"The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance. It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."

Mais ils constatent aussi que leur course a été déviée par leur rencontre avec le corps errant et qu'ils manqueront la Lune...

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. "O paralelo que a autora tra?a entre a paisagem atual na Síria e Iraque e um futuro Estados Unidos é inquietante, pois eles retratam as atrocidades dos dias atuais com precis?o inabalável …" —Dale Amidei, Jon's Trilogy Idioma portugues - Portuguese language

The story begins with strange lights and sounds, including blaring trumpet music, reported in the skies all over the world. The events are capped by the mysterious appearance of black flags with gold suns atop tall historic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty in New York, the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. These events are all the work of the mysterious Robur (Latin for "oak" and figuratively taken to mean "strength"), a brilliant inventor who intrudes on a meeting of a flight-enthusiast's club called the Weldon Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Eight madcap tales of unpredictable dragons — including one made of ice, another that takes refuge in the General Post Office, and a fire-breathing monster that flies out of an enchanted book and eats an entire soccer team!

Living 800 years is like the fountain of youth for some…and for others it’s worse than a death sentence. Eternity, Inc. owns a virus that allows humans to live up to 800 years–their physical bodies age only one year for every ten years of life. Miki Yokoyama leads a rebel organization known as the Agers. Her goal is to create a counter agent to reintroduce “natural” death, no matter the cost. When Eternity learns of the Ager plan, they send their best agents to infiltrate Miki’s organization and to sabotage any efforts to distribute a counter-virus. Rohin Chawla and Miki were science partners and passionate lovers when they originally discovered the Eternity virus in Antarctica two hundred years ago. But they separated as enemies. When they meet again, Rohin realizes he must rally his resources to stop the Ager virus or risk the only viable future he sees. But no one can foresee the extent human treachery will go when there are astronomical profits and world-wide political power at stake. Will Rohin and Miki combine forces against a greater evil, or fight each other over prolonged life or natural death? Their decision will determine who survives—and, ultimately, the outcome of humanity’s future.

Forgiving yourself is the first step, but helping others forgive may be just too hard. Each note Rachel Cullen plays on her violin comes straight from the heart. But life isn’t easy. A Scottish immigrant to America, she embraced the Celtic and Bluegrass communities. Unfortunately, divorce, rape and distrust leave her emotionally crippled. Can Noel Karshaw, an English teacher and poet with a young daughter, be the key to help her reconcile who she is, what she wants, and how to get there? It takes both music and words to make a love song. With Noel by her side, Rachel has a chance to be part of the family she’s always wanted—a chance to make love strong.

L'action se situe dans le Paris de la fin du XIXe siècle, après la Commune, dans un contexte politique trouble, hésitant entre les fant?mes de la première révolution, la montée du collectivisme et un modèle républicain clientéliste et conservateur. Chéri-Bibi, ancien bagnard condamné à tort, entreprend un coup d'état destiné à assainir la République et ses institutions. Il utilise pour cela un personnage - le commandant Jacques, militaire idéaliste qui s'est illustré dans une guerre récente, et dont on apprendra, au fil de multiples rebondissements qu'il est son fils. Gaston Leroux met en scène toute une galerie de personnages haut en couleurs - la belle Sonia, les tra?tres, les notables de la république, les citoyens ordinaires entra?nés malgré eux, dans un contexte détonnant où tout peut arriver - et arrive. ? la fois roman d'aventures et politique, nous sommes entra?nés dans un tourbillon d'évènements, une déclinaison de tra?trises, d'actions héro?ques, d'histoires d'amour et d'idéaux. Une description saisissante du Paris de la fin du XIXe siècle, et des couches de la population qui s'y croisent.

The Jungle Book (1894) is a collection of stories by English author Rudyard Kipling. The stories were first published in magazines in 1893–94. The edition contains 89 illustrations by Maurice de Becque, and others, like the author's father, John Lockwood Kipling.? The tales in the book (as well as those in The Second Jungle Book which followed in 1895, and which includes five further stories about Mowgli) are fables, using animals in an anthropomorphic manner to give moral lessons. The verses of The Law of the Jungle, for example, lay down rules for the safety of individuals, families, and communities. Kipling put in them nearly everything he knew or "heard or dreamed about the Indian jungle." Other readers have interpreted the work as allegories of the politics and society of the time. The best-known of them are the three stories revolving around the adventures of Mowgli, an abandoned "man cub" who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. The most famous of the other four stories are probably "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", the story of a heroic mongoose, and "Toomai of the Elephants", the tale of a young elephant-handler. As with much of Kipling's work, each of the stories is followed by a piece of verse.The Jungle Book came to be used as a motivational book by the Cub Scouts, a junior element of the Scouting movement. This use of the book's universe was approved by Kipling at the request of Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, who had originally asked for the author's permission for the use of the Memory Game from Kim in his scheme to develop the morale and fitness of working-class youths in cities. Akela, the head wolf in The Jungle Book, has become a senior figure in the movement, the name being traditionally adopted by the leader of each Cub Scout pack.

"""Oh! my dear, my dear, how shall I pass the hours till I hold you again?"" No thought, then, of my whole life's completion and consummation being a dream. I staggered up to my room, fell across my bed, and slept heavily and dreamlessly. When I awoke it was high noon. Mildred and her mother were coming to lunch. I remembered, at one o'clock, Mildred coming and her existence. Now indeed the dream began. With a penetrating sense of the futility of any action apart from her, I gave the necessary orders for the reception of my guests. When Mildred and her mother came I received them with cordiality; but my genial phrases all seemed to be someone else's. My voice sounded like an echo; my heart was not there. Still, the situation was not intolerable, until the hour when afternoon tea was served in the drawing-room. Mildred and mother kept the conversational pot boiling with"
