She’s also about to become the ruler of Tiadun.

Priestess of the Dragons' Temple

Once, Iola flew with a dragon. If she can become ambassadress to the dragons' realm, she might fly again, but first she must navigate life as an ordinary priestess. She’s wholly devoted to the dragons, but some of her fellow priestesses are dragon-blind and corrupt. Worse, they think that Iola’s devotions are actually just a sign of greed. The ambassadress returns from the dragons’ realm, too sick to fly again. Iola might have a chance to take her place, but her rival, Tiagasa, was raised in a prince's palace. Tiagasa thrives on political intrigue and gossip, and her lover is about to become governor of the city. Iola’s few friends and allies aren't much more savvy than she is. Still, they hope to persuade the new governor to make Iola ambassadress so that the temple cam be a true sanctuary of the dragons for a few years more.
Little Red Riding Hood

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD from "Brothers Grimm" ONCE upon a time... in the middle of a thick forest stood a small cottage, the home of a pretty little girl known to everyone as Little Red Riding Hood. One day, her Mummy waved her goodbye at the garden gate, saying, "Grandma is ill. Take her this basket of cakes, but be very careful. Keep to the path through the wood and don't ever stop. That way, you will come to no harm." Little Red Riding Hood kissed her mother and ran off. "Don't worry", she said, "I'll run all the way to Grandma's without stopping". Full of good intensions, the little girl made her way through the wood, but she was soon to forget her mother's wise words. "What lovely strawberries! And so red..."

The Caliphate: A post-apocalyptic suspense novel
¥32.62
Eisa McCarthy lives in Caliphate City under the control of the radical Islamic group, the Ghuraba. Seven years ago General Mohammad bin-Rasulullah defeated the United States in a ruthless betrayal and set up their worldwide Caliphate in the ruins of Washington, D.C. The Ghuraba's supreme holy leader, the Abu al-Ghuraba, claims Eisa's father gave him control of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, a claim bolstered by the smoldering ashes of many cities and her Syrian-born mother's testimony. But after her mother is accused of apostasy, she learns her father may not be the 'martyr' the Ghuraba claim. Do the Ghuraba really possess the launch codes for the ICBM missiles? Or did her father 'lock them out' as Colonel Everhart, the rebel commander, wants her to tell the world? If she fights, the Ghuraba will kill her little sister, but if she doesn't, eventually the Ghuraba will hack in and nuke them all. All Eisa has are a string of Muslim prayer beads and a pre-Islamic myth her father told her the night he disappeared. The fate of the world, and her little sister's life, hang in the balance as Eisa sorts through ancient myth, her Muslim faith, and what really happened the night the Ghuraba seized control."The parallels the author draws between the current landscape in Syria and Iraq and a future United States are unsettling, as they portray present-day atrocities with unflinching accuracy…" —Dale Amidei, Jon's Trilogy
The Conquest of Canaan
¥9.00
Newton Booth Tarkington (July 29, 1869 – May 19, 1946) was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his novels The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams. He is one of only three novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner and John Updike.
The Beautiful Lady
¥9.00
"The Beautiful Lady", is another of the short novels from Booth Tarkington's early career. It was originally published in two parts, December of 1904 and January of 1905, in "Harper's Magazine", and then as Tarkington's fifth book in May of 1905. As with many of Tarkington's other works, it is a bit too predictable, though in this case that doesn't detract too much from the story. The story appears to sets up a love triangle (or in this case it may be a love square), but it does deviate from that a bit. The story is told from the point of the Italian, Ansolini from Naples, living in Paris who due to being down on his luck is forced into a most embarrassing position of acting as a billboard by shaving his head and having an advertisement for a show placed on the back of his bald head. It is while performing this job, that he nearly meets the "beautiful lady", though he keeps his head down and sees only her feet and the hem of her skirt and hears her lovely voice as it has sympathy for his plight. In fact, Ansolini's feelings are appreciative of her beautiful soul, and not that of romance.

