Vida sem Princípio

Universul a nceput cu un Bang i s-a terminat cu un srut, ca toate marile iubiri“Ana Mnescu este o scriitoare tulburtor de generoas: ea nu mprtete cu cititorii doar ceea ce este la suprafa, explicit, nedureros, blnd; i plac subteranele, ascunziurile, visele uitate, ameninrile mute, teama fiinei de ea nsi, ntunericul care are nevoie doar de o scnteie pentru a se preschimba n lumin orbitoare. i ni le ofer pe toate, cu sinceritate i o delicatee care nu se mai regsete n nicio alt carte pe care ai putea-o citi vreodat. Quasarul poate construi o lume i o poate exploda ntr-o btaie de aripi. Pentru c totul i nimicul nseamn altceva numai dup ce au fost atinse de iubire. Ana scrie despre acele clipe n care eti cel mai adevrat tu care a existat vreodat. i eti cel mai mult tu cnd eti prins n iubire, ca ntr-o capcan de soare.“ (Cristina Nemerovschi)

The Unnamable
￥9.00
"The Unnamable" is a horror short story by American author H. P. Lovecraft. It was written in September 1923, first published in the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales, and first collected in Beyond the Wall of Sleep. Carter, a weird fiction writer, who is likely the Randolph Carter who features in some of Lovecraft's other tales such as The Statement of Randolph Carter, meets with his close friend, Joel Manton, in a cemetery near an old, dilapidated house on Meadow Hill in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. As the two sit upon a weathered tomb, Carter tells Manton the tale of an indescribable entity that allegedly haunts the house and surrounding area. He contends that because such an entity cannot be perceived by the five senses, it becomes impossible to quantify and accurately describe, thus earning itself the term unnamable.

The Man with the Pan Pipes: "And Other Stories"

Then I was a little girl, which is now a good many years ago, there came to spend some time with us a cousin who had been brought up in Germany. ??She was almost grown-up—to me, a child of six or seven, she seemed quite grown-up; in reality, she was, I suppose, about fifteen or sixteen. She was a bright, kind, good-natured girl, very anxious to please and amuse her little English cousins, especially me, as I was the only girl. ??But she had not had much to do with small children; above all, delicate children, and she was so strong and hearty herself that she did not understand anything about nervous fears and fancies.
The Strange High House in the Mist

It is unaccountably high and old and the locals have a generations-long dread of the place which no one is known to have visited.

