Aceste cinci eseuri pot constitui un (incomplet) tratat de literatur? comparat? care are ?n vedere ca termen de referin?? deschiderile teoretice diversificate din ultimul deceniu al secolului trecut ?i ?nceputul noului secol. Caracterul fluid al no?iunii face din comparatism o mitologie plural? at?ta vreme c?t lipse?te o teorie general unificatoare. Imposibilitatea de a-i legitima pe deplin obiectul, indeterminat ?i imprecis, l-a f?cut pe Charles Bernheimer s? defineasc? literatura comparat? drept o ??tiin?? anxiogenic?“. Este literatura comparat? o disciplin? autonom? sau, dimpotriv?, una anexat? studiilor culturale care nu dispun de o justificare teoretic?? Direct sau indirect, cartea lui Vasile Voia, profesor la Facultatea de Litere a Universit??ii Babe?-Bolyai, a luat forma unui discurs polemic. Comparatismul modern maximalist, renun??nd la rigorile anacronice ale comparatismului francez, p?n? la a uita de text ca obiect estetic, a devenit domeniul predilect al tuturor diletantismelor ?i formelor estetice ?n care dispare orice rigoare. Vasile Voia se situeaz? principial de partea pozi?iei ferme exprimate de Adrian Marino, ?n descenden?a lui René Wellek ?i René Etiemble, a profesorilor de la Yale, Harold Bloom ?i Peter Brooks, care au militat pentru men?inerea canonului tradi?ional occidental ?i a esteticului ca valoare primordial? a operei literare.

Povestea celui mai subestimat organ al corpuluiCheia unei vie?i mai s?n?toase ?i mai fericite se afl? ?n?untrul nostru.De?i intestinul este aproape la fel de important ca inima sau creierul, ?tim foarte pu?ine lucruri despre el. Giulia Enders ne arat? c?, departe de a fi doar acea parte utilitar? ?i – trebuie s? recunoa?tem – cam jenant? a corpului, a?a cum ne imagin?m, este unul dintre organele cele mai complexe, mai importante ?i chiar miraculoase ale anatomiei umane. Iar oamenii de ?tiin?? abia sunt pe cale s? descopere c?t de mult are acesta de oferit. Noi cercet?ri arat? c? bacteriile intestinale pot juca un rol ?ntr-o gam? larg? de afec?iuni, cum ar fi obezitatea, alergiile ?i Alzheimer.Pornind de la experien?a personal? a bolii care a inspirat munca ei de cercetare ?i continu?nd prin a explica totul de la fundamentele absorb?iei nutrimentelor la ultimele descoperiri ?tiin?ifice care leag? bacteriile intestinale de depresie, Enders a scris o carte de s?n?tate antrenant? ?i informativ?. ?armul discret al intestinului ne arat? f?r? t?gad? c? putem s? beneficiem cu to?ii de pe urma cunoa?terii minunatei lumi a func?ion?rii noastre interne.Mesajul autoarei este simplu: dac? ne trat?m bine intestinele, ?i ele ne vor trata le fel de bine. Dar cum ?i de ce trebuie s? facem asta? Putem afla citind aceast? surprinz?tor de agreabil? explorare a celui mai subestimat dintre organele noastre.?Cu entuziasm ?i un sim? al umorului foarte dezvoltat, Enders explic? tot ceea ce cititorii voiau ?i nu voiau s? ?tie despre intestinele lor... cartea aceasta sfideaz? plictiseala.“ – Publishers Weekly?Surprinz?tor, cartea se cite?te ca un thriller. Entuziasmul autoarei fa?? de subiectul tratat este contagios. Desenele alb-negru realizate de sora ei reu?esc s? aduc? un plus de informa?ii ?ntr-o manier? amuzant?. E ?mbucur?toare absen?a re?etelor ?i a limbajului tipic pentru c?r?ile de self-help.“ – Self Magazine

“From the fury of the Northmen, good Lord deliver us.” – Anonymous monk, Noirmoutier, France, 9th century AD Beginning in 789AD, the Vikings raided monasteries, sacked cities and invaded western Europe. They looted and enslaved their enemies. But that is only part of their story. In long boats they discovered Iceland and America (both by accident) and also sailed up the Seine to Paris (which they sacked). They settled from Newfoundland to Russia, founded Dublin and fought battles as far afield as the Caspian Sea. A thousand years after their demise, traces of the Vikings remain all the way from North America to Istanbul. They traded walruses with Inuits, brought Russian furs to Western Europe and took European slaves to Constantinople. Their graves contain Arab silver, Byzantine silks and Frankish weapons. In this accessible book, the whole narrative of the Viking story is examined from the eighth to the eleventh centuries. Arranged thematically, Vikings: A History of the Norse People examines the Norsemen from exploration to religion to trade to settlement to weaponry to kingdoms to their demise and legacy. But today questions remain: what prompted the first Viking raids? What stopped their expansion? And how much of the tales of murder, rape and pillage is myth? Illustrated with more than 200 photographs, maps and artworks, Vikings: A History of the Norse People is an expertly written account of a people who have long captured the popular imagination.

