It's only time travel. What could go wrong? Let us show you! What you hold in your hands is a singular opportunity to witness paradox at its worst! When it comes to time, all things are relative, including the elasticity of causality. Writers from all over the world have come together to bring you a wide array of tales from witty and whimsical to dark and dire, exploring the age-old axiom: when you tick-off time, sooner or later, he's going to quantum your physics. Here is a tachyon of what you can expect in this cosmic collection of temporal distress: ancient artifacts, mad scientists, and wardens of time. There are government conspiracies, corporate cover-ups, presidential assassinations, and deadly betrayals. And what science fiction-fantasy collaboration would be complete without impending Armageddon, a host of doomsday invaders, tears in the time space, and killer robot bunnies? There is so much more! I hope this has been enough perturbation to convince you to crack open this event horizon into crumbling alternate dimensions, and read about the hapless byproducts of warped imaginations.

Wer aufhört zu suchen, der findet, sagt eine alte buddhistische Weisheit.Die Protagonisten in Hermann Amelings Erzählungen haben aufgehört zu suchen und sie haben sich gefunden. Gut möglich, dass es auf der Welt nur einen einzigen Menschen gibt, der zum jeweils anderen passt - verwandte Seelen.Das Schicksal geht manchmal seltsame und verschlungene Pfade, um diese Seelen zusammenzubringen. Hermann Ameling erzählt uns Geschichten von Menschen, die sich an den unterschiedlichsten Orten der Erde begegnen, und nicht immer enden diese Episoden auch glücklich.

Ready to feel the chills running down your spine? Wait, that's just the green gelatin monster from one of the stories in this collection of very silly (and a few not-so-silly) horror stories. Vampires, werewolves, demons, mummies, and zombies compete with evil little Shirley Temple look-alikes and their collectibles, centerpieces and church women, cops and monster hunters, for your laughs. It's a light-hearted take on the horror genre.

This new book explores the music of the great composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594), its surrounding history and still unfolding potential. It follows the music from love poetry, through changing events in the Church Year, to the composer's record-breaking 104 Mass settings, uncovering many neglected treasures on the way. Its approach is accessible and largely non-technical. There is a focus on relationships with text, belief and ceremony, the individual melodic lines, and the richly interweaving voice parts (cantus, alto, tenor, bass). Not least, the author explores diverse ways - emotional, devotional, imaginative - of enjoying and responding to the music.Here is music which excels in subtle differentiation, equality, consonance and cordiality between the voice parts. Much of it can be interpreted as symbolising ideal community and core beliefs about the eternal God. There is a striking avoidance of tight metricality, mighty forces, tumult or disjunction. The music's leading values are those of clarity, balance, affectionate concord and graceful flowingness.{WHAT SOME LEADING PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK}'Historian Jonathan Boswell has brought a lifetime's fascination with the life and music of Palestrina to bear in a new book, the first accessible general guide in English to appear for several decades' (EARLY MUSIC TODAY, News, June 2019).'Anyone interested in exploring Palestrina should start with this account ..I very much applaud the author' (PETER PHILLIPS, The Tallis Scholars). 'So refreshing, so personal, so illuminating ...I loved this book' (HARRY CHRISTOPHERS, The Sixteen). 'A very valuable contribution to the field, and it will immensely enrich all those who engage with it' (CHIARA BERTOGLIO, Professor of Musicology, University of Bologna). 'Cannot fail to move and stimulate the reader' (PATRICK RUSSILL, Royal College of Music). 'A much needed book .. it's first class' (ANDREW CARWOOD, St Paul's Cathedral & The Cardinall's Musick).'Wonderful, welcome, long overdue ...an invaluable guide to programming Palestrina's music for both the liturgy and concert hall ....not merely setting the seal on the rehabilitation of a much-misunderstood master, but also teaching one how to hear, appreciate and absorb the internal workings of Palestrina's counterpoint, rather than be distracted by the line highest in pitch ....a grand demystification of both man & music ...there isn't a word too many ....It should be on the shelves of music students, choir directors, church musicians, academics, singers (both amateur & professional), and listeners' (CHOIR AND ORGAN, REBECCA TAVENER, January 2020)'Palestrina for All should be bought and read carefully by anyone either new to (Renaissance) choral polyphony, or to 'early' music in general... The audience probably also includes many who already feel at home and familiar with Palestrina' ...an accessible and comprehensive study ...apposite choice of examples and delicate evaluations ...Self-published to a very high standard ...what is now the best introductory volume ....Jonathan Boswell's excellent contribution will suit the general reader and inquiring specialist very well indeed' (Mark Sealey, MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL).'An insightful overview that balances analyses of specific passages of the composer's output with thoughts on its enduring legacy & impact. Boswell's writing illuminates Palestrina's music so convincingly that one must pause ... find a recording, and listen in rapt attention to the features he has uncovered .... He 'unwraps' Palestrina's music for the singer, listener and scholar admirably in this well-written & insightful volume, and for this we are grateful' (The Choral Journal, Ian Loeppky).

