Cronache di Galadria I - L’Altro Mondo
by David Gay-Perret Annalisa BlèChe cosa succede quando un uomo riesce a relizzare un sogno? Perde ogni motivo per andare avanti o al contrario utilizza questo sogno come fonte di incoraggiamento e d'ispirazione per realizzare altri sogni, forse ancora più grandi? Sono queste le domande chesi pone Glaide, un adolescente di 17 anni, discreto e filosofo, la cui unica ragione di vita è la speranza di relizzare il proprio sogno: andare su un Altro Mondo... Un mondo di misteri, di battaglie epiche e di avventure. E' per questo che quando un giorno un mostro appare davanti ai suoi occhi e prende le sue amiche Gwenn e Emily, lui non esita a gettarsi nella mischia assieme al suo eterno complice Jérémy, spinto dalla gioia e dall'eccitazione all'idea che le sue preghiere siano finalmente state ascoltate... Un uomo anziano, uno sconosciuto informerà il gruppo del fatto che è giunto il momento di recarsi a Galadria : un altro mondo in cui la magia e i mostri regnano sovrani. Le due ragazze sono delle Maggs, delle maghe bianche delle quali Galadria ha una grande necessità e la cui sopravvivenza è assicurata da dei Protettori, ruolo che spetta ai due ragazzi. Ma appena gli adolescenti scoprono questa nuova terra, la loro guida perde la vita, lasciandoli soli e spaesati... Annunciati come semplici Maggs e Protettori, i quattro amici scopriranno molto presto che sono sia attesi che perseguitati. Di volta in volta vengono accolti, protetti, poi braccati, perseguitati, e finiranno per chiedersi se l'accanimento col quale i loro nemici, che non conoscono, cercano di uccidere Glaide non nasconda qualcosa. La loro avventura alla ricerca di risposte, li porterà a scoprire questa terra così incredibile, i suoi abitanti, le sue città, ma anche i mali che la affliggono, e il ruolo che essi hanno in tutto questo. E' allora che i suoi compagni cercano disperatamente un mezzo per tornare a casa, rifiutando la responsabilità troppo pesante che grava su di loro e, scappando da
Cronache di Galadria II - Incontri
by David Gay-Perret Annalisa BlèGlaide e i suoi compagni, giunti a Galadria qualche settimana prima per opera del Sorvegliante, si trovano nel bel mezzo della tormenta...Persino per Glaide, eccitato per quest'avventura e stupito da tutto ciò che lo circonda, diventa difficile conservare il proprio ottimismo di fronte alla situazione che deve affrontare e alle scelte che essa impone: Baras lo cerca, rade al suolo una delle città delle Terre Conosciute, e persino la capitale Shinozuka, che sembrava essere in pace, ora non sembra più così sicura. La conclusione si presenta da sé: se vuole proteggere i suoi amici e avere almeno una possibilità per assumere quel ruolo di Distruttore che gli si attribuisce senza che nessuno sia però in grado di spiegargli di cosa si tratta, il giovane deve trovare il Maestro dell'Iretane, da solo. Inizia allora un viaggio dalla destinazione sconosciuta che lo porta a incontrare diversi abitanti di quel mondo: creature leggendarie, rappresentanti di altre razze, amici o nemici...Capirà ben presto chi deve ignorare e anche che trovare la persona che sta cercando, significa vagare per l'immensità delle Terre Conosciute, circondato solo dalla solitudine, dal dubbio e dalla paura, sperando di scoprire un segnale che lo guidi, visto che dovrà essere il più discreto possibile. Ormai solo lungo il suo cammino, alla ricerca di un eremita in un mondo che conosce appena, Glaide può contare solo sulla sua gioia di essere lì dove ha sempre sognato di essere, e gli incontri che farà, cambieranno la sua percezione di Galadria... ****** Le « Cronache di Galadria » raccontano la storia di Glaide, un ragazzo che realizza il proprio sogno andando in un Altro Mondo, e quindi il racconto mostra quello che gli succede e come egli affronta gli eventi, ma anche il suo modo di pensare. Questo permette di comprendere che cosa lo guida, da dove provengono i suoi dubbi e la sua forza e lo rende un personaggio col quale è facile identificarsi.
