Am ?nceput s? scriu acest text aproape imediat dup? moartea tat?lui meu. F?r? s?-mi dau seama, scriam cu m?nie ?i cu revolt?, de?i credeam c? ?mi impun o privire impar?ial?, de jurnalist, asupra evenimentelor, personajelor ?i a mea ?ns?mi. Recitind, ?n perioade lini?tite, m? ?ntrebam dac? cei din jurul meu nu erau ?i ei con?tien?i de clocotul meu interior ?i, dac? erau, de ce nu-mi spunea nimeni nimic. Pe parcursul anilor, din textul ini?ial nu a r?mas dec?t titlul, acest Whole Lotta Love pe care tata ?l asculta pe repeat, acas?. Cu voia sau f?r? voia mea, firele narative s-au contopit ?ntre ele ?i, ?n cele din urm?, mi-am scris propria poveste de dragoste. Tata cred c? m? ?n?elege, de unde e el. C?nd eram mai mic?, ?mi doream s? pot avea ?ncredere total? ?n cel care scrie ?i, dac? s-ar ?nt?mpla s? ne ?nt?lnim pe strad?, persoana scriitorului s? fie ca textul pe care ?l citisem ceva mai devreme. Nu v? pot cere ?ncrederea voastr? total? (de?i a? cam avea nevoie de ea! ?), dar sunt sigur? c?, dac? ne ?nt?lnim, ve?i recunoa?te ?n mine aerul din care e f?cut? Whole Lotta Love.

Vajon miért építtet fel egy épületet a városka melletti félrees? helyen a helyi k?z?sség k?zkedvelt, ámde kül?n?s megszállottságtól vezérelt lelkésze az 1800-as évek végén az Egyesült ?llamokban, kockáztatva ezzel papi hivatását is? ?s miért pont ott? A válasz vele együtt odavész, amikor jó pár év elteltével ? maga is nyomtalanul elt?nik. Rokonai, ?r?k?sei nem feszegetik ezt a kérdést, a ház megmarad, de egyikük sem lakik ott t?bbé, amíg az ?reg épület új gazdára nem talál. Az új tulajdonos, Jane, a harmincas éveiben járó sikeres üzletasszony fiával, Jeffel k?lt?zik be a házba. A fiú nemrég átélt autóbusz balesete óta amnéziás. Az érdekl?dését felkelti az épület eredetét ?vez? titok, miután az el?z? tulajdonos megemlíti ezt nekik. Ahogy kutakodni kezd, ráj?n, hogy az épület a furcsa tárgyak, meglep? helyek és megmagyarázhatatlan események tárháza. Ráadásul, mint az évszázados álmából felzavart szellem, a múlt árnya nyugtalanító álmokkal gy?tri ?t, mintha csak erre várt volna! Ek?zben egy távoli városban egy kómában fekv? építési vállalkozóért, Peterért aggódnak a szerettei. Jeffet nem ismerik, és nem is sejtik, hogy bármi k?zük lenne hozzá és a rejtélyes épülethez, pedig van. Nagyon is sok! Mire Jeff felderíti a ház titkait, az ?sszefüggések is lassan k?rvonalazódnak, ám a t?rténetnek ezzel még k?zel sincs vége…

Ríviai Geralt a thaneddi puccs után Brokilonban lábadozik. Egy világ választja el Cirit?l, a Meglepetés Gyermekt?l, akit pedig állítólag neki rendelt a sors – a lányt ugyanis Nilfgaardban látták utoljára. A vaják tehát hosszú és veszélyes útra indul a driádok földjér?l a háború sújtotta vidéken keresztül, de nem marad sokáig egyedül: ahogy közeledik úticéljához, egyre többen csatlakoznak hozzá… E furcsa kompánia végül egy olyan konfliktusba csöppen, melyet csak véres küzdelmek árán élhetnek túl. „Keresztül kell jutnod a t?zön, amely megperzsel ugyan, de meg is tisztít.” (Ríviai Geralt) A vaják-saga következ? kötete A megvetés idejének közvetlen folytatása. A lengyel szerz? ismét elröpíti az olvasót a szláv mítoszok és a valóság ihlette fantáziavilágába, ahol a tét nem csupán egy szörnyvadász vagy egy kislány élete, de az Északi Királyságok sorsa is.

“Ah there, girls! How are you?”—“GOD SPEED YOU” “Oh, Nathalie, I do believe there’s Grace Tyson in her new motor-car,” exclaimed Helen Dame, suddenly laying her hand on her companion’s arm as the two girls were about to cross Main Street, the wide, tree-lined thoroughfare of the old-fashioned town of Westport, Long Island.Nathalie Page halted, and, swinging about, peered intently at the brown-uniformed figure of a young girl seated at the steering-wheel of an automobile, which was speeding quickly towards them. Yes, it was Grace, who, in her sprightliest manner, her face aglow from the invigorating breezes of an April afternoon, called out, “Ah there, girls! How are you? Oh, my lucky star must have guided me, for I have something thrilling to tell you!” As she spoke the girl guided the car to the curb, and the next moment, with an airy spring, had landed on the ground at their side.With a sudden movement the uniformed figure clicked her heels together and bent stiffly forward as her arm swung up, while her forefinger grazed her forehead in a military salute. “I salute you, comrades,” she said with grave formality, “at your service as a member of the Motor Corps of America. “Yes, girls,” she shrilled joyously, forgetting her assumed r?le in her eagerness to tell her news, “I’m on the job, for I’m to see active service for the United States government. I’ve just returned from an infantry drill of the Motor Corps at Central Park, New York. “No, I’ll be honest,” she added laughingly, in answer to the look of amazed inquiry on the faces of her companions, “and ’fess’ that I didn’t have the pleasure of drilling in public, for I’m a raw recruit as yet. We recruits go through our manual of arms at one of the New York armories, drilled by a regular army sergeant. Oh, I’ve been in training some time, for you know I took out my chauffeur’s and mechanician’s State licenses last winter. LENA HALSEY:Author of “Blue Robin, the Girl Pioneer”and “America’s Daughter”

