Enigmatic and sexy, Professor Gabriel Emerson is a well respected Dante specialist by day, but by night he devotes himself to an uninhibited life of pleasure. He uses his notorious good looks and sophisticated charm to gratify his every whim, but is secretly tortured by his dark past and consumed by the profound belief that he is beyond all hope of redemption.

She soon finds that being in love with David Wesley isn’t easy. Mrs. Wesley, his mother, looks down on showboat people, and showboat people, especially the talented, aloof Stephen Dubois, do not think much of farmers. But Gabrielle is determined to pursue her dream of life on land. She convinces her father to let her accept the invitation grudgingly extended by Mrs. Wesley to spend a week on the family farm. Life on the farm is not what Gabrielle had imagined. David is different, too. Has Gabrielle been dreaming of the wrong love? And is she ready to face what she really wants?

Derrière l’interprète de Je t’aime… Moi non plus, qui fit scandale et conquit la planète en 1969, se cache un Gainsbourg plus secret. C’est l’homme intime que révèle Franck Maubert, son histoire et ses goûts. Si, pour Serge Gainsbourg, il y avait les arts majeurs et les arts mineurs, il ne s’est illustré, à son grand regret, que dans la chanson. Il s’ouvrait peu sur son destin de peintre contrarié, qui a persévéré dans cette voie jusqu’en 1957, année où Boris Vian lance sa carrière. Son admiration pour les chefs-d’œuvre des maîtres suscite l’intérêt d’un jeune critique d’art, Franck Maubert. Leur rencontre les lie en 1985. Gainsbourg a trouvé à qui parler peinture, dandysme, esthétique. Ensemble ils passeront des journées chez lui, rue de Verneuil, visiteront le Louvre, feront la tournée des grands ducs… Ce livre retrace le parcours d’un artiste hors norme, qui a traversé non seulement la chanson, mais aussi l’écriture, la photographie, le cinéma. Il montre la force d’un créateur et d’un poète qui a marqué son époque et influence encore, loin des clichés, la musique d’aujourd’hui. Franck Maubert (prix Renaudot essai 2012 pour Le Dernier modèle, Mille et une nuits) est écrivain, auteur de romans (dernièrement, Ville close, Écriture, 2013) et de nombreux livres d’art (dont Maeght, une aventure de l’art vivant, avec Y. et I. Maeght, La Martinière, 2006)

A spaceship wrecked on Earth in the prehistoric days of the Folsom Man was the bait that drew an American time team back into the past. Travis Fox, a modern Apache, came along to lend them his knowledge of the ways of his ancestors against the elements and the savage beasts. But, just when their mission was nearly accomplished, an accident set off the automatic controls of that mysterious GALACTIC DERELICT and it took off for an unknown world and an unknown time. Thus began a fantastic and dangerous adventure into outer space that, before it was over, was to challenge the courage and ingenuity of Travis to the utmost. ANDRE NORTON, who sometimes writes under the name of Andrew North, is rapidly attaining a very favored status among the readers of science-fiction. It seems to be characteristic of the few women who write in this field that as a rule they are very good at it. And Andre (whose true name is Alice Mary) Norton is one of the very best. She is a native of Cleveland, Ohio, and an ardent s-f fan and collector. “All the classic elements are present in full measure in Galactic Derelict, It suffers not at all in being a sequel to Andre Norton’s excellent Time Traders. “The U.S. Army’s race with the Russians through and against Time remains Norton’s background. Both search for abandoned wrecks of a race that had interstellar travel back in Man’s infancy. “Travis Fox, Apache, joins Ross Murdock and Dr. Gordon Ashe, time agents, in attempting the transfer, intact, of an alien ship through 20,000 years to the present. Inadvertently, controls are activated and the group is launched on an involuntary galactic tour. Their efforts to return to Here and Now constitute a top-notch science-adventure yam.”

There are places in the universe where evil fears to tread… 2083 – Over a century has passed since Nazi Germany triumphed after WW2.

