Pure Engelhard gem. In this one, The Girls of Cincinnati, he's given us something never thought possible, a coming-of-age saga that's also a sizzling thriller. The plot here is riveting. The dialogue sparkles. What's it about? It's about life. Anyone who's been in love - especially love that appears to be out of reach - will understand what's going on between Engelhard's two heroes, Eli Brilliant and Stephanie Eaton. Anyone who feels the approach of menace will understand what these two must endure when a crazed woman appears on the scene, threatening them both with "a fate worse than death." Anyone who works at a dead-end job will be right there with Eli, who ends up working for Harry's Carpet City in Cincinnati, Ohio. Eli is back home in the Midwest after he failed to make it in New York as an actor. So that's one dream down the drain. But now that he's back in Cincinnati, he's got Stephanie Eaton - or does he? Something always goes wrong between them, and this time, terribly... Views: 36
Here is the first panoptic history of the long struggle between the Christian West and Islam. In this dazzlingly written, acutely nuanced account, Andrew Wheatcroft tracks a deep fault line of animosity between civilizations. He begins with a stunning account of the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, then turns to the main zones of conflict: Spain, from which the descendants of the Moors were eventually expelled; the Middle East, where Crusaders and Muslims clashed for years; and the Balkans, where distant memories spurred atrocities even into the twentieth century. Throughout, Wheatcroft delves beneath stereotypes, looking incisively at how images, ideas, language, and technology (from the printing press to the Internet), as well as politics, religion, and conquest, have allowed each side to demonize the other, revive old grievances, and fuel across centuries a seemingly unquenchable enmity. Finally, Wheatcroft tells how this fraught history led to our present maelstrom. We cannot, he argues, come to terms with today's perplexing animosities without confronting this dark past. Views: 36
