"Maria Antonieta embarks on an emotional journey, as she tells the story of her youngest daughter, who becomes the victim of one of the many threats teenagers live with, an abusive relationship with her boyfriend. Maria Antonieta narrates through the pages of her book, how all the advice and the traditional threats that parents are aware of, become useless when facing their most difficult adversary, a teenager. The Hispanic queen of self help takes us down a road seldom traveled, into the obscure world of adolescent problems, which range from rave parties and drug abuse, to video game addiction and sexual preferences.

Binding tight, pages clean & bright. GERMAN TEXT. "Kaiser is the German title meaning "Emperor", with Kaiserin being the female equivalent, "Empress". It is directly derived from the Latin Emperors' title of Caesar, which in turn is derived from the name of Julius Caesar. In English "the Kaiser" is usually reserved for the Emperors of the German Empire. Although the British monarchs styled "Emperor of India" were also called "Kaiser i Hind" in Hindi and Urdu, this word, although similar in form, has no direct relationship with German Kaiser." -- Wikipedia CONTENTS: Bildimpressionen Inhalt; Ein Wort Zuvor; Vom Erbe Karls des Grossen bis zum tragischen Ende Konradins; Scher ruht des Haupt, das eine Krone druckt; Der Krieg der Sohne gegen den Vater und die Ingarnschlacht; Krone und Tiara; Der Mann der Griechin; Ein deutscher Jungling; Der unheilige Heilige; Der Kampf der Titanen; Der Gang nach Canossa; Friedrich Barbossa, des Reiches Herrlichkeit; Heinrich VI. oder der Casarenwahn; Imperator, Gott und Antichrist; Anhang: Ubersichtskarten Zeittafel; Von Aachen bis Palermo; Bildnachweis -- Zitierte Literatur; Seite.

	HUYSMANS, J.K. La-Bas (Down There) Dover Publications, Inc. 1972. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Minor cover edge wear, pages toned, front hinge beginning to loosen. "LÃ -Bas (English: Down There or The Damned) is a novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans, first published in 1891. It is probably Huysmans' most famous work after Ã€ rebours. LÃ -Bas deals with the subject of Satanism in contemporary France and the novel stirred a certain amount of controversy on its first appearance. It is the first of Huysmans' books to feature the character Durtal, a thinly disguised portrait of the author himself, who would be the protagonist of all Huysmans' subsequent novels: En route, La cathÃ©drale and L'oblat. LÃ -Bas was first published in serial form by the newspaper L'Ã‰cho de Paris, with the first installment appearing on February 15, 1891. It came out in book form in April of the same year; the publisher was Tresse et Stock. Many of L'Ã‰cho de Paris' more conservative readers were shocked by the subject matter and urged the editor to halt the serialisation, but he ignored them. Sale of the book was prohibited from French railway stations. The plot of LÃ -Bas concerns the novelist Durtal, who is disgusted at the emptiness and vulgarity of the modern world. He seeks relief by turning to the study of the Middle Ages and begins to research the life of the notorious 15th-century child-murderer Gilles de Rais. Through his contacts in Paris, Durtal finds out that Satanism is not simply a thing of the past but alive in modern France. He embarks on an investigation of the occult underworld with the help of his lover Madame Chantelouve. The novel culminates with a description of a black mass." -- Wikipedia.

	KLIUCHEVSKY, VASILY OSIPOVICH [KLIUCHEVSKII, VASILII] Kurs Russkoi Istorii [a Course in Russian History Complete Nine [9] Volume Set in the Original Russian] Moskva, 1987. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. All volumes in very good condition. Bindings tight, pages clean, bright, & unmarked. Nine volume hardcover set, 4011 pages total. RUSSIAN TEXT. Original dark olive hardcover binding with gold & black lettering, decorative endpapers. "Vasily Osipovich Klyuchevsky dominated Russian historiography at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. He is still regarded as one of three most reputable Russian historians, alongside Nikolay Karamzin and Sergey Solovyov. A village priest's son, Klyuchevsky, of Mordvinian ethnicity, studied in the Moscow University under Sergey Solovyov, to whose chair he succeeded in 1879. His first important publications were an article on economic activities of the Solovetsky Monastery near the old Russian town of Belozersk (1867) and a thesis on medieval Russian hagiography (1871). Kluchevsky was the first historian to shift attention from political and social issues to geographical and economical forces and agencies. He was particularly interested in the process of Russian peaceful colonisation of Europe, Siberia, and Far East. In 1882, he published his landmark study of the Boyar Duma, whereby he asserted his view of state as a result of collaboration of diverse classes of society. In 1889, Klyuchevsky was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences. Although his lectures were highly popular, he published but a handful of biographies of 'representative men', including Andrei Kurbsky, Afanasy Ordin-Nashchokin, Feodor Rtishchev, Vasily Galitzine, and Nikolay Novikov. The last decade of his life was spent preparing the printed version of his lectures. He also became interested in politics, and joined the Constitutional Democratic party." -- Wikipedia.

