Paperback. Condition: Fair. Ahhh yes ? that proud little ?2/6? on the cover. Not a mysterious code. Not a spy signal. Not a chapter number. Just good old two shillings and sixpence ? the price in proper pre-decimal British money. In other words: half a crown . In modern currency? About 12½p. Which, sadly, is not what you?re char…ging today. Right. Let?s do this properly. The Spies of Peenemünde (1959) Don Betteridge Corgi Books ISBN: none (because barcodes were for the future) Condition: Fair As sold by Crappy Old Books Here we have Cold War paperback drama in its purest, most deliciously pulp form. Rockets. Spies. Suspicion. A man in a trench coat who looks permanently five seconds away from either lighting a cigarette or betraying someone. And looming over it all ? Peenemünde, that very real German rocket site whose name alone sounds like it should be whispered. The cover does most of the shouting for you: sleek missile, noir lighting, a woman who knows things, and that magnificent ?2/6? price circle at the top ? a relic from when international intrigue cost less than a Mars bar. It?s a wonderful historical footnote. Once upon a time you could buy atomic-age paranoia for half a crown. You cannot anymore. Now you must pay slightly more than 12½p for your espionage, but rest assured: inflation has not dulled the drama. Inside, this is classic late-1950s spy fiction ? brisk, tense, utterly convinced that secrets are hidden in plain sight and that every conversation in a café could alter the balance of global power. The rockets aren?t metaphorical. The danger isn?t abstract. The Cold War hums quietly beneath every page like a radio tuned just slightly off frequency. Betteridge writes in that efficient, no-nonsense style that suggests men carry dossiers in their inside pockets and women can outwit entire ministries with a raised eyebrow. There will be suspicion. There will be coded messages. There may be a hurried departure in the night. Nobody ever just ?walks? anywhere ? they move cautiously. And the Fair condition? Perfect, frankly. A 1959 Corgi spy paperback should not look factory-fresh. It should look like it has travelled by train, been read under dim lamps, and perhaps bent slightly during a moment of suspense. The wear adds atmosphere. This is a book that has done its rounds. That 2/6 circle remains on the cover as a charming reminder that once upon a time the world?s secrets were affordable. Now it?s a collectible slice of mid-century tension, complete with period typography and a whiff of trench-coat seriousness. Buy it for the pulp. Buy it for the rockets. Buy it for the sheer joy of seeing ?2/6? and realising you are holding a tiny, dramatic piece of Britain before decimalisation. Half a crown in 1959. A small fortune in atmosphere today.

Cartoné con sobrecubierta. Condition: Buen estado. Colección "Apocalipsis" Traducción de Rafael Olivar. Tapas en tela verde, descoloridas, sobrecubierta con pequeños cortes, sellos de librería. Es este uno de los relatos más asombrosos que jamas se han publicado, que a un apasionante contenido, unen un valor documentad a todas l…uces extraordinario. Partiendo de la premisa científica de que la mentalidad de los dictadores predispone a éstos a la superstición, Don Betteridge efectúa en estas páginas un estudio analítico de la psicología de losdictadores en su aspecto supersticioso. Bien conocida ha sido la afición de Hitler a los astrólogos, a quienes consultaba antes de emprender sus más importantes decisiones. Supóngase que, en una fase crítica de la guerra, un agente del Servicio Secreto Británico se hubiese introducido era lugar de un astrólogo de Hitler, ¡para dar al Führer un consejo engañador en el momento preciso! Tal es el sorprendente tema de esta emocionante novela, original y animada en todas sus páginas. El fondo en el que se mueven sus personajes es sensacional, pero exacto -el autor se reunió realmente con Hitler y con toda su pandilla-, y la imagen que nos da de la vida en Berchtesgaden está llena de interés. Sin embargo, el aspecto principal del relato es la emoción y el drama que en él se respiran, a medida que el espía británico impone paulatinamente su voluntad a Hitler, ¡con la ayuda de Nostradamus y otros videntes.
