Trentatré racconti, pubblicati tra il 1947 e il 1953, di un Philip K. Dick che muove i primi passi nella letteratura fantascientifica: storie che possono essere raggruppate in tre categorie principali, quella basata sul grimmick, la trovata che risolve un complesso quadro di indizi volti a porre l'enigma di una civiltà aliena, quella dei racconti di fantasia, in cui l'immaginazione dickiana può uscire dagli schemi ed esprimersi al meglio, e quella fondata sul tema della guerra, una delle sue ossessioni, che risente ancora delle visioni apocalittiche con cui l'umanità ha visto schiudersi il secondo conflitto mondiale.

Artemisia Gentileschi, già tredicenne ricalcava Dürer, senza vergogna denunciò il pittore Agostino Tassi perché colpevole di averla violentata. Antigone sfidò la legge degli uomini per seppellire il fratello Polinice, accusato di tradimento. Constance Quéniaux, ballerina all'Opéra di Parigi, offrì a Courbet il suo dettaglio più intimo perché dipingesse "L'origine del mondo". La regina Nefertiti, "la Bella che qui viene", incendiò il desiderio del capo scultore di corte, che la consacrò, per quanto imperfetta, nella scultura più seducente che la storia ricordi.

Although they don't yet know it, they're arrayed against forces they can scarcely imagine and fighting against a fate far worse then they realize.

Vanessa, vent'anni, decide di scappare di casa per intraprendere un viaggio sulle tracce del tragitto migratorio di una farfalla che porta il suo stesso nome, la Vanessa del Cardo: è una farfalla speciale che attraversa l'Europa partendo dalla Norvegia per arrivare, infine, in Marocco.

L'impossibilità di accettare quel lutto la spinge a partire, a fuggire da coloro che ama per evitare di contagiarli con la sua "sfortuna", alla ricerca di un senso nella propria esistenza.

Esta novela de la narradora española Marisa D'Santos, de larga radicación en México, se desarrolla totalmente en una localidad de provincia, en España. El ámbito general de la guerra en España de los años 30 y la posterior dictadura franquista envuelven el destino de cada personaje en una especie de fatalismo que nos hace pensar en los extremos pasionales —vida, amor y muerte— de la tragedia clásica. El ámbito pueblerino se presenta con tal fidelidad a la propia invención de la autora, que adquiere valores plásticos, sonoros, sensoriales, táctiles, etc., en verdad incanjeables.

Kevin Swift doesn’t know what to think anymore. His love for Lindsay has dwindled, his mind is constantly plagued by thoughts of Lilian, and now he has to deal with his sexy housemate’s maid: A kimono-clad, katana-wielding femme fatale who doesn't like him very much—and who has this weird tendency of adding Japanese suffixes to everyone’s name for some reason.

Magic is real, and Reggie Hickson just got invited to be a wizard school summer camp transfer. Reggie was a self-made businessman who'd pulled himself and his oddball dad out of poverty through sheer determination and the glory of YouTube tutorials. Pretty impressive, honestly. That was until a three-inch tall sprite emerged from his coffee mug and told him he was a wizard. Scratch that—a warlock. Apparently there's a difference, and that difference involves stuff we probably shouldn't go into in this good Christian blurb.
