Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book contains 29 classic tales of mystery and imagination by
Edgar Allan Poe. It is pictured throughout with the incredible line
drawings of Harry Clarke. Tales include: Morella, Ligeia, The
Murders in Rue Morgue, The Masque of Red Death, The Black Cat and
many others.
Do Millionaires Really Make Mistakes? We're all fascinated by the
brilliant entrepreneur who hits it big with the latest and greatest
new idea. We're captivated by the amazing inspiration, the stunning
growth, and finally, the huge profit. But what happens when huge
risks and unforeseen pitfalls take enterprises down and ruin
fortunes in a flash? The fall from the top is painful and
inglorious. CEO coach, author, and speaker Harry Clark and the
thirty ultimately successful entrepreneurs he interviewed for
Mistakes Millionaires Make know that terrible fate all too well.
They lived it. And they recount their experiences - involving
losses from ten million to two hundred million dollars - and the
catastrophic effects those losses had on them and their families.
Whether you're a family-business owner or an investor, involved in
a huge enterprise or the pizza shop around the corner, Clark's
informative and often shocking accounts of entrepreneurial missteps
will provide you with key insights into where these thought leaders
went wrong, what they learned, and how they got back on their feet
again. CEOs and their teams and families, business leaders,
entrepreneurs, and anyone involved in a business of any type or
size will benefit from the compelling interviews and the lessons
learned about the pitfalls that snagged others. Mistakes
Millionaires Make stands apart from the rest with its
fortune-saving recommendations and insights into the risks that all
entrepreneurs face every day. Even if you don't have millions,
you'll walk away with practical advice for avoiding failure and
living a better financial future in whatever business venture you
undertake.
In 1916 George Harrap published an edition of The Fairy Tales of
Hans Christian Andersen which included specially commissioned
illustrations from a new young Irish illustrator, Harry Clarke.
Although previously commissioned to provide illustrations for two
other publishing projects, this was the first time Clarke's work
had appeared in print. His talent was quickly acknowledged and he
became recognised as one of the key illustrators during the golden
age of gift-book illustration. In all, he created 16 full-colour
and 24 monochrome illustrations for this edition. Although many of
these have been acquired by the National Gallery of Ireland, they
will not be familiar to many modern readers.
For this new collection, twenty of Andersen's best loved tales
have been re-written and with Clarke's fabulous illustrations will
create a wonderful gift book for children young and old.
