Alan Emlyn Williams, periodista y corresponsal extranjero, informó desde puntos críticos mundiales como Hungría en 1956, Argelia, Vietnam e Irlanda del Norte.

Sin embargo, su mayor éxito internacional provino de sus meticulosas historias de espías, que a menudo incorporaban eventos y figuras reales.

"Jalaloddin Rumi was a poet and mystic of the highest attainment, but he was first and foremost a spiritual teacher. His verses lead the reader along the path of divine love, towards an understanding of the deepest truth that underlies reality. Rumi draws on a vast range of sources, from fables to stories from daily life and religious tradition, to compose a remarkable text, which is a ladder to the spiritual world." "Alan Williams's translation into blank verse conveys the poetry of the original Persian couplets, while his introduction discusses how the modern reader might approach Rumi's writing. This edition also includes notes, a chronology of Rumi's life and further reading."--BOOK JACKET

Berija se v nich projevuje jako jedna z největších lidských stvůr naší doby, a to v soukromém (především sexuálním) životě, i ve svých politických intrikách z titulu druhého nejmocnějšího muže sovětského režimu....

Kein Wein schmeckt wie der andere – und nicht jeder Wein trifft unseren persönlichen Geschmack. Wie aber wird ein Wein zu dem, was er ist, und wie können wir herausfinden, welche Weine wir wirklich mögen? Andrew Jefford geht zunächst der Frage nach, welchen Einfluss Rebsorte, Boden, Klima und Winzer auf den Geschmack und den Stil eines Weins haben, um sich dann den einzelnen Weinstilen und dem Weingenuss zu widmen. ‚Wege zum Wein‘ schärft die Sinne für die wesentlichen Zusammenhänge bei der Entstehung des Weins und weckt die Lust, eines der schönsten Geschenke der Natur für sich selbst zu entdecken.
