    What happened to Anastasia's sister Maria?1918: Pretty, vivacious Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia, the nineteen-year-old daughter of the fallen Tsar Nicholas II, lives with her family in suffocating isolation, a far cry from their once-glittering royal household. Her days are a combination of endless boredom and paralyzing fear; her only respite are clandestine flirtations with a few of the guards imprisoning the family?and she never realizes her innocent actions could mean the difference between life and death.1973: When Val Doyle hears her father's end-of-life confession, ?I didn't want to kill her,? she's stunned. So she begins a search for the truth?about his words and her past. The clues she discovers are baffling?a jewel-encrusted box that won't open and a camera with its film intact. What she finds out pulls Val into one of the world's greatest mysteries: What truly happened to Grand Duchess Maria?

    This early work by Ford Madox Ford was originally published in 1925 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. This is part two of Ford's hugely successful Parade's End tetralogy that has now been adapted into a BBC television drama. Ford Madox Ford was born Ford Madox Hueffer in Merton, Surrey, England on 17th December 1873. The creative arts ran in his family - Hueffer's grandfather, Ford Madox Brown, was a well-known painter, and his German émigré father was music critic of The Times - and after a brief dalliance with music composition, the young Hueffer began to write. Although Hueffer never attended university, during his early twenties he moved through many intellectual circles, and would later talk of the influence that the "Middle Victorian, tumultuously bearded Great" - men such as John Ruskin and Thomas Carlyle - exerted on him. In 1908, Hueffer founded the English Review, and over the next 15 months published Thomas Hardy, H. G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, John Galsworthy and W. B. Yeats, and gave débuts to many authors, including D. H. Lawrence and Norman Douglas. Hueffer's editorship consolidated the classic canon of early modernist literature, and saw him earn a reputation as of one of the century's greatest literary editors. Ford continued to write through the thirties, producing fiction, non-fiction, and two volumes of autobiography: Return to Yesterday (1931) and It was the Nightingale (1933). In his last years, he taught literature at the Olivet College in Michigan. Ford died on 26th June 1939 in Deauville, France, at the age of 65.

    Considered by many the greatest war novel of all time, All Quiet on the Western Front is Erich Maria Remarque's masterpiece of the German experience during World War I.I am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. . . .This is the testament of Paul Bäumer, who enlists with his classmates in the German army during World War I. They become soldiers with youthful enthusiasm. But the world of duty, culture, and progress they had been taught breaks in pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches.Through years of vivid horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against one another . . . if only he can come out of the war alive."The world has a great writer in Erich Maria Remarque. He is a craftsman of unquestionably first rank, a man who can bend language to his will. Whether he writes of men or of inanimate nature, his touch is sensitive, firm, and sure."-The New York Times Book Review

    Messias fra 1918 er muligvis den mest ambitiøse knaldroman nogensinde i dansk litteratur. En okkult og eventyrlig antikrigsroman med science-fiction- og skræk-elementer, skrevet under og omhandlende 1. verdenskrig! Den er et kig ind i vanviddet i en tid, hvor filmen var stum, musikken klassisk, og kunsten og videnskaben på vej til at forandre al normalforståelse.Romanen følger den omflakkende maler Stefan Maryko, der tilfældigt ankommer til byen Tronhof, et ukendt sted dybt i Europas hjerteland. En gådefuld stjerne hænger over den lille bjergby som et lysende forvarsel om kommende ulykker. På byens sindssygehospital hersker Wladimir Neschelko, Marykos tidligere studiekammerat, men han er lige så gal som sine patienter. Samtidig foretager den indespærrede franske videnskabsmand Giffard — som tror, han er Messias, Guds søn — sine revolutionerende elektriske eksperimenter, mens den krigslystne russiske zar sender sine spioner af sted for at lære hans hemmeligheder at kende. Midt i det hele forelsker Stefan Maryko sig i den mystiske Urana, som er fanget i et magtspil, der kan resultere i hele menneskehedens udslettelse.Laurids Skands (1885-1934) var en af sin samtids mest produktive filmmanuskriptforfattere med særlige evner for at tilpasse litterære forlæg til det nye medie. Samtidig fungerede han som filmkonsulent, instruktør, skuespiller og redaktør på det kortlivede tidsskrift Pan. Han udgav uden den store succes to romaner samt en novellesamling, hvorfra de to mesterlige skræknoveller “Golgatha-studien” og “Menneskekød” dog vakte stor begejstring og fornyet interesse for forfatterskabet, da de i 2019 blev genudgivet i antologien Menneskekød: Grotesker 1910-1920.GULE ROSER er en ny serie fra Forlaget Escho der fokuserer på kulørt litteratur. Fra skrækromaner, elskovsromaner og kriminalromaner til eventyr fra perioden 1900-1945. Alt hvad den samtidige Georg Brandes og kredsen omkring ham ville have anset som pinligt at læse. Det er bemærkelsesværdigt hvor lidt opmærksomhed dansk litteratur af den kulørte slags har fået igennem tiden. Én forklaring er at det meste af den kulørte litteratur virkelig vardårlig. Mange af teksterne var uoriginale metervarer sprøjtet ud for at tjene nemme penge i en medietid hvor filmen var stum, musik kun klassisk og litteraturen derfor var dominerende og mangfoldig. Men, og her kommer det store MEN, der er så vigtigt. At 99% af den kulørte litteratur var noget lort, skal ikke ligge den sidste 1% til last.

Kathrine dør under en fødsel, men barnet overlever takket være nabodatteren Marja, der netop har født en søn og ammer begge børn. Angus slår sig på flasken, men Marja, hvis mand er død, forsøger at hjælpe. I kulissen venter den smukke, men egenrådige grevinde Nadja.Hvordan det går, følger i "Midgårdsormen i Sibirien“. Men det bliver ikke uden dramatik, da de alle bliver hvirvlet ind i revolutionen i 1905 og den efterfølgende japansk-russiske krig. På nærmeste hold mærker de også følgerne af 1. verdenskrig, den russiske revolution 1917 og den efterfølgende blodige borgerkrig.I bogens afsluttende kapitel følger vi hovedpersonerne og deres videre skæbne helt frem til vor tid.

De historiske begivenheder og personer er korrekt beskrevet i bogen.Uddrag af bogenKápka lå grædende i halmen, mens to unge mænd forsøgte at flå tøjet af hende. Den ene var allerede ved at løsne sine benklæder og var ved at kravle hen over den ulykkelige pige.Pludselig kom et stort mørkt uhyre farende gennem stalden. Det var Misha, bjørnen. Med den ene pote slog den ud efter den ene af mændene, så han tumlede omkuld.Den anden, som lå oven på Kápka med bukserne nede om haserne, forsøgte at komme op at stå, men blev ramt af den rasende bjørns store lab, så blodet sprang. Hans kammerat fik halet en gammel tromlerevolver frem fra bæltet. Et skud rungede i stalden. Bjørnen gik et skridt tilbage, ramt af projektilet, men bevarede balancen og gik igen til angreb. I desperation tømte manden tromlen mod bjørnen, som nåede at ramme ham i ansigtet. En af bjørnens skarpe kløer flænsede hans ene øje ud.Manden tabte revolveren og tog sig til ansigtet, idet han skreg af smerte.Om forfatterenThorkild Sandbeck har flere uddannelser bag sig.
