audiobook Women in Ancient Egypt by Gay Robins in History

Description

Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all timeIn this book; the author of Seven Gothic Tales gives a true account of her life on her plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the country and the natives: of the beauty of the Ngong Hills and coffee trees in blossom: of her guests; from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen; the old charcoal burner; who visited her: of primitive festivals: of big game that were her near neighbors--lions; rhinos; elephants; zebras; buffaloes--and of Lulu; the little gazelle who came to live with her; unbelievably ladylike and beautiful. The Random House colophon made its debut in February 1927 on the cover of a little pamphlet called "Announcement Number One." Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer; the company's founders; had acquired the Modern Library from publishers Boni and Liveright two years earlier. One day; their friend the illustrator Rockwell Kent stopped by their office. Cerf later recalled; "Rockwell was sitting at my desk facing Donald; and we were talking about doing a few books on the side; when suddenly I got an inspiration and said; 'I've got the name for our publishing house. We just said we were go-ing to publish a few books on the side at random. Let's call it Random House.' Donald liked the idea; and Rockwell Kent said; 'That's a great name. I'll draw your trademark.' So; sitting at my desk; he took a piece of paper and in five minutes drew Random House; which has been our colophon ever since." Throughout the years; the mission of Random House has remained consistent: to publish books of the highest quality; at random. We are proud to continue this tradition today. This edition is set from the first American edition of 1937 and commemorates the seventy-fifth anniversary of Random House.
