Beschreibung

Across the vast reaches of space lies Barsoom, a world of adventure, intrigue, and heroism. In The John Carter/Barsoom Collection Volume I, Edgar Rice Burroughs transports readers to Mars, where warriors clash, ancient secrets unfold, and impossible love defies the odds. This volume gathers the first seven thrilling novels of Burroughs’ legendary Barsoom series, following John Carter, an Earth-born warrior who becomes the greatest champion of an alien world.     The saga begins with A Princess of Mars, where John Carter, a Confederate soldier mysteriously transported to Mars, discovers a dying planet locked in endless war. Amid towering Tharks and the noble Red Martians, he fights to protect Dejah Thoris, the princess whose love gives him purpose. The adventure continues in The Gods of Mars, where Carter battles his way through the mysterious Valley Dor and the false gods that enslave Mars. In The Warlord of Mars, his quest for vengeance and justice reaches a stunning climax, cementing his place as the planet’s greatest hero.     The story expands beyond John Carter in Thuvia, Maid of Mars, where the fate of Barsoom rests in the hands of new heroes, navigating treachery, forbidden love, and supernatural forces. In The Chessmen of Mars, the game turns deadly as Tara of Helium is forced to play for her life in a city ruled by living chess pieces. The series takes a sharp turn into psychological intrigue and mind control in The Master Mind of Mars, introducing a rogue Earth scientist with a sinister purpose. A Fighting Man of Mars rounds out this collection with a tale of courage, adventure, and a relentless warrior willing to face impossible odds to rescue the woman he loves.     With its blend of high adventure, romance, and cosmic wonder, The John Carter/Barsoom Collection Volume I stands as one of the great cornerstones of classic science fiction. Edgar Rice Burroughs’ vivid imagination and storytelling genius have inspired generations of writers, filmmakers, and dreamers. Published by Classicus, this definitive volume is a must-read for those who crave pulse-pounding action, epic battles, and the eternal struggle between honor and power in a world unlike any other.

    Step out over the abyss and discover the incredible story of professional slackliner Friedi Kühne overcoming personal limits, grappling with mental toughness, and achieving greatness from thousands of feet in the air.Slacklining is an ever-evolving extreme sport in which an athlete must walk across a thin line of flexible webbing from one point to another. What once began as a trendy hobby—with a person balancing just a foot or two off the ground between two trees—has now evolved into intense feats of athleticism, including performing flips, twists, and other tricks across the slackline (tricklining) and achieving incredible balancing acts from, for some intrepid athletes, heights upwards of 6,000 feet (highlining).In Above the Abyss, author and professional slackliner Friedi Kühne dives into his slackline journey, from doing tricks as a kid on trampolines and park benches to trying his first highline at 18 years old. Along the way, Kühne learns how to train his body to achieve balance, find focus, and stay resilient. His love of slacklining takes him all over the world as he competes for world records, achieves personal milestones, and ultimately discovers how physical and mental limits can be overcome if we don’t allow our fears to hold us back.From nail-biting descriptions of highline adventures to practical advice and strategies that have carried Kühne between mountains and skyscrapers, Above the Abyss captures the passion, struggles, and determination at the center of one man’s pursuit of slackline greatness.

    Deborah Eisenberg is nearly unmatched in her mastery of the short-story form. Now, in her newest collection, she demonstrates once again her virtuosic abilities in precisely distilled, perfectly shaped studies of human connection and disconnection. From a group of friends whose luck in acquiring a luxurious Manhattan sublet turns to disaster as their balcony becomes a front-row seat to the catastrophe of 9/11; to the Roman holiday of a schoolteacher running away from the news of her ex-husband's life-threatening illness, and her unlikely guide, a titled art scout in desperate revolt against his circumstances and aging; to the too painful love of a brother for his schizophrenic sister, whose tragic life embitters him to the very idea of family, Eisenberg evokes "intense, abundant human lives" in which "everything that happens is out there waiting for you to come to it."

    When Flor Morgan mounts her Harley Davidson on what seems like an ordinary Wednesday, she is unaware that this will be her last ride for a decade.
     
    Flor’s journey is one for which she could never have been prepared.
     
    How does one move beyond a head-on motorway collision between a Skoda Fabia and a Harley Davidson?
     
    Who survives, and why?
     
    Flor is a survivor, a fighter. She battles not only to heal her physical wounds but also to overcome the mental and emotional scars that the path to recovery inflicts. Flor knew her recovery would be challenging, but she didn’t anticipate that the very systems meant to aid her would nearly be more lethal than the collision itself.
     
    Initially written to pave her way to healing, Flor now shares her story with the hope of helping others. She recounts her experiences as she has lived them: by finding the good and the humour in the everyday. After all, you can’t lose the plot if you’re laughing, right?