Surviving Toxic In-Laws: The Big Bullies: The Big Bullies

Four hundred light years from Earth, Kregen is a marvelous world, peopled by wonderful beings, filled with the light and clamor and furor of life lived to the hilt. But Kregen has its darker side, where horror and terror bind innocent people, where sorceries rend reason, where injustice denies light. Called to be the Emperor of Vallia, Dray Prescot, with his comrades, has vanquished poor old mad Thyllis, Empress of Hamal, and now seeks to create a fresh and lasting unity among all the nations of Paz. They all face a common foe in the Shanks, the Fishheads who raid their coasts. And, there are worms within the bud, secret enemies who desire only to drag all down for their own selfish ends... Containing three novels: Mazes of Scorpio Delia of Vallia Fires of Scorpio This edition includes the short story “Lallia the Slave Girl”.

The History of World War I series recounts the battles and campaigns that took place during the 'Great War'. From the Falkland Islands to the lakes of Africa, across the Eastern and Western Fronts, to the former German colonies in the Pacific, the World War I series provides a six-volume history of the battles and campaigns that raged on land, at sea and in the air. Following the climactic battles of Verdun and the Somme the previous year, the Allies sought to finish the war on the Western Front in 1917 through a major French offensive designed to rupture the German front and roll up their position. This attack was to be supported by a diversionary British offensive at Arras in the north, which would draw off both German attention and their reserves. In the event, the French offensive in Champagne failed to deliver the promised breakthrough, leaving the French Army in a state of open mutiny. While French discipline recovered, the British Expeditionary Force took on the burden of the bulk of the fighting for the rest of the year. The need for an Allied offensive to take the pressure off the French resulted in the Third Battle of Ypres, more commonly known as Passchendaele. The battle degenerated into a slaughter in the Flanders mud thanks to heavy rain, and the only rays of light for the Allies at the end of 1917 were the arrival of fresh American troops on the Western Front, and the potential for a decisive victory shown by the use of armour at the Battle of Cambrai. However the Russian Revolution brought the fighting on the Eastern Front to an end, releasing numerous battle-hardened divisions to reinforce the Germans in the west. The year 1918 saw Germany launch her Spring Offensives, desperate attempts to defeat the Allies before the Americans could arrive in force. Although these assaults came close to breaking the Allied line, they eventually petered out in the face of determined resistance and over-extended supply lines. Following the Battle of Amiens in August, the Allies pressed onwards: the British in Flanders, the French and the Americans in the Meuse-Argonne region. By September it was obvious that Germany was losing the war, and the decision was made to sue for peace before Allied troops reached German soil. The Armistice came into force at 11am on the morning of 11 November 1918, although the war did not officially end until the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919. With the aid of over 300 black and white and colour photographs, complemented by full-colour maps, The Western Front 1917–1918 provides a detailed guide to the background and conduct of the conflict on the Western Front in the final years of World War I.

Four hundred light years from Earth, Kregen is a marvelous world, peopled by wonderful beings, filled with light and clamor and furor of life lived to the hilt. But Kregen has its darker side, where horror and terror bind innocent people, where sorceries rend reason, where injustice denies light. Here, in the unforgiving yet rewarding world of Kregen, struggling through disaster and triumph, Dray Prescot has made his home. He has acquired a number of titles and estates but now the people of the island empire of Vallia, which has been ripped to shreds by ambitious and mercenary invaders, have called on him to lead them to freedom as their emperor. Reluctant to accept the imperium, he shoulders the burden because, rightly or wrongly, he sees this as the lesser evil... Containing four novels: A Life for Kregen A Sword for Kregen A Fortune for Kregen A Victory for Kregen This edition contains a glossary to the Jikaida cycle.

