Pathfinder 1E Cleric 2024: King in Yellow - Embracing the Power of Madness Pathfinder 1E - Stellar Dragons
AT THE MERCY OF MADNESS illuminates the last untold European chapter of WW II's chronology: the saga of the 50,000 Bulgarian Jews. Against this tableau of a world gone mad, the novel charts the stories of two men, a king and a fanatical militant out to kill him. The king was Boris III of Bulgaria whose queen was Giovanna, the daughter of Italy's Vittorio Emmanuele, and his cousin George VI of England. To Churchill, Boris is "distrustful and cunning" and "a man with a slimy reptilian nature." Hitler wants the 50,000 Bulgarian Jews, but Boris procrastinates, promises, and even joins the Axis Pact in a show of solidarity. Himmler and Ribbentrop suspect the king of playing a double game, but Hitler is flattered to have a king as his ally. Boris withdraws into the shadows. He keeps his cards close to his vest. What his true intentions regarding the Jews are opaque. He knows there is a sinister conspiracy within his own government to comply with Hitler's wishes and deport the Jews, yet he decides to intervene in the last minute by agreeing to deport the Jews but only out of the capital and "resettle" them far and wide in the provinces. Again Hitler demands to have the Jews, and again a rumored order "from the highest place" halts another attempt to round them up. Could the king be buying time, while playing with fire? No one knows for sure, including his cabinet and close advisors. To the small but well organized Bulgarian communist underground the king is clearly the implacable enemy who represents a tyrannical fascist regime they aim to eliminate and replace with a Soviet-style "People's Republic." Boris survives three assassination attempts on his life. But in 1943, following a violent encounter with Hitler, Boris suddenly dies a most mysterious death by snake poison. Who was behind the murder of the king? The list of suspects includes not only Hitler and Stalin but, not surprisingly, Churchill. The story of the young militant, Lazar Insarov, is closely intertwined with the life story of Rabbi Haim "Rico"Asa of Temple Beth Tikvah, Fullerton, California, who was 11 when those momentous events took place. Wounded and on the lam, Lazar finds refuge in the home of Avram Asa, a prominent Jewish leader, and a decorated WW I war hero. Rico's ravishingly beautiful cousin, Rebeka, a promising concert pianist, falls madly in love with the wounded Lazar while nursing him back to life. But for the young militant his true love is the struggle against injustice and tyranny. In the aftermath, did the Bulgarian Jews escape the gas chambers? With amazing fidelity, Mr. Kafallo, himself Bulgarian born, brings to life a period of hitherto unknown European history. The result is a heart-pounding novel that recalls in scope, political intrigue and torrid love Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago. | Author: Ivan Kafaloff | Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | Publication Date: Jan 10, 2018 | Number of Pages: 556 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1983745626 | ISBN-13: 9781983745621

moja ocena 4/5 W 1788 roku Anglią wstrząsa wiadomość o tajemniczej chorobie króla. Jerzy III zachowuje się bardzo dziwnie, nie przestrzega dworskiej etykiety, biega w bieliźnie, składa niedwuznaczne propozycje damom dworu i miota się po zamku szemrząc coś nieustannie. Czyżby oszalał?! Nadworni lekarze nie potrafią postawić wiarygodnej diagnozy, a najstarszy syn króla Książę Walii usiłuje wykorzystać chorobę ojca do przejęcia władzy. Królestwo jest na skraju chaosu, brytyjskie kolonie w Ameryce Północnej wymykają się spod kontroli. Czy sprowadzony na dwór doktor Willis, lekarz o nietypowych jak na tamte czasy metodach, będzie w stanie uzdrowić króla i ocalić tym samym królestwo?

Long ago, in Old Carcossa, the faceless tattered king . . . . . . well, that would be telling. Inspired by Chambers' mad tales, this print, hand-pulled and unique, suggests that madness may in fact lie as near at hand as a slender volume. Or a lunatic image. An edition of only six with these blocks, inks, and paper, numbered and signed. Acid-free matte and slipcover included, 8" x 10" Other prints and editions of the King and others available, just ask. The fourth image is from a small run on handmade Spanish paper. The fifth is on patterned wallpaper. New prints to order from the same blocks are possible. Sweet dreams.
