Widerborstig sind bei Robby nicht nur die Haare, sondern auch sein ganzes Verhalten. Ausdruck jugendlicher Minderwertigkeitsgefühle, gegen die er sich verzweifelt wehrt. Und da sein Vater als Radrennfahrer eine kleine Karriere gemacht hat, ist es naheliegend, daß Robby ebenfalls als Radrennfahrer Bestätigung zu finden hofft. Von der Geschwindigkeit erwartet er sich: die Loslösung aus dem Alltag, das Hinüberspringen aus dem Gewöhnlichen in eine freie Existenz. Doch wenn man den Rausch der immer größeren Geschwindigkeit benötigt, muß man auf schnellere Gefährte umsteigen. Motorräder und frisierte Autos aber kosten Geld, das sich Robby durch kleine Gaunereien zu verschaffen sucht. So verwundert es nicht, daß er eines Nachts eine Polizeisperre durchbricht und in der anschließenden Verfolgungsjagd mit höchster Geschwindigkeit gegen einen Baum rast. Mit der Rekonstruktion des Leidenswegs eines jungen Niederländers ist van der Heijden ein eindrucksvolles Jugendpsychogramm gelungen.

This edited volume provides new readings of the life and career of iconic actress Vivien Leigh (1913-67), written by experts from theatre and film studies and curators from the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The collection uses newly accessible family archives to explore the intensely complex relationship between Vivien Leigh's approach to the craft of acting for stage and screen, and how she shaped, developed and projected her public persona as one of the most talked about and photographed actresses of her era. With key contributors from the UK, France and the US, chapters range from analyses of her work on stage and screen to her collaborations with designers and photographers, an analysis of her fan base, her interior designs and the 'public ownership' of Leigh's celebrity status during her lifetime and beyond.
Legendary heroes battle the undead and dark sorcery, in the first of a rip-roaring new series for the fan-favorite epic fantasy game, Descent: Journeys in the Dark When the Baroness of Forthyn’s daughter disappears, she calls on the legendary orc hero, Durik, to find her. Durik enlists his old questing partners – the dwarf alchemist, Ulma Grimstone, and roguish Logan Lashley – in the hopes of reliving their glory days. Together they journey to fearstruck Fallowhearth. There, instead of clues, they uncover necromancy: graveyards emptied of corpses, with trails of footprints leading into sinister Blind Muir Forest… But the forest holds more than just the walking dead: between its boughs lurk treachery, a sorcerous ally turned to darkness, and a shocking infestation of giant, murderous monsters.
“Inspired by the story of Secundus the Silent Philosopher and the twenty vital questions posed to him by Emperor Hadrian, J. Gabriel Scala’s Twenty Questions for Robbie Dunkle moves swiftly and deftly into the essence of human existence—memory. Imbued with that ancient consideration, Robbie Dunkle emerges as a chance metaphor for the poet’s own past, the dead past, which becomes our past, with all of its wonders and wastes, which only brilliant poetry can revive this powerfully.”—Larissa Szporluk“J. Gabriel Scala’s series of unanswerable questions to seventh-grade companion Robbie Dunkle are singular as pebbles, marked with vivid details of a lost but living time and place. Scala throws them far into the water until they resonate, sending circles out into the abyss, captivating us in the endless human process of cycling through the past.”—Annie Finch
It's the secret they don't want you to find out – buried in government archives and not to be revealed until 2045. As the Germans are about to invade Paris in 1940 American Ben Peters attempts to smuggle a fortune in platinum out of the city in the legendary Bullion Bentley. But the Bentley is carrying an even more valuable human cargo, a mysterious Frenchwoman escaping with her young son and a secret that could change the course of the Second World War. Alena and Ben are the targets of Adolf Hitler's ruthless investigator Ludwig Weber, whose family will be executed if he fails. His orders are to silence Alena before she can reveal her secret; capture her young son and take him back to Berlin; and recover the Banque de France's platinum. As they flee their hunter, they experience the stark and tragic realities of war and the raw emotions of two brave people living on the edge of fear. And not everything is as it seems. Who is Alena and what is her secret that could destroy everything the Nazi movement stands for?
Wenda has struggled alone to keep the family’s crumbling ancestral home, Creswell Court, going. Her brother, Robbie, now Lord Creswell, is spending his time in London where he is a great success in Society and with the Prince of Wales and the beautiful ladies who surround him. The Prince has suffered from not being allowed by Queen Victoria to take any part in ruling the country and in compensation he goes from one attractive woman to another. He especially enjoys secret weekend house parties at his friends’ country houses – usually a party of ten and each gentleman brings with him a lady of his choice. To Robbie’s consternation the Prince of Wales suggests he should visit Creswell Court where he had heard the pictures are outstanding. Robbie is horrified, but he cannot refuse and so he rushes home to tell Wenda that the Prince is to be their guest for a Royal house party. Wenda asks the obvious question as to how they can afford it and to her alarm Robbie takes down two valuable pictures, which are entailed, telling her he has found an artist to copy them so cleverly that the Trustees will not realise the originals are missing. Wenda manages to clean up the house while Robbie unexpectedly meets a beautiful young woman who says she is married. Robbie offers to help her and is instantly attracted to her. How Wenda is rewarded for making the house habitable and comfortable for the Prince of Wales and how he finds the house party is even more amusing than he anticipated. And how the secret weekend provides love in a very special and delightful way for both Robbie and Wenda, is all told in this romantic tale by BARBARA CARTLAND.
Every 179 days Robbie’s memory resets. He knows this because he told himself in the letter he found after his last forgetting. To survive his recurring amnesia, Robbie leads a life that’s solitary and regimented. Alone in his apartment, he works to complete a bizarre, herculean task bequeathed to him by his former self. And then, with twelve days left before his next forgetting, Julie invades his life. Who is this aloof and beautiful young woman, who clearly has plans of her own? As the hour draws near, Robbie is forced to confront the fact that his past is very different from how he had imagined it. When Julie reveals her own terrible secret, he must come to terms with the truth about his own identity and their shared history. Is he about to lose everything all over again? The Beautiful Fall is a cinematic, page-turning romance. It’s both an intellectual puzzle and a compulsively readable love story.
Robby Bobby ist ein leidenschaftlicher Sammler von Action-Figuren. Als ausgebildeter Fotograf und mit seiner brennenden Leidenschaft für die Welt von Marvel und DC kreiert er beeindruckende, unvergessliche Fotografien, die das Herz berühren. Für seine ersten Bücher verwendete Robby Bobby farbiges Licht und Milchglas, um die Wirkung mystisch leuchtender Figuren zu erzeugen, die auf keinem Boden zu stehen scheinen und von magischem Licht umgeben sind, als würden sie im Weltall schweben. Für diese zweite Reihe von Büchern verwendete Robby Bobby ein Diorama, das er selbst entworfen und gebaut hat. Dieses Diorama an sich ist bereits ein Kunstwerk. Diese Miniatur-Stadt bildet den Hintergrund für die dunkle Atmosphäre der Comic-Welt, in der die Figuren einzeln beleuchtet und wie echte Schauspieler in Szene gesetzt sind. Schau dir das Video an auf amazon.com/author/robby.bobby Es zeigt eine kleinen Rundgang durch das wundervolle Diorama voller Überraschungen und Details. Ganz ohne Worte posieren in diesem Bildband bewegliche 1/6 Figuren von Diamond, Hasbro, Mezco und Mattel im Diorama und entführen dich an Orte des Marvel Legends Universums, in Welten und Dimensionen auf der Erde, im All und auf den Planeten Ego.

