With the help of a sage Japanese inspector and ingenious sleuthing from an unexpected source, everyone's favorite band of bears solves the mystery of the lost doll in a memorable romp through Japan." - from the rear outer jacket. "Beautiful, exotic Kyoto is the backdrop for the latest escapades of Ophelia B. Clise, the endearingly dotty and extravagant Parisian shop owner who won so many hearts in Ophelia's World. This time there's a mystery afoot - a mystery that will take Ophelia and her friends halfway around the world from her snug little shop on the Rue du Bac. It all begins when Yukiko, the exquisite Japanese doll Ophelia's friend Schnuffy has had made especially for her, disappears under suspicious circumstances. The bears lose no time organizing a rescue mission, and the search that ensues leads them from the wooden decks of the regal Japanese schooner Kabuki Maru, through the temples and teahouses of historic Kyoto, right to the very peak of Japan's revered Mount Fuji. Along for the hunt are all the lovable, singular characters who inhabit Ophelia's world: Ophelia's "dear friend" Clarence; her efficient partner Zenobia: shy Mona Lisa; Ricky Jaune, shop concierge; and, of course, M. Ritz, the shop watchmouse. In Japan we are introduced to a whole new cast of friends, including the venerable Inspector Takahashi Go of the Emperor's Imperial Prefecture; Mr. Ningyosan, whose superb dollmaking abilities may conceal a dark secret; Mr. Ito, a gentle dollmaker's tailor who befriends Yukiko; and stout Benkei, a wayward sumo wrestler who shadows the bears' footsteps. Ophelia's Voyage to Japan is a comical, high-speed adventure, filled with intrigue, romance, and fun that is sure to please Ophelia-lovers both young and old." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

[1st ed., 1st printing] ; 455 pages, illustrated, OCLC 253565910 218233060 ; green cloth with designs and lettering in black ; no dustjacket ; over 450 illustrations from the creator of Max und Moritz; with a biographical sketch ; Heinrich Christian Wilhelm Busch (14 April 1832 - 9 January 1908) was a German humorist, poet, illustrator, and painter. He published wildly innovative illustrated tales that remain influential to this day. Busch drew on the tropes of folk humour as well as a profound knowledge of German literature and art to satirize contemporary life, any kind of piety, Catholicism, Philistinism, religious morality, bigotry, and moral uplift. His mastery of drawing and verse became deeply influential for future generations of comic artists and vernacular poets.Today, the Wilhelm Busch Prize and the Wilhelm Busch Museum help maintain his legacy. The 175th anniversary of his birth in 2007 was celebrated throughout Germany. Busch remains one of the most influential poets and artists in Western Europe, being called the "Forefather of Comics".In 1853, after suffering heavily from typhus, and for five months spent time painting and collecting folk tales, legends, songs, ballads, rhymes, and fragments of regional superstitions. Busch tried to release the collections, but as a publisher could not be found at the time, they were issued after his death. During the Nazi era Busch was known as an "ethnic seer". He also spearheaded the 1862 Fairytale Maskenfest, a fairytale-themed masquerade ball attended by future king Ludwig II. He left Munich abruptly in 1881, after he disrupted a variety show and subsequently made a scene through the effects of alcohol. The 1878 nine episode illustrated tale Eight Sheets in the Wind describes how humans behave like animals when drunk. Busch's biographer Weissweiler felt the story was only superficially funny and harmless, but was a study on addiction and its induced state of delusion. Initially the sales of Max and Moritz were slow, but sales figures improved after the 1868 second edition. Overall there were 56 editions and more than 430,000 copies sold up to Busch's death in 1908. Despite at first being ignored by critics, teachers in the 1870s described Max and Moritz as frivolous and an undesirable influence on the moral development of young people. --Wikipedia; Max and Moritz were the Bart Simpsons of 19th century Germany. ; Hermann Nöldeke was the husband of Busch's sister Fanny.

This 1960 San Francisco volume commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Young China (??????), a youth-centered nationalist periodical and organization founded in 1910 amid the reformist and revolutionary currents leading to the fall of the Qing. Rooted in late?Qing and early Republican political culture, Young China promoted moral regeneration, national revival, and resistance to foreign domination, framing ?youth? as the ethical vanguard of China?s future. Its survival and rebirth in the overseas Chinese world reflect the continuity of this ideology beyond the mainland.In a Taiwanese and ?migr? context, the book is significant as a diasporic archive of Chinese republican memory, maintained abroad during periods of rupture on both the mainland and the island. Produced in a limited, non-commercial print run and distributed within overseas Chinese networks, thi slarge illustrated volume functions less as a celebratory souvenir than as an assertion of historical legitimacy and political lineage. An important document of how Taiwanese-linked ?migr? communities in 1960 understood themselves as custodians of a revolutionary tradition originating in 1910 and carried forward in exile.

"Ben Macintyre has established himself as the preeminent historian of the secret world, his work opening doors most of us didn't know were there. His books have set the gold standard for accurate historical reporting but read like heart-pounding thrillers." - Mick Herron, bestselling author. "A thrilling ticktock recounting of one of the most harrowing hostage crises and daring rescue attempts of our time - from true-life espoinage master and New York Times bestselling author Ben Macintyre. As the American hostage crisis in Iran boiled into its seventh month in the spring of 1980, six heavily armed gunmen barged into the Iranian embassy in London, taking twenty-six hostages. What followed over the next six days was an increasingly tense standoff, one that threatened at any moment to spill into a bloodbath. Policeman Trevor Lock was supposed to have gone to the theater that night. Instead he found himself overpowered and whisked into the embassy. His assailants never noticed the gun hidden in his jacket. The drama that ensued would force him to find reserves of courage he didn't know he had. The gunmen themselves were hardly one-dimensional - all Arabs, some highly educated, who hoped to force Britain to take their side in their independence battle against Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Behind the scenes lurked the brutal Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who had bankrolled the whole affair as a salvo against Iran. As police negotiators pressed the gunmen, rival protesters clashed violently outside the embassy, and as M16 and the CIA scrambled for intelligence, Britain's special forces strike team, the SAS, laid plans for a dangerous rescue mission. Inside, Lock and his fellow hostages used all the cunning they possessed to outwit and outflank their captors. Finally, on the sixth day, after the gunmen executed one of the hostages and dumped the body on the front doorstep, the SAS raid began, sparking a deadly high-stakes climax. A story of ordinary men and women under immense pressure, The Siege takes readers minute-by-thrilling-minute through an event that would echo across the next two decades and provide a direct historical link to the tragedy on 9/11. Drawing on exclusive interviews and a wealth of never-before-seen files, Macintyre brilliantly reconstructs a week in which...
