Download or read book I Bonsai di Carmilla written by AA.VV. and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il bonsai è una piccola opera d'arte in botanica. Una pianta perfetta in miniatura, nelle sue misure così ristrette, identica in tutto e per tutto al suo simile, ma decine di volte più piccola. Ogni ramo, ogni foglia, ogni venatura nel tronco, sono il risultato di un'evoluzione naturale modificata dal tocco umano. Riuscire a creare un bonsai è anch'essa un'arte. Bisogna saper fare le giuste incisioni e le giuste potature nei posti e nel momento giusti. Il segreto di tale arte è il tempo: avere la pazienza di aspettare e osservare i minuscoli cambiamenti della pianta nel corso della sua crescita e agire su di essa, come un artista con la sua opera d'arte, facendole esprimere tutta l'energia che è racchiusa in una pianta grande. I Bonsai di Carmilla volevano essere proprio questo: una sfida rivolta a giovani autori nel riuscire a creare un racconto, a inventare una storia appassionante - e soprattutto compiuta - in uno spazio bianco fisicamente molto ristretto.

Book excerpt: 'Francesco Verso brings classic cyberpunk attitude to grand romantic obsession . . . a thoughtful meditation on what it means to be human and an exciting peek into a world that is just around the corner.' - James Patrick Kelly (Nebula, Locus and Hugo Award winner) In a future where most of Earth into a junk heap, Peter Payne is a trashformer, a scavenger, a kid under the thumb of a world too brutal to stay human. When his chance to change his fate is violently torn away, he embarks on a quest to rebuild the object of his obsession. Examining themes such as cybernetics, prosthetics, consumerism, robotics and transcendence, Nexhuman expands on classic science fiction to build a world as deep and searching as its main character. First published in Italian by Delos Books in 2013. First English edition published in Fantastica 2014 as Livid, rereleased 2015 as Nexhuman.
Download or read book The Diary of Lady Murasaki written by Murasaki Shikibu and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1996-03-07 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Diary recorded by Lady Murasaki (c. 973-c. 1020), author of The Tale of Genji, is an intimate picture of her life as tutor and companion to the young Empress Shoshi. Told in a series of vignettes, it offers revealing glimpses of the Japanese imperial palace - the auspicious birth of a prince, rivalries between the Emperor's consorts, with sharp criticism of Murasaki's fellow ladies-in-waiting and drunken courtiers, and telling remarks about the timid Empress and her powerful father, Michinaga. The Diary is also a work of great subtlety and intense personal reflection, as Murasaki makes penetrating insights into human psychology - her pragmatic observations always balanced by an exquisite and pensive melancholy.
Download or read book BloodBusters written by Francesco Verso and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if taxes were paid through blood withdrawals? What if tax evasion was a crime punishable with imprisonment and enforced by the Bloodbusters? What if donating blood was illegal? In a grotesque Rome, BloodBuster Alan Costa falls in love with Anissa Malesano, a compulsive donor for AN underworld organisation who gives her blood to anyone in need. As a web of deceit and treachery spreads wide around Alan, he begins to wonder if he can trust his colleagues or even his own boss. When Anissa is jailed for tax evasion, Alan is faced with a choice that could cost him everything. Winner of the Urania Award "Full of savage humour, Francesco Verso imagines a tax system in Italy based upon blood. Amazingly this has nothing to do with actual zombies (to bend a bit the word 'actual'). Weirdly, BloodBusters is plausible and powerfully written, a high- spirited page-turner thanks to a great translation by Sally McCorry. Definitely this is the book to read after a holiday in Rome (though maybe not before). I shan't forget in a hurry Verso's Intravenous Revenue or the haemergency sirens and flashers of the taxbulance." Ian Watson, author of the screen story for Steven Spielberg's A.I.

Download or read book The Essential Raymond Durgnat written by Henry K. Miller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raymond durgnat was a maverick voice during the golden age of film criticism.

At once evoking the film culture of his own times and anticipating our digital age in which technology allows everyone to create their own 'moving image-text combos', durgnat's writings touch on crucial questions in film criticism that resonate more than ever today. Bringing together durgnat's essential writing for the very first time, this career-spanning collection includes previously unpublished and untranslated work and is thoroughly introduced and annotated by Henry K. Miller.
