Zum Glück haben die beiden Kinder den chaotischen, liebenswerten Schnerg Gorbo zum Freund. Größter Fan der Schnerge war wohl J.R.R. Tolkien, dem die Originalversion des Textes als Vorbild für den "kleinen Hobbit" diente.

This year’s selection of science fiction and fantasy stories, chosen by series editor John Joseph Adams and bestselling author of the Divergent series Veronica Roth, showcases a crop of authors that are willing to experiment and tantalize readers with new takes on classic themes and by exchanging the ordinary for the avant-garde. Folktales and lore come alive, the dead rise, the depths of space are traversed, and magic threads itself through singular moments of love and loss, illuminating the circulatory nature of life, death, the in-between, and the hereafter.

A leading psychiatrist shows how the mysteries of the brain are illuminated at the extremes of human experience. A twinge of sadness, a rush of love, a knot of loss, a whiff of regret. Memories have the power to move us, often when we least expect it, a sign of the complex neural process that continues in the background of our everyday lives. A process that shapes us: filtering the world around us, informing our behaviour and feeding our imagination. As a practising psychiatrist, Veronica O'Keane has spent many years observing how memory and experience are interwoven.
