Se volete avere uninfluenza benefica sugli esseri umani, entrate ogni giorno in contatto col sole per ricevere da lui alcune particelle che comunicherete agli altri. Il sole e lunico che puo mettervi nellumore migliore verso gli esseri umani. Finche non si segue quel modello di calore e di luce, ci si lascia andare a manifestazioni inferiori. Guardate che cosa accade nel mondo: si vedono solo persone che vogliono approfittare degli altri, asservirli e schiacciarli. Tutto cio non e certo edificante! Con il sole, invece, avete limmagine di un essere raggiante, generoso, e ne venite influenzati. E anche ammettendo che non sia una creatura intelligente e ragionevole come la sintende abitualmente, anche solo il contatto con la sua luce e con il suo calore non puo che ispirarvi pensieri piu vasti e sentimenti piu fraterni. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Nerone e passato alla storia come il simbolo della follia al potere: limperatore incendiario, il persecutore dei cristiani, lartista vanitoso incapace di governare. Ma quanto di questa immagine e frutto della propaganda dei suoi nemici e dei vincitori?In Nerone.

"The shadows of Cappercullen hold more than just memories; they hold the restless spirits of those we betrayed."Returning to the rugged landscape of Munster, Le Fanu weaves a tale of the doomed De Lacy family. Ultor De Lacy, a man whose family was ruined by their loyalty to the lost Jacobite cause, lives a shadow of a life in the decaying Tower of Cappercullen. But the physical ruin of his estate is nothing compared to the spiritual rot within. When his daughters encounter a mysterious and beautiful stranger in the woods, they unknowingly reopen a door to a supernatural debt that has remained unpaid for generations. It is a story where political exile meets ghostly visitation, proving that for the De Lacys, the war never truly ended.History Haunted by Myth: Le Fanu brilliantly utilizes the real-world tension of the 18th-century Jacobite rebellions to ground his ghost story. The "legend" isnt just a campfire tale; it is a manifestation of the trauma of a defeated aristocracy. The ghosts of Cappercullen are symbols of a bygone era that refuses to die or stay silent.The "Stranger" in the Woods: A recurring theme in Le Fanus work is the deceptive nature of the supernatural. The figure who haunts the periphery of the De Lacy estate is both alluring and terrifying, representing the "Otherworld" of Irish folklore. The story explores the vulnerability of innocence when faced with an ancient, calculating evil.Atmospheric Mastery: From the "death-tick" in the walls to the chilling descriptions of the secret chamber hidden within the tower, Le Fanu builds a sense of mounting dread. Ultor De Lacy is a masterclass in the "liminal" ghost storywhere the horror is found in the transition between the historical world we know and the spectral world we fear.Step into the tower of shadows.

"A spectre is haunting Europethe spectre of communism."In a world transformed by the Industrial Revolution, Marx and Engels set out to decode the hidden mechanics of society. They argue that all of human history is the history of class struggles: the constant friction between those who own the means of production and those who sell their labor to survive. The Communist Manifesto is a call to action that envisions a future beyond exploitation, predicting the inevitable rise of the working class and the transition to a classless, stateless society. Whether viewed as a historical artifact or a living critique of global economics, this text remains essential for understanding the modern world.The Great Divide: Bourgeoisie vs. Proletariat: The Manifesto famously defines the two warring camps of the industrial age. The Bourgeoisie (the ruling capitalist class) are described as a revolutionary force that "shattered" feudalism but created a system of "naked self-interest." Opposing them is the Proletariat (the working class), whom Marx describes as the "grave-diggers" of the very system that created them.The Ten-Point Program: In the second section, the authors lay out a controversial and radical set of measures for the "most advanced countries," including the abolition of private land ownership, a heavy progressive income tax, and the centralization of credit and communication in the hands of the state. These points sparked over a century of political experimentation and debate across every continent.A Legacy of Global Change: From the revolutions of 1917 to the modern labor movements of the 21st century, the rhetoric of the Manifesto has been used to challenge the status quo. Its closing cry"Working Men of All Countries, Unite!"remains one of the most famous slogans in human language, symbolizing the birth of international political solidarity.Analyze the roots of the modern world.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) was an American writer, poet, literary critic and essayist, recognized as one of the greatest writers of horror literature together with Edgar Allan Poe and considered by many to be one of the precursors of Anglo-American science fiction. His works, a contamination between horror, soft science fiction, dark fantasy and low fantasy, have often been described, even by himself, with the term weird fiction (where weird stands for "strange"), being recognized among the main origins of the modern literary genre of the new weird.The Dreams in the Witch House is a short horror story by Howard Phillips Lovecraft, first published in the July 1933 issue of Weird Tales. It represents a pinnacle of Lovecrafts later style, where he successfully bridges the gap between traditional Gothic horror and the emerging genre of science fiction. The story is set in the fictional, mist-shrouded city of Arkham, Massachusetts, a recurring location in the Cthulhu Mythos.The narrative follows Walter Gilman, a student of mathematics and folklore at Miskatonic University. Driven by a morbid curiosity, Gilman rents a room in the "Witch House", a building rumored to have been the home of Keziah Mason, an old woman who escaped the Salem witch trials in 1692. Gilman is particularly interested in the house because of its strange architecture; the walls and ceilings are built at odd, non-Euclidean angles that seem to defy physical laws.As Gilman delves deeper into his studies of quantum physics and higher dimensions, he begins to experience feverish dreams. In these nightmares, he is pulled through the sharp angles of his room into abysses of cosmic space, guided by the crone Keziah Mason and her familiar, Brown Jenkina grotesque, human-faced rat. The story suggests that what ancient legends called "witchcraft" was actually a primitive understanding of mathematics and the ability to travel through the fourth dimension.

"It was the face of a man who had died in a paroxysm of terror."Two young medical students, seeking a quiet place to study, rent a massive, dilapidated old house in Dublins Aungier Street. But the silence they seek is soon shattered by heavy, unseen footsteps, the scratching of a giant rat, and the terrifying apparition of a large man with a crimson velvet waistcoat. They soon discover the houses dark history: it was once the residence of a notorious "hanging judge" who took his own life within its walls. As the atmosphere grows increasingly oppressive, the students realize that the Judges spirit is not merely wanderingit is actively seeking a new victim.The Master of Atmospheric Dread: Le Fanu is a pioneer of psychological horror. In this story, he uses the "uncanny"taking a familiar domestic space and making it feel wrong. The horror isnt just in the ghost itself, but in the growing sense of unease, the shadows that move on their own, and the feeling of being watched by something that "ought not to be there."The Legacy of the "Hanging Judge": The figure of the Judge represents a common theme in Le Fanus work: the past refusing to stay buried. The Judges cruelty in life translates into a predatory supernatural presence in death. The storys climax is a masterclass in suspense, as one of the students finds himself paralyzed by the gaze of the long-dead jurist.A Classic for Fans of the Macabre: Often cited as one of the greatest ghost stories ever written, this tale influenced a generation of horror writers, including M.R. James. It is a brief but unforgettable journey into the heart of a haunted city.Open the door to Aungier Street. Purchase this classic of Gothic horror today.
