Apaches : A History and Culture Portrait (9780806129785)



Apaches: A History and Culture Portrait, James L. Haley's dramatic saga of the Apaches' doomed guerrilla war against the whites, was a radical departure from the method followed by previous histories of white-native conflict. Arguing that "you cannot understand the history unless you understand the culture, " Haley first discusses the "life-way" of the Apaches - their mythology and folklore (including the famous Coyote series), religious customs, everyday life, and social mores. Haley then explores the tumultuous decades of trade and treaty and of betrayal and bloodshed that preceded the Apaches' final military defeat in 1886. He emphasizes figures who played a decisive role in the conflict; Mangas Coloradas, Cochise, and Geronimo on the one hand, and Royal Whitman, George Crook, and John Clum on the other. With a new preface that places the book in the context of contemporary scholarship, Apaches is a well-rounded one-volume overview of Apache history and culture.

John Martin was a pioneer of Clark County, Kentucky, where he lived on Lower Howard's Creek. John had been a blacksmith in Goochland County, Virginia, where he married Rachel Pace. He owned a small farm there before moving to Ballenger Creek in what is now Fluvanna County. John and Rachel were the parents of thirteen children.

Antologie 12 povídek sestavená k 20. výročí založení projektu Lilja's Library, největší internetové stránky věnované zpravodajství o životě a díle Stephena Kinga. Švédský publicista Hans-Ake Lilja zde po několika desítkách let od prvního vydání uvádí raritní Kingovu povídku Modrý kompresor, která se neobjevila v žádné sbírce tohoto slavného autora, a k ní přidává pestrou směsici vesměs temně laděných povídek od autorů, jako jsou Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, Stewart O'Nan nebo Jack Ketchum (zde ve spolupráci s P. D. Cacekovou). Výbor je korunován zbrusu novou novelou Johna Ajvida Lindqvista. Vyjma klasického mrazivého příběhu Zrádné srdce z pera E. A. Poea mají všechny povídky v této knize českou premiéru.
