This vintage book contains Henryk Sienkiewicz's 1884 historical novel, "With Fire and Sword". It is set in the seventeenth century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the time of the Khmelnytsky Uprising, and presents real historical events interwoven with a fictional story. Many of the characters are actual historical figures, including Jeremi Wisniowiecki and Bohdan Khmelnytsky. "With Fire and Sword" was hugely popular in Poland and is arguably one of the most important Polish novels ever written. Henryk Adam Aleksander Pius Sienkiewicz (1846 - 1916) was a Polish novelist, journalist, and Nobel Prize laureate. He is most famous for his fantastic historical novels, namely the international best-seller "Quo Vadis" (1896). Other notable works by this author include "Without dogma" (1891) and "On the Field of Glory" (1906). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive and we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. Views: 366

When the wheels touch down in Dallas, the team is greeted with another body and a possible eyewitness. They quickly put together a suspect profile, a profile that leaves the agents with more questions than answers.
Little does Hank, or anyone else at the Bureau, know the true level of savagery of those they seek. When the evidence puts the two sides face to face, nothing will ever be clearer.

Kathleen Saville and her husband, Curt, had recently gotten married and were settling down in a small town in New York—when Kathleen started to realize that maybe they weren't quite ready to settle down. The year before, she and Curt had retraced Henry David Thoreau's canoe journey through the Maine Woods, and both were veteran rowers. Inspired, she suggested that they row across the Atlantic Ocean. Returning to her hometown, living on a shoestring, they built their own twenty-five-foot ocean rowboat. They set out from Morocco and, tested by adverse currents, gales, and their own inexperience, accomplished the near impossible. Three years later, while they attempted to row across the Pacific, Curt was washed overboard and lost their sextant—their only means of navigation.... Views: 365
