Luce di Drago
by Dusty Lynn Holloway Silvia Dalla Zanna“Suspance, romanticismo, amore, avventura, fantasia, è tutto lì. . . Ti attira e non ti lascia più andare”. Anonimo All’improvviso si ritrovò lontano dal mondo sommerso, in un luogo che esisteva soltanto nel fuoco. La pressione era squisita, le toglieva il respiro e la vita. Il magma eruttava da fontane ruggenti, ricadendole tutto attorno, toccando l’orlo del suo semplice vestito bianco e bruciandolo fino a ridurlo in cenere. Ben presto anche le scarpe che indossava bruciarono, lasciandola solo con la sua pelle pallida. Avanzò con decisione entrando nel più ampio dei fiumi di magma, attraversandolo fino a raggiungerne il centro. Il magma si sollevava proprio sotto di lei, salendo lentamente sulla sua pelle, come se una forza più grande di quella proveniente dal centro della terra lo attirasse. Continuò a salire fino a ricoprirla completamente, poi si raffreddò rapidamente, racchiudendola in una roccia nera e liscia. Non c’era più aria. Né pensiero. Né luce. Solo l’istinto. Una luce bianco dorata fuoriuscì dalla punta delle sue dita penetrando nel magma, rompendo la pietra nera, facendo brillare radiosamente quel fuoco ribollente. Si espanse velocemente attraverso il fiume nel qual si trovava, poi proseguì verso l’esterno, trasformando rapidamente l’intera rete di fiumi, rivoli, cascate e oceani di fuoco, fino a che tutto si accese di quella sua luce bianco dorata. Terzo libro dell'esplosiva serie di Cronache di Luce ed Ombra! Mentre si avvicinano i giorni della battaglia finale, vecchie alleanze si ritrovano, nuove alleanze vengono rafforzate ed il loro mondo di mutevole luce e oscurità si apre alla speranza, mentre il numero dei Luminari e di quelli che seguono il Re Drago Cerralys si infittisce e si fa più forte. Poi all’improvviso accade l’impensabile, Auri scopre un segreto così grande da scuotere tutto il suo mondo. Tutto ciò che è. Prima che arrivi la fine, prima che

Lucifer: El primer ángel
by Marcelo HipólitoPara la creación del épico Lucifer: El primer ángel, el escritor Marcelo Hipólito realizó una extensa y detallada investigación basada en descubrimientos arqueológicos y en las enseñanzas del Taoísmo, Budismo, las creencias judío-cristianas, el Islamismo, Brahmanismo, entre otras creencias y filosofías milenarias. Desde el surgimiento de Dios a la ruina de toda la existencia, Lucifer, el primer ángel revela la verdadera naturaleza del Bien y el Mal, el sentido de la vida y de la muerte y que, incluso en el infierno es posible encontrar honor y sacrificio. Hipólito llena las lagunas narrativas milenarias que envuelven a Dios y a Lucifer, combinando imaginación y realismo, en un esfuerzo por reunir todas las incontables—y, muchas veces, conflictivas—versiones de esas leyendas en un único libro.

Lucky Alan
by Jonathan LethemThe incomparable Jonathan Lethem returns with nine stories that demonstrate his mastery of the short form.Jonathan Lethem's third collection of stories uncovers a father's nervous breakdown at SeaWorld in "Pending Vegan"; a foundling child rescued from the woods during a blizzard in "Traveler Home"; a political prisoner in a hole in a Brooklyn street in "Procedure in Plain Air"; and a crumbling, haunted "blog" on a seaside cliff in "The Dreaming Jaw, The Salivating Ear." Each of these locates itself in Lethem-land, which can be discovered only by visiting. As in his celebrated novels, Lethem finds the uncanny lurking in the mundane, the irrational self-defeat seeping through our upstanding pursuits, and the tragic undertow of the absurd world(s) in which we live. Devoted fans of Lethem will recognize familiar themes: the anxiety of influence taken to reductio ad absurdum in "The King of Sentences"; a hapless, horny outsider summoning bravado in "The Porn Critic"; characters from forgotten comics stranded on a desert island in "Their Back Pages." As always in Lethem, humor and poignancy work in harmony, humans strive desperately for connection, words find themselves misaligned to deeds, and the sentences are glorious.From the Hardcover edition.
