Epic – The New Land Rover Defender Limited Edition Book Sealed crathorne. New Land Rover Defender. Limited Edition Hardcover Book. Roger Crathorne – Matthias Pfanmueller – Boris Schmidt. Rare & Hard to Find. Book is brand new and sealed, although there are a couple of very small tears to the cellophane wrapping – see photos. New Defender story, from design, concept to build and production. One name, two concepts: the Classic Land Rover Defender was the ultimate all-terrain, all purpose vehicle for many decades, cherished by enthusiasts all over the world. And it will happen again with the New Defender. This book explains why both models represent the right solution for their time but still share the same goal: go anywhere, do everything. Having long-term ties with Land Rover and exclusive access to the product planning of modern Defender, the knowledgeable authors present a comprehensive summary from genesis to series production of a capable automobile that is ready to inherit a legendary claim: “The Best 4x4xFar”. For the former CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, Ralf Speth, the new Defender book was a kind of farewell present. Right at the beginning of the 2.4 kilogram and 256 pages voluminous volume, Speth is allowed to plow through the famous “jungle” near Solihull in the new Land Rover and present the car in fine thread and with rubber boots. The jungle was created in 1948 when the first Land Rover was developed. The brand is now over 70 years old. Matthias Pfannmüller and FAZ editor Boris Schmidt have been with them for a long time. In 1997, they published the first Land Rover book in German, which has been updated several times. While it was always about the brand as a whole, this new work, of which this is the English edition, deals exclusively with the original Land Rover, which has been called Defender since the early 1990s. There was outcry from the many fans around the world when the Defender was discontinued in January 2016, but in 2020 the model came back, technically completely new, without rigid axles, but at first glance a Defender. For this book, Pfannmüller and Schmidt brought Land Rover veteran Roger Crathorne into the team of authors. Nobody knows the brand better than he does, as he has spent his entire professional life in Solihull and has built up an extensive, private archive. Crathorne has given decades of his life to Land Rover, earning himself the nickname “Mr Land Rover”. In addition to a representation of the history, the entire route to the new Defender is traced, from the first drawing to the prototype construction, to the fresh factory in Nitra, Slovakia. This is the ultimate coffee-table book for any Defender owner or fan. 30cm x 30cm 12 ” x 12″ approx. , over 3cm (1.25) thick and weighing it at over 2.4Kg, there are 256 pages in full colour and printed on quality heavy-stock paper. Originally given away by Land Rover to buyers of the New Defender, only a limited number were printed and it is now very hard to find. This item is in the category “Collectables\Transportation Collectables\Automobilia”. The seller is “blueyucca” and is located in this country: GB. This item can be shipped to United Kingdom, Antigua and Barbuda, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Australia, United States, Bahrain, Canada, Brazil, Japan, New Zealand, China, Israel, Hong Kong, Norway, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Korea, South, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, Barbados, Brunei Darussalam, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Ecuador, Egypt, Guernsey, Gibraltar, Guadeloupe, Grenada, French Guiana, Iceland, Jersey, Jordan, Cambodia, Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Liechtenstein, Sri Lanka, Macau, Monaco, Maldives, Montserrat, Martinique, Nicaragua, Oman, Pakistan, Peru, Paraguay, Reunion, Turks and Caicos Islands, Aruba, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, Chile, Bahamas, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Kuwait, Panama, Philippines, Qatar, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Vietnam.

1895 Very Old RARE Book Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky Novel St. Petersburg
Very Old RARE Book!! Place of Publication: St. Publisher: The publication of A. Demons (Russian: , Bésy) is a novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, first published in the journal The Russian Messenger in 18712. It is the third of the four great novels written by Dostoyevsky after his return from Siberian exile, the others being Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880). Demons is a social and political satire, a psychological drama, and large scale tragedy. Joyce Carol Oates has described it as Dostoevsky’s most confused and violent novel, and his most satisfactorily’tragic’ work. ” According to Ronald Hingley, it is Dostoyevsky’s “greatest onslaught on Nihilism”, and “one of humanity’s most impressive achievementsperhaps even its supreme achievementin the art of prose fiction. Demons is an allegory of the potentially catastrophic consequences of the political and moral nihilism that were becoming prevalent in Russia in the 1860s. A fictional town descends into chaos as it becomes the focal point of an attempted revolution, orchestrated by master conspirator Pyotr Verkhovensky. The mysterious aristocratic figure of Nikolai StavroginVerkhovensky’s counterpart in the moral spheredominates the book, exercising an extraordinary influence over the hearts and minds of almost all the other characters. The idealistic, western-influenced generation of the 1840s, epitomized in the character of Stepan Verkhovensky (who is both Pyotr Verkhovensky’s father and Nikolai Stavrogin’s childhood teacher), are presented as the unconscious progenitors and helpless accomplices of the’demonic’ forces that take possession of the town. The original Russian title is Bésy (Russian: , singular , bés), which means “demons”. There are three English translations: The Possessed, The Devils, and Demons. Constance Garnett’s 1916 translation popularized the novel and gained it notoriety as The Possessed, but this title has been disputed by later translators. They argue that “The Possessed” points in the wrong direction because Bésy refers to an active subject rather than a passive object”possessors” rather than “the possessed”. However,’Demons’ refers not to individuals who act in various immoral or criminal ways, but rather to the ideas that possess them: non-material but living forces that subordinate the individual (and collective) consciousness, distorting it and impelling it toward catastrophe. The demons are that legion of isms that came to Russia from the West: idealism, rationalism, empiricism, materialism, utilitarianism, positivism, socialism, anarchism, nihilism, and, underlying them all, atheism. The counter-ideal to the demons (expressed in the novel through the character of Ivan Shatov) is that of an authentically Russian culture growing out of the people’s inherent spirituality and faith. In a letter to his friend Apollon Maykov, Dostoyevsky alludes to the episode of the Exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac in the Gospel of Luke as the inspiration for the title: Exactly the same thing happened in our country: the devils went out of the Russian man and entered into a herd of swine… These are drowned or will be drowned, and the healed man, from whom the devils have departed, sits at the feet of Jesus. Part of the passage is used as an epigraph, and Dostoyevsky’s thoughts on its relevance to Russia are given voice by Stepan Verkhovensky on his deathbed near the end of the novel. Has few damage but overall in good condition for its time! Please see the photos. Look all items in my store.