Cronache di Galadria III - Insegnamenti
by David Gay-Perret Annalisa BlèDopo aver vagato, fatto diversi incontri per i quali è ancora difficile stabilire le conseguenze, dopo aver trovato quello che cercava e aver trascorso vari mesi sotto la sua tutela, Glaide è ormai capace di maneggiare la spada e la sua saggezza è aumentata. Tuttavia niente si acquisisce senza la pratica e il giovane deve apprendere altre cose di Galadria se vuole assumere il ruolo che gli si attribuisce. E' per queste ragioni che Kezthrem decide di partire col suo discepolo per dirigersi verso il confine delle Terre Conosciute, verso un luogo dimenticato da tutti... Inizia quindi un nuovo viaggio che ha una destinazione misteriosa. Alle conoscenze teoriche e accademiche che il giovane spera di trovare nel raggiungere la sua meta, si aggiungono gli insegnamenti più umani e personali quando il maestro e il discepolo si apprestano a incontrare diverse persone soggette ai tormenti di quel mondo...Siccome i mesi precedenti hanno portato Glaide a percepire Galadria in un modo più giusto che va oltre il sogno diventato realtà, alla luce di quella lucidità di nuovo acquisita, gli incontri che farà gli daranno un'altra prospettiva riguardo l'importanza e l'impatto della ricerca del Distruttore... E mentre Glaide continua ad assaporare ogni istante della vita nell'Altro Mondo, si rende anche conto della grandezza della sua missione e comincia a vedere la situazione con gli occhi di un abitante di Galadria, insegnamenti che sono necessari per prendere decisioni più ovvie e pertinenti. ****** Le « Cronache di Galadria » raccontano la storia di Glaide, un ragazzo che realizza il proprio sogno andando in un Altro Mondo, e quindi il racconto mostra quello che gli succede e come egli affronta gli eventi, ma anche il suo modo di pensare. Questo permette di comprendere che cosa lo guida, da dove provengono i suoi dubbi e la sua forza e lo rende un personaggio col quale è facile identificarsi. Le « Cronache di Galadria » propon
Cronache di Gladria IV - Spensieratezza
by David Gay-Perret Annalisa BlèTerminato il suo apprendistato, Glaide parte alla ricerca dei suoi amici. Lungo la strada aiuterà diverse persone, ad esempio una sconosciuta che riaccompagnerà alla propria casa, e si allontanerà un po' dalla sua ricerca. Felice di essere a Galadria e cosciente della realtà che lo circonda, trasformerà questo viaggio in un momento di spensieratezza...

Crooked
by Austin GrossmanRichard Milhous Nixon lived one of the most improbable lives of the twentieth century. Our thirty-seventh president's political career spanned the button-down fifties, the Mad Men sixties, and the turbulent seventies. He faced down the Russians, the Chinese, and ultimately his own government. The man went from political mastermind to a national joke, sobbing in the Oval Office, leaving us with one burning question: how could he have lost it all? Here for the first time is the tale told in his own words: the terrifying supernatural secret he stumbled upon as a young man, the truth behind the Cold War, and the truth behind the Watergate cover-up. What if our nation's worst president was actually a pivotal figure caught in a desperate struggle between ordinary life and horrors from another reality? What if the man we call our worst president was, in truth, our greatest? In Crooked, Nixon finally reveals the secret history of modern American politics as only Austin Grossman could reimagine it. Combining Lovecraftian suspense, international intrigue, Russian honey traps, and a presidential marriage whose secrets and battles of attrition were their own heroic saga, Grossman's novel is a masterwork of alternative history, equal parts mesmerizing character study and nail-biting Faustian thriller.
