Halbleder. Condition: leichte Gebrauchsspuren. TitelDas Lächeln des Weisen : Die schönsten Humoresken d. guten alten Mark Twain. / [Die Einl., Ausw. u. Übertr. besorgte Günther Birkenfeld] Person(en)Twain, Mark (Verfasser) Birkenfeld, Günther (Mitwirkender) VerlagBerlin : Deutsche Buch-Gemeinschaft Zeitliche EinordnungErscheinungsdatum: [1933] Umfang/Format409 S. ; 8 ISBN/Einband/PreisHldr. : 4.70 Sprache(n)Deutsch (ger) AnmerkungenStatus nach VGG: vergriffen Samuel Langhorne Clemens kam 1835 in Missouri als fünftes Kind zur Welt. Er war eine Frühgeburt und wurde 14 Tage nachdem der Halleysche Komet sichtbar geworden war geboren. Als er vier Jahre alt war zog seine Familie nach Hannibal, im selben Bundesstaat, Missouri. Seine Familie stürzte finanziell immer weiter ab und sie mussten sogar ihre einzige Sklavin Jenny verkaufen. Später zogen sie in das Haus eines Apothekers wo sie kostenlos wohnten, wenn sie sich um das Haus kümmerten. Als er elf Jahre alt war, starb sein Vater und er lernte den Beruf eines Schriftsetzers. Bis zu seinem 18. Lebensjahr arbeitete er für das Magazin Hanniball, welches seinem Bruder gehörte. Ab 1852 reiste er als Schriftsetzer durch Amerika. Aus St. Louis, Philadelphia, New York und Washington D. C. schrieb er Reiseberichte für die Zeitung seines Bruders. In New York City verbrachte er viele Abende in der dortigen öffentlichen Bibliothek, um seine bis dahin mangelhafte Allgemeinbildung erheblich zu verbessern. Er wurde Steuermann und arbeitete in diesem Beruf bis zu den Sezessionskriegen. Er war Mitglied der Freimaurerloge Polar Star Lodge No. 79, trat aber 1968 aus der Loge aus. Zur Zeit der Sezessionskriege meldete er sich beim Südstaatenmilitär, quitierte den Dienst aber nach zwei Wochen und floh mit seinem Bruder Orion in den Wilden Westen. Dort arbeitete er kurze Zeit als Goldgräber, wurde aber schon bald Reporter, der Klatschgeschichten aus den Saloons berichtete. 1863 musste er fliehen, da ihm Verleumdung bei einer seiner Geschichten nachgesagt wurde. Als nächster ging er auf Reisen und bereiste Europa, vor allem Deutschland gefiel ihm sehr. 1870 heiratete er Olivia Langdon die seit ihrem 16 Lebensjahr gelähmt war, sich durch seine Pflege aber sehr gut erholte. Er hatte vier Kinder mit Olivia gemeinsam, drei starben vor ihm. 1871 ließ er sich in Hartford, Conneticut nieder, hier lebte er 17 Jahre und schrieb seine erfolgreichsten Werke. 1891 reiste er erneut durch Europa und machte eine Lesereise. Er starb am 21. April 1910 in Redding, Connecticut als gefeierte Persönlichkeit. In deutscher Sprache. 409 pages. 19x13 cm.

Hardback. Condition: New. Updated and Uncensored! As a private banker working for the largest bank in the world, UBS, Bradley Birkenfeld was an expert in Switzerland's shell-game of offshore companies and secret numbered accounts. He wined and dined ultrawealthy clients whose millions of dollars were hidden away from business partners, spouses, and tax authorities. As his client list grew, Birkenfeld lived a life of money, fast cars, and beautiful women, but when he discovered that UBS was planning to betray him, he blew the whistle to the US Government. The Department of Justice scorned Birkenfeld's unprecedented whistle-blowing and attempted to silence him with a conspiracy charge. Yet Birkenfeld would not be intimidated. He took his secrets to the US Senate, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Internal Revenue Service, where he prevailed.His bombshell revelations helped the US Treasury recover over $15 billion (and counting) in back taxes, fines, and penalties from American tax cheats. But Birkenfeld was shocked to discover that at the same time he was cooperating with the US Government, the Department of Justice was still doggedly pursuing him. He was arrested and served thirty months in federal prison. When he emerged, the Internal Revenue Service gave him a whistle-blower award for $104 million, the largest such reward in history.A page-turning real-life thriller, Lucifer's Banker Uncensored is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the secret Swiss high-net worth banking industry and a harrowing account of our government's justice system. Readers will follow Birkenfeld and share his outrage with the incompetence and possible corruption at the Department of Justice, and they will cheer him on as he ''hammers'' one of the most well-known and powerful banks in the world.
