The Haitian Revolution, 1789-1804
4.0 out of 5 stars Very Thorough, Very Good Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2000 As an avid fan of Caribbean history, I claim this book to be one of the best I have ever read. It is a must for anyone interested in the Haitian Revolution on Saint Domingue. Mr. Ott thoroughly covers the revolution from start to finish. His writing style is efficient and to the point. The book analyzes the causes and effects of each stage of the revolution from every possible view point and deals in depth with the leading figures of this event. I highly recommend this book.
Saturday & the Witch Woman
On August 22, 1791, the Haitian war of independence began in flames. On that night, known as the "Night of the Fire," over 100,000 slaves rose up against their hated French overlords, burning every plantation, and executing every French man, woman, and child they could find.
Cinema panopticum
Five interlinked horror tales, told in the form of a graphic novel, follow a young girl into a booth at an amusement park called "Cinema Panopticum," an attraction that introduces her to four chilling nightmarish worlds in "The Prophet," "The Wonderpill," "La Lucha," and "The Hotel." Mature.
T. Ott's Tales of Error
A nod toward the classic horror formulas of EC Comics and the Twilight Zone, this collection contains six beautifully rendered and horrific stories, all near silent and presented in Ott's meticulous scratchboard style. 'Honeymoon', the opening story, depicts the love and happiness of Doris and Dave, who plan to be joined at the hip on their honeymoon - as Siamese twins. An unparalleled collection from one of today's preeminent horror cartoonists.

The Imperfectionists
The charming and enthralling story of an idiosyncratic English-language newspaper in Rome and the lives of its staffers as the paper fights for survival in the internet age. 'A precise, playful fiction with a deep but lightly worn intelligence' - Times Literary Supplement The newspaper was founded in Rome in the 1950s, a product of passion and a multi-millionaire's fancy. Over fifty years, its eccentricities earned a place in readers' hearts around the globe. But now, circulation is down, the paper lacks a website, and the future looks bleak. Still, those involved in the publication seem to barely notice. The obituary writer is too busy avoiding work. The editor-in-chief is pondering sleepin...
When Wall Street Met Main Street
The financial crisis that began in 2008 has made Americans keenly aware of the enormous impact Wall Street has on the economic well-being of the nation and its citizenry. How did financial markets and institutions-commonly perceived as marginal and elitist at the beginning of the twentieth century-come to be seen as the bedrock of American capitalism? How did stock investment-once considered disreputable and dangerous-first become a mass practice? Julia Ott tells the story of how, between the rise of giant industrial corporations and the Crash of 1929, the federal government, corporations, and financial institutions campaigned to universalize investment, with the goal of providing individual...
The Number
by T. Ott Forget Sin City, welcome to Swiss horror master T. Ott's first full-length graphic novel! The Number 73307-23-4156-6-96-8 is full of guilt! Desperation! Gambling! Disappearing money!

Henry-esque plot twists will delight fans of classic horror such as The Twilight Zone as well as fans of hard-boiled detective fiction by the like of Raymond Chandler.
Léger Félicité Sonthonax
Sonthonax was one of the most important leaders of the Haitian Revolution. Respected by few and hated by many, he died in his hometown of Oyonnax to which he had returned after evading the surveillance of Napoleon's police. After his death, this reputation scarcely changed; he has been rarely remembered and then unkindly. It is time, according to the author of this volume, to render justice to him.
