This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 15 working days This is the first critical edition of the original 1625 travel account by Anthony Knivet, an Englishman who spent nine years in Brazil in the last decade of the sixteenth century. His is the oldest extensive account of Brazil written by an Englishman, but despite its historical, geographical, and ethnographic relevance it has never merited an annotated (or even a separate) edition in English. This edition, which includes a detailed introduction and extensive notes, allows the English-speaking public to follow Knivet's compelling tale. The account describes Knivet's incredible adventures, experienced roughly between 1592 and 1601, which include working as a drudge for the governor of Rio de Janeiro, escaping into the hinterland to live with native tribes and joining in expeditions of conquest and gold-seeking. The story provides a unique insight into early colonial Brazil and the myriad of people occupying its territory: Portuguese settlers, mixed-race servants, Indians, slaves, and European travellers. Features Summary This is the first comprehensive, annotated edition in English of Anthony Knivet's 1625 travel account.

Few fantasy adventures have ever captured the imagination the way Raymond E. Feist's magical Riftwar Saga has. Praised as a creation that "invites comparison with Tolkien's Lord of the Rings" The Riftwar Saga was the tale of a young sorcerer whose destiny would forever change the fate of two enchanted realms. — Now Raymond E. Feist returns to the world of that stunning creation with a novel as electrifying as any he has ever written.The twenty years which have passed since the end of the Riftwar have been quiet and prosperous. King Lyam has ruled the nation firmly and gently. Prince Arutha has justly governed the city of Krondor. Young Jimmy the Hand has evolved from a roof-running thief into Baron James, an invaluable aide to Arutha.But the years of tranquility are destined to end. For King Lyam has produced no heir and Arutha, heir apparent, has renounced his claim to the throne--leaving Arutha's son Borric next in line for the crown. Borric and his twin brother Erland have learned a great deal about brawling, wenching, and gambling...but little else. Now they must quickly master both maturity and statecraft.Meanwhile, on the kingdom's southern horizon, the Empress of Kesh is about to celebrate her Jubilee. Arutha decides to send Borric and Erland--this is precisely the kind of diplomatic mission that could turn his foolhardy boys into reasoning adults.But little does anyone know that a seething rebillion lies just under the surface in the Keshian provinces, and that devious and deadly intrigue is the game preferred by all in the Keshian court.When as assassination attempt is made on the twins' lives--by a member of the Keshian royal family--the two princes are faced with a deadly adventure...one that will take them into the dark heart of Kesh, where grave danger and strange magics lie in wait.The work of a master storyteller at the top of his form, Prince of the Blood is epic fantasy at its very best. Forward lean.

No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were. Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses. Features Summary Includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass.