A Celtic fae warrior caught between a wrathful goddess and the young woman he loves ... "Reminiscent of fairy tales with their God-like heroes and strong, yet kind damsels in distress. You won't want to put it down." ★★★★★ "I thought this book was exciting. A little bit of everything. Adventure, love, magic. Loved it!" ★★★★★ "Great book! I love this entire series. You really get caught up in the lives of all the characters. I am hooked." ★★★★★ At the end of the long hallway I stepped through the broken stone and out onto the terrace behind the castle. The waterfall cascading down the steep hillside overwhelmed me with its mist, but I brushed aside its icy chill and headed for the second staircase that led into the caverns. Using touch alone, I located the dolmarehn that would take me to the foot of the Weald and stepped through. As the magic overcame me, I thought about Meghan, telling myself she was safe under Fergus's care and that soon I would see her familiar face once again. Caedehn MacRoich was sent to the mortal world for one purpose: to hunt the Morrigan's renegade faelah. But he never anticipated stumbling upon Meghan Elam, a young woman from his own realm, nor did he expect to fall in love with her. Fate, however, had other plans for Cade and when he broke his own geis to keep Meghan safe, the Morrigan demanded retribution for his disobedience. Now, in order to guarantee Meghan's safety Cade must make a sacrifice that very well may drive him mad. With the Celtic goddess of war playing tricks with his mind, Cade is called upon to perform another duty. The Amsihria of the north, an elusive sect of women responsible for taming Eile's powerful weather, are under attack by a horrible monster from another realm. With the help of his sister and her companions, Cade embarks on a journey that will take him beyond the edge of the Weald and further away from Meghan. Along the way he will be forced to contend with the Morrigan's continuous assaults as well as his own doubts and fears, all the while knowing that the young woman he's grown to love remains vulnerable in the mortal world.

Bem-vindo ao universo extraordinario de Machado de Assis, um dos maiores vultos da literatura Luso-Brasileira de sempre. Nesta edição de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, trazemos até si a melhor edição esta admirável peça literária do final do século XIX. Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas é um romance escrito por Machado de Assis, desenvolvido em princípio como folhetim, de março a dezembro de 1880, e publicado como livro no ano seguinte. O livro marca um tom cáustico e novo estilo na obra de Machado de Assis, bem como audácia e inovação temática no cenário literário nacional, que o fez receber, à época, resenhas estranhadas. Confessando adotar a "forma livre" de Laurence Sterne em seu Tristram Shandy (1759-67), ou de Xavier de Maistre, o autor, com Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas, rompe com a narração linear e objetivista de autores proeminentes da época como Flaubert e Zola para retratar o Rio de Janeiro e sua época em geral com pessimismo, ironia e indiferença - um dos fatores que fizeram com que fosse amplamente considerada a obra que iniciou o Realismo no Brasil. Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas retrata a escravidão, as classes sociais, o cientificismo e o positivismo da época, chegando a criar, inclusive, uma nova filosofia, mais desenvolvida posteriormente em Quincas Borba (1891) - o Humanitismo, sátira à lei do mais forte. Críticos escrevem que, com esse romance, Machado de Assis precedeu elementos do Modernismo e do realismo mágico de escritores como Jorge Luis Borges e Julio Cortázar, e, de fato, alguns autores chamam-na "primeira narrativa fantástica do Brasil". O livro influenciou escritores como John Barth, Donald Barthelme e Ciro dos Anjos e é notado como uma das obras mais revolucionárias e inovadoras da literatura brasileira. Mesmo depois de mais de um século de sua publicação original, Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas ainda tem recebido inúmeros estudos e interpretações, adaptações para diversas mídias e com varias traduções para outras línguas. Esperamos que tenha tanto prazer a ler esta obra clássica quanto aquele que nós, Cascais Classic Editions, tivemos a trazer-lha até si. Deixe-se levar pelos sonhos... Oliver Garrett

Set in Cleveland, this novel begins in 1945 at the close of World War II and ends in 1968 at the height of the Viet Nam War. It is the story of a multi-generational family's struggle to remain united as each member grapples with individual painful memories of abandonment, betrayal, sickness, and war. On the verge of healing, they are further traumatized by the revelation of long-buried, shameful secrets which force them to question the boundaries of loyalty, mercy, and forgiveness.

If you enjoy poetry, then you will enjoy these poems that originate from deep meditation upon the world and people making up this world. These poems reveal deep thoughts and desires but they also point to the bleakness of reality. The poet raises his voice against oppression and terrorism and speaks against war, terrorism and violence, with the same easiness he finds in revealing the deepest desires of the heart. Contradictions depicts nuances that people usually don't want to notice or try to hide. Ghosh's darker poems touch on the erosion of the human values and point to the greed for power leading to destruction. In the poet's words: "Man's craving to stand up against all that is negative, all that is against human values - to stand up against oppression and injustice had been juxtaposed with man's eternal wish to take refuge in the Eternal, the Divine. Side by side poems of great human values, there are lighter reads on love bordering on mischievous take on the fair sex."

The format is 6 '' x 9 ''. I hope you enjoy my book. I would also be very grateful if you could write a review.Thank you.Best regards, Andrii Pitenk
