Vickers Salley Grandmothers
Grandmothers is the story of three very different women and their relationship with the younger generation: fiercely independent Nan, who leads a secret life as an award-winning poet when she is not teaching her grandson Billy how to lie; glamorous Blanche, deprived of the company of her beloved granddaughter Kitty by her hostile daughter-in-law, who finds solace in rebelliously taking to drink and shop lifting; and shy, bookish Minna who in the safety of shepherd's hut shares with her surrogate granddaughter Rose her passion for reading. The outlook of all three women subtly alters when through their encounters with each other they discover that the past is always with us and that we go on learning and changing until the very end. Grandmothers is a beautifully observed, sometimes subversive, often tender and elegiac novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Librarian.

How much can love ask of us? Brilliant and mercurial Will Tye suffers a life changing accident. The terrible event ripples through three generations of the complex and eccentric Tye family, bringing to light old tragedies and dangerous secrets.

Told through the eyes of three women close to Will, his sister, his grandmother and his aunt, Cousins is a novel weaving darkness and light which takes us from the outbreak of World War Two to the present day, exploring the recurrence of tragedy, the nature of trangression, and the limits of morality and love.

The brilliant new work from the bestselling author of 'Miss Garnet's Angel' and 'The Other Side of You'. Violet Hetherington has taken the rash step of joining a transatlantic cruise ship to New York to visit Edwin, an old friend. As she makes the six day crossing, she relives the traumatic events that led to her losing Edwin's friendship, and abandoning her career as a poet, for the safety of marriage and domesticity. Despite her natural reserve, she meets a rich variety of passengers travelling with her, who affect her understanding of her own past. Most significantly, she meets Dino, the dance host, whose motives in befriending Vi are shady, but who teaches her to ballroom dance - and inadvertently helps her to recover from her past. Moving between the late sixties and the present day, 'Dancing Backwards' is written with the lightness of touch and psychological insight which characterise Salley Vickers' acclaimed work. This bittersweet novel is subtle, poignant and wonderfully entertaining.
1873 Руб.Vickers Salley Miss Garnet's Angel
Salley Vicker’s sensational debut novel, ‘Miss Garnet’s Angel’ is a voyage of discovery; a novel about Venice but also the rich story of the explosive possibilities of change in all of us at any time. Julia Garnet is a teacher. Just retired, she is left a legacy which she uses by leaving her orderly life and going to live – in winter – in an apartment in Venice. Its beauty, its secret corners and treasures, and its people overwhelm a lifetime of reserve and caution. Above all, she’s touched by the all-prevalent spirit of the Angel, Raphael. The ancient tale of Tobias, who travels to Media unaware he is accompanied by the Archangel Raphael, unfolds alongside Julia Garnet’s contemporary journey. The two stories interweave with parents and landladies, restorers and priests, American tourists and ancient travellers abounding. The result is an enormously satisfying journey of the spirit – and Julia Garnet is a character to treasure.

530 Руб.47 мм орудие Vickers/Maxim на тумбовой установке. 1885 г. 1/35
Появление быстроходных миноносцев вызвало необходимость вооружения тяжелых кораблей скорострельными орудиями малого калибра. Устанавливаемые ранее орудия 47-мм орудиях QF 3-pounder Hotchkiss не обладали достаточной убойной силой, поэтому было принято решение разработать новые более мощные снаряды и новое орудие для них. Разработка орудий велась компанией Vickers в 1900-1903 годах. Первый заказ на производство 147 орудий поступил в 1904. Орудия предназначались для установки на крейсера и крупные корабли в качестве противоминных пушек. Позже QF 3-pounder Vickers стали устанавливать на корабли меньшего размера. К 1911 году на вооружении кораблей стояло 193 орудий этого типа, но они не стали стандартным вооружением в Королевском флоте. Хотя QF 3-pounder Vickers обладал большей дальностью стрельбы и убойной силой нового снаряда, его скорострельность была ниже, чем у аналогичного орудия Hotchkiss. Увеличенная длина ствола сделало орудие слишком тяжелым, что затрудняло его ручное наведение. В 1915 году, в ходе Первой мировой войны, орудия QF 3-pounder Vickers были признаны неэффективными и демонтированы с большинства кораблей, часть из них были использованы в качестве береговой артиллерии и для вооружения речных кораблей и катеров. Некоторые орудия были установлены в бронированных грузовиках грузовиков «Pierce-Arrow» и «Seabrook», в качестве основного вооружения. В 1924 году на базе QF 3-pounder Vickers была разработана танковая пушка OQF 3-pounder gun, а в 1927 часть ранее произведенных орудий были переделаны для использования в качестве зенитной артиллерии с использованием турели Mark III HA. Серийное производство QF 3-pounder Vickers велось в период 1905-1936 годов на британских заводах Vickers. Всего было произведено 600 орудий.