Forever hungry to expand their empire and seize more lebensraum, or living space, the Nazis cast their eyes towards the stars. Vanaheim, a planet light-years from Earth, is selected for colonisation. But unknown to the Nazis, something horrifying has laid a trap for them and is lying in wait…

It was the highest and most coveted award of all time. It was given to only the bravest among those defending Earth from the mysterious Kradens. Many had sacrificed their lives for it. The current bearer of the medal became the idol of all mankind—a man above the law, a man who would never want for anything. One man was going to cheat to win it—and live to regret it. This is an extended version of the novelette Medal of Honor first published in Amazing Stories magazine in Nov 1960

Gurronsevas, olbrzymi sześcionożny obcy, jest powszechnie znany jako najlepszy w Galaktyce szef kuchni. Jednak u szczytu swej kariery odkrywa, że sława, honor i armie pochlebców to za mało. Pragnie nowego wyzwania. Wyzwania na miarę wielkości swego ciała, talentu i pychy. Tylko Szpital Kosmiczny — potężny kompleks, w którym leczą i są leczeni zarówno ludzie, jak i obcy — pozwala na realizację takich marzeń. Gurronsevas, obecnie Naczelny Dietetyk, postanawia zrobić coś, co nie udało się przed nim żadnemu kucharzowi: chce sprawić, by szpitalne jedzenie było smaczne. Tylko czy pacjenci to przeżyją?

Dans le numéro spécial de Lire (plus de 800 pages) qu'il a consacré à San-Antonio et qui s'intitule : SAN-ANTONIO, son vit, son œuvre, Bernard Pivot a écrit dans sa brillante introduction que San-Antonio était le plus grand écrivain de langue française après Shakespeare. Le célèbre journaliste, monarque incontesté de la littérature actuelle, vient de nous adresser un rectificatif pour nous dire sa crainte de voir cet « après » mal interprété et créer une notion de subalternité dont San-Antonio aurait à souffrir par rapport à Shakespeare ; il préférerait substituer à son « après » la préposition « depuis », qu'il juge moins équivoque. Nous le remercions pour sa grande probité morale et espérons que le présent ouvrage renforcera encore son admiration pour l'immense écrivain

Galatea may seem strange Cain to those who link him with California and violent stories out of the West. But to those who knew him earlier, particularly his origins in Annapolis and his life in the counties near by, it will hardly come as a surprise. Cain returned to southern Maryland to find it startlingly changed. Cogitating this transformation from oxcarts, scrub woods, and plug tobacco to grand boulevards, lumber, and big auction rooms, he found himself inventing a novel about it. The result is Galatea, the story of Holly Valenty, a girl who is a product of the old dispensation, but who succumbs to the temptations of the new, a story with all the Cain magic — brutal, shocking, yet tender and believable

After four novels and several years living abroad, the fictional protagonist of Galatea 2.2—Richard Powers — returns to the United States as Humanist-in-Residence at the enormous Center for the Study of Advanced Sciences. There he runs afoul of Philip Lentz, an outspoken cognitive neurologist intent upon modeling the human brain by means of computer-based neural networks. Lentz involves Powers in an outlandish and irresistible project: to train a neural net on a canonical list of Great Books. Through repeated tutorials, the device grows gradually more worldly, until it demands to know its own name, sex, race, and reason for exisiting

For all lovers of maritime adventure comes an electrifying thriller of treachery and peril on the high seas featuring a dynamic new heroine, from multi-award-nominated suspense star Owen Laukkanen. In the high-stakes world of deep-sea salvage, an ocean disaster can mean a huge payoff—if you can survive the chase. McKenna Rhodes has never been able to get the sight of her father’s death out of her mind. A freak maritime accident has made her the captain of the salvage boat Gale Force, but it’s also made her cautious, sticking closer to the Alaska coastline. She and her crew are just scraping by, when the freighter Pacific Lion, out of Yokohama, founders two hundred miles out in a storm. This job is their last chance—but there is even more at stake than they know. Unlisted on any manifest, the Lion’s crew includes a man on the run carrying fifty million dollars in stolen Yakuza bearer bonds. The Japanese gangsters want the money. The thief’s associates want the money. Another salvage ship, far bigger and more powerful than Gale Force, is racing to the rendezvous as well. And the storm rages on. If McKenna can’t find a way to prevail, everything she loves–the ship, her way of life, maybe even her life itself–will be lost. Filled with bravery, betrayal, sudden twists, and pure excitement, Gale Force is a spectacular new adventure from the fast-rising suspense star

