Agatha Christie`s personal memoirs about her travels to Syria & Iraq in the 1930s with her archaeologist husband Max Mallowan, where she worked on the digs & wrote some of her most evocative novels. Think you know Agatha Christie? Think again! To the world she was Agatha Christie, legendary author of bestselling whodunits. But in the 1930s she wore a different hat, travelling with her husb&, renowned archaeologist Max Mallowan, as he investigated the buried ruins & ancient wonders of Syria & Iraq. When friends asked what this strange `other life` was like, she decided to answer their questions by writing down her adventures in this eye-opening book. Described by the author as a `meandering chronicle of life on an archaeological dig`, Come, Tell Me How You Live is Agatha Christie`s very personal memoir of her time spent in this breathtaking corner of the globe, living among the working men in tents in the desert where recorded human history began. Acclaimed as `a pure pleasure to read`, it is an altogether remarkable & increasingly poignant narrative, a fascinating, vibrant & vivid portrait of everyday life in a world now long since vanished. ...

Icelandic literary culture was one of the richest & most important in the medieval world. Texts that were written in Iceland during this period include ” Njal`s Saga”, ” Egil`s Saga”, ” The Vinland Sagas”, as well as the ” Comic Sagas & Tales” collected in this volume. ” Comic Sagas & Tales” brings together the finest comic stories from medieval Icel&. With feuding families & moments of grotesque violence, the sagas see such classic mythological figures as murdered fathers, disguised beggars, corrupt chieftains & avenging sons do battle with axes, words & cunning. The tales, meanwhile, follow heroes & comical fools through dreams, voyages & religious conversions in Iceland & beyond. Shaped by Iceland`s oral culture & their conversion to Christianity, these stories are works of ironic humour & stylistic innovation. In the introduction to these new translations, Vidar Hreinsson examines how the stories satirised old-style sagas while exploiting their classic themes of quests & revenge. This edition also

Includes::
a map, glossary, index of characters, suggested further reading & notes.

It reveals life`s (often avoidable) daily perils such as the woman who poisoned her dinner guests, then died, having forgotten she`d used the same saucepan just days before to boil arsenic for the purpose of eradicating vermin (1830), & a drunk carter in charge of a ton of gunpowder on his horse-drawn cart, found careering through wet, slippery streets, while also carrying a number of ” Lucifer” matches (1875). Scandal & gossip also highlight social mores of the times
- stories include opening Empress Maria Theresa`s body to find death ”due to a great quantity of fat & viscous matter, Her Majesty having accustomed herself never to spit” (1781), a marriage between a corpse & his living Spiritualist bride (1856), & the formation of the ” No-Nose Club” for people with no noses due to syphilis (1873). The author has also (possibly) discovered the man to blame for the adding of service charges to bills (1768), as well as (possibly) the most pretentious, pseudo-intellectual description of Tennyson`s death: ” Soft beams of light played upon the features of the dying poet like a halo of Rembrandt`s” (1892).

It may come as a surprise that comics offer much more than meets the eye. Of course we all have happy memories of favourite childhood reading (Beano, Dandy, Eagle, Mad, Viz
- the list is endless). But how aware are we that there is something inherently anarchic about comics? A huge variety have been produced over the centuries by British creators. It is a strong tradition that continues today. Some of the biggest names in comics
- Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta), Neil Gaiman (Sandman), Mark Millar (Kick-Ass) & Grant Morrison (Batman: Arkham Asylum)
- are featured in this visually stimulating book (which accompanies a major exhibition at the British Library). But there are many, many more. & it is the diversity of content & form, as well as comics` ongoing relevance, which is a main focus. The seditious aspects of the comics tradition
- adult, underground & `alternative` material
- is highlighted, alongside the superheroes who still dominate the scene. There is anarchy everywhere that you look!
