A few other things were going on as well; tectonic shifts of the American Landscape rumbled below. The characters in Nineveh find themselves neck deep in a whole lot of other. Set principally in the summers of '69 -'71, with an epilogue set an indeterminate time after the conclusion of the main story, Nineveh portends the future by bringing the past back for a visit. Stylistically, the novel presents as late 20th Century American hewing to traditional conventions of structure. Dialogue is the preferred medium for bringing the characters and story to the reader. A large Nineteenth Century summer house on fictional Lake Nineveh is the principal setting, and the bucolic resort hamlets and one-factory towns are about to be subsumed by the wave of development bearing down on their way of life. Locals deliver large characters brimming with personality but disgruntled as thoroughly modern Babbits invade the environs. As new pharmacies of fun sprang up, those so inclined seized the moment. Erik Frinjuhr's group of hale fellows better not met incline and indulge. Romps and parties and the emergent recreational drug market before Big Brother had lightened up are captured in sense-around prose and dialogue inviting vicarious participation. As usual, the young women are a step ahead in gaming the changing rules of the war of the sexes. Their varying strategic approaches to achieving romantic goals unfold with Machiavellian charm and weaponized caresses. Written in 1982 on a manual Smith Corona typewriter, the substance of the original manuscript has been maintained through periodic edits, the last of which brought the novel to publication in its present form. The author's early childhood was spent in Minneapolis. He moved with his family to Lake Minnetonka west of the Twin Cities in the '60's. The author attended and graduated from the public schools of Mound, Minnesota, and is a graduate of Macalester College in St. Paul, and the University of Minnesota Law School. He resides in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49693502439697,"sku":"DVDB003Q7B72YVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53427627294993,"sku":"CINB003Q7B72YG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B003Q7B72Y.jpg?v=1751002433"},{"product_id":"icarly-season-4-dvd-0097368916647","title":"iCarly: Season 4","description":"\u003cp\u003e Locked in his dark cell, Greg lay awake in bed, fidgeting with the small cassette recorder, pressing the rewind and stop buttons to listen to the heavy click and spring-loaded clank that initiated and punctuated the faint whirring mechanics. He knew well enough no one was going to come looking for him--not while he was in between jobs, living in a four-door pickup truck, and had traveled to an undisclosed location without telling anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat brought him here were rumors of an abandoned building there that was said to be part of a black site--rumors that were circulated amongst truckers and drifters: some exaggerated the sinister aspect of the place, detailing with morbid relish the methods of enhanced interrogation that were being developed or deployed there, while others assumed the contrarian position and downplayed the horrors, if not downright dismissed the whole story as hyperbole.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eQuestionable as the lead was, the story seemed too good for an amateur journalist like Greg to pass up. All the same, he did not expect there would be some truth to those rumors, that the building is not quite derelict as he had imagined. And that, thanks to a case of mistaken identity, he was now incarcerated there as an inmate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGreg stopped the rewinding mechanism when he detected rustling and soft thumps coming through the ceiling vent--or thought he did, since the quirky nature of unidentified noise is that they usually cease whenever one stops to listen to them. Like a living body, no running building is without its small, unaccountable bumps and muffled clanks; yet even if they're mostly benign noise, at night, they're magnified by the ever-present hush, and their unfamiliarity never fails to inflame the imagination of the sleepless newcomer. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLESATH is a psychological horror novel that pays tribute to gothic fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49701347557649,"sku":"DVDB007V973TOVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B007V973TO.jpg?v=1750937618"},{"product_id":"the-intruders-dvd-0043396452329","title":"The Intruders","description":"In 129 articles and three volumes, \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Encyclopedia of Mexican History and Culture\u003c\/em\u003e provides a compendium of the best available scholarship on the nation's rich history and culture. An international group of leading authors, including well-known Mexican scholars, reveals new or little-known dimensions of this past or confirms with new sources previous interpretations of the Mexican experience. Themes include the expected topics of politics and economics, combined with powerful articles on biography, environment, gender, and culture, including music, art, and cinema. Unique to this volume are the essays on digital sources, such as digitized archives and photographic collections, with information on accessing and using them for historical research. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArticles add to topical considerations such as gender and ethnicity, place Mexico into wider dimensions such as the Atlantic World and the Pacific Rim, and offer conclusions on natural phenomena such as flora (yielding pulque) and volcanic eruptions (in a farmer's corn patch). Authors enlighten readers with assessments of Spanish-Aztec warfare, indigenous mastery of the Spanish legal system to bend it to their purposes, songs prohibited by the Inquisition, and more than one hundred other fascinating aspects of the nation's history. Coverage of individuals includes widely known figures such as the monumental Benito Ju rez, the hero and traitor Antonio L pez de Santa Anna, Porfirio D az, and L zaro C rdenas, as well as several outstanding women whose contributions have helped shape Mexican culture and politics. The Tlatelolco massacre of demonstrators in 1968 receives careful assessment and other essays examine the changing popular and political attitudes that followed. The tragedy ushered in events that created Mexico's electoral democracy confirmed in the 2000 presidential election. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in clear explanatory prose and incorporating the latest research, the encyclopedia's articles offer a marvelous narrative that will be of use to scholars, students, and the general reader.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49787292909841,"sku":"DVDB00RLK36FIVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53577416704273,"sku":"CINB00RLK36FIG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B00RLK36FI.jpg?v=1750905789"},{"product_id":"miranda-cosgrove-icarly-cd-0886973785423","title":"Miranda Cosgrove - iCarly","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50284280316177,"sku":"DVDB001G6RRASVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B001G6RRAS.jpg?v=1750809812"},{"product_id":"sparks-fly-cd-0886973104927","title":"Sparks Fly","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50541886963985,"sku":"DVDB003BOUKQ6VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53504131891473,"sku":"CINB003BOUKQ6G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B003BOUKQ6.jpg?v=1750777187"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/fr-fr\/collections\/auteur-livres-de-miranda-cosgrove.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
