The Balintol Cycle II: The fourteenth Dray Prescot omnibus
Alan Burt Akers
¥81.67
If you are prepared to hurl yourself into adventure, to face peril with a brave heart, to risk all, then the marvelous world of Kregen offers you everything you have ever dreamed. For Dray Prescot the challenges are enormous. His task is to unite the sub-continent of Balintol against the Shanks, but the megalomaniac striving for power of various factions looks set to send Balintol up in flames. Scourge of Antares Prescot has uncovered some of the details of a plot by the cultists of the religion of Dokerty to turn ordinary men and women into receptacles for demons, who then destroy wantonly until the frail human body can no longer support the intolerable demonic forces. Now he has escaped from the Dokerty temple with a mysterious young woman, Veda. They are fleeing for their lives as the Suns of Scorpio descend into night... Challenge of Antares Born in 1775, Dray Prescot joined the Royal Navy as a boy when his father died from the sting of a scorpion, and his mother followed soon after. Life in Nelson's Navy, harsh, intolerant, formed and molded him. He has been consistently passed over for promotion, even though he has fought his way from the lower deck through the hawsehole to the quarterdeck. He considers himself a failure. Just recently he has been experiencing unsettling dreams... Wrath of Antares The rulers of the countries of Balintol, and the people trying to usurp them, appear to care only for their own ambitions. Having saved the Illusionist of Winlan and preserved the Wall that retains the demon monsters created by Khon the Mak's Dokerty priests, Prescot now realizes to his profound horror that the phantom of his wife Delia he saw buried by falling rock was no apparition... Includes a glossary of the entire Balintol cycle.

The German campaigns in Poland and the West in 1939 and 1940 ushered in a new era in warfare. The theory of the Blitzkrieg (Lightning War) developed by Hitler's forward-thinking generals - including the foreword writer, Heinz Guderian - was put into devastating effect. Based on a German book published during World War II and never before translated, Blitzkrieg in their own Words is a military history of these campaigns written by those taking part.

O edi?ie definitiv? a romanului Ruptura, ap?rut ?n anul 2004 la Editura Albatros. Av?nd ca subiect rememorarea unei iubiri de la sf?r?itul anilor ?aizeci, romanul a fost bine primit de critica literar? ?i a avut un semnificativ succes de public. Autorul reconstituie, din fr?nturi de imagini ?i amintiri disparate, fulgurante, persist?nd din vremea studen?iei sale bucure?tene, contextul ?n care s-a ?ndr?gostit de una dintre colegele de la forma?ia de dansuri a Universit??ii, dar totul s-a curmat prea cur?nd, datorit? inabilit??ii tinere?ti a celor doi parteneri, care nu au reu?it s? ocroteasc? abia-izbucnita flac?r? a dragostei lor. Este totodat? repunerea ?n discu?ie a unor op?iuni ale acelor vremuri, diferit abordate de fiecare ?n parte. Dar este mai ales aplecarea cu devo?iune asupra unor amintiri de la grani?a cu uitarea propriu-zis?, dup? patru decenii, a sentimentului ce se ?nfiripase, la ?nflorirea spiritual? a celor doi adolescen?i. ?Cu timpul ajungi s? ?n?elegi ?n alt fel raporturile dintre amintire ?i uitare, scrie autorul. Amintirea pare doar c? se afl? la cheremul uit?rii, dar de fapt adesea reu?e?te s? i se sustrag?, revenind ?n mod prodigios, atunci c?nd nu mai aveai nicio speran??, cu scena de o prospe?ime extraordinar?. Degeaba ne temem de uitare, ?mi spun, c?t? vreme amintirile ??i mai amintesc de noi! Ci abia c?nd amintirile nu mai vor s? ?tie de noi ?i refuz? s? ne mai viziteze, abia atunci uitarea se poate l?uda c? a ?nvins definitiv.“

Via?a e un vis. Apoi te treze?ti. Eu l-am inventat pe Max. Cel pu?in asta mi-am spus ?ntotdeauna. To?i b?rba?ii pe care i-am adorat ?nc? din copil?rie, combina?i ?ntr-un singur tip perfect. Problema e c? m-am ?n?elat. Pentru c? ?n u?a clasei, uit?ndu-se direct la mine, st? Max. Max al meu. Max cel din visele mele. Max al meu care nu exist? ?n realitate. De c?nd se ?tie, Alice ?l viseaz? pe Max, un b?iat pe care nu l-a ?nt?lnit niciodat?. ?mpreun? au c?l?torit prin toat? lumea, au c?l?rit pe elefan?i roz, s-au b?tut cu biscui?i ?n Muzeul Metropolitan de Art? ?i s-au ?ndr?gostit nebune?te, iremediabil, unul de cel?lalt. Max e b?iatul viselor ei (?i doar al viselor ei) p?n? ?n diminea?a ?n care ?l descoper? st?ndu-i al?turi la or?, c?t se poate de viu. Dar el habar nu are cine e Alice. C?nd te ?ndr?goste?ti ?n vis, mai poate realitatea s?-?i fie de ajuns? ??n mod evident, sunt perfect con?tient? c? par sut? la sut? ??c?nit? c?nd spun c? m-am ?ndr?gostit de un om pe care nu l-am ?nt?lnit niciodat?, care nici m?car nu exist?. Dar din moment ce nu-mi pot aminti o perioad? ?n care s? nu-l fi visat pe Max, mi-e greu s? fac diferen?a. Locurile se schimb?, la fel ?i pove?tile, ?ns? Max r?m?ne acela?i, ?nt?mpin?ndu-m? ?n fiecare vis cu z?mbetul lui pozna? ?i inima lui mare. El e sufletul meu pereche.“

Dar e hot?r?t s? ?ncerce. O poveste zguduitoare despre iubire, pierdere ?i ceea ce ne face cu adev?rat umani.

Ea ?nsemna speran??, team?, iubire ?i durere. Ea era c?t se poate de vie. Iar a fi viu ?nseamn? a avea posibilit??i ?i incertitudini. Via?a este ceva ira?ional, iar ira?ionalul nu poate fi cartografiat. De aceea, ?n fiecare via?? — ?n fiecare via?? adev?rat? — exist? o ?ncreng?tur? de alte vie?i, ca ?n gr?dina potecilor ce se bifurc? despre care citisem c?ndva. S? iube?ti pe cineva este un proces prin care ?l aju?i pe cel?lalt s? g?seasc? cea mai bun? variant? dintre vie?ile posibile ?i s? o tr?iasc?.“

The stories of Thor, Odin and Loki are familiar to most of us. Many people know that the Norse gods fought against giants and were ultimately betrayed by Loki the trickster. The end of the world and the death of the gods in a grim battle called Ragnarok has also found its way into popular culture. Ideas taken from Norse mythology are frequently found in modern fantasy and science fiction – such as elves, dwarfs and undead warriors rising from an unquiet grave, for example. Norse mythology is rich in adventure and ideas about creation, death and the afterlife. Norse Myths takes a wide-ranging approach, examining the creation stories of the Norse world, the monsters and the pantheons of the deities, including such figures as Heimdall, Freya and Baldr. It looks at the sagas and the Prose and Poetic Eddas, which tell of real and imagined people, featuring both heroic tales and humorous escapades. The book also examines how Norse myths were interpreted in a Christianized Europe and how their motifs influenced medieval German writers and, in turn, were used in the modern world in very different ways, by the likes of composer Richard Wagner and in the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien. Illustrated with 180 colour and black-&-white artworks and illustrations, Norse Myths is an engaging and highly informative exploration of a rich mythology that still resounds today.
