Courage and achievement are celebrated and questioned, paradoxes examined, and human frailty appreciated in fifteen tales, at once lyrical and provocative, ranging fromthe fantastic to the achingly real. Be it a tale of an expulsion from Eden, a journey through time, the dreams of a failed writer, ora dead woman''s ambiguous legacy, each story in Novelties & Souvenirs is a glorious reading experience, offering delights to be savored ... and remembered.

Tout ce territoire appartenait aux O’Neill, et ce depuis toujours. Voici l’histoire de Hugh O’Neill, seigneur d’Ulster, qui vécut entre deux mondes : la terre d’Irlande, celle des contes et des légendes où les sidhe protègent les O’Neill, et l’Angleterre, où il a été élevé, afin qu’il puisse « comme un jeune faucon, revenir plus volontiers au poing anglais ». Quand la reine Élisabeth lui susurre ordres et mots doux à travers un miroir enchanté par un mage de sa cour, John Dee, les anciens peuples d’Irlande, sortis de terre pour en faire leur champion, mettent en lui leur espoir de victoire et d’indépendance. John Crowley conte la chute d’un homme ; et celle, plus grande encore, d’une culture – sa magie, ses histoires, sa langue. Mais si ces disparitions semblent refléter l’inéluctabilité de nos destins, nous sommes de fait les porteurs de nos histoires, car nous les écrivons nous-mêmes. La fin d’un temps n’est pas la fin du poète. Par le lauréat du Grand Prix de l’Imaginaire 2020

"Crowley is generous, obsessed, fascinating, gripping. Really, I think Crowley is so good that he has left everybody else in the dust."—Peter Straub From award-winning author John Crowley comes a novel that masterfully blends history and magic in Flint and Mirror. As ancient Irish clans fought to preserve their lands and their way of life, the Queen and her generals fought to tame the wild land and make it English. Hugh O''Neill, lord of the North, dubbed Earl of Tyrone by the Queen, is a divided man: the Queen gives to Hugh her love, and her commandments, through a little mirror of obsidian which he can never discard; and the ancient peoples of Ireland arise from their underworld to make Hugh their champion, the token of their vow a chip of flint. From the masterful author of Little, Big comes an exquisite fantasy of heartbreaking proportion. At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Clemson and Alabama opened their 2008 seasons against each other with the Tide winning. Little did we know that game would lead to both programs reemerging as dynasties and dominating College Football in the Early days of the Playoff System.

The University of Florida hired Urban Meyer in 2005 to restore the championship contention years under Steve Spurrier, which Urban Meyer did. In Meyer''s second season in Florida, they won the national championship in 2006, followed with another championship two years later; and then he left two years later. He left the program in a bigger mess than when he came in. This book talks about the events before, during, and after Meyer''s tenure, including the long road getting back to the glory years.

Reading John Crowley’s stories is to see almost-familiar lives running parallel to our own, secret histories that never quite happened, memories that might be real or might be invented. In the thirteen stories collected here, Crowley sets his imagination free to roam from a 20th century Shakespeare festival to spring break at a future Yale in his Edgar Award winning story “Spring Break”. And in the previously unpublished “Anosognosia” the world brought about by one John C.’s high-school accident may or may not exist.

Dar Oakley ist die erste Krähe der Weltgeschichte, die einen eigenen Namen bekommt. Sie erfindet eine Sprache für das Krähenvolk, fliegt in die Anderswelt und stiehlt versehentlich die Unsterblichkeit. In zahlreichen Leben freundet sie sich mit Menschen aus verschiedenen Epochen an, erlebt Cäsars Eroberung Galliens, entdeckt mit dem Heiligen Brendan Amerika – immer auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit über Leben und Tod. Bis sie in einer Zeit, in der unsere Welt bereits in Trümmern liegt, einen Menschen findet, dem sie ihre Geschichte erzählen kann. Denn wahre Unsterblichkeit liegt in den Geschichten, die immer weiter erzählt werden ... Autor John Crowley schreibt eine epische Saga über das Reich der Krähen, die Welt der Menschen und die unsterbliche Kunst des Geschichtenerzählens.

