"Den blodrøde streg" fortæller den usminkede sandhed om den mest rå og brutale krig nogensinde, hvor mænds laveste instinkter blandes med de ædleste følelser. Endnu engang tager James Jones os med til fronten på Guadalcanal i Stillehavet under 2. verdenskrig, som også dannede baggrund for hans romaner "Herfra til evigheden" og "Feber", og hvor han selv gjorde tjeneste under krigen. James Jones har tegnet en lang række portrætter af kompagniets soldater, men billedet af kompagnichefen, kaptajn Stein, står allerstærkest. Han bliver stillet over for at skulle sende sine folk ud i angreb på de japanske stillinger, vel vidende at det betyder døden. Han er et gennemsnitsmenneske, der først knuges af frygt, men efterhånden vokser med ansvaret. "Utvivlsomt et mesterværk." - Chicago Daily News "Blandt det allerbedste, der er skrevet om 2. verdenskrig." - Pittsburgh Press "Noget nær et mirakel af en krigsroman." - The Atlantic Monthly James Jones’ krigstrilogi består af "Herfra til evigheden" (1951), "Den blodrøde streg" (1962) og "Feber" (1978). Alle værker kan læses uafhængigt af hinanden. James Jones (1921-1977) var en amerikansk forfatter, der er mest kendt for sine romaner om 2. verdenskrig og efterkrigstiden. James Jones var selv soldat i infanteridivisionen under 2. verdenskrig og blev såret i slaget om Guadalcanal. En af hans mest berømte romaner "Den tynde røde linie" er inspireret af hans egne oplevelser ved dette slag. James Jones’ roman "Herfra til evigheden" vandt National Book Award i 1952.

Dave Hirsh falder i søvn på en bus i Chicago og vågner først af sin brandert, da bussen stopper i hans fødeby, Parkman i Illinois. Dave har ikke sat fod i Parkman, siden hans storebror Frank for 16 år siden sendte ham på kostskole. I mellemtiden er Frank blevet en respekteret forretningsmand i det lille samfund, og hans oprørske lillebrors pludselige tilstedeværelse truer hans position og gode omdømme. "De rodløse" er en moderne klassiker, der foregår i de fire år mellem 2. verdenskrig og Koreakrigen. Efterhånden som romanen skrider frem, står dens centrale tema klart. Det angår illusion – det gabende svælg imellem hvad mennesket tror, det gør, og hvad det i virkeligheden gør, imellem ét menneskes opfattelse af virkeligheden og et andets. James Jones skildrer med sjælden klarhed, styrke og dristighed gennemsnitsamerikanerens tilværelse, tanker og tilbøjeligheder.

Fierce battles ensue and in the process they capture a princess and steal her dowry and gold bullion from a ship in the dead of night. They also commandeer three Spanish treasure ships and, using the melted gold, they commit a major forgery by selling the gilded gold to greedy, corrupt government officials.

James Jones's saga of life in the American Midwest, newly revised five decades after it was first published and including a new foreword by his daughter, Kaylie Jones After the blockbuster international success of From Here to Eternity, James Jones retreated from public life, making his home at the Handy Writers' Colony in Illinois. His goal was to write something larger than a war novel, and the result, six years in the making, was Some Came Running, a stirring portrait of small-town life in the American Midwest at a time when our country and its people were striving to find their place in the new postwar world. Five decades later, it has been revised and reedited under the direction of the Jones estate to allow for a leaner, tighter read. The result is the masterpiece Jones intended: a tale whose brutal honesty is as shocking now as on the day it was first published. This ebook features an illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the author's estate.

James Jones, the novelist best known for his WWII trilogy "From Here to Eternity" (Nat l Book Award, 1952) "The Thin Red Line," and "Whistle," was chosen to write the text accompanying a coffee-table book of art from WWII edited by Art Weithas in 1975. That book was a best-seller and used copies are still available on line, but the images make it impossible to reprint. We are bringing back James Jones s extraordinary text, which stands well on its own as his only non-fiction account of his experiences as a soldier in WWII. The book is also a compact, unflinching history of the war told from the point of view of the men who fought it."

Four World War II infantrymen recover at an army hospital, and struggle to readjust to the home front, in this New York Times–bestselling novel. At the end of a long journey across the Pacific, a ship catches sight of California.

A family of intellectuals comes apart at the seams during the 1968 student revolts in Paris The Parisian student revolts of May 1968 shook the country—and the European continent—to its foundations. In a tradition-obsessed nation where the old-guard bourgeoisie had spent decades oppressing youthful unrest, every flavor of rage suddenly had a voice. Hill Gallagher is there—a brash young intellectual grown tired of pretending that the world doesn't make him angry. Despite the protests of his screenwriter father, he becomes involved in the movement, joining in on protests with the fervor of a man who isn't afraid to destroy his country—or his family. In The Merry Month of May, James Jones draws on his own experiences living in Paris and witnessing the 1968 revolts firsthand to create an unforgettable portrait of a society at war with itself—and torn apart by change.

Short stories by the award-winning author of From Here to Eternity: "One of the significant writers of his generation" ( The New York Times Book Review). In his introduction to this collection of sharply crafted short stories, James Jones compares novel writing to a long-term, chronic illness. Writing short stories, he says, is like a brief, intense fever: the kind that can kill or disappear in a matter of days. Although best known for epic war novels such as From Here to Eternity and The Thin Red Line, Jones also wrote short stories, and the ones in this volume burn with deadly intensity. Besides the expected stories of the soldier's life, Jones gives us something surprising: five stories of childhood, tender and horrifying at the same time, inspired by his early life in the Depression-stricken Midwest. They and the other shorts in this volume are accompanied by author's notes, which supplement Jones's introduction, and a preface by his daughter, Kaylie Jones. This ebook features an illustrated biography of James Jones including rare photos from the author's estate.
