The devil's Mercedes : the bizarre and disturbing adventures of Hitler's limousine in America
\"In 1938, Mercedes-Benz began production of the largest, most luxurious limousine in the world. A machine of frightening power and sinister beauty, the Grosser 770K Model 150 Offener Tourenwagen was 20 feet long, seven feet wide, and tipped the scales at 5 tons. Its supercharged, 230-horsepower engine propelled the beast to speeds over 100 m.p.h. while its occupants reclined on glove-leather seats ... Armor plated and equipped with hidden compartments for Luger pistols, the 770K was a sumptuous monster with a monstrous patron: Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party ... Most of the 770Ks didn't make it out of the rubble of World War II. But several of them did. And two of them found their way ... to the United States\"--Provided by publisher.

Soukromá korespondence jako lingvistický pramen
For a long time, private correspondence has been a subject of interest for scholars from the humanities, especially for historians and literary scholars, as well as for sociologists, psychologists etc. The interest in this unique kind of material is also growing in the field of linguistics. The book represents a work of several Czech scholars who have been systematically dealing with the language of correspondence, providing new approaches to this research topic. Attention is paid especially to corpus processing of private correspondence, using these sources also for the purpose of a quantitative research of usage. Modern methodology from the fields of sociolinguistic and pragmalinguistics is used to analyse the correspondence of significant personalities from the Czech culture past, such as B. Smetana, B. Němcová, J. Neruda, and K. Čapek.
