Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Die kleine Vorortsiedlung in den Midlands, von den Autoren »Winston Parva« genannt, ähnelt mit ihren rund 5000 Einwohnern unzähligen anderen Gemeinden in England. Es ist eine der typischen Arbeitersiedlungen der europäischen Industriereviere, in denen die traditionellen, die »dörflichen« Sozialstrukturen überlebten: enge Nachbarschaft, soziale Kontrolle und gegenseitige Solidarität. Die scheinbare Harmonie wird erst Ende der dreißiger Jahre zerstört, als jenseits der Bahnlinie ein neuer Ortsteil aus dem Boden gestampft wird. Die neuen Häuser beziehen vor allem Arbeiter aus anderen Regionen Englands und später Evakuierte aus dem zerbombten London. Obwohl ihre Bewohner in den gleichen Betrieben arbeiten, wachsen die beiden Ortsteile nicht zusammen. Die Neusiedler bleiben stets die Außenseiter, stigmatisiert und fremd. Unter den alten Bewohnern gelten sie als unsozial, kriminell, triebhaft. Hier nun setzt die Untersuchung ein.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Hazrat Inayat Khan was born in Baroda, India, in 1882, into a family of classical musicians. Initiated in the four major streams of Indian Sufism, he was sent to the West by his teacher, Abu Hashim Madani Chishti, 'to harmonize East and West' with his music. Inayat Khan left India in 1910 and for sixteen years he lived and taught in Europe and America, bringing a message of love, harmony and beauty that was both the quintessence of Sufi teaching and a revolutionary new approach to the harmonizing of western and eastern spirituality. He established a school of spiritual training based upon traditional Sufi teachings infused with the vision of the unity of religious ideals and the awakening of humanity to the divinity within. Inayat Khan died in India in 1927, leaving a significant body of recorded discourse and instruction on all things pertaining to spiritual ideals in the midst of life in the world.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - From the author of 'Crash' and 'Cocaine Nights' comes an unnerving tale of life in a modern tower block running out of control. Within the concealing walls of an elegant forty-storey tower block, the affluent tenants are hell-bent on an orgy of destruction. Cocktail parties degenerate into marauding attacks on 'enemy' floors and the once-luxurious amenities become an arena for riots and technological mayhem. In this visionary tale of urban disillusionment society slips into a violent reverse as the isolated inhabitants of the high-rise, driven by primal urges, create a dystopian world ruled by the laws of the jungle. This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballard's works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including Iain Sinclair, Ali Smith, Neil Gaiman and Martin Amis) and brand-new cover designs.

'A page-turner, as compelling and evocative as the finest novel. The best book on prison I've ever read.'-Jonathan Kellerman The most dreaded facility in the prison system because of its fierce population, Leavenworth is governed by ruthless clans competing for dominance. Among the 'star' players in these pages: Carl Cletus Bowles, the sexual predator with a talent for murder; Dallas Scott, a gang member who has spent almost thirty of his forty-two years behind bars; indomitable Warden Robert Matthews, who put his shoulder against his prison's grim reality; Thomas Silverstein, a sociopath confined in 'no human contact' status since 1983; 'tough cop' guard Eddie Geouge, the only officer in the penitentiary with the authority to sentence an inmate to 'the Hole'; and William Post, a bank robber with a criminal record going back to when he was eight years old-and known as the 'Catman' for his devoted care of the cats who live inside the prison walls. Pete Earley, celebrated reporter and author of Family of Spies, all but lived for nearly two years inside the primordial world of Leavenworth, where he conducted hundreds of interviews. Out of this unique, extraordinary access comes the riveting story of what life is actually like in the oldest maximum-security prison in the country.
