A Trónok harca lebilincsel? fantasy, amely klasszikus lovagkirályságot tár az olvasó elé: Westeros f?l?tt valaha a sárkánykirályok uralkodtak, ám a Targaryen-dinasztiát 15 évvel ezel?tt el?zték, és most Robert Baratheon uralkodik h? barátai, Jon Arryn, majd Eddard Stark segítségével. A konfliktus k?zéppontjában Deres urai, a Starkok állnak. Olyanok, mint a f?ld, ahol születtek: makacs, kemény jellem? család. Szemünk el?tt h?s?k, gazemberek és egy gonosz hatalom t?rténete elevenedik meg. ?m hamar rá kell ébrednünk, hogy ebben a világban mégsem egyszer?en jók és gonoszok kerülnek szembe egymással, hanem mesterien ábrázolt jellemek bontakoznak ki el?ttünk kül?nb?z? vágyakkal, célokkal, félelmekkel és sebekkel. Martin legnagyobb er?ssége hogy meg tudja újítani, élettel t?lti fel azt a m?fajt, amit a sok populáris Tolkien-imitáció évtizedeken át klisék sorozatába fojtva ismételgetett. A t?z és jég dalának els? k?tete egy világteremt? fantasy eposz nagyszabású felütése.

De miután beveti magát a nyuszi üregébe, Alice Csodaországához hasonlóan a Playboy-villa kívülr?l tündérmeseszer?nek t?n? életér?l beleértve a leghíresebb sztárokkal rendezett bulikat és a saját négy évig tartó valóságshow-ját is gyorsan kiderül, hogy ez a világ nem más, mint a szigorú szabályok, a manipuláció és az ambiciózus, álnok nyuszilányokkal folytatott csaták színtere. Az élet a hírhedt villában messze nem álom, inkább rémálom. ?s miután mindent elveszít, nem marad reménye másban, csak az ?ngyilkosságban.

El Principito habita un pequeísimo asteroide, que comparte con una flor caprichosa y tres volcanes. Pero tiene “problemas” con la flor y empieza a experimentar la soledad. Hasta que decide abandonar el planeta en busca de un amigo. Buscando esa amistad recorre varios planetas, habitados sucesivamente por un rey, un vanidoso, un borracho, un hombre de negocios, un farolero, un geógrafo… El concepto de “seriedad” que tienen estas “personas mayores” le deja perplejo y confuso. Prosiguiendo su búsqueda llega al planeta Tierra, pero, en su enorme extensión y vaciedad, siente más que nunca la soledad. Una serpiente le da su versión pesimista sobre los hombres y lo poco que se puede esperar de ellos. Tampoco el zorro contribuye a mejorar su opinión, pero en cambio le ensea el modo de hacerse amigos: hay que crear lazos, hay que dejarse “domesticar”. Y al final le regala su secreto: “Sólo se ve bien con el corazón. Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos”. De pronto el Principito se da cuenta de que su flor le ha “domesticado” y decide regresar a su planeta valiéndose de los medios expeditivos que le ofrece la serpiente. Y es entonces cuando entra en contacto con el aviador, también el hombre habrá encontrado un amigo… Cuando yo tenía seis aos vi en un libro sobre la selva virgen que se titulaba "Historias vividas", una magnífica lámina. Representaba una serpiente boa que se tragaba a una fiera. Esta es la copia del dibujo.En el libro se afirmaba: "La serpiente boa se traga su presa entera, sin masticarla. Luego ya no puede moverse y duerme durante los seis meses que dura su digestión". Reflexioné mucho en ese momento sobre las aventuras de la jungla y a mi vez logré trazar con un lápiz de colores mi primer dibujo. Mi dibujo número uno era de esta manera: Enseé mi obra de arte a las personas mayores y les pregunté si mi dibujo les daba miedo.-por qué habría de asustar un sombrero - me respondieron.Mi dibujo no representaba un sombrero. Representaba una serpiente boa que digiere un elefante. Dibujé entonces el interior de la serpiente boa a fin de que las personas mayores pudieran comprender. Siempre estas personas tienen necesidad de explicaciones. Mi dibujo número dos era así: Las personas mayores me aconsejaron abandonar el dibujo de serpientes boas, ya fueran abiertas o cerradas, y poner más interés en la geografía, la historia, el cálculo y la gramática. De esta manera a la edad de seis aos abandoné una magnífica carrera de pintor. Había quedado desilusionado por el fracaso de mis dibujos número uno y número dos. Las personas mayores nunca pueden comprender algo por sí solas y es muy aburrido para los nios tener que darles una y otra vez explicaciones.

