Leslie, son of doughnut magnate Jacob Siconski, returns home from a 20 year exile for his estranged father's funeral and the reading of the will. The old man has left his entire $27 million estate to his daughter, Mary, and to his eldest son, Charlie, whereabouts unknown. As a young boy, Charlie begain suffering from panic attacks after surviving the car crash that killed his mother. The attacks eventually led to agoraphobia, and for nearly a decade he lived as a recluse in the family mansion. Then one day he vanished without a trace. Leslie decides to stay with his sister and her husband for a few days after the funeral. Out of the blue, they receive a phone call from a detective in central Wisconsin. A badly beaten corpse has been found outside the town of Baraboo and identified as Charlie. Baraboo, home of the Circus World Museum, is where Charlies' father had taken him to help him recover form the trauma of his mother's death. Leslie's attempt to uncover the truth of his brother's apparent murder devolves into a mad adventure. He learns that Charlie had taken to living in a homemade shelter near an Indian burial mound and had come to be regarded by members of the Ho-Chunk tribe as the reincarnation of a god, sent back to see vengeance on Buffalo Bill. To the cirus peopole he had become a comic and musical legend. In his search for answers Leslie deals with a portly police detective, an ancient immigrant farmer, an Indian shaman, a dreamy tattoo artist, and Charlie's lover, an amorous librarian, an abused and neglected aerialist, and a nervous naturalist.

"Written by one of the most brilliant and provocative historians at work today, The Isles is a revolutionary narrative history that takes a new perspective on the development of Britain and Ireland, looking at them not as self-contained islands, but as an inextricable part of Europe. At every stage, The Isles connects offshore development with parallel events on the Continent. This richly layered history begins with the Celtic Supremacy in the last centuries BC, which is presented in the light of a Celtic world stretching all the way from Iberia to Asia Minor. Roman Britain is seen not as a unique phenomenon but as similar to the other frontier regions of the Roman Empire, such as Germany. The Viking Age is viewed not only through the eyes of the invaded but from the standpoint of the invaders themselves -- Norse, Danes, and Normans. Plantagenet England is perceived, like the Kingdom of Jerusalem, as an extension of medieval France. In the later chapters, Davies follows the growth of the United Kingdom and charts the rise and fall of the main pillars of `Britishness'--the Royal Navy, the Westminster Parliament, the Constitutional Monarchy, the Aristocracy, the Protestant Supremecy, the British Empire, the imperial economy and sterling area, and the English Language. The book ends with the crisis confronting Britain now -- the emergence of the European Union. As the elements that make up the historic Britishness dissolve, Davies shows how public confusion is one of the most potent factors in this process of disintegration. As the Republic of Ireland prospers, and power in the United Kingdom is devolved, he predicts that the coming crisis in the British State may well be its last. This holistic approach challenges the traditional nationalist picture of a thousand years of "eternal England" -- a unique country formed at an early date by Anglo-Saxon kings which evolved in isolation and, except for the Norman Conquest, was only marginally affected by continental affairs. The result is a new picture of the Isles, one of four continents -- England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales--constantly buffeted by continental storms and repeatedly transformed by them. Illuminated by the same clarity and piercing originality that distinguished Europe: A History, The Isles will become an agenda-setting book, one that will encourage a reassessment of what it means to be British while sparking debate about ideas of national identity and sovereignty., Oxford University Press, 1999, 3<

The Mongol Empire was the largest continuous land empire known to history, its violent creation the major political event of the thirteenth century world. Yet little is known the history of Christendom's most formidable eastern neighbour.In this classic history, David Morgan explains how the vast Mongolian Empire was organized and governed, examining the religious and political character of the steppe nomadic society. He assesses the astonishing military career of Chingiz (Genghis) Khan, considers the nature of Mongol imperial government, and the effects of Mongol campaigns on the countries and peoples they conquered in China, Russia, Persia and Europe. His narrative extends to the collapse of the Empire and the formation of a People's Republic as a Russian satellite state., Blackwell Publishers, 1986, 2.5, New York: Oxford University Press, 1999. 2nd Printing.