Four hundred light years from Earth, Kregen is a marvelous world, peopled by wonderful beings, filled with light and clamor and furor of life lived to the hilt. But Kregen has its darker side, where horror and terror bind innocent people, where sorceries rend reason, where injustice denies light. The Spikatur Cycle brings Prescot closer to the realization of many of his dreams. He is determined to do what he feels is laid upon him; but he finds it is not so easy, particularly when the Empress Delia and his comrades are determined to keep him out of trouble. But, he is Dray Prescot, Lord of Strombor and Krozair of Zy, and that canny old leem hunter will not be prevented from buckling up the brave old scarlet breechclout and hurtling off beneath the Moons of Kregen into fresh headlong adventure with a sword in his fist... Containing the four novels: Beasts of Antares Rebel of Antares Legions of Antares Allies of Antares This book contains a glossary of the Spikatur cycle.

Together, the three books in this volume make up the first part of the Havilfar Cycle of the Saga of Dray Prescot of Earth and of Kregen. Dray Prescot is launched headlong into a brand-new series of adventures upon the planet of Kregen, that marvelous and beautiful, mystical and terrible world four hundred light-years away beneath the Suns of Scorpio. A new life opens for Dray, but that new life is cruelly different from all he expected and dreamed, hurling him into fresh adventure and danger among peoples and places far removed from those he knows and loves. Dray Prescot's saga has been aclaimed as the best planetary adventure series since Burroughs stopped writing about Barsoom. Manhounds of Antares: Will Dray Prescot be able to remain a prince of proud Vallia or will he become just another human victim of the hunters and manhounds of the mysterious Southern Continent? For that is the enigmatic fate that the Star Lords have suddenly confronted him with. They want someone freed from the terrified pack of human prey among whom Prescot finds himself. But who it is and how it is to be done, they have left to Dray to work out... Arena of Antares: Never a man to leave something half done, Dray Prescot knows his task on the mysterious continent of Havilfar is far from complete. There are cruel conquerors to be overthrown, the pursuit of the manhounds and their masters to continue, and there is the dreaded arena. Can he survive the life of a gladiator against the killers and monsters of a spoiled queen while the Star Lords wait for his mission to continue? Fliers of Antares: Dray Prescot confronts his most baffling task while he is a hunted and harried wanderer of the continent of Havilfar. That task is to discover the means by which the aircraft of that continent's most advanced civilization operate. Prescot is no scientist, but fulfill his task he must or he will never return to the princess and homeland he has won. So, for Dray Prescot there is but one course. With a whole continent against him, with time itself conspiring to balk him, the secrets of an unknown science must be made his...

On the magnificent and mysterious, beautiful and terrible world of Kregen, a planet orbiting Antares four-hundred light-years from Earth, much may be achieved and much lost. Far more than merely a strong sword arm is required for victory. Far more than a cunning and devious brain is needed to secure success. Having won his princess, Delia of Delphond, Delia of the Blue Mountains, and having become the Emperor of Vallia with Delia at his side as Empress, Dray Prescot has renounced the crown and throne. Any thoughts of a quiet life are foolish, as he well knows. Among the many problems besetting him, the most important are uniting the lands of Paz and beating off the viciously hostile raiders from over the curve of the sea, the feared and hated Shanks. Containing three novels: Scorpio Ablaze Scorpio Drums Scorpio Triumph This edition includes a glossary to the Lohvian cycle.

Dray Prescot has been chosen by the Star Lords to be the so-called Emperor of All Paz. Together, the countries of Paz must resist the deadly Shanks who raid from over the curve of the world. Delia and Dray Prescot have abdicated the throne of Vallia and now seek to make the dream of a united Paz come true. Shadows over Kregen Whether Prescot is battling slavers and freeing slaves with the Kroveres of Iztar, or fighting Fish-heads in the land of the Shanks, he is certain to be thrown into more headlong adventures under the streaming mingled lights of the Suns of Scorpio. Murder on Kregen A new page turns in the unruly life of Dray Prescot, and all his strengths and inner resources will be required to confront fresh problems and perils. Join Dray Prescot as he rides south from the port city of Zandikar on the inner sea of the continent of Turismond, the Eye of the World, with his blade comrade Seg Segutorio and the Princesses Velia and Didi of Vallia. Of course, as is the nature of Kregen, they face unexpected peril... Turmoil on Kregen The undead monster called the Spectre has been destroyed. Didi herself lies seriously injured in Zandikar in the Eye of the World, lovingly tended by her cousin, Princess Velia. Ulana Farlan, the governor of Didi's province of Urn Vennar, has been removed from office. Now the rogue and schemer Nath Swantram, Nath the Clis, rules. But the Spectre, dead and animate, is about to terrorize Gafarden again as Tralgan Vorner, the wronged Elten of Culvensax, seeks vengeance on those who betrayed him. Within Vorner the Spectre lives. Including a glossary to the Spectre cycle.
