New books on the shelf

Nieuwe engelstalige boeken - neue englischsprachige Bücher

11/98

 

Hi, readers out there ...

sorry for the delay and non-updates for some time, but we had to restructure our german parts first after two servers (including our mainserver) closing down without any warning or notice at all. The german books and media part is now online again and we could manage to find some new english and us releases. All of these are linked to american internet book mailshops - european (british, german or dutch) will hopefully be reinstated soon. So if you like to order one of the books just klick on the isbn link.

By the way the main adress for for the english bookparts will be at these URLs (bookmark them right now):

http://bookshelf.intercosmos.com/index.html (this one is new)

and if you can't reach us there try http://bow.to/bookshelf

 

And another new item on our english book pages: As we have set up on our german books pages, we have started a special page for books dedicated to young adults and older children (8-80). These books can be ordered via a specialist bookstore for childrens and parenting books: Cherryvalleybooks.cherry valley We are pleased to offer you books for sale through the Cherry Valley Books partner program. They handle the shipping and customer service (and do a great job at it, too :-), and we pick out books we think you might enjoy too. All orders are placed securely and backed by Cherry Valley Books' 100% satisfaction, money-back guarantee.

Thats all for today folks.

So Benedict agrees to help his father win the bielections - but the campaign turns out to be pretty rough ...

Although there are some horses involved, this is a rather unusual Dick Francis Story. And has both thrilling and funny parts. You really should not miss to meet "my Leonard" or all the other charakters of this story, brought to live by Martin Jarvis. (This is an abridged version, running approx. 3 hours on 2 Cassettes.)

Brass Monkeys
brass monkeyby Mark Cohen

Transport minister Hugh Drifbvood is an unlikely candidate for Prime Minister, but in the accident-prone new Government anything is possible - and he does have a powerful ally in his flamboyant stepmother, media tycoon Vanessa ...(who is unswerving in her own personal agenda to humiliate rival media mogul Victor Quistling). Hugh is sucked into a political and sexual scandal of potentially disastrous proportions. The (literally) explosive climax of these convoluted events takes place at the glittering Brass Monkeys Awards Ceremony and results in promotion for Hugh, the downfall of his arch-enemy Sloach and the probable arrest of a chimpanzee called Zoe...

The publishers, Hodder&Stoughton call it "A wildly funny black comedy that romps irreverantly through politics and the media, liberally flavoured with murder, mayhem and sexual shenanigans". We'll see.

Born in Glasgow, Mark Cohen took a degree interpreting and translating, he spent two years as a parliamentary research assistant, an experience he has used mercilessly in this book, and then moved into the city, where he is now a Director with a merchant bank.

4. Good Omens
by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett (released 1997)

Admitted, this is another release from 1997, but I could not resist to feature it again - because it is soooooooooo great.

We hear the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. Unfortunately, Sister Mary Loquacious of the Chattering Order has misplaced the Antichrist. The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse ride motorcycles. And the representatives from Heaven and Hell have decided they actually like the human race . . .
If you do ask humble me: you have to read this book or you will regret it forever. But who am I that anyone does ask me?
