His most popular tale, 'The Dangerous Game', also published as 'The Hounds of Zaroff', is a perfect example of Connell's impressive talent and distinct style. Still frequently adapted for stage and screen nearly a century after it first appeared, it is the fascinating and exciting tale of Sanger Rainsford, an experienced big-game hunter. Rainsford suddenly finds himself the hunted when he is ship-wrecked on a seemingly deserted island. There he finds General Zaroff, a retired military man, who has grown bored of hunting animals and now spends his time hunting human sailors who get stranded on his island.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1959, 'The Measure of a Man' is a collection of two influential sermons given by Martin Luther King, Jr. at the first National Conference on Christian Education of the United Church of Christ at Purdue University in August 1958. The two sermons, 'What is Man ' and 'The Dimensions of a Complete Life', were printed together and published as 'The Measure of a Man' by the Christian Education Press with the consent of King the following year. These sermons reflect ideas that King first began to develop during his days in the seminary and address what King believed to be 'one of the most important questions confronting any generation'. He argued that the answer to what precisely made us human and different from other animals was complicated as we are biological beings, but also beings of spirit and thought. King argued that while we are made in the image of God and thus have a connection to the divine and perfect, we are also sinners in need of divine grace from God, our Creator. King's sermons are as thought-provoking and inspiring now as when he gave them and remain an important addition to his body of work. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - We have Czech writer Karel Capek to thank for the invention of the word robot and generally for the introduction of the idea of artificial intelligence to the world of literature. His play, 'R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)' was first performed in 1921 and was an instant success. While the 'robots' of the play could be more accurately described as cyborgs, Capek's influence on the science fiction genre with this play would be profound. 'R.U.R.' describes a future where robots have become universal and all of humanity is now dependent on the labor that they provide. Everything is perfect until the robot's are stirred into revolt. 'R.U.R.' is Capek's prophetic and dark dystopian vision of the future which would solidify his place in literary history.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Born and educated in Dublin, Ireland, William Butler Yeats discovered early in his literary career a fascination with Irish folklore and the occult. He was a complex man, who struggled between beliefs in the strange and supernatural, and scorn for modern science. He was intrigued by the idea of mysticism, yet had little regard for Christianity. His close friend, Ezra Pound, exposed Yeats to the symbolic theatre genre of Japanese Noh drama, prompting him to write 'At the Hawk's Well' in 1916. The play, based on the Cuchulain legends of Irish mythology, uses Japanese-style masks and very simple sets to achieve an abstract, stylized form. The story is set by a dried up well on a barren mountainside, guarded constantly by a hawk-woman, and watched diligently by an old man who has waited fifty years to drink from its miraculous waters and the young Cuchulain who fails to heed the old man's warnings.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - There exist, of course, few more famous figures in the field of psychology than Sigmund Freud. As the founding father of psychoanalysis, or the clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, his impact on the field of psychology cannot be overstated. This short work, 'Five Lectures on Psycho-Analysis', is a collection of a series of lectures given by Freud at the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the founding of Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts during September 1909 and was published as a collection in 1910. This event, at which Freud was awarded an honorary doctorate, received widespread media attention and marked the beginning of public popularity for Freud and his ideas. The publication of the lectures brought an even greater public attention to his theories. 'Five Lectures on Psycho-Analysis' predates the more extensive collection 'Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis', which is a series of lectures given by Freud from 1915 to 1917 and which delve more deeply into the topics of dreams, the unconscious mind, and the source of neuroses. 'Five Lectures on Psycho-Analysis' is an excellent and accessible introduction to Freud's influential work in which he summarizes his basic ideas and speaks on the foundations of psychoanalysis. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Harry W. Chase.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Noted German polymath Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz was one of the most important philosophers of the Enlightenment era. A contemporary of Isaac Newton, Leibniz is today best remembered for independently developing a system of differential and integral calculus. As a philosopher he ranks as one of three great proponents of rationalism, along with Rene Descartes and Baruch Spinoza. Unpublished until the middle of the 19th century, Leibniz's 'Discourse on Metaphysics' is a philosophical work in which the author argues that 'God is an absolutely perfect being' and therefore our world is the best possible one in which a perfect being could create. Also included in this volume is the 'Monadology'. Written near the end of Leibniz's life and published posthumously, the 'Monadology' is a collection of elementary principles or 'monads', in which the philosopher seeks answers to the nature of reality and tries to address the problems that arise from mind-body dualism. Both admired and ridiculed by his contemporaries, Leibniz's works remain as an important part of the canon of Enlightenment era philosophy. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of George R. Montgomery.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - We have Czech writer Karel Capek to thank for the invention of the word robot and generally for the introduction of the idea of artificial intelligence to the world of literature. His play, 'R. U. R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)' was written in 1920 and was first performed in 1921. The play was an instant success and was translated into over 30 languages within two years of its first performance. The play begins in a factory that makes the 'robots', which could be more accurately described as cyborgs, since they are more living creature than machine. 'R. U. R.' envisions a future where robots have become universal and all of humanity is now dependent on the labor that they provide, which remains a timely subject even one hundred years later. At first, everything seems perfect and the robots are happy to serve humans until the robots are later stirred into revolt. Capek's vision of a dystopian future where humans may be ruled by machines was immediately and profoundly influential on the science fiction genre and to future authors. 'R. U. R.' is Capek's prophetic and dark dystopian vision of the future which would solidify his place in dramatic history and leave a lasting legacy on modern literature.