History

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

From the founder of the modern Norwegian crime novel, a story that will keep you thrilled and mystified. It is an evening in early May when the quiet of Montrose Abbey is shattered by the sounds of shouting and broken glass. When the police arrive, they find the abbey library ransacked and bloodstained. Broken furniture and a burning carpet bear witness to a violent struggle. And the abbot himself, the scholarly Abbot Montrose, is missing. Only a torn fragment of his cassock remains, caught in the wrought-iron fence surrounding the abbey. The police, the press, and citizens of this northern city fear the worst. What could have befallen the missing abbot? Has he been murdered? Abducted? As world-renowned Detective Asbjørn Krag and his partner, Detective Sirius Keller, begin to unravel the tangled knot of clues left behind, they find themselves in the city's infamous Krydder District, "where the dark doorways are as close together as rat holes in an old warehouse." The more answers they find, the more questions seem to pop up. This well-constructed, evocative and witty mystery by Sven Elvestead, also known as Stein Riverton (for whom the Norwegian Riverton Prize was named), will keep you guessing until the very last page. Sven Elvestad, aka Stein Riverton, was born in Fredrikshald, Norway, in 1884. Author of over 90 books, he is acclaimed as the father of Norwegian crime fiction. Even today, the Riverton Prize is awarded annually to the best Norwegian crime story.

Sven Elvestad (1884-1934) war ein norwegischer Journalist und Schriftsteller, der fast 100 Kriminalromane ver ffentlicht hat, bei denen der norwegische Ex-Polizist Asbj rn Krag als Privatdetektiv auftritt. Sven Elvestad ist Begr nder des norwegischen Kriminalromans. Aus dem Buch: "Asbj rn Krag betrachtete die schwarz gekleidete Dame, die an dem Tisch vor ihm sa . Sie geh rte scheinbar dem besseren Mittelstande an und machte sofort einen sehr guten Eindruck auf den Detektiv. Er hielt sie f r eine pensionierte Beamtenwitwe. Leute meiner Art, begann sie, leben am liebsten m glichst still und zur ckgezogen. Wenn ich mich trotzdem an die Polizei wende, begreifen Sie also, da mir etwas ganz Seltsames begegnet sein mu . Aber ich m chte doch vor allem darum bitten, da meine Name nicht mit der Angelegenheit in Verbindung gebracht wird."

A famous Norwegian detective. A master jewel thief who leaves no trace. Who will win the battle of wits that threatens to tear the city apart?\nWhen a series of audacious thefts take place in the city of Christiania (current-day Oslo), Detective Asbjørn Krag must deal with a master criminal who has his measure - or does he? From the dark brickyards on the city's outskirts to the bright lights of the Grand Hotel, Krag must use all his skill to turn the tables on the gang and their mysterious leader.\nSven Elvestad, who also wrote under the pseudonym Stein Riverton, was one of Norway's greatest crime writers. The New York Times described him as "the Edgar Allan Poe of Scandinavia." A journalist by training, he was the first foreign journalist to interview Adolf Hitler and was famous for stunts such as spending a day in a circus lion's cage. His first novel was published in 1907 and he went on to write nearly a hundred novels, many featuring detective Asbjørn Krag. Only a few of his works have ever been translated into English, despite enjoying widespread success across Europe and being translated into German, Danish, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Slovak, Czech, Finnish and Hungarian. Norway's yearly Riverton prize for the best crime novel is named after him.\nThis new edition features an introduction by Mitzi M. Brunsdale, author of the Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction.
