hervor. „Ziehen wir uns wieder in mein Office zurück und verschanzen wir uns.“ „Gut“, knurrte der Sheriff. „Bring du Manning zurück in deinen Jail, Wes. McQuade und ich halten dir die Meute vom Hals.“ [more]