Whatever they wish whether it's to fly like a bird, live in a mighty castle, or have an immense fortune --something goes terribly wrong, hilariously wrong.

Five Children and It is one of E. Nesbit's most beloved tales of enchantment.
Rhythms: A speculative short story collection
¥23.14
The rhythm of life is everywhere. It is in the shared and natural experience of our heartbeats and the high and low tides of our oceans. The turning of our planet brings the rhythm of its seasons. Orbits of distant moons and planets within a multitude of galaxies intertwine and create waves of rhythms that have impacts we do not consciously acknowledge. In the same way, every decision one makes creates a new blip in the rhythm of that life, and in turn, in the rhythms of many lives. This collection of seven speculative fiction stories explores the rhythms of life both external and internal on our planet and in other places in the universe. From identifying a single individual’s challenges with identity to that of a supernatural being whose sole purpose is to embed its soul into the experiences of all people, each story asks you to question what you see, who you are, and how to think outside of your personal experience. If you are able to adapt to a new rhythm, you will be given a chance to do more than survive. You will find a way to thrive. Included titles: “Alienation” “Identity Crisis” “The Conscript” “Pop!” “The Payment” “The Vow” “The Beckoning”

El Califato: una novela de suspenso post-apocalíptica: (Edición espa?ola)
¥32.62
Eisa McCarthy, de dieciséis a?os,vive en la Ciudad del Califato, la cual está bajo el control del grupo radical islámico de los Ghuraba. Siete a?os atrás, el general Mohammad bin-Rasulullah derrotó a Estados Unidos mediante una despiadada traición y estableció su Califato mundial en las ruinas de Washington, D.C. El líder supremo de los Ghuraba, el Abu al-Ghuraba, afirma que el padre de Eisa le dio el control del arsenal nuclear de los EE.UU., una afirmación reforzada por las cenizas ardientes de muchas ciudades y el testimonio de su madre siria. Sin embargo, después de que su madre es acusada de apostasía, Eisa se entera de que su padre puede no ser el "mártir" que los Ghuraba afirman. ?Realmente poseen los Ghuraba los códigos de lanzamiento de los misiles balísticos intercontinentales (ICBM)? ?Los "bloqueó" su padre, tal como el Coronel Everhart, el comandante del grupo rebelde, quiere que ella le diga al mundo? Si Eisa lucha, los Ghuraba matarán a su peque?a hermana, pero si no lo hace, eventualmente el grupo hackeará el sistema y lanzará los misiles. Todo lo que Eisa tiene es un rosario de oración musulmán y un mito preislámico que su padre le relató la noche que desapareció. El destino del mundo y la vida de su hermana peque?a, cuelgan en una balanza, mientras Eisa busca la verdad entre un mito antiguo, su fe musulmana y lo que realmente ocurrió la noche que los Ghuraba tomaron el control."El paralelismo que la autora describe entre el paisaje actual en Siria e Irak y un futuro Estados Unidos es inquietante, ya que retrata las atrocidades actuales con una precisión inquebrantable..." —Dale Amidei, La Trilogía de Jon

Caragiale a delimitat si impus teritoriul dramaturgiei romanesti cu numai cinci piese patru comedii si o drama scrise pe durata a doar unsprezece ani. Timp de un secol si peste trei decenii cat a trecut pana astazi de la prima lectura publica a Noptii furtunoase cea dintai dintre marile lui piese perimetrul problematic de viziune stilistic si tipologic al teatrului romanesc atat in registrul comediei cat si in cel al dramei fie aceasta ?de idei“ fantastica ori mitologizanta a ramas cel stabilit de Caragiale. Pentru literatura dramatica romaneasca el a avut si are acelasi rol ca in literatura franceza Corneille Racine si Molière laolalta. I-a fixat pentru eternitate probabil tiparele si ?ntinderea specificul si frontierele. MIRCEA IORGULESCU
