Crystals II: 2nd Battle of the Titans: Clash between Hypercosmic and the Superna
￥84.20
The Crystals series – as you may already know – will hopefully be completed in a decalogy which will start from the creation of the universe, will transcend all human civilization, will come to the present and continue into the future, summarily showing the development of human civilization. In the first book, we saw the discovery of an object with strange properties, the study and finally the ‘cosmic’ journey in which we observed the Big Bang, the creation of galaxies and star systems.The 2nd book refers to the creation of the solar system, the creation and structure of the earth, the appearance of life on earth and its developmental course. This whole period, which in fact was initiated about five billion years ago, is elaborated with mythological fights and dwells, fitting in reality to mythological forms as natural forces, and that is why they are named ‘Supernatural’. Thus, we observe the drama of archetypal life on planet earth in the form of Supernatural Powers.The Titans with their leader, Cronos dominate the scene in the 2nd book. The structural upheavals on planet earth are presented in the form of epic battles and struggles, as well as the calamities and extinction of life but also the emergence of new life forms on earth. The 2nd Clash of the Titans brings us to about 50 million years ago with the final triumph of the Supernatural Powers in their fight against the Hypercosmic Powers followed by their slippage into the arrogance of power which will cause the 3rd Clash of the Titans.Continuing on this magic journey and keeping the White Crystal as the ‘vehicle’ of our transport, the reader of this and the other books in the series will observe the development of the human civilization from the creation of the universe to this day, through the use of myth, allegory and real events and scientific knowledge.

Hero

Arriving in five great colony ships, they quickly settled the surface only to discover, after a few short years, that the planet was killing them. The culprit, a native spore, carried on every wind to every corner of the globe. Genetic engineering, blending DNA from Earth and J?rn species, saved their crops and livestock, but for humans there was no cure. Instead they took to the skies, turning their colony ships into cities that floated above the spore’s reach. Hero Regan is special, and not in a way she likes. She hears voices, voices in her head that other people can’t. Surrounded by butlers, bodyguards and tutors, insulated from the outside world, her only solace is Fink, a six-hundred-kilogram, genetically engineered ruc-pard. They share lives, thoughts, triple-chocolate marshmallow ice-cream and the burning desire for freedom. Their chance comes when Hero is allowed to attend school in Cumulus City. Here, along with making unexpected friends, Hero discovers she is an unwitting part of a master plan set into motion by the first colonists, a plan she must either help or foil if she’s ever to attain the freedom she craves.

This family, as with many of the Russian minor nobility with royal ties of that time, were only afforded a degree of respectability because of their titles; the Zasyekins, in the case of this story, are a very poor family.

Legends and Tales
￥40.79
The cautious reader will detect a lack of authenticity in the following pages. I am not a cautious reader myself, yet I confess with some concern to the absence of much documentary evidence in support of the singular incident I am about to relate. Disjointed memoranda, the proceedings of ayuntamientos and early departmental juntas, with other records of a primitive and superstitious people, have been my inadequate authorities. It is but just to state, however, that though this particular story lacks corroboration, in ransacking the Spanish archives of Upper California I have met with many more surprising and incredible stories, attested and supported to a degree that would have placed this legend beyond a cavil or doubt.
Gesammelte Werke
￥8.82
Es war ein Glücksfall. Gustav Freytag, mit Julian Schmidt zusammen der literaturkritische Tribun des Realismus, an dem kein Autor dieser Jahre vorbeikam, fand ?ffentlich Gefallen an Louise von Fran?ois’ erstem Roman "Die letzte Reckenburgerin" (1871), so dass die Autorin immerhin eine gewisse zeitgen?ssische Anerkennung und einen gewissen Nachruhm erlangen konnte. Leider nicht genug, wie ich meine. Zwar mag es sein, dass Storms Diktion edler ist, dass Fontanes hintersinnige Verweisungszusammenh?nge einen raffinierten Ziseleur verraten ... aber was den sog. "Realismus" betrifft und erst recht die Themenvielfalt: da kann die Dame den Herren locker zeigen, wo der Hammer h?ngt. W?hrend die ?gro?en? Realisten allesamt in den verschiedensten Gesamt- und Einzelausgaben immer wieder aufgelegt worden sind und noch werden, sieht es bei Louise von Fran?ois recht mager aus; die beiden Werkausgaben (1918 fünf B?nde im Insel Verlag, 1924 zwei B?nde im Verlag der Literaturwerke "Minerva", herausgegeben von Karl Weitzel - beide haben etwa den gleichen Umfang, w?hlen jedoch bei den Erz?hlungen unterschiedlich aus) geben kaum die H?lfte des Werkes. Deshalb: Zu ihrem 200. Geburtstag hab ich’s leider nicht mehr geschafft, dann eben mit etwas Versp?tung: Die Gesamtausgabe des erz?hlerischen Werkes.
