Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebooks

Green J: The Kingsport Metamorphosis

The Kingsport Metamorphosis

An Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook

'This is one of the most gripping accounts of an era spanning war defeat, humiliation and failed revolution in 1918 to the violence, intimidation and propaganda of the Nazis' rise to power in 1933. It contains many lessons for the world now.' - John Kampfner, bestselling author of Why The Germans Do It Better 'Vertigo is outstanding. Harald Jähner's gift for illuminating the big picture with telling detail gives the reader an uncanny sense of what it was actually like to be present in Germany during the Weimar Republic. This is history at its very best.' - Julia Boyd, bestselling author of Travellers in the Third Reich Germany, 1918: a country in flux. The First World War is over, the nation defeated. Revolution is afoot, the monarchy has fallen and the victory of democracy beckons. Everything must change with the times. Out of the ashes of the First World War, Germany launches an unprecedented political project: its first democratic government. The Weimar Republic is established. The years that follow see political extremism, economic upheaval, revolutionary violence and the transformation of Germany. Tradition is shaken to its core as a triumphant procession of liberated lifestyles emerges. Women conquer the racetracks and tennis courts, go out alone in the evenings, cut their hair short and cast the idea of marriage aside. Unisex style comes into fashion, androgynous and experimental. People revel in the discovery of leisure, filling up boxing halls, dance palaces and the hotspots of the New Age, embracing the department stores' promise of happiness and accepting the streets as a place of fierce political battles. In this short burst of life between the wars, amidst a frenzy of change, comes a backlash from those who do not see themselves reflected in the new Republic. Little by little, deep divisions begin to emerge. Divisions that would bring devastating consequences, altering the course of the twentieth century and the lives of millions around the world. Vertigo is a vital, kaleidoscopic portrait of a pivotal moment in German history. Praise for Aftermath by Harald Jähner: 'Exemplary [and] important... This is the kind of book few writers possess the clarity of vision to write' - Max Hastings, Sunday Times 'A masterpiece' - Spectator 'Magnificent... There are great lessons in the nature of humanity to be learnt here' - Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph 'Jähner is masterly in telling the tragic, despicable, comedic and uplifting stories of those who were there' - Katja Hoyer, The Times 'Thought-provoking... Jähner's unflinching account is a reminder that historical truths are rarely simple and always nuanced' - Daily Mail 'A reminder that the German experience will always stand apart' - Economist

Celebrate a vital work of feminism with this limited run special edition featuring the original cover created by Virginia Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell, and the original text first published by The Hogarth Press. This book is among the greatest contributions to feminist literature of the past century - a brilliant attack on sexual inequality. A Room of One's Own is a witty, urbane and persuasive argument against the intellectual subjection of women, particularly women writers. The sequel, Three Guineas, is a passionate polemic which draws a startling comparison between the tyrannous hypocrisy of the Victorian patriarchal system and the evils of fascism. 'Brilliant interweaving of personal experience, imaginative musing and political clarity' Kate Mosse'Achingly relevant' Natasha Walter, GuardianWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HERMIONE LEE

An Introduction to Antonio Gramsci

Adolf Dietrich and Otto Dix both achieved success as representatives of New Objectivity. Different though their artistic work appears initially, as representatives of this movement they covered considerable common ground. Their points of contact can be found in gallery owners and artist friends, in museum collections and group exhibitions. After the National Socialists removed Dix from his professorship at Dresden Art Academy in 1933, he settled near the Swiss border, initially at Schloss Randegg and from 1936 onwards in Hemmenhofen. Separated by the Untersee, he and Dietrich then lived in close proximity. Both artists found motifs in the landscapes of the Lake Constance region. It is not known whether Dix and Dietrich ever visited each other, but each was certainly aware of the other. They probably meet for the first time in this publication. Look inside <ul> <li>First contrast and comparison of two important representatives of New Objectivity: cosmopolitan Otto Dix and outsider Adolf Dietrich </li> <li>Sharp contrasts and surprising affinities facilitate a fresh perspective on the work of the two artists; including never-before or rarely published works </li> <li>Exhibition: Museum zu Allerheiligen Schaffhausen, April 5th, to August 17th, 2025 </li></ul>

Otto Dix - Adolf Dietrich

All Joseph wants is to be let into Tartuffe's world. All Ettie wants is to escape it. The year is 1920. The place is a remote farmhouse in Provence, home to the reclusive painter Edouard Tartuffe and his niece, Ettie. Into this strange, silent house walks Joseph: a young journalist hoping to write an article about Tartuffe. But the more he entangles himself in the peculiar household, the more Joseph's curiosity grows . . . Ettie cooks and cleans for her uncle. She prepares his studio, scrubs his paintbrushes, and creates the perfect environment for him to work. She has never gone further than the local village. She is sharp-eyed and watchful. But beneath her cool exterior, Joseph senses something simmering. Ettie, Joseph and Tartuffe circle each other throughout the hot, crackling summer, until finally they collide. The Artist is about two people grabbing the other by the hand and pulling each other into life.

The Artist

This detailed study traces the history of the Soviet-Polish War (1919-20), the first major international clash between the forces of communism and anti-communism, and the impact this had on Soviet Russia in the years that followed. It reflects upon how the Bolsheviks fought not only to defend the fledgling Soviet state, but also to bring the revolution to Europe. Peter Whitewood shows that while the Red Army's rapid drive to the gates of Warsaw in summer 1920 raised great hopes for world revolution, the subsequent collapse of the offensive had a more striking result. The Soviet military and political leadership drew the mistaken conclusion that they had not been defeated by the Polish Army, but by the forces of the capitalist world - Britain and France - who were perceived as having directed the war behind-the-scenes. They were taken aback by the strength of the forces of counterrevolution and convinced they had been overcome by the capitalist powers. The Soviet-Polish War and its Legacy reveals that - in the aftermath of the catastrophe at Warsaw -Lenin, Stalin and other senior Bolsheviks were convinced that another war against Poland and its capitalist backers was inevitable with this perpetual fear of war shaping the evolution of the early Soviet state. It also further encouraged the creation of a centralised and repressive one-party state and provided a powerful rationale for the breakneck industrialisation of the Soviet Union at the end of the 1920s. The Soviet leadership's central preoccupation in the 1930s was Nazi Germany; this book convincingly argues that Bolshevik perceptions of Poland and the capitalist world in the decade before were given as much significance and were ultimately crucial to the rise of Stalinism.

Bold and experimental, Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway is a landmark in twentieth-century fiction and a book that gets better and better with every reading. On a perfect June morning, Clarissa Dalloway - fashionable, worldly, wealthy and an accomplished hostess - sets off to buy flowers for the party she will host that evening. She is preoccupied with thoughts of the present and memories of the past, and from her interior monologue emerge the people who have touched her life. On the same day, Septimus Warren Smith, a shell-shocked survivor of the Great War, dies by suicide, and casual mention of his death at the party provokes in Clarissa thoughts of her own isolation and loneliness. Parties and Passions, The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Great Gatsby are also available in this Macmillan Collector's Library series of gorgeous paperbacks featuring the greatest parties and the wildest passions in literature.
