258,95 kr. In the years after the Civil War, James Oakley moves his family to the banks of Little Hatchet Creek in New Mexico. When his little brother is kidnapped from the front porch of their cabin, 12-year-old Walter Oakley sets off in pursuit. In time, the Oakleys make their peace with the existing residents of their new neighborhood: the Mescalero Apaches, the Comanches, and the Tejanos. But new challenges await in Texas as the new century dawns. The hardships posed by the frontier pale compared with Walter's efforts to keep his family together amid the decadence, drunkenness, and violence of Prohibition. As the first installment in The Oakleys, Little Hatchet is an epic historical family saga that portrays the multigenerational struggle for survival, loosely based on the author's kin. A tale of courage, determination, and endurance set against the unimaginable tragedies that beset the lives of Ada and Walter Oakley and their eight children.

258,95 kr. On a nearly moonless night in October 1943, a single gunshot rang out in Littlefield, Texas. A prominent Texas doctor and his wife were found bound, shot, beaten, and murdered. The only witness: their five-year-old daughter, who was bound to silence and refused to speak about what happened for 70 years. The heinous crime remains unsolved. For years, the courts tried to convict one suspect, but forensic evidence contradicted the prosecution's case. Investigators, including the famed Texas Rangers, failed to bring anyone to justice. > Author and historian Christena Stephens spent more than a decade researching the Hunt murders, re-examining every twist and turn in the legal process, uncovering new evidence, and drawing new conclusions about who might have been responsible. > Why did the criminal justice system repeatedly fail to bring anyone to justice? What could have scared a 5-year-old girl into a lifetime of silence? What did investigators miss? And most importantly, who killed Roy and Mae Hunt? Bound in Silence is a true crime tour-de-force, a meticulously researched, impeccably told tale of unsolved murder on the High Plains.

145,95 kr. 故事由错位时空中截然不同的"我们"被"宿命"远程连接,回形流动组成。在不同的"同时",各自跟随虚空中的声音,跟踪颠沛流离的轨迹,投入进没有任何装饰的生命。在自己的光源里正见自己,历经理所当然的分离,交出没有指望的情谊......直到厌倦自我,直到一无所知,直到退回到新的原点,来到各自的根本各自团聚。在所有灰烬之后,站在世界之圆上重生,然后继续着天然的智能再次回归游戏。其中人物情节等均是作者从自身梦境与现实之间发生相互交叠的真实构建中集合而来,将梦的实体与现实的虚拟贯通为一体,只因它们本为一体。记录着"在"与"不在"的对话和不同维度在表象之下的演出。

213,95 kr. "Grinders: Baseball's Intrepid Infantry tells the tales of the game's unheralded foot soldiers who took the hard knocks road, bouncing between the Show and obscurity, never quite achieving their dreams, all for a chance to play the game they love. On a brutally humid summer night in 1960, a nine-year-old Mike Capps was sitting with his grandfather in the rickety, mosquito-infested Burnett Field across the Trinity River from the twinkling lights of the concrete and steel towers of downtown Dallas. When he glanced at his grandfather's scoresheet, something caught his attention. His grandfather had made check marks alongside names of six or seven players for both clubs. "I also want you to pay attention to the names I have checked here," his grandfather said. "These guys will travel back and forth between Dallas and Kansas City and Minneapolis and Boston all summer. You'll even see their names in the box scores. They aren't stars, but they are the engine that drives baseball's bus." "Drives baseball's bus, drives baseball's bus?" The comment buried itself in Capps' psyche for decades, and, sixty years later, formed the basic idea for this book. What his grandfather called baseball's "engine" we now call "grinders." The back-and-forth roller coaster ride between professional baseball's minor leagues and its nirvana, Major League Baseball, remains perplexingly difficult for a multitude of great players and their families. Players like Deacon Jones, Brian Mazone, and Lorenzo Bundy battled their way to a chance in the big leagues and hung on as long as they could. Some shared the love of the game with their sons, who became Grinders in their own right. Grinders fill every roster at every level, plugging away year after year. Without their grit, determination, and persistence, there would be no stars. These are their stories"--
