Fior di Loto
by António AlmasCosa sarebbe la vita se il suo scopo fosse la morte? Varrebbe la pena soffrire, star male? Ma la vita è soprattutto una passeggiata, una lunga lezione che ci permette di crescere e superare, ad ogni occasione una sfida, ad ogni fallimento la volontà di rialzarsi e di essere ancora vivo. L’amore è l’anello che ci connette da una vita all’altra, un ponte che si estende oltre la nebbia, e la morte è solo la nostra capacità di affrontare questa barriera che separa i mondi. Saltiamo nell’abisso con la certezza che dall’altra parte c’è molto di più da vivere.

È davvero lui l'assassino? Cosa nasconde il suo sguardo? I dubbi iniziano ad insinuarsi nella sua mente, e assolutamente niente è come dovrebbe essere. Inizia un frenetico viaggio alla scoperta della verità nascosta, insieme a Dunham, un cacciatore solitario. I segreti cominceranno a svelarsi, i sentimenti a fiorire, e il sangue a correre...

Fire. (Outspoken Authors)
by Elizabeth HandThe title story, "Fire." written especially for this volume, is a harrowing postapocalyptic adventure in a world threated by global conflagration. Based on Hand's real-life experience as a participant in a governmental climate change think tank, it follows a ragtag cadre of scientists and artists racing to save both civilization and themselves from fast-moving global fires. "The Woman Men Couldn't See" is an expansion of Hand's acclaimed critical assessment of author Alice Sheldon, who wrote award-winning SF as "James Tiptree, Jr." in order to conceal identity from both the SF community and her CIA overlords. Another nonfiction piece, "Beyond Belief" recounts her difficult passage from alienated teen to serious artist. Also included are "Kronia," a poignant time-travel romance, and "The Saffron Gatherers," two of Hand's favorite and less familiar stories. Plus: a bibliography and our candid and illuminating Outspoken Interview with one of today's most inventive authors.

Fire and Snow: Climate Fiction from the Inklings to Game of Thrones (SUNY Press Open Access)
by Marc DiPaoloFellow Inklings J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis may have belonged to different branches of Christianity, but they both made use of a faith-based environmentalist ethic to counter the mid-twentieth-century's triple threats of fascism, utilitarianism, and industrial capitalism. In Fire and Snow, Marc DiPaolo explores how the apocalyptic fantasy tropes and Christian environmental ethics of the Middle-earth and Narnia sagas have been adapted by a variety of recent writers and filmmakers of "climate fiction," a growing literary and cinematic genre that grapples with the real-world concerns of climate change, endless wars, and fascism, as well as the role religion plays in easing or escalating these apocalyptic-level crises. Among the many other well-known climate fiction narratives examined in these pages are Game of Thrones, The Hunger Games, The Handmaid's Tale, Mad Max, and Doctor Who. Although the authors of these works stake out ideological territory that differs from Tolkien's and Lewis's, DiPaolo argues that they nevertheless mirror their predecessors' ecological concerns. The Christians, Jews, atheists, and agnostics who penned these works agree that we all need to put aside our cultural differences and transcend our personal, socioeconomic circumstances to work together to save the environment. Taken together, these works of climate fiction model various ways in which a deep ecological solidarity might be achieved across a broad ideological and cultural spectrum.This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to Knowledge Unlatched—an initiative that provides libraries and institutions with a centralized platform to support OA collections and from leading publishing houses and OA initiatives.
