Amo, Amas, Amat ... and All That - Harry Mount - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Amo, Amas, Amat ... and All That - Harry Mount - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

"If you know someone who missed out on Latin at school and wants to live a happier life, you could do no better than give them Harry Mount''s entertainingly educative Latin primer." Daily Mail " Amo, Amas, Amat is a diverting meander and Mount''s love of Latin shines out on every page." The Spectator "Latin without the pain." Guardian "If you studied Latin at school this will bring back fond memories, but even newcomers will be captivated by this witty and entertaining book..." Yorkshire Evening Post Have you ever found yourself irritated when a sine qua non or a mea culpa is thrown into the conversation by a particularly annoying person? Or do distant memories of afternoons spent struggling to learn obscure verbs fill you with dread? Never fear! Or, as a Latin show-off might say, Nil desperandum! Those endless afternoons where you struggled to remember the third person singular present indicative of volo (vult) may be a long time ago. But, if you have the vaguest memory of the ablative absolute, the locative and the gerund, you mastery of Latin will spring back to life with Amo, amas, amat...and all that. In his trip through the world''s most influential language, Harry Mount uncorks its magic, drawing on Latin lovers from Kingsley Amis to John Cleese, from Evelyn Waugh to Donna Tart. Read this book and you will know Latin. Know Latin and - mirabile dictu - you will know Wilfred Owen''s misery, Catullus''s aching heart and the comedy of a thousand bachelor schoolmasters.

Mind the Gap - Ferdinand Mount - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

Mind the Gap - Ferdinand Mount - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

''A rollicking account of the class divide in 21st-century Britain.'' - Simon Jenkins, The Sunday Times In this provocative and ruthlessly frank book, Ferdinand Mount argues that there is a new class divide in Britain which is just as vicious and hard to get rid of as the old one. Through acute observation and vivid illustration - drawing on every aspect of life from soap operas, speech patterns and gardening to education and the distribution of wealth - he demolishes the illusion that we live in a classless society and shows how the worst-off in Britain today are more culturally deprived than their parents or grandparents.The author''s solutions, like his explanations of what has gone wrong, are original, surprising and unsparing to intellectuals and politicians of all parties.

Three Days In June - James O'connell - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

*** ''If you only read one book about the Falklands make sure it''s this one.'' - Soldier magazine ''An extraordinarily detailed account of the bloodiest battle of the Falklands war.'' - Major General Jonathan Shaw CB CBEWhen 3 Para began their assault under cover of darkness on Mount Longdon in June 1982, nobody knew what to expect. The three platoons of B Company each approached the mountain silently, treading carefully through a series of defensive minefields. But following an explosion, fighting quickly escalated with shocking speed and severity, resulting in some of the bloodiest close hand fighting, terrible injuries, and shocking loss of life experienced by British troops since the Korean war. Recreating 3 Para''s bloody Falklands battle from multiple angles, James O''Connell - who fought there and was seriously injured himself - has written a gut-wrenching 360 degree classic.Frustrated by highly inaccurate books about the battle, O''Connell decided to set the record straight. What he did next was extraordinary - he revisited the Falkland''s five times with comrades and Argentine soldiers and literally walked through the battle with them, step-by-step, creating an unprecedented masterpiece of immersive military publishing.Combined with rare access to the Battalion''s records and radio logs, the resulting book is the last word on Mount Longdon, and might be the most harrowingly realistic description of modern warfare you will ever read.
