Two hundred years before the events of the Skywalker Saga, the galaxy is experiencing unparalleled peace--until a new enemy threatens everything the Jedi have built. In the days of the High Republic, the Jedi are at the height of their power. But the emergence of the piratical, anarchic Nihil proves that even the most successful peace is fragile, and the Jedi's influence is neither as pervasive nor as benevolent as they would believe. Now Lula, Farzal, and Qort, inexperienced Jedi Padawans, must help the inhabitants of Trymant IV in the wake of a Nihil attack. All the while, they'll face suspicion and outright opposition from a group of subversive citizens who resent and fear the Jedi. Two of those citizens, Zeen and Kriz, will have to decide whether to accept the Padawans' aid or try to save the day on their own. Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures is part of a broader publishing initiative exploring a mysterious, bygone era of the Galactic Republic through comics and prose. Collects Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures issues #1-5.
Presents the English and Italian translations of the fourteenth-century novel "The Decameron", which is comprised of one hundred tales told by ten young people who have retreated to the countryside to escape the plague.
Oskar Matzerath ripercorre con l' aiuto di un tamburo di latta, giocattolo e strumento magico, le vicende della sua vita, dominata dalla scelta, a tre anni, di non crescere più e di essere nano per odio dei suoi due padri (quello anagrafico e l'amante della madre). Il ricordo comprende la vita della madre fino alla sua nascita, ricca di presagi. Si passa poi all'infanzia, al rifiuto di crescere, al rifiuto e poi all'adesione al nazismo, all'esperienza teatrale e erotica con una compagnia di nani. La fine della guerra separa Oskar da Danzica e lo porta a Dusseldorf. A 28 anni decide di crescere e di diventare un famoso compositore di musica da tamburo.
