￥46.36
Every action has a reaction. Every reaction has a consequence. Every consequence creates a memory.Having overcome the impossibility of time travel, Kenneth Ramsayer and his best friend exist to relive past rock ’n’ roll gigs. Everything is going well; they’ve become heroes, they’ve discovered love, they had the world by the tail, and then they ruined everything. Based on what is left of their ruined music collections, it appears that rock ’n’ roll died in 1984. Their unassailable knowledge of music, leads the boys to recall that in 1984 an unknown patron made a bootleg recording of a Replacements gig. This cassette was recovered and became the live album “The Shit Hits The Fans”. The history of rock ‘n’ roll was forever changed. Now in a viciously evil plot, a thief has absconded with the recording. But what if the death of rock ’n’ roll isn’t connected to the missing cassette? Seeking help from unlikely sources and following fading memories, the boys travel across America in a bid to save rock ’n’ roll. An intelligent satire, the second novel in the Death of Rock ’n’ Roll series, “And Then They Ruined Everything” cleverly uses the concept of time travel in a rock ’n’ roll setting as an examination of choices and the power of art in society.
L'idiota: “Un uomo positivamente buono”
￥4.66
L'idiota (in russo: Идиот, Idiot) è un romanzo di F?dor Michajlovi? Dostoevskij. Considerato uno dei massimi capolavori della letteratura russa, vuole rappresentare “un uomo positivamente buono”, un Cristo del XIX secolo. La stesura fu contemporanea all'esilio dello scrittore, dovuto ai debiti: ebbe inizio a Ginevra nel settembre del 1867, proseguì a Vevey (sul lago di Ginevra), a Milano, e terminò nel gennaio del 1869 a Firenze. Una targa al numero 18 di Piazza de' Pitti ricorda la permanenza dell'autore nel palazzo per quasi un anno. L'opera nel frattempo uscì a puntate dal 1868 sulla rivista Russkij vestnik (il Messaggero Russo), mentre fu presentata in forma unica l'anno successivo. In una lettera del 1867 indirizzata allo scrittore Apollon Nikolaevi? Majkov, Dostoevskij descrisse il nucleo poetico del romanzo a cui stava lavorando: ?Da tempo mi tormentava un’idea, ma avevo paura di farne un romanzo, perché è un’idea troppo difficile e non ci sono preparato, anche se è estremamente seducente e la amo. Quest’idea è raffigurare un uomo assolutamente buono. Niente, secondo me, può essere più difficile di questo, al giorno d’oggi soprattutto.? ? importante sottolineare come l'aggettivo "buono" usato nella lettera fosse nell'originale russo "prekrasnyi", che indica lo splendore della bellezza e della bontà insieme. L'opera ha avuto diversi adattamenti teatrali, cinematografici e televisivi. Nel corso del romanzo è più volte citato e discusso dai personaggi, il quadro di Hans Holbein il Giovane, "Il corpo di Cristo morto nella tomba". Dostoevskij aveva visto il dipinto nel 1867 a Basilea e ne era rimasto fortemente impressionato. Traduzione di Federigo Verdinois (1927). Federigo Verdinois (Caserta, 2 luglio 1844 – Napoli, 11 aprile 1927) è stato un giornalista, scrittore e traduttore italiano. F?dor Michajlovi? Dostoevskij (in russo: Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский; Mosca, 11 novembre 1821 – San Pietroburgo, 9 febbraio 1881) è stato uno scrittore e filosofo russo.? considerato, insieme a Tolstoj, uno dei più grandi romanzieri e pensatori di tutti i tempi.
Deceptions and Lies
￥24.44
One terrorist, six hostages, a single bombing…?nothing out of the ordinary for task force operatives Alexandra Lansing and Mark Praed. With one exception; this request comes from the High Council on Kyree. An appeal from Kyree for task force help is peculiar enough for a planet where non-violence is practiced by all its citizens, but the Council is very specific in their choice of task force personnel: Mark Praed. Praed is baffled by the request. This is the same planet where his birth to a well born Kyreen female caused a galactic scandal, forcing his human father to flee Kyree with his half-human infant. The operatives travel to Kyree and meet with the High Council’s leader, Dame Ruthanon. Her orders are clear: the hostages are to be released and the terrorist captured, all without the use of violence. Alex and Praed are soon caught up in something more devious than the straight-forward capture of a terrorist. Nothing is as it appears, and what should have been a simple operation turns into a tangled mess of falsehoods, secret associations and hidden agendas.

Time — the not too distant future — Post Apocalypse. Place — a world not unlike our own. The tale I tell is one of woe: a war that has lasted for centuries; a war where the casualties numbered in the billions, if not more; a war that could have been avoided. God knows we tried. How many peace initiatives went unanswered? How many times did we stay our hand, refusing to attack or seek vengeance for unjust acts? But they wouldn't let us live in peace. They wouldn't let us sit idly by. A vicious race they were. Warriors to the core. A bloodthirsty, greedy race. "How did it start, Grandfather?" Ox might have shed tears if he had any. But the wars had taken so much of him: a wife, two daughters, all of his friends. "They were a relentless enemy, child. An unremitting and unforgiving foe."?
