Beschreibung

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The sea as the origin of horror, an indispensable mark of William Hope Hodgson's literature


Originally published in 1909, “The Ghost Pirates” is a compelling and terrifying horror novel by English writer William Hope Hodgson. Hodgson is considered by many to be one of the best authors to ever write horror.

“The Ghost Pirates” is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power. - H.P. Lovecraft
Verfügbar seit: 24.06.2022.

    A young readers edition of the New York Times bestseller The Disappearing Spoon, chronicling the extraordinary stories behind one of the greatest scientific tools in existence: the periodic table.  Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why did tellurium (Te, 52) lead to the most bizarre gold rush in history?  The periodic table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's also a treasure trove of adventure, greed, betrayal, and obsession. The fascinating tales in The Disappearing Spoon follow elements on the table as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, conflict, the arts, medicine, and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.   Adapted for a middle grade audience, the young readers edition of The Disappearing Spoon offers the material in a simple, easy-to-follow format, with approximately 20 line drawings and sidebars throughout. Students, teachers, and burgeoning science buffs will love learning about the history behind the chemistry.

Feasting on tapas and wine, the six male and six female mice, each with a unique personality and a designated mariachi instrument, dream of sharing their music with the world. They embark on a tour across Mexico, captivating audiences of fellow mice while skillfully evading the clutches of menacing cats. Their talent doesn't go unnoticed, and a human record producer catapults them to stardom. Overnight, they are living a life of luxury, complete with fancy sports cars and designer mouseholes. However, their newfound fame causes them to forget their humble beginnings and their families. A chance encounter with a poor mouse family serves as a poignant reminder of their roots, prompting them to return to their hometown. They use their wealth to enrich their community, building schools and hospitals. The Mariachi Mice continue to make music, their songs now imbued with a deeper sense of purpose, gratitude, and the enduring importance of family and community.