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1927 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1928, 'The Bridge of San Luis Rey' is the moving story of a tragic accident and its aftermath by American author Thornton Wilder. The novel tells the fictional story of the victims of a horrific collapse of an Incan rope bridge in Peru and how they came to be on the bridge on that fateful day. Set in the early 18th century, the novel begins with a description of the bridge's collapse, which claimed the lives of all five people who were crossing it, by the tragedy's sole witness: a Franciscan friar, Brother Juniper, who was almost crossing the bridge himself when it collapsed. Brother Juniper wishes to make sense of the day's events and hopes to understand how the tragedy relates to Divine Providence by finding out all that he can about the victims. The friar begins a philosophical and introspective journey that will last him several years and takes him thousands of miles. Critically acclaimed and deeply thoughtful, 'The Bridge of San Luis Rey' endures as a timeless story of loss, tragedy, and man's eternal search for meaning in a cruel world.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Chicago Poems' is an early collection of poems by American writer, poet, and three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Sandburg. Published in 1916 and his first by a mainstream publisher, this collection was a critical success and began Sandburg's career as a notable writer. Sandburg was a champion of an American form of social realism that celebrated American people, industry, and agriculture. He expressed this sentiment in an easy-to-read and plain-speaking free verse, a style that is often compared to Walt Whitman. Sandburg began working on the 'Chicago Poems' in 1912, after moving to the city from Milwaukee with his wife and their young children. He embraced the gritty realism of the city, its important and central location to American commerce, and the hardworking people who kept the industrial machine running. Lyrical, soulful, compassionate, and intimately human, Sandburg earned his reputation as the 'poet of the people' with his loving treatment of the common man and his struggles. Among the dozens of poems in this honest and touching collection are many of his most famous, such as 'Chicago', 'Fog', 'Who Am I ', and 'Under the Harvest Moon'. This collection by one of America's most gifted poets is a moving meditation on love, loss, war, immigration, loneliness, and the beauty of the natural world.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Karl Marx is one of the most influential social theorists and political philosophers of the 19th century. His hugely significant works 'The Communist Manifesto' and 'Das Kapital' fundamentally changed the way the world viewed economy and politics. His groundbreaking theory that much of a society's conflict is based on an economic imbalance between the wealthy ruling class, the bourgeoisie, who control the means of production, and the working class, or the proletariat, who are forced to sell their labor in return for wages, helped spur the development of socialist and communist political systems. This edition contains two of his more important essays. First written in 1847, 'Wage Labour and Capital' is the foundation for the economic theories that were later developed in 'Das Kapital'. 'Value, Price, and Profit' was first given as a speech by Marx in 1865 and expands on his ideas regarding the relationship between wages and profit. Marx argues that workers are responsible for creating the value that leads to profit and they are entitled to share in it through increased wages. Marx's theories remain widely studied for their relevance and insight into the problems and inequalities that continue to exist in modern economic systems.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In May of 1910, 'Cosmopolitan Magazine' published an article by Upton Sinclair regarding his experiences with fasting. That article was subsequently also published by the United Kingdom publication 'Contemporary Review' the following month. According to Sinclair no other magazine article had attracted such public attention as this article. As a result of this outpouring of interest 'Cosmopolitan Magazine' asked Sinclair to write an additional article, which was then published in the February, 1911 edition of the magazine. 'The Fasting Cure' is made up from these two articles, with the addition of some notes and comments, and some portions of articles contributed to the 'Physical Culture' magazine. Sinclair writes in his preface to the work that his 'object in publishing this book is two-fold: first, to have something to which I can refer people, so that I will not have to answer half a dozen 'fasting letters' every day for the rest of my life; and second, in the hope of attracting sufficient attention to the subject to interest some scientific men in making a real investigation of it.' This edition of 'The Fasting Cure' is presented to the reader as a historical work and no claim is made regarding the validity of the dietary claims made within. Readers should consult their physician before undergoing any diet. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Underdogs: A Novel of the Mexican Revolution' is Mariano Azuela's fictional account of the Mexican Revolution. Originally published as a newspaper serial in 1915, then as a complete novel in 1920, it was first translated into English in 1929 and was a critical and financial success. Based closely on Azuela's own experiences, it is the story of Demetrio Macias, a peasant who is mistreated by government soldiers and must flee his home. He runs to the mountains and forms a group of revolutionaries to help overthrow the corrupt dictator, Porfirio Diaz. Macias and his comrades are a motley group of outcasts who are often unsure of what precisely they are fighting for and are sometimes no better than the cruel government they are rebelling against. Rather than a simple struggle of honorable peasants against an unjust government, Azuela's tale is sophisticated and nuanced and captures in stunning detail the lives of the poor, the passion of the revolutionaries, and the heartbreaking disillusionment they must often face. In Azuela's depiction of Demetrio Macias, he captures the complicated spirit of the Mexican people and his masterful telling of this conflict between the rebels and the federales helped to establish him as one of Mexico's preeminent novelists.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Considered to be one of the most important self-help books ever written, 'I Dare You!' was first published in 1931 by William Danforth, the founder of the Ralston-Purina pet food company and the American Youth Foundation. Danforth was a successful entrepreneur who spent much of his life helping and counseling young people and founded a youth camp in Michigan dedicated to mentoring youth. In this influential work, he expounded on his belief that a healthy and productive life depended on keeping four important elements in balance. These elements were physical, mental, social, and religious. A person must develop each element individually, but must not focus on one element to the detriment of the others. Danforth also believed in the importance of dedicating one's attention and efforts to the task at hand and treating each job and day as the most important one ever. Danforth never approached any challenge with less than complete attention and he inspired countless young people with his unwavering enthusiasm and determination. 'I Dare You!' is a timeless classic that will encourage everyone to face life's challenges with a determined spirit. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
