Das Geheimnis des Boxers (German Edition)Die erfolgreiche Schriftstellerin Marie scheut reale Begegnungen und Beziehungen und geht stattdessen völlig in ihren Büchern auf. Während einer Buchmesse lernt sie jedoch Chulain Sayers kennen, einen Boxer mit irischen Wurzeln, der dort seine Biografie vorstellt. Es überrascht sie, dass er nicht ihren klischeehaften Vorstellungen entspricht, kein ungebildeter Schläger, sondern ein feinsinniger Mensch ist, der ebenso wie sie selbst Literatur studiert hat. Marie ist fasziniert von Chulain. Sie verliebt sich und gerät immer mehr in seinen Bann, so dass ihr bisheriges Leben, Denken und Handeln komplett auf den Kopf gestellt wird, sie die gewohnte Kontrolle verliert und nicht mehr schreiben kann. Trotzdem genießt sie das neue Leben mit Chulain in vollen Zügen. Chulains Manager Sammy kommt diese Beziehung dagegen sehr ungelegen. Er fürchtet, dass sein Schützling sich fortan weniger ums Boxen kümmert und ihm entgleitet. Daher setzt er alles daran, die Liebe zwischen Chulain und Marie zu zerstören. | Knights of the Sea: The True Story of the Boxer and the Enterprise and the War of 1812On a September day in 1813, as the Age of Fighting Sail was coming to an end, two maritime warriors faced each other in the waters off Pemaquid Point, Maine... Samuel Blyth was the youthful commander of His Britannic Majesty's brig Boxer, and William Burrows, younger still, commanded the USS Enterprise. Both men valued honor over life and death, and on this day their commitment would be put to the ultimate test. The battle between the Boxer and the Enterprise would be the only major sea engagement of the War of 1812 witnessed by people on land, and, though it lasted less than an hour, was a brutal contest whose outcome was uncertain. When the cannon smoke cleared, good men had been lost, and the U.S. Navy's position in the war had changed. In Knights of the Sea, David Hanna brings to vivid life a lost era-a time when sailing vessels exchanged broadsides and naval officers considered it the highest honor to harness the wind to meet their foes. This history pays tribute to the young commanders on either side, a vanishing breed who would come to be standard bearers of courage and fortitude, and would be immortalized in words by the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Includes Illustrations Throughout The battle between the Boxer and the Enterprise came to represent for those who witnessed it, lived through it, and remembered it something more than a military turning point-it became emblematic of a maritime era that would soon be gone forever. |