Children's Stories in American History
￥27.80
Many ages ago in North America there was no spring or summer or autumn, but only winter all the time; there were no forests or fields or flowers, but only ice and snow, which stretched from the Arctic Ocean to Maryland. Sometimes the climate would grow a little warmer, and then the great glaciers would shrink toward the north, and then again it would grow cold, while the ice crept southward; but finally it became warmer and warmer until all the southern part of the country was quite free from the ice and snow, which could then only be seen, as it is now, in the Polar regions.??Ages and ages after this, grass and trees began to ap-pear, and at last great forests covered the land, and over the fields and through the woods gigantic animals roved—strange and terrible-looking beasts, larger than any animal now living, and very fierce and strong. Among these were the mammoth and mastodon, which were so strong and ferocious that it would take hundreds of men to hunt and kill them. These great animals would go trampling through the forests, breaking down the trees and crushing the grass and flowers under their feet, or rush over the fields in pursuit of their prey, making such dreadful, threatening noises that all the other animals would flee before them, just as now the more timid animals flee from the lion or rhinoceros. ??Sometimes they would rush or be driven by men into swamps and marshes, where their great weight would sink them down so deep into the mud that they could not lift themselves out again, and then, they would die of starvation or be killed by the arrows of the men who were hunting them.??Besides these mammoths and mastodons there were other animals living in North America at that time, very different from those that are found here now. ?
The Shunned House
￥9.00
"The Shunned House" is a horror fiction novelette by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written on October 16–19, 1924. It was first published in the October 1937 issue of Weird Tales. The Shunned House of the title is based on an actual house in Providence, Rhode Island, built around 1763 and still standing at 135 Benefit Street. Lovecraft was familiar with the house because his aunt Lillian Clark lived there in 1919-20 as a companion to Mrs. H. C. Babbit. However, it was another house in Elizabeth, New Jersey that actually compelled Lovecraft to write the story.
Dorothy
￥27.80
So long a time had passed that Dorothy C. had grown to be what father John called "a baker's dozen of years old"; and upon another spring morning, as fair as that when she first came to them, the girl was out upon the marble steps, scrubbing away most vigorously. The task was known locally as "doing her front," and if one wishes to be considerable respectable, in Baltimore, one's "front" must be done every day. On Saturdays the entire marble facing of the basement must also be polished; but "pernickity" Mrs. Chester was known to her neighbors as such a forehanded housekeeper that she had her Saturday's work done on Friday, if this were possible.??Now this was Friday and chanced to be a school holiday; so Dorothy had been set to the week-end task, which she hated; and therefore she put all the more energy into it, the sooner to have done with it, meanwhile singing at the top of her voice. Then, when the postman came round the corner of the block, she paused in her singing to stare at him for one brief instant. The next she had pitched her voice a few notes higher still, and it was her song that greeted her father's ears and set him smiling in his old familiar fashion. ??Unfortunately, he had not been smiling when she first perceived him and there had been a little catch in her tones as she resumed her song. Each was trying to deceive the other and each pretending that nothing of the sort was happening.??"Heigho, my child! At it again, giving the steps a more tombstone effect? Well, since it's the fashion—go ahead!"??"I wish the man, or men, who first thought of putting scrubby-steps before people's houses had them all to clean himself! Hateful old thing!"

Poetry of the Gods
￥9.00
Poetry and the Gods is a short story by horror writer and poet H.P. Lovecraft in collaboration with writer Anna Helen Crofts. The story is very different from the vast majority of Lovecraft's other work and collaborations. It does, however, bear similar themes regarding dreams as a doorway to magic realms, and slumbering gods. The narrative follows the dream-voyage of Marcia, a young woman filled with weariness of the mundane world and all its woes. She resolves to ease her troubled soul by reading a magazine of poetry. As she does, a dream-state unfolds in which the Greek god Hermes appears and bears Marcia to the court of Zeus and the Olympians.

Português do Brasil! Eisa McCarthy vive na Cidade Califado sob o controle do grupo radical Isl?mico, o Ghuraba. Sete anos atrás, o General Mohammad bin-Rasulullah derrotou os Estados Unidos numa trai??o impiedosa e estabeleceu seu Califado mundial nas ruinas de Washington, D.C. O santo líder supremo do Ghuraba, o Abu al-Ghuraba, alega que o pai de Eisa lhe deu controle sobre o arsenal nuclear dos E.U.A, uma alega??o refor?ada pelas cinzas fumegantes de muitas cidades e o testemunho de sua m?e Síria. Mas depois que sua m?e foi acusada de apostasia, ela descobre que seu pai pode n?o ser o ‘mártir’ que o Ghuraba alega. O Ghuraba realmente possui os códigos de lan?amento para os mísseis ICBM? Ou o pai dela ‘os bloqueou’, como o Coronel Everhart, o comandante rebelde, quer que ela diga ao mundo? Se ela lutar, o Ghuraba irá matar sua irm?zinha, mas se ela n?o lutar, eventualmente o Ghuraba irá hackeá-los e bombardear a todos. Tudo o que Eisa tem é um rosário de contas mu?ulmano e o mito pré-Isl?mico que seu pai lhe contou na noite em que ele desapareceu. O destino do mundo, e a seguran?a de sua irm?zinha, est?o na balan?a enquanto Eisa vasculha mitos antigos, sua fé mu?ulmana, e o que realmente aconteceu na noite em que o Ghuraba tomou o controle.