But their peaceful retirement ends when Pop drops in. And the Father of the Gods has brought company. Unwanted company. "The Zelazny-inspired 'The Boys Are Back in Town' nicely toes the line between quirky humor and pathos." —Publishers Weekly "A partly funny, partly dark story … I enjoyed this one a lot; one of the most 'pure entertainment' tales of the [Chimerascope] collection." —Fantasy Book Critic

Each begins in a quietly factual way, making all the more dramatic the crescendo of fear and puzzlement that ensues as each new circumstance is revealed. Even without his supremely logical brain child, Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle shows that his tales are unbeatable for thrills and excitement. ? Contents: Tales of terror: The horror of the heights The leather funnel The new catacomb The case of Lady Sannox The terror of Blue John Gap The Brazilian cat ?

The Murders in the Rue Morgue
The Murders in the Rue Morgue
Edgar Allan Poe
¥8.09
"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. It has been recognized as the first modern detective story; Poe referred to it as one of his "tales of ratiocination". Two works that share some similarities predate Poe's stories, including Das Fr?ulein von Scuderi (1819) by E. T. A. Hoffmann and Zadig (1747) by Voltaire. ? C. Auguste Dupin is a man in Paris who solves the mystery of the brutal murder of two women. Numerous witnesses heard a suspect, though no one agrees on what language was spoken. At the murder scene, Dupin finds a hair that does not appear to be human. ? As the first fictional detective, Poe's Dupin displays many traits which became literary conventions in subsequent fictional detectives, including Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. Many later characters, for example, follow Poe's model of the brilliant detective, his personal friend who serves as narrator, and the final revelation being presented before the reasoning that leads up to it. Dupin himself reappears in "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter".
The Triumphs of Eugène Valmont
The Triumphs of Eugène Valmont
Robert Barr
¥8.09
When I say I am called Valmont the name will convey no impression to the reader one way or another. My occupation is that of private detective in London but if you ask any policeman in Paris who Valmont was he will likely be able to tell you unless he is a recent recruit. ? The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont (1906) brings together tales of the multifarious exploits of Robert Barr's elegant and cunning sleuth, Valmont, a brilliantly ironic parody of Sherlock Holmes. Exhibiting the crucial combination of realism and imagination that characterizes the finest crime writing, the stories exude playfulness and wit, blending mystery and quasi-Gothic thrills with humorous detours and romantic adventure. A notable figure in turn-of-the-century literary London and a friend of Conan Doyle, Barr was acutely aware of style as a form of statement and the stories are full of literary effects, commentary on the detective mystery genre, and Valmont's disparaging reflections on English values. From the hilarious satire of sensationalism in 'The Siamese Twin of a Bomb-Thrower' to the bizarre and operatic melodrama of 'The Ghost with the Club-Foot', Barr's stories delight the reader with their skill, variety, and never-abandoned sense of spirited fun. This edition also includes Barr's two rare pastiches of Valmont's rival, Sherlock Holmes.

Maggie: A Girl of the Streets is an 1893 novella by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). The story centers on Maggie, a young girl from the Bowery who is driven to unfortunate circumstances by poverty and solitude. The work was considered risqué by publishers because of its literary realism and strong themes. Crane – who was 22 years old at the time – financed the book's publication himself, although the original 1893 edition was printed under the pseudonym Johnston Smith. After the success of 1895's The Red Badge of Courage, Maggie was reissued in 1896 with considerable changes and re-writing.

In the Sea of Dungting there is a hill, and in that hill there is a hole, and this hole is so deep that it has no bottom. Once a fisherman was passing there who slipped and fell into the hole. He came to a country full of winding ways which led over hill and dale for several miles. Finally he reached a dragon-castle lying in a great plain. There grew a green slime which reached to his knees. He went to the gate of the castle. It was guarded by a dragon who spouted water which dispersed in a fine mist. Within the gate lay a small hornless dragon who raised his head, showed his claws, and would not let him in. The fisherman spent several days in the cave, satisfying his hunger with the green slime, which he found edible and which tasted like rice-mush. At last he found a way out again. He told the district mandarin what had happened to him, and the latter reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor sent for a wise man and questioned him concerning it. The wise man said: “There are four paths in this cave. One path leads to the south-west shore of the Sea of Dungting, the second path leads to a valley in the land of the four rivers, the third path ends in a cave on the mountain of Lo-Fu and the fourth in an island of the Eastern Sea. In this cave dwells the seventh daughter of the Dragon-King of the Eastern Sea, who guards his pearls and his treasure.
