Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Second edition. 237p., wrps. Mario Vargas Llosa is right: Arguedas (1911-1969) sets a fundamental milestone in the development of Peruvian literature. In fact, his work opens the doors to modernity, masterfully concluding the experiences of the indigenista movement and inaugurating a later stage, characterized by a wide thematic diversity and by a permanent inquiry into the linguistic plane. To the strictly literary task it is possible to add his vast work as an anthropologist and folklorist.

Condition: Bueno. 201 1973,rústica.SINOPSIS:Escritas ambas en verso, la primera se desarrolla en una corte provenzal, Imberal, en la que un trovador y un Infante de Castilla se disputan el amor de su bella Princesa. Su subtítulo, Escenas rimadas de una manera extravagante, refleja su carácter de entretenimiento. En ella se unen, con una plasticidad típicamente modernista, la tradición y la novedad de lo mejor y más eterno de la literatura española: perfume antiguo del romancero, canción de gesta y corte de amor. Voces de gesta, Tragedia pastoril, de mayor alcance que la anterior, más personal y con mayor carga ideológica, es un canto apasionado y vehemente a la tradición, pero un canto elegíaco, porque en ella se mitifica una derrota y la idea de una España imposible de mantener. La acción, violenta y agridulce, parece recorrida por un viento misterioso, de amor y terror. Libro.

Hardcover. Hardcover. 4to. Published by Schiffer Military History, Atglen, PA. 1998. 260 pgs. Illustrated. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is free of marks and notes. Binding tight and solid. This book, the first in a multi-volume history of German aviation, provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of of jet aircraft design and development in Germany. The solid description, unique photo material, historical documents, numerous drawings and complete data tables - published for the first time - make this book not only a gripping story but also an indispensable reference work for anyone with an interest in the development of aviation. In August 1939 in Germany a small propellerless aircraft took off on its maiden flight under conditions of utmost secrecy: the world's first jet aircraft. Apart from Ernst Heinkel, Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain (inventor of the turbojet engine) and a small circle of their co-workers, no one suspected the profound effect that the successful flight of the tiny He 178 would have on aviation. Spurred on by Heinkel's success, very high speed aircraft were also put into the air by Messerschmitt, Arado and Junkers. On the other hand the designers of jet engines initially encountered almost insuperable problems, for in wartime high-quality raw materials such as nickel, cobalt and molybdenum were unobtainable and substitute materials had to be used in their place. But the designers, who were rushing ahead with their own projects, found a way around this with the help of experienced test pilots: in 1940 the Heinkel 280, the first twin-engined jet aircraft, was flown without engines as a towed glider; Messerschmitt installed an auxiliary piston engine in the nose of its twin-engined Me 262; Arado equipped its twin-engined Ar 234 with jet engines intended for ground tests only. The test pilots became accustomed to landing on just one working engine or none at all. In spite of shortages of strategic materials and the use of replacements, jet engines reached the production stage by the end of the war. But it was only possible to put small numbers of the very high speed aircraft into service, too late to have any decisive effect on the war. The development work on these first jet aircraft led to a tremendous technological leap forward; it was the beginning of advanced technology in aircraft design. ; Schiffer Military/Aviation History; 9 X 1 X 11.5 inches; 260 pages.

Bound in illustrated paper covered boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text has highlighting present. Binding tight and solid. The Heinkel He 219 was acknowledged by friend and foe alike as one of the most outstanding night fighters of World War II. In 1942, Heinkel received a contract to develop the twin-engined He 219. Not only was the He 219 very fast, with a maximum speed in excess of 600 km/h, but it also possessed excellent maneuverability, had a well-designed cockpit, and was equipped with airborne radar. The He 219 was the first German production aircraft to have a tricycle undercarriage and ejector seats for both crew members. The author provides many previously unpublished details in describing the development history of the He 219, the technology it employed, its testing, production, and use in combat. ; Schiffer Military History; 283 X 20 X 224 millimeters; 160 pages.

Binding tight and solid. This autobiography is an interesting story, one that has been relatively hidden until now. After joining Junkers, Amtmann helped with the wing design for both the Ju G 38 four-engined airliner, and later for the immortal "Tante Ju," the Ju 52/3m tri-motor. He transfered to Heinkel in 1933, and there he was involved with the sleek He 70 airliner. In 1934, he went to work for Blohm & Voss and stayed with this firm until the war ended in 1945. At Blohm & Voss, Amtmann worked on 13 projects. These ranged from the fabric-covered biplane trainer, Ha 136, to the super heavyweight BV 238, a six-engined flying boat. Under Project Paperclip, Amtmann came to Wright Field in 1946. Eventually Amtmann work for Convair on their new long-range flying boat, the R3Y, and then developed the launching system for the Atlas ICBM. He also had a hand in the Convair 340 and 440 airliners. The book is fascinating and certainly recommended, for it offers a look at one of the great opportunities our country grasped after the war. The benifits to our aerospace industries are incalcuable. Reading the book makes one realize how lacking we were when it came to advanced designs for aircraft; 9.25 X 0.75 X 12.25 inches; 128 pages.
