<p> Best remembered for penning the screenplay for the classic film „King Kong”, author Edgar Wallace was an astoundingly popular luminary in the action-adventure genre in the early twentieth century. Wallace was a very prolific writer despite his sudden death at age 56. In total Wallace is credited with over 170 novels, almost 1,000 short stories, and 18 stage plays. Wallace’s works have been turned into well over 100 films. This traditional mystery features a girl with an unusual name, some mysterious tramps, gangsters and villainous members of British upper class. „The Road to London” is a story packed with intrigue, treachery, assassinations, and machinations, and it highlights Wallace’s unmatched skill in setting a pulse-pounding pace. Highly recommended!</p>

'It is impossible not to be thrilled by Edgar Wallace.' So said the blurbs of Wallace's own books. Indeed, he was a prolific author of over 170 books, translated into more than thirty languages. More films were made from his books than any other twentieth-century writer, and in the 1920s a quarter of all books read in England were written by him. His success is written in black and white, but his life got off to an inauspicious start. Edgar Wallace, the illegitimate son of a travelling actress, rose from poverty in Victorian England to become the most popular author in the world and a global celebrity of his age. Famous for his thrillers, with their fantastic plots, in many ways Wallace did not write his most exciting story: he lived it, and here Neil Clark eloquently tells his tale to allow you to live it too.

In 170 kurz gefassten Gedanken werden entlang des modernen Verständnisses des Prinzips Leistung, dessen Schattenseiten und Glanz beleuchtet. Dabei bringt sich allmählich eine alternative Möglichkeit zum Erhalt eines hohen und wachsenden kulturellen Niveaus ins Gespräch. Dass die Moderne und ihr führendes Prinzip blinde Flecken zeigen, ermöglicht den Ausblick zur Weiterentwicklung jenes leistungsbezogenen Selbstverständnisses. Ein Nachwort ergänzt den Text und erläutert den Grundgedanken.

El libro aborda el aparataje institucional constituido para seleccionar a los postulantes a la universidad, investigando los procesos y redes de trasfondo que le han ido dando forma a través de una historia de 170 años. Aborda tanto las luchas y controversias públicas como el oscuro trabajo institucional de mantención y reparación de instrumentos y procedimientos, especialmente frente a los desbordes que han ocurrido. En el texto se presentan las tensiones en el proceso, el rol de los expertos y autoridades universitarias, y los cambios ocurridos, buscando explicar fenómenos como la larga permanencia de la PAA, la mantención de una prueba tan cuestionada como la PSU y la inercia institucional para emprender cambios. Plantea, finalmente, interrogantes sobre el futuro que ahora se abre con la PAES.
