Supera gli esami per entrare nell’Accademia Militare come una delle soldatesse del “Nucleo” o “Core-Girls”, che lavorano a stretto contatto con i Piloti che comandano i Golem meccanici, rifornendoli di energia. I Golem sono dei robot umanoidi addestrati per andare in guerra che, privi dell’energia del nucleo, non possono muoversi e difendere i confini del Regno. I Piloti che li controllano sono solo maschi… Ben presto, le vite di Zima e Avril si intrecciano indissolubilmente. Riusciranno a scoprire il segreto delle sacerdotesse dagli occhi d'oro della Confederazione e la vera storia del Dio Thoth.

This book contains seven stories, of which I am the author, published in fantasy anthologies released by some publishing houses. In my opinion they are connected by a common thread. Love as an absolute feeling. I wanted to think of each story as a feather. Seven feathers, seven stories linked by a common thread: love in its many aspects. Brotherly, unfaithful, earthly, divine… Love is the force that moves the universe, no matter what form it takes. Seven feathers carried by the wind, destined to rest on the palm of your hand and then achieve the essence of dreams. You will meet wizards, witches, knights and warriors. Earthly creatures who bring the divine within themselves. You will meet the courage and the will to believe in feelings and be faithful to the feelings of your soul. The story ”Crocefissa”, (Crucified), already published in the anthology ”Storie di Immaginaria Realt? volume V” published by Giovane Holden Edizioni, was ranked second in the 2018 Streghe Vampiri & Co.

A collection of Lewis’s essays against ‘the new morality’ – a fine collection representing Lewis at his most brilliant.Published shortly after his death, aiming to make available some of his writings which were not at that time publicly accessible, and to counter the prevailing new morality of the sixties, ‘Christian Reflections’ gives a robust defence of the Christian Gospel.Now, fifty years later, when Christian communities are, in our own day, struggling to come to terms with a shifting morality, this little volume will be a comforting reminder of the never-changing truths of the faith.As ever, Lewis’s clear and eloquent mind gives plenty of food for thought, especially as he aims his intellectual ammunition at the modern myths still so prevalent in our post-modern culture.

Lewis was a most prolific letter writer and his personal correspondence reveals much of his private life, reflections, friendships and feelings. This collection, carefully chosen and arranged by Walter Hooper, is the most extensive ever published.In this great and important collection are the letters Lewis wrote to J.R.R. Tolkien, Dorothy L. Sayers, Owen Barfield, Arthur C. Clarke, Sheldon Vanauken and Dom Bede Griffiths. To some particular friends, such as Dorothy L. Sayers, Lewis wrote over fifty letters alone. The letters deal with all of Lewis’s interests: theology, literary criticism, poetry, fantasy, children’s stories as well as revealing his relationships with family members and friends.This first volume of Family Letters: 1905-1931 covers Lewis’s boyhood and early manhood, his army years, undergraduate life at Oxford and his election to a fellowship at Magdalen College. Lewis became an atheist when he was 13 years old and his dislike of Christianity is evident in many of his letters. The volume concludes with a letter describing an evening spent with J.R.R. Tolkien and Hugo Dyson when he came to see that he was wrong to think of Christianity as one of ‘many myths.’ ‘What Dyson and Tolkien showed me was that… the story of Christ is simply a true myth… but with this tremendous difference that it really happened.’

For the first time in a very long time, she has a future.So when another man, a cautious, subdued man, so very different from her own warm-hearted husband, drifts into Sadie’s life, she must ask herself the question: Is she ready to risk everything for the sake of love? And besides, shouldn’t affairs begin with a shiver of danger, with the thrill of the chase, rather than this?In Commencing Our Descent Suzannah Dunn proves she has unrivalled access to the most hidden, most intimate workings of our lives and longings, our marriages and affairs, our secrets and lies. Wry, sharp and witty, this is her most astute and affecting novel yet.Suzannah here combines the sharpness and tautness of her short stories with the warmth and detail of her novels, and achieves perfect balance.

Probablement, mais tout n’est pas perdu : il est possible de changer et de plaquer notre vie monotone pour en construire une nouvelle et plus int?ressante. Je l’ai fait. Vous voulez savoir comment ? Lisez ce « guide » et vous le d?couvrirez. De nos jours, les femmes qui ont atteint l’?ge fatidique de la quarantaine semblent, ? certains ?gards (relatifs ? la carri?re professionnelle et aux relations interpersonnelles) souvent plus s?res d’elles que les femmes plus jeunes. Cependant, il subsiste fondamentalement une crainte r?pandue : vieillir. L’une est terrifi?e par le vieillissement du corps, l’autre craint davantage la s?nescence de l’esprit. Souvent, ces pr?occupations li?es au vieillissement peuvent se r?percuter sur la capacit? ? g?rer une famille, le travail et ce que l’on ch?rit. Mais ce qui est plus grave encore, c’est que lorsque l’on regarde en arri?re, on s’aper?oit que l’on vit la vie d’une autre, souvent diff?rente et peu ressemblante ? celle dont on a r?v?. ? un certain moment de notre vie, nous analysons notre parcours en dressant le bilan de notre existence, tout en regardant devant nous et en nous apercevant combien la « vieillesse » est proche. Les enfants, d?sormais grands, ont moins besoin de nous. Nous nous rendons souvent compte que les ann?es sont pass?es et que nous souhaiterions r?aliser encore tant de choses, regrettant ce que nous ne pourrons plus avoir ou faire. Peut-?tre avons-nous le sentiment de ne pas avoir pris les bonnes d?cisions au cours de notre vie dans le domaine du travail, des ?tudes ou au niveau personnel, et qu’il n’est plus possible d’y rem?dier. Nous prenons alors conscience de nos erreurs. La crise qui caract?rise l’?poque historique actuelle au niveau mondial peut-elle engendrer encore plus d’incertitudes ?

Robert Maitland, a 35 year-old architect, is driving home from his London offices when a blow-out sends his speeding Jaguar hurtling out of control. Smashing through a temporary barrier he finds himself, dazed and disorientated, on a traffic island below three converging motorways. But when he tries to climb the embankment or flag-down a passing car for help it proves impossible – and he finds himself imprisoned on the concrete island. In this twisted version of ‘Robinson Crusoe’, Maitland must learn to survive – using only what he can find in his crashed car.As in all Ballard’s best work ‘Concrete Island’ provides an unnerving study of our modern lives and world. With his alienating ‘Ballardian’ view of normal events, this is a unique novel from one of our finest writers.
