Divorce différé – La Saga

Dans ses pages, vous trouverez les quatre livres qui composent l'histoire complète, parmi lesquels Divorce différé, Divorce différé II Le Rêve de Berenice, Divorce différé III Le coven et Divorce différé IV La bataille des âmes. Il m'a fallu quatre ans pour écrire cette intrigante saga qui reflète la lutte éternelle entre les forces du Bien et du Mal. D'un Moyen Âge interprété et sanglant aux sociétés ésotériques du début du siècle, deux lignées vont en subir les conséquences de la découverte d'un objet maléfique dont l'influence les entraînera à leur destruction. Trahisons et intrigues, sorcellerie, satanisme, planche Ouija, médiums et un bataillon d'esprits maintiendront le lecteur dans une inquiétude continue et terrifiante. Êtes-vous allé dans un coven ? Croyez-vous au spiritualisme ? Vous y serez et vous y croirez... Dans la première partie, Beatriz, orpheline issue d'une famille aisée, rend visite à un avocat avec une demande de divorce surprenante et sombre. À partir de ce moment, une curieuse intrigue va se déchaîner avec une fin inattendue. Dans le second, nous voyagerons dans un passé proche à la rencontre de Berenice et Sofía, transformée plus tard en Madame Clerk, et de leur relation inquiétante avec les Malton. La troisième partie raconte l'origine de tout mal, à travers les aventures d'un inquisiteur sévère impliqué dans un univers cruel et turbulent.

Diário de uma Extinção - Primeiro Contato
by Isaac Barrao Claudio VazNo momento que ocorre uma tragédia, nos refugiamos em nosso entorno, a família e os amigos. Pensamos de forma inconsciente que, quando vemos notícias de um câncer que tirou a vida de um pobre menino, que sequer conhecemos, ou de um desastre natural que extirpou as ilusões de milhares de pessoas, sepultando suas frágeis vidas sob toneladas de escombros, essas coisas nunca nos atingirão. Talvez, algum tipo de sensor biológico se ative em nossa cabeça para enganar o medo. Tudo aconteceu muito depressa. Não nos demos conta e, se o fizemos, nunca movemos um dedo para detê-lo. No entanto, foi então que a submissa humanidade, enganada durante décadas por dirigentes sem escrúpulos, se desvaneceu; pelo menos, durante um tempo. Aqueles que tinham que nos proteger, amparados pela democracia, grandes homens podres de dinheiro graças ao suor amargo da população, foram os primeiros que abandonaram a Espanha. Todos sabiam. Desde o primeiro momento que transportamos, da África para Madri, o missionário espanhol infectado com ebola. Sabíamos. Não dissemos nada. Como sempre. Calamos por medo de a Europa nos tratar como se fôssemos animais sem compaixão por abandonar um dos nossos a uma morte certa, ou talvez, para tentar demonstrar, sem sucesso, o que não éramos. Manifestamos, uma vez mais, a incapacidade de nosso governo. Milhões de espanhóis estavam em suas casas, jantando com suas famílias, quando aconteceu. Aquele dia foi o princípio do fim.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?: The inspiration for the films Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 (Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? Ser.)
by Philip K. DickA masterpiece ahead of its time, a prescient rendering of a dark future, and the inspiration for the blockbuster film Blade Runner By 2021, the World War has killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending mankind off-planet. Those who remain covet any living creature, and for people who can’t afford one, companies built incredibly realistic simulacra: horses, birds, cats, sheep. They’ve even built humans. Immigrants to Mars receive androids so sophisticated they are indistinguishable from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans can wreak, the government bans them from Earth. Driven into hiding, unauthorized androids live among human beings, undetected. Rick Deckard, an officially sanctioned bounty hunter, is commissioned to find rogue androids and “retire” them. But when cornered, androids fight back—with lethal force. Praise for Philip K. Dick “The most consistently brilliant science fiction writer in the world.”—John Brunner “A kind of pulp-fiction Kafka, a prophet.”—The New York Times“[Philip K. Dick] sees all the sparkling—and terrifying—possibilities . . . that other authors shy away from.”—Rolling Stone

Do Metaphors Dream of Literal Sleep?: A Science-Fictional Theory of Representation
by Seo-Young ChuIn culture and scholarship, science-fictional worlds are perceived as unrealistic and altogether imaginary. Seo-Young Chu offers a bold challenge to this perception of the genre, arguing instead that science fiction is a form of “high-intensity realism” capable of representing non-imaginary objects that elude more traditional, “realist” modes of representation. Powered by lyric forces that allow it to transcend the dichotomy between the literal and the figurative, science fiction has the capacity to accommodate objects of representation that are themselves neither entirely figurative nor entirely literal in nature. Chu explores the globalized world, cyberspace, war trauma, the Korean concept of han, and the rights of robots, all as referents for which she locates science-fictional representations in poems, novels, music, films, visual pieces, and other works ranging within and without previous demarcations of the science fiction genre. In showing the divide between realism and science fiction to be illusory, Do Metaphors Dream of Literal Sleep? sheds new light on the value of science fiction as an aesthetic and philosophical resource—one that matters more and more as our everyday realities grow increasingly resistant to straightforward representation.
Do Nada
by Ana Bowlova Ana Claudia AntunesVersão em português de "Out Of The Blue", primeiro conto de ficção científica da autora. "Do Nada" se passa em um futuro virtual, onde não há água, não a partir de uma fonte limpa disponível no planeta Terra. A NASA envia algumas pessoas especialmente qualificadas para o espaço em busca de vida fora do planeta azul. A única coisa é que, no futuro, tudo é controlado por robôs. Então, como escapar de uma rede de dados virtuais quando alguém já está emaranhado como uma inteligência artificial? O que aconteceria se acabasse água limpa em nosso planeta? Nós, certamente precisaríamos encontrar outras formas de obter acesso ao ingrediente mais vital de vida. Um astronauta, vira a vida da Ann de cabeça para baixo quando ele se envolve em uma missão potencialmente perigosa: Ele tem que encontrar vida em outro lugar no espaço exterior. A protagonista então se encontra em um dilema crucial. Será que ela valoriza a sua vida ou ela vai dar um passo enorme e arriscar-se quando ou se ela seguir o homem dos seus sonhos para viajar a um dos lugares mais inóspitos da terra e ajudá-lo em sua busca, bem como salvar a bilhões de seres vivos? Quando ela decide fazer a viagem ao longo de galáxias, Ann reúne inúmeras experiências inesperadas, em incontáveis aventuras e em apenas um único número, ela tem de enfrentar uma verdade insuportável de trações a traições, mas nem isso a impede de prosseguir com o seu esquema, mesmo envolta em dilemas. Toda a sua vida foi um mero espelho do que passou em um mundo que não existe mais. Um mundo virtual que, apesar de todas as adversidades ainda insiste em se recriar. Será que finalmente ele cessa (ou desfalece)? Ou, como um buraco negro, vai manter seu curso, devorando todas as fontes de existência e transformando a vida em um evento fictício, usando, inventando e invertendo novos dados a partir de uma humanidade há muito tempo extinta?
