Auszug: ...Meeres erstreckte, waren die Parner, wie alle Hyrkanier, zu grossem Reichthum gelangt, sodass noch Ammianus Marcellinus im 5. Jahrh. n. Chr., Lib. XXIII, cap. 6 berichtet: (Hyrcani) marinis mercibus plerique show more sustentantur. Noch im 13. Jahrh. n. Chr. war die Stadt Amol nach der Chronik von Tabrestan (Tarikh i Tabrestan) der Marktort fur die Waaren des Aufgangs und des Untergangs der Sonne. Die Kaufleute der Russen und Bulgaren, die von Irak, Scham (Syrien) und Khorasan, brachten und kauften dort ihre Waaren, selbst von den Grenzen Hindostans her wurde der Platz besucht. Da war kein Mangel." Ritter, Asien, Bd. VIII, pag. 541. Deshalb heissen dann auch die Pani in Rigv. IV, 25, 7 zwar reich, revan, aber da sie keine Soma-Opfer darbringen (asunvan), sind sie eben doch geizig. Die vollstandigste Beschreibung der Pani giebt Rigv.

Death of a Ghost--fraudulent handling of painter's work after his death leads to murder. Flowers for the Judge--member of prominent publishing house is killed and junior framed for the murder. Campion discovers real killer and solves mystery of a partner who disappeared 20 years earlier. Dancers in Mourning--blackmail leads to death that is not a murder and then a bombing. Campion is wrong about culprit.
Excellent Golden Age tales.
One of the best mystery writers ever!

Margery Allingham, one of England's leading mystery writers, was born on May 20, 1904, in Ealing, a western suburb of London, but grew up in a remote village in Essex. Both of her parents were writers, and Margery carried on that tradition when she sold her first short story as an eight-year-old. At the Regent Street Polytechnic, she continued show more writing and studied drama and speech. While there, she wrote a verse play, Dido and Aeneas, in which she had a starring role during performances in London. At age 19, Allington published her first novel, Blackkerchief Dick. She wrote another novel, The White Cottage Mystery, before creating her most famous character, Albert Campion, in The Black Dudley Murder (published in England as The Crime at Black Dudley) in 1929. Allington went on to create twenty-eight more Campion mysteries, including several collections. She wrote more than 10 other novels, some under the pseudonym Maxwell March, as well as four novellas and sixty-four short stories. During World War II, Allingham served as First Aid Commandant for her district, organized the billeting and care of evacuees from London, and allowed her house to be turned into a temporary military base for eight officers and two hundred men of the Cameronians. The war greatly deepened Allingham's passion for her country, as evidenced in her later works. Allingham died of cancer on June 30, 1966. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