Because the cause of the quake is unlike anything Joanne has ever encountered — and a power even the Djinn cannot perceive

1800 — Der Krieg England gegen Napoleon droht auf Dänemark überzugreifen. Konteradmiral Richard Bolitho operiert deshalb mit seinem Geschwader in der Ostsee, und zwar zugleich gegen Dänen, Russen und Franzosen.

Zhang Jie trata en sus libros problemas de actualidad como la corrupción, la burocracia o los cambios económicos, con unos principios literarios que no están en realidad muy lejanos del realismo y el didactismo que imperaba en la China maoísta. Una de sus novelas más representativas es Galera (Fang zhou), crónica de tres mujeres mayores 40 años en la China de finales del siglo XX las tres marcadas por el divorcio y por un entorno que a pesar de los cambios revolucionarios y de las reformas modernizadoras sigue siendo hostil a la mujer que escapa a los papeles tradicionales familiares. Lo que salva una literatura como la de Zhang Jie, que tiene todos los números para convertirse en un aburrido excurso sociológico, es la gracia sutil de una escritura aferrada a las pequeñas cosas y a la vida cotidiana. El feminismo de manual queda atemperado por la capacidad de dar vida al mundo que recrea

E quando scatta il colpo di fulmine tra Rachel e Galilee, i discendenti delle due dinastie, gli antichi rancori riemergono scatenando una travolgente guerra dei mondi attraverso il Tempo e lo Spazio.

At the heart of a provocative narrative that stretches from Renaissance Italy to the moons of Jupiter is the father of modern science: Galileo Galilei. To the inhabitants of the Jovian moons, Galileo is a revered figure whose actions will influence the subsequent history of the human race. From the summit of their distant future, a charismatic renegade named Ganymede travels to the past to bring Galileo forward in an attempt to alter history and ensure the ascendancy of science over religion. And if that means Galileo must be burned at the stake, so be it. From Galileo's heresy trial to the politics of far-future Jupiter, Kim Stanley Robinson illuminates the parallels between a distant past and an even more remote future--in the process celebrating the human spirit and calling into question the convenient truths of our own moment in time

McGuane's people are seekers, beguiled by the land's beauty and myth, compelled by the fantasy of what a locale can offer, forced to reconcile dream and truth

A century has now gone by, yet the Gallipoli campaign of 1915-16 is still infamous as arguably the most ill conceived, badly led and pointless campaign of the entire First World War. The brainchild of Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, following Turkey’s entry into the war on the German side, its ultimate objective was to capture the Gallipoli peninsula in western Turkey, thus allowing the Allies to take control of the eastern Mediterranean and increase pressure on the Central Powers to drain manpower from the vital Western Front

Книга состоит из статей, опубликованных автором с марта по июнь 2022 года, и является продолжением книги «Gambetto Украиной». В книге даётся геополитический, политтехнологический анализ хода СВО ВС РФ на Украине

Сложная геополитическая борьба вокруг Украины, навязанная России англосаксами, вступила в завершающую фазу. Стратегия США сведена к использованию антироссийского потенциала Украины в целях значительного ослабления России, а с помощью разрушения мировых хозяйственных связей к ослаблению также Китая и Европейского союза. В гибридной войне англосаксов против РФ свою отдельную роль играет Великобритания. В книге изложены военные, геополитические, финансовые аспекты противостояния России и коллективного Запада и перспективы проведения СВО ВС РФ на Украине, способы наказания Британии за её роль в затягивании конфликта. Рассмотрена также перспектива образования нового государства — Киевской Руси и легитимные основания подключения соседних стран к процессу денацификации Украины