Three classic novels by Willa Cather. According to Wikipedia: "Willa Sibert Cather (December 7, 1873[1] – April 24, 1947) was an American author who achieved recognition for her novels of frontier life on the Great Plains, in works such as O Pioneers!, My ?ntonia, and The Song of the Lark. In 1923 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours (1922), a novel set during World War I. Cather grew up in Nebraska and graduated from the University of Nebraska. She lived and worked in Pittsburgh for ten years, then at age 33 she moved to New York where she lived for the rest of her life."

Play sometimes attributed to John Fletcher and William Shakespeare. According to Wikipedia: "William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – died 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard"). His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright."

Adventure historical novel, set during World War I, first published in 1915. This is the first book of Altshelers three-book World War Series. The others are The Hosts of the Air and The Forest of Swords.

The classic novel. According to Wikipedia: "Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 – September 28, 1891) was an American novelist, short story writer, essayist and poet. His first two books gained much attention, though they were not bestsellers, and his popularity declined precipitously after only a few years. By the time of his death he had been almost completely forgotten, but his longest novel, Moby-Dick — largely considered a failure during his lifetime, and most responsible for Melville's fall from favor with the reading public — was recognized in the 20th century as one of the chief literary masterpieces of both American and world literature."

The classic psychological mystery. According to Wikipedia: "Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson (13 November 1850–3 December 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, essayist and travel writer. He was the man who "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins", as G. K. Chesterton put it."

80 illustrations, some color, some black-and-white. According to Wikipedia: "A Child's Garden of Verses is a collection of poetry for children by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson. The collection first appeared in 1885 under the title Penny Whistles, but has been reprinted many times, often in illustrated versions. It contains about 65 poems including the cherished classics "Foreign Children," "The Lamplighter," "The Land of Counterpane," "Bed in Summer," "My Shadow" and "The Swing."

According to Wikipedia: "John Jeffery Farnol (10 February 1878 – 9 August 1952), was an English author, known for his many romantic novels, some formulaic and set in the English Regency period, and swashbucklers. He with Georgette Heyer founded the Regency romantic genre... The success of his early novels led Farnol to become a professional writer; he returned to England around 1910, and settled on the south coast. He produced around 40 novels and volumes of stories, and some non-fiction and children's books."

Poetry. According to Wikipedia: "Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson (1850 - 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of Neo-romanticism in English literature. He was the man who "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins", as G. K. Chesterton put it. He was also greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Vladimir Nabokov, and J. M. Barrie. Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their definition of modernism. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the canon."

Posthumously published novel by the author of The Scarlet Letter. According to Wikipedia: "Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 –1864) was an American novelist and short story writer... Much of Hawthorne's writing centers around New England and many feature moral allegories with a Puritan inspiration. His fiction works are considered part of the Romantic movement and, more specifically, dark romanticism. His themes often center on the inherent evil and sin of humanity and his works often have moral messages and deep psychological complexity. His published works include novels, short stories, and a biography of his friend Franklin Pierce."

Traduit par Fran?ois Pierre Guillaume Guizot (1787 - 1874), historien fran?ais et homme d'?tat. Publié en 1864. Selon Wikipedia: ?La tragédie de Hamlet, prince du Danemark, est une tragédie de William Shakespeare, qui se déroule au royaume du Danemark et qui dramatise la vengeance du prince Hamlet sur son oncle Claudius pour le meurtre du roi Hamlet, le frère de Claude et le père du prince Hamlet, puis succédant au tr?ne et prenant pour épouse Gertrude, la veuve du vieux roi et la mère du prince Hamlet.La pièce dépeint vivement la folie vraie et feinte - de la douleur accablante à la rage bouillonnante - et explore des thèmes de trahison, la vengeance, l'inceste et la corruption morale.