Detective Inspector Robbie Gray, falling foul of police bureaucracy gets called to a body lying in a rural swamp. When the nationality of the dead man is revealed, ASIO take over her investigation.

An electrifying story of fear and sacrifice, and what people will do to outrun the shadows. Iraqi aspiring pianist Nasim falls from favour with Saddam Hussein and his psychopathic son, triggering a perilous search for safety. In Australia, decades later, Gerry is in fear of his tyrannical father, Toohey, who has returned from the Iraq War bearing the physical and psychological scars of conflict. Meanwhile, Robbie is dealing with her own father’s dementia when the past enters the present. These characters’ worlds intertwine in a brilliant narrative of guilt and reckoning, trauma and survival. Crossing the frontiers of war, protest and reconciliation, Act of Grace is a meditation on inheritance: the damage that one generation passes on to the next, and the potential for transformation.

The heartbeat of powwow/round dance drums and the melodies of wooden end-blown flutes have woven into a magnificent tapestry that includes Indigenous rock, blues, pop. jazz, country music, punk, classical, opera, hip-hop, rap, and electronica music. Picking up where my book, Heartbeat, Warble, and the Electronic Powwow (University of Oklahoma Press, 2014) left off, Rise Up brings together the autobiographical reflections of Native American Music Awards (NAMMY), Juno, Grammy, and Polaris Prize winners between 2015 and 2020. The genre’s top artists not only discuss their music but also their memories, heritage, day-to-day lives, and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The very first volume about Native artists working commercially today, Rise Up presents artists speaking for themselves without being filtered through a stereotypical lens. Indigenous communities have been calling for self‐determination in self‐representation in their craft. Rise Up answers that call.