“Ka is a beautiful, often dreamlike late masterpiece.” —Los Angeles Times “One of our country’s absolutely finest novelists.” —Peter Straub, New York Times bestselling author of Interior Darkness and Ghost Story From award-winning author John Crowley comes an exquisite fantasy novel about a man who tells the story of a crow named Dar Oakley and his impossible lives and deaths in the land of Ka. A Crow alone is no Crow. Dar Oakley—the first Crow in all of history with a name of his own—was born two thousand years ago. When a man learns his language, Dar finally gets the chance to tell his story. He begins his tale as a young man, and how he went down to the human underworld and got hold of the immortality meant for humans, long before Julius Caesar came into the Celtic lands; how he sailed West to America with the Irish monks searching for the Paradise of the Saints; and how he continuously went down into the land of the dead and returned. Through his adventures in Ka, the realm of Crows, and around the world, he found secrets that could change the humans’ entire way of life—and now may be the time to finally reveal them.

Eine zeitlose Geschichte von Liebe, Vertrauen, Poesie und Politik Während der Kuba-Krise begegnen sich eine amerikanische Übersetzerin und ein mysteriöser russischer Dichter im Exil. Ihre Beziheung und ihr Versuch, gemeinsam seine Gedichte zu übersetzen, sind der Hintergrund eines wunderbar melancholischen Romans, der sich auf mehreren Zeitebenen entfaltet und zugleich Spionagethriller, Liebesgeschichte und Meditation über die Macht der Worte ist. "Großartig ernsthaft – es geht um nichts weniger als die Seelen von Nationen und die transformative Macht von Sprache." NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

John Crowley''s all-new essay “Totalitopia” is a wry how-to guide for building utopias out of the leftovers of modern science fiction. “This Is Our Town,” written especially for this volume, is a warm, witty, and wonderfully moving story about angels, cousins, and natural disasters based on a parochial school third-grade reader. One of Crowley’s hard-to-find masterpieces, “Gone” is a Kafkaesque science fiction adventure about an alien invasion that includes door-to-door leafleting and yard work. Perhaps the most entertaining of Crowley''s “Easy Chair” columns in Harper''s, “Everything That Rises” explores the fractal interface between Russian spiritualism and quantum singularities—with a nod to both Columbus and Flannery O''Connor. “And Go Like This” creeps in from Datlow''s Year''s Best, the Wild Turkey of horror anthologies. Plus: There''s a bibliography, an author bio, and of course our Outspoken Interview, the usual cage fight between candor and common sense.

Description: Signed with “X” mark. Detailing service is to span three years during the present war.

Often described as an alchemical allegory, John Crowley instead decided this is “the first science fiction novel.” After all “it’s fiction; it’s about the possibilities of a science; and it’s a novel.” No matter what else it might be, it’s definitely “one of the great outlandish stories in Western literature.” Illustrated throughout with weird and fascinating woodcuts by Theo Fadel.

John Crowley''s accessible new translation of Johan Valentin Andreae''s seventeenth-century romance The Chemical Wedding by Christian Rosencreutz: A Romance in Eight Days highlights the novelty, marvels, and outlandish humor of Christian Rosencreutz''s seven day journey to assist at a royal wedding --

Compiling scholarly essays from a unique three-year Democracy, Culture and Catholicism International Research Project, Democracy, Culture, Catholicism richly articulates the diverse and dynamic interplay of democracy, culture, and Catholicism in the contemporary world. The twenty-five essays from four extremely diverse cultures—those of Indonesia, Lithuania, Peru, and the United States—explore the relationship between democracy and Catholicism from several perspectives, including historical and cultural analysis, political theory and conflict resolution, social movements and Catholic social thought.

John Crowley evokes, with absolute precision, the ordinary-and not so ordinary-moments that reflect and illuminate the essential nature of family life. Moving gracefully back and forth between the imaginary planet Brxx and our own familiar Earth, this deeply affecting tale examines the primal importance of stories, while challenging some of our most common misconceptions about those who are "different" and those who are not.

