Inspector Oldfield and the Black Hand Society
Autor: William Oldfield , Victoria Bruce
Número de Páginas: 336
The “fascinating…great-grandson’s account” (The Wall Street Journal) of the US postal inspector who brought to justice the deadly Black Hand is “unputdownable” (Library Journal, starred review). Before the emergence of prohibition-era gangsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, there was the Black Hand: an early twentieth-century Sicilian-American crime ring that preyed on immigrants from the old country. In those days, the FBI was in its infancy, and local law enforcement were clueless against the dangers. Terrorized victims rarely spoke out, and the criminals ruled with terror—until Inspector Frank Oldfield came along. In 1899, Oldfield became America’s 156th Post Office Inspector—joining the ranks of the most powerful federal law enforcement agents in the country. Based in Columbus, Ohio, the unconventional Oldfield brilliantly took down train robbers, murderers, and embezzlers from Ohio to New York to Maryland. Oldfield was finally able to penetrate the dreaded Black Hand when a tip-off put him onto the most epic investigation of his career, culminating in the 1909 capture of sixteen mafiosos in a case that spanned four states, two continents—and ended in...

The Manchester Directories 1772, 1773 & 1781
Autor: Elizabeth Raffald
Número de Páginas: 280
In 1772 Manchester was a fast growing town thanks to the rise in industrialisation. Elizabeth Raffald ran a shop, a cookery school, a coaching inn, a servant's employment register, wrote a cookbook and supported the local newspaper financially, wrote a manuscript on midwifery and so much more. She was innovative so it was only logical that she would be the first with the innovation of a directory of traders and notable people, and only 3 years after producing her cookbook she had compiled a 60 page guide to the locations and trades of many residents, a year later increasing it to 78 pages as the town grew and addresses were improved. She produced a third directory in 1781 after placing advertisements in the Manchester Mercury for people wishing to be included. After she died in 1781 it took another 7 years before anyone else attempted another directory. Elizabeth Raffald was truly a pioneer of her time. For more about Elizabeth see 'The Experienced English Housekeeper of Manchester' by Suze Appleton.

In 1772 Manchester was a fast growing town thanks to the rise in industrialisation. Elizabeth Raffald was a busy entrepreneur involving herself in numerous business ventures. She ran a shop, a cookery school, a coaching inn, a servant's employment register, wrote a cookbook and supported the local newspaper financially, wrote a manuscript on midwifery and so much more. She produced her 1769 cookbook, The Experienced English Housekeeper and saw a need for a directory of traders and notable people. Only 3 years after producing her cookbook she had compiled the first ever directory for Manchester, followed by a second a year later as the town grew and addresses were improved. She produced a third directory in 1781. After she died in 1781 it took another 7 years before anyone else attempted another directory. Elizabeth Raffald was truly a pioneer of her time.

En el presente volumen, varios investigadores de diferentes universidades y centros de investigación y de enseñanza españoles y extranjeros ofrecen nuevos estudios monográficos sobre algunos aspectos y ejemplos representativos de la recepción de Don Quijote fuera de España, en las obras literarias y artísticas de la cultura europea, occidental y universal en general. Con este libro, que incluye trabajos de diversos ámbitos y áreas de conocimientos como Filología Alemana, Árabe, Francesa, Hispánica e Inglesa, Filosofía e Historia del Arte, entre otros —y que constituye la continuación de la monografía Don Quijote por tierras extranjeras. Estudios sobre la recepción internacional de la novela cervantina (Ediciones de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 2007)-, se pretende profundizar, desde una perspectiva comparatista, panorámica y multidisciplinar, en el conocimiento de la importante influencia que la novela sobre el Caballero de la Triste Figura ha ejercido sobre la literatura y la cultura de otros países, aportando, además, nuevos datos y resultados sobre algunos de los aspectos menos conocidos de esta materia.
