Eine großartige Geschichte der Weltstadt London »London ist so groß und wild, dass es alles in sich enthält«, schreibt Peter Ackroyd und erkundet diese Stadt wie ein menschliches Wesen, das uns betört, verwirrt, aber niemals gleichgültig lässt. Am sinnlichen Detail, am allgegenwärtigen Rot der Sandsteine, an den Gerüchen der vielen Märkte oder am Klangbild, das einst von Glockengeläut und »Balladenverkäufern« geprägt wurde, entschlüsselt er die Epochen, die London geprägt haben. Die Kritiker sind sich einig: Ackroyds Buch macht alle anderen Londonbücher überflüssig. Nie zuvor hat ein Schriftsteller so lebendig und beseelt die ganze Metropole porträtiert: vom Londoner Untergrund bis zu den Theatern des Westends, von der Großen Pest bis zu Jack the Ripper, von den prähistorischen Funden bis zu den Reklametafeln am Piccadilly. Ein Genuss für alle, die diese Stadt lieben. »Ein reiches Buch, voller Witz und Wissen, voller Elan und voller Leben, brillant geschrieben!« Die Zeit

Once considered the largest and most extensive source of biographies in the English language, The Universal Dictionary of Biography and Mythology contains information on nearly every historical figure, notable name, and important subject of mythology from throughout the world prior to the 20th century. Spanning all fields of human effort-from literature and the arts to philosophy and science-and touching on topics from multiple areas of mythological study, including Norse, Greek, and Roman, this extraordinary reference guide continues to be one of the most thorough and accurate collections of biographical data ever created. Combining mythological and biographical entries into a single, comprehensive list, and incorporating a unique system of indicating pronunciation and orthography, The Universal Dictionary of Biography and Mythology offers readers an unparalleled record of historically significant identities, from the obscure and forgotten newsmakers of yesteryear to the highly celebrated shapers of history that remain influential today. Volume III (IAC-PRO) of this exquisite four-volume set includes information on such names as Egyptian goddess Isis, American statesman Thomas Jefferson, German astronomer Johann Kepler, Spartan king Leonidas, Abraham Lincoln, Medusa, Mohammed, Roman emperor Nero, Orion, Plutarch, Ponce de Leon, and many more. JOSEPH THOMAS (1811-1891) also wrote A Comprehensive Medical Dictionary, various pronouncing vocabularies of biographical and geographical names, and a system of pronunciation for Lippincott's Pronouncing Gazetteer of the World.

The melodramatic and romantic clichÉs that pervade popular conceptions of working-class Londoners in the 19th and 20th century are debunked in this innovative exposÉ of proletariat London. The individual stories of muted historical figures, including an illiterate silk weaver, a grandmother in an asylum, a deserted family, an abused daughter, and a dead child, are brought to light through interpretations of the scraps they left behind—gravestone inscriptions, photographs and certificates, the grimy contents of hidden cubbyholes, and even childhood recollections that have been passed down through the generations. The unusual contents of these stories intertwine to evoke a haunting and original picture of working-class London that adds a much-needed, though bleak facet to the city's social history.
