Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. In 1856, Lieutenant Henry Aaron Bird makes a startling discovery: a speechless, shipwrecked young girl, living a feral existence on a remote Pacific island. When he exhibits her as a wild girl in the chaotic sprawl of early San Francisco, this golden-haired child without a past will be seen by the populace as a scientific curiosity, a titillating image of female savagery, or, for many, a symbol of the unspoiled body of that young country. For Bird, she is a fragile ward in need of protection, whom he keeps drugged and confined when not using her to further his reputation. But Alice will rebel against Birds control, and set herself adrift once more in the surreal landscape of 19th century Americaa place no less foreign to her than her own troubled pastwhere shell discover that the freedom she desires may have always been an illusion. Alice, or The Wild Girl takes the reader on a voyage from French Polynesia to the terminus of the American frontier, as it charts the unlikely bond that develops between an aging US naval commander and the lost, damaged girl he attempts to civilize as a way of alleviating his own loneliness and ennui. Steeped in period detail and layered with fascinating thematic threads, Michael Robert Liska's bold tale examines existential questions about the nature of history, time, and identity, in a vanished America that is at once alien and strikingly like our own. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This question stayed with Wilson for the rest of his life. He pursued it from multiple perspectives, beginning with the physiological aspect of colour and progressing to the physical, philosophical, artistic, therapeutic and lastly spiritual aspects. The results of his investigations, which he published in leading scientific and Anthroposophical journals, are presented here together with his monograph for the first time in one volume. Since the chronology of his works happens to mirror loosely the structure of Goethe's Theory of Colours, ``a Goethean approach to a fundamental problem'' is a fitting description of his works on colour as a whole.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An enchanting story about the unlikely bond between an aging naval commander and the feral child named Alice that he picks up on a deserted island in the South Seas in the mid-nineteenth century, informally adopting her and attempting to 're-civilize' her while hoping that she might alleviate his loneliness and ennui. Alice takes the reader on a journey in multiple senses of the word, starting out with Melvillian touches in faraway South Pacific locales, then moving on to dry land, with engrossing scenes set in antebellum Virginia, followed by Dickensian narrative segments that play out in a bustling and chaotic frontier town named San Francisco. This masterfully written novel is steeped in cultural and historical period detail, shot through with fascinating thematic threads, and enriched with layered psychological and emotional nuances.