There is more than one history of the world. Before science defined the modern age, other powers, wondrous and magical, once governed the universe, their lore perfected within a lost capital of hieroglyphs, wizard-kings, and fabulous monuments. In the 1970s, a historian named Pierce Moffett moves to the New England countryside to write a book about Ægypt, driven by an idea he dare not believe: that the physical laws of the universe once changed and may change again. Yet the notion is not his alone. Something waits at the locked estate of Fellowes Kraft, author of romances about Will Shakespeare and Giordano Bruno and Dr. John Dee, something for which Pierce and those near him have long sought without knowing it: a key, perhaps, to Ægypt ...

Endless Things is the fourth and final installment in Crowley''s Aegypt sequence. Spanning three centuries, and weaving together the stories of Renaissance magician John Dee, philosopher Giordano Bruno, and present-day itinerant historian and writer Pierce Moffitt, the Aegypt sequence is as richly significant as Lawrence Durrell''s Alexandria Quartet or Anthony Powell''s Dance to the Music of Time. Crowley, a master prose stylist, explores transformations physical, magical, alchemical, and personal in this epic, distinctly American novel where the past, present, and future reflect each other.

His name is Caspar Last, and this is the unique chronicle of the vacation he took from the twentieth century. It begins - or does it? - when Caspar, a genius, poor of course, and resentful at that, decides to use his "time machine" to bring back a modest fortune. It begins - or maybe it doesn''t - with a mysterious bequest to a secret Otherhood charged with preserving and extending the British Empire at any cost. From the bold colonial days of empire-builder Cecil Rhodes through the wide-eyed and wondrous possibilities of the present to a strange and haunting future of magi and angels, of men and many races other than our own, John Crowley''s time-travel masterpiece surfs bravely along "the infinite, infinitely broken coastline of Time" to tell a story that takes place neither here nor there, but everywhen.

Once the world was not as it has since become. Once it worked in a way different from the way it works now... Pierce Moffett is a teacher and historian who at midlife feels himself to be standing at a great turning point in the history of the world. As a child, Pierce was no stranger to magic, but those revelations faded with time. Now Pierce''s search for a secret history of the world - one in which magic works and angels speak to humankind - has begun again. Pierce finds clues offered to him in the unfinished last novel of a writer named Fellowes Kraft and in the real-life histories of the doomed Renaissance heretic Giordano Bruno and the Elizabethan magus John Dee. He will also find the secret history pervading his present in his involvement with two Roses: Rosie Rasmussen, guardian of the dead Kraft''s legacy, and Rose Ryder, who will soon become his lover.

La fragmentación ideológica y la elevada tasa de paro amenazan la estabilidad de Estados Unidos. Los experimentos científicos con fines militares que consisten en mezclar el ADN humano con el de ciertos animales tocan a su fin por falta de financiación, y los mutantes son abandonados a su suerte, sin trabajo ni protección social, pues no se les considera humanos. En un clima de máxima tensión, violentos grupos de bárbaros y anarquistas luchan contra los agentes del Sindicato por la Ingeniería Social, quienes planean hacerse con el control total. Lo único que ambas facciones tienen en común es su odio hacia los leos. Todos están en contra de esas criaturas, mitad hombres, mitad animales, esos depredadores a quienes los hombres llaman bestias.

Smoky Barnable es un joven anodino que viaja a pie desde la ciudad hasta un lugar de nombre Edgewood, que no figura en ningún mapa, con la intención de casarse con Daily Alice Drinkwater, tal y como le han profetizado. Es una historia épica de cuatro generaciones de una peculiar familia que vive en una casa que es muchas casas. Pero también es la historia de un amor fantástico, de una pérdida desgarradora, de cosas imposibles y destinos inamovibles, y de la visión de un futuro distópico en el que Estados Unidos es gobernado por un déspota siniestro.

Escritores do século 18 ao 20, entre escritores clássicos e renovadores da Ficção Científica, criam contos em que o amor e o sexo vencem os limites do tempo e da morte e onde máquinas estendem para além do imaginável as paixões e os prazeres.

Studies that are unimpeachably thorough, non-political, unbiased, and properly designed These are the standards to which everyone in clinical research aspires. Yet, the difficulties in designing trials and interpreting data are subtle and ever present. The new edition of Clinical Trials in Oncology provides a concise, nontechnical, and now
