Il tatuaggio di fuoco
Il risveglio degli Eletti è il primo libro della trilogia “Il tatuaggio di fuoco”. Tutti noi abbiamo sentito parlare delle profezie Maya che periodicamente annunciano grandi cambiamenti per il genere umano. Nella Bibbia e nel Corano addirittura predicono la fine del mondo, con lo scontro apocalittico tra il Bene e il Male. E se questi eventi stessero per compiersi realmente, ma su un altro pianeta? Se la resa dei conti fosse giunta per altri popoli, dando l’ inizio al conto alla rovescia dell’ultima battaglia? Allora ognuno di loro sarà chiamato a prendervi parte, scegliendo dove schierarsi. Anche le divinità si prepareranno per darsi battaglia. Il vincitore avrà il dominio del pianeta solo fino al prossimo scontro, poiché per il mantenimento degli equilibri necessitano entrambe le parti: Luce e Oscurità, come in tutte le cose, altrimenti regnerebbe il caos.
Villanos fantásticos
El villano nos fascina tanto como el héroe, incluso más, en algunos casos. Muchos creadores y autores han cuidado con más mimo al personaje malvado de sus ficciones que al propio héroe, que muchas veces suele ser plano y poco interesante. ¿Por qué nos atraen los personajes más malos de la ficción? ¿Mentes perversas o genios incomprendidos? En el interior de este libro hay un repaso por las personalidades más viles de la historia de la literatura, el cine y los cómics. 66 villanos en 6 capítulos...el libro más malvado de la historia. Manu González, autor de "Ciudades fantásticas" y "Criaturas fantásticas", ha reunido en este volumen a los malos más malos de la cultura popular, arrojando luz sobre el origen y representación de todos estos villanos, descubriéndonos cómo el mal acecha en cualquier esquina y bajo cualquier apariencia. * Sauron, su dominio es el tormento. * Freddy Krueger, el dueño de tus pesadillas. * Pennywise, el temible payaso alienígena. * Auric Goldfinger, pasión por el oro. * Loki, el dios de las travesuras. * Ra's Al Ghul, cabeza de demonio.

They learn that the only way to do this is by following in the paw prints of Aldwyn’s missing father, who went searching for the Crown several years earlier. This magical spirit trail extends into the Beyond, where our heroes encounter new enemies and danger, while Aldwyn learns about his mysterious past. Full of high-flying adventure and heartwarming friendships, Secrets of the Crown will make readers want to get even more familiar with The Familiars!

Fairest
Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to be pretty . . . Aza's singing is the fairest in all the land, and the most unusual. She can "throw" her voice so it seems to come from anywhere. But singing is only one of the two qualities prized in the Kingdom of Ayortha. Aza doesn't possess the other: beauty. Not even close. She's hidden in the shadows in her parents' inn, but when she becomes lady-in-waiting to the new queen, she has to step into the light—especially when the queen demands a dangerous favor. A magic mirror, a charming prince, a jealous queen, palace intrigue, and an injured king twine into a maze that Aza must penetrate to save herself and her beloved kingdom.

University Priorities and Constraints
Two dozen leaders of the world s most distinguished universities gathered in Glion-above-Montreux, Switzerland, to compare how their institutions best determined their priorities and plans in the face of the many challenges and constraints they face. The increasing globalization of higher education was apparent in many common issues such as financial constraints, completion for outstanding faculty and students, rapidly evolving technologies, and the economic and workforce needs of their regions. Yet the unique characteristics of these universities and their environments they served led to quite different strategies for balancing responsibilities, challenges, and constraints. This volume contains both the papers presented by the participants in the Xth Glion Colloquium as well as summaries of their discussions. It provides a fascinating perspective of the strategic planning of leading universities from around the world."
Authoritarian Fictions
Political ideologies often informed early twentieth-century French novels, creating a hybrid genre that is both "realist" and didactic: the roman thse. In this ground-breaking and critically acclaimed work, Susan Suleiman looks beyond the politics of novels by such authors as Malraux, Mauriac, Sartre, and Aragon, and examines their shared formal and generic features. Although the genre itself is considered antimodern, the critical and interpretive problems it raises are central to an understanding of both realist and modernist writing. "The great virtue of [Suleiman's] book is its ability to synthesize a range of theoretical ideas--whether formalist, structuralist or "reader-response' in the service of a clear and compelling critical argument".--Christopher Norris, The London Review of Books "This book is certainly one of the best examples of semiotic theory put to use for interpretation of literature and its relation to culture".--Thas Morgan, Genre