	COLLINS, MARIA ANTONIETA Cuando El Monstruo Despierta: Confesiones de Padres de Adolescentes Grijalbo, 2003. Trade Paperback. Like New. Sticker on back cover. Binding tight, pages clean & bright. SPANISH TEXT. "Maria Antonieta embarks on an emotional journey, as she tells the story of her youngest daughter, who becomes the victim of one of the many threats teenagers live with, an abusive relationship with her boyfriend. Maria Antonieta narrates through the pages of her book, how all the advice and the traditional threats that parents are aware of, become useless when facing their most difficult adversary, a teenager. The Hispanic queen of self help takes us down a road seldom traveled, into the obscure world of adolescent problems, which range from rave parties and drug abuse, to video game addiction and sexual preferences. This book is more than a guide, it's a wake up call to help parents identify possible problems, it's a helping hand to guide them in their efforts to educate and encourage teens to value themselves, their families and their future."

Binding tight, pages clean & bright. GERMAN TEXT. "Kaiser is the German title meaning "Emperor", with Kaiserin being the female equivalent, "Empress". It is directly derived from the Latin Emperors' title of Caesar, which in turn is derived from the name of Julius Caesar. In English "the Kaiser" is usually reserved for the Emperors of the German Empire. Although the British monarchs styled "Emperor of India" were also called "Kaiser i Hind" in Hindi and Urdu, this word, although similar in form, has no direct relationship with German Kaiser." -- Wikipedia CONTENTS: Bildimpressionen Inhalt; Ein Wort Zuvor; Vom Erbe Karls des Grossen bis zum tragischen Ende Konradins; Scher ruht des Haupt, das eine Krone druckt; Der Krieg der Sohne gegen den Vater und die Ingarnschlacht; Krone und Tiara; Der Mann der Griechin; Ein deutscher Jungling; Der unheilige Heilige; Der Kampf der Titanen; Der Gang nach Canossa; Friedrich Barbossa, des Reiches Herrlichkeit; Heinrich VI. oder der Casarenwahn; Imperator, Gott und Antichrist; Anhang: Ubersichtskarten Zeittafel; Von Aachen bis Palermo; Bildnachweis -- Zitierte Literatur; Seite.

	HUYSMANS, J.K. La-Bas (Down There) Dover Publications, Inc. 1972. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Minor cover edge wear, pages toned, front hinge beginning to loosen. "LÃ -Bas (English: Down There or The Damned) is a novel by the French writer Joris-Karl Huysmans, first published in 1891. It is probably Huysmans' most famous work after Ã€ rebours. LÃ -Bas deals with the subject of Satanism in contemporary France and the novel stirred a certain amount of controversy on its first appearance. It is the first of Huysmans' books to feature the character Durtal, a thinly disguised portrait of the author himself, who would be the protagonist of all Huysmans' subsequent novels: En route, La cathÃ©drale and L'oblat. LÃ -Bas was first published in serial form by the newspaper L'Ã‰cho de Paris, with the first installment appearing on February 15, 1891. It came out in book form in April of the same year; the publisher was Tresse et Stock. Many of L'Ã‰cho de Paris' more conservative readers were shocked by the subject matter and urged the editor to halt the serialisation, but he ignored them. Sale of the book was prohibited from French railway stations. The plot of LÃ -Bas concerns the novelist Durtal, who is disgusted at the emptiness and vulgarity of the modern world. He seeks relief by turning to the study of the Middle Ages and begins to research the life of the notorious 15th-century child-murderer Gilles de Rais. Through his contacts in Paris, Durtal finds out that Satanism is not simply a thing of the past but alive in modern France. He embarks on an investigation of the occult underworld with the help of his lover Madame Chantelouve. The novel culminates with a description of a black mass." -- Wikipedia.

	KLIUCHEVSKY, VASILY OSIPOVICH [KLIUCHEVSKII, VASILII] Kurs Russkoi Istorii [a Course in Russian History Complete Nine [9] Volume Set in the Original Russian] Moskva, 1987. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. All volumes in very good condition. Bindings tight, pages clean, bright, & unmarked. Nine volume hardcover set, 4011 pages total. RUSSIAN TEXT. Original dark olive hardcover binding with gold & black lettering, decorative endpapers. "Vasily Osipovich Klyuchevsky dominated Russian historiography at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. He is still regarded as one of three most reputable Russian historians, alongside Nikolay Karamzin and Sergey Solovyov. A village priest's son, Klyuchevsky, of Mordvinian ethnicity, studied in the Moscow University under Sergey Solovyov, to whose chair he succeeded in 1879. His first important publications were an article on economic activities of the Solovetsky Monastery near the old Russian town of Belozersk (1867) and a thesis on medieval Russian hagiography (1871). Kluchevsky was the first historian to shift attention from political and social issues to geographical and economical forces and agencies. He was particularly interested in the process of Russian peaceful colonisation of Europe, Siberia, and Far East. In 1882, he published his landmark study of the Boyar Duma, whereby he asserted his view of state as a result of collaboration of diverse classes of society. In 1889, Klyuchevsky was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences. Although his lectures were highly popular, he published but a handful of biographies of 'representative men', including Andrei Kurbsky, Afanasy Ordin-Nashchokin, Feodor Rtishchev, Vasily Galitzine, and Nikolay Novikov. The last decade of his life was spent preparing the printed version of his lectures. He also became interested in politics, and joined the Constitutional Democratic party." -- Wikipedia.
