The Warlock of Hymal - Book II: The Fall of Hocatin
Back to Hymal, back to the orcs! And everything ends in disaster again, of course. Could Danuwil really be dead? At least Nikko is able to free a prisoner from the orcs' clutches. But who is he? Back home again, everything is even worse. Khondharr marches against Hocatin, and the people of the landgraviate have no choice but to flee.

Besides, Nikko still has a very specific goal of his own, and he can't let himself be distracted from it … *** 175,000 copies sold *** Brand new translation of Germany’s successful independent fantasy series Nikko ran to the prisoners and found, to his relief, that two of them still lived. They were hurt, certainly, but not dead. But at the sight of the shattered head of the third prisoner, a bloody mass swelling from his fracture skull, Nikko could only turn aside and vomit. When he'd recovered, he slid the envoy's dagger from its sheath on his belt and set to work cutting the prisoners' bonds. “Let me do that,” the nobleman said, gasping for air. He had just dispatched the last of the orcs. “Your small blade will take forever.” Null Papier Verlag www.null-papier.de

Nikko, still pale with shock, was on the front half with one of the raftmen, with the rest of the group just behind them on the other half. “Oh, wonderful,” moaned the raftman with Nikko as he poled their half of the raft toward the closest shore, where he lashed it tightly to a tree. The men on the back half of the raft did the same. “What sort of shoddy vessel have you got us on here!?” complained Danuwil loudly. “Are you out of your minds?” Null Papier Verlag www.null-papier.de
The Rhetoric of Topics and Forms
The fourth volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress “The Many Languages of Comparative Literature” includes articles that study thematic and formal elements of literary texts. Although the question of prioritizing either the level of content or that of form has often provoked controversies, most contributions here treat them as internally connected. While theoretical considerations inform many of the readings, the main interest of most articles can be described as rhetorical (in the widest sense) – given that the ancient discipline of rhetoric did not only include the study of rhetorical figures and tropes such as metaphor, irony, or satire, but also that of topoi, which wer...

Cécile
Cécile, die junge Frau des alten Obersten a. D. von St. Arnaud, wird immer wieder von ihrer Vergangenheit eingeholt und droht daran zu zerbrechen. Wie viele Frauen in den Romanen des 19 Jahrhunderts, ist auch diese „Heldin“ hin- und hergerissen zwischen ihren Wünschen und der Moral einer versteinerten Gesellschaft. Die Moderne klopft an, aber Cécile darf ihr nicht öffnen. Der Roman entstand in den Jahren 1884 bis 1886 und bietet ein ausgezeichnetes Gesellschaftsporträt der damaligen Stände und Umstände. Cécile ist eine Frau modernen Typus‘, eine Frau, die nicht in ihre Zeit passt: »Denn die großen Fragen interessieren mich nicht, und ich nehme das Leben, auch jetzt noch, am liebsten als ein Bilderbuch, um darin zu blättern.« Null Papier Verlag www.null-papier.de
Loaded
The 120 Days of Sodom is the Marquis de Sade's masterpiece. A still unsurpassed catalogue of sexual perversions and the first systematic exploration of the psychopathology of sex, it was written during Sade's lengthy imprisonment for sexual deviancy and blasphemy and then lost after the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution in 1789. Later rediscovered, the manuscript remained unpublished until 1936 and is now introduced by Simone de Beauvoir's landmark essay, 'Must We Burn Sade?' Unique in its enduring capacity to shock and provoke, The 120 Days of Sodom must stand as one of the most controversial books ever written, and a fine example of the Libertine novel, a genre inspired by eroticism and anti-establishmentarianism, that effectively ended with the French Revolution.
The Count of Monte Cristo Volume 1 of 2
