Peter Leslie Livres

"Pindar: The Complete Works of Peter Leslie" is organised in three sections: "Autobiography of a Private Soldier" (published in 1877 by the "Fife News" in Cupar, Fife, Scotland), giving an account of his life from birth (1836) until he came back from the army (1877); "Random Rhymes" (published in 1893 by "Fife News"), which is an anthology of his poems edited by The Rev. A.M. Houston, B.D., minister of Auchterderran; and, lastly, a collection of "Pindar's unpublished poems and songs" gathered from "The Cowdenbeath & Lochegelly Times & Advertiser" (1895 to 1897) by James Campbell. As most of the pieces that appeared in local newspapers have not previously been included in any book, this is the first time that the complete works of Peter Leslie have been published.

The memoir offers a firsthand account of the life of a British soldier during the 19th-century imperial wars, highlighting his service in India, China, and the Middle East. Peter Leslie combines candid reflections on the brutal realities of battle with moments of humor, providing insight into both the horrors of war and the daily routines of army life. This work serves not only as a poignant historical document but also as a tribute to the often-overlooked soldiers who fought in these conflicts.

Who had kidnapped Napoleon?It was almost unbelievable: Napoleon Solo, U.N.C.L.E.'s top enforcement officer, ha been captured on the doorstep of U.N.C.L.E. Headquarters, and carried away helpless before his fellow agents could act.There were no clues to tell who had been behind the kidnapping; there was no trail to follow to rescue him. Yet Illya Kuryakin and the rest of U.N.C.L.E. had to try. Meanwhile, Napoleon awoke in a strange fortress and dicovered why he had been captured - and knew the security of the world depended on his escape...

Po vylodění v Normandii, v roce 1944 vyšle spojenecké velení svého agenta do jižní Francie, aby zde připravil vhodné podmínky pro otevření druhé fronty – vylodění Spojenců v srpnu 1944 mezi městy St. Raphael a St. Tropez. Příběh britského agenta je od začátku do konce plný napětí a připomíná zfilmované akce „Tuctu špinavců“.
