SAKHALIN ISLAND

The best speculative fiction currently being written' John Connolly. From the ground, we stand. From our ship, we live. By the stars, we hope. The incredible new novel by Becky Chambers, author of the beloved The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. #SpacebornFew Centuries after the last humans left Earth, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, a place many are from but few outsiders have seen. Humanity has finally been accepted into the galactic community, but while this has opened doors for many, those who have not yet left for alien cities fear that their carefully cultivated way of life is under threat. Tessa chose to stay home when her brother Ashby left for the stars, but has to question that decision when her position in the Fleet is threatened. Kip, a reluctant young apprentice, itches for change but doesn't know where to find it. Sawyer, a lost and lonely newcomer, is just looking for a place to belong. And when a disaster rocks this already fragile community, those Exodans who still call the Fleet their home can no longer avoid the inescapable question: What is the purpose of a ship that has reached its destination?

It must be possible to find a balance,' I say, `between deathly boredom and a too-violent life.' `There isn't a balance,' he says. `It's always all or nothing.' Lili is a runaway. She's left behind a humdrum existence in France to go in search of freedom, of adventure, of life. Her search takes her to the island of Kodiak, Alaska, home to a rag-tag community of fishermen, army vets and drifters who man the island's boats and trawlers. Despite her tiny frame, faltering English and total lack of experience, when the fishing season begins Lili lands a job on board the Rebel - one of the toughest gigs in town. The work is harder than anything she's ever known, and as the only woman on the ship, she's forced to prove her worth time and again. Inwardly, she rails against her callous crewmembers; outwardly, she struggles to speak loud enough and make herself understood. Lili is tough and determined though - she has nothing to lose, after all - and at sea she finally finds the intensity of life she's been looking for. But when, slowly, undeniably, she begins to fall in love with a fellow sailor, she needs to decide whether she is willing to compromise her newfound freedom.

The first volume in Issac Asimov's world-famous saga, winner of the Hugo Award for Best All-Time Novel Series. Long after Earth was forgotten, a peaceful and unified galaxy took shape, an Empire governed from the majestic city-planet of Trantor. The system worked, and grew, for countless generations. Everyone believed it would work forever. Everyone except Hari Seldon. As the great scienctific thinker of his age Seldon could not be ignored. Reluctantly, the Commission of Public Safety agreed to finance the Seldon Plan.The coming disaster was predicted by Seldon's advances in psychohistory, the mathematics of very large human numbers, and it could not be averted. The Empire was doomed. Soon Trantor would lie in ruins. Chaos would overtake humanity. But the Seldon Plan was a long term strategy to minimize the worst of what was to come. Two Foundations were set up at opposite ends of the galaxy. Of the Second nothing can be told. It guards the secrets of psychohisotry. FOUNDATION is the story of the First Foundation, on the remote planet of Terminus, from which those secrets were withheld.

It is the driest, flattest, hottest, most desiccated, infertile and climatically aggressive of all the inhabited continents and still Australia teems with life a large portion of it quite deadly. In fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in a very nasty way than anywhere else.Ignoring such dangers and yet curiously obsessed by them Bill Bryson journeyed to Australia and promptly fell in love with the country.

Life doesnt get much better than this

Barcellona, fine anni '50. Daniel Sempere non è più il ragazzino che abbiamo conosciuto tra i cunicoli del Cimitero dei Libri Dimenticati, alla scoperta del volume che gli avrebbe cambiato la vita. Il mistero della morte di sua madre Isabella ha aperto una voragine nella sua anima, un abisso dal quale la moglie Bea e il fedele amico Fermín stanno cercando di salvarlo. Proprio quando Daniel crede di essere arrivato a un passo dalla soluzione dell'enigma, un complotto ancora più oscuro e misterioso di quello che avrebbe potuto immaginare si estende fino a lui dalle viscere del Regime. E in quel momento che fa la sua comparsa Alicia Gris, un'anima emersa dalle ombre della guerra, per condurre Daniel al cuore delle tenebre e aiutarlo a svelare la storia segreta della sua famiglia, anche se il prezzo da pagare sara altissimo. Dodici anni dopo "L'ombra del vento", Carlos Ruiz Zafón torna con un'opera monumentale per portare a compimento la serie del Cimitero dei Libri Dimenticati. "Il labirinto degli Spiriti" è un romanzo fatto di passioni, intrighi e avventure. Attraverso queste pagine ci troveremo di nuovo a camminare per stradine lugubri avvolte nel mistero, tra la Barcellona reale e il suo rovescio, un riflesso maledetto della citta. E arriveremo finalmente a scoprire il gran finale della saga, che qui raggiunge l'apice della sua intensita e al tempo stesso celebra, maestosamente, il mondo dei libri, l'arte di, raccontare storie e il legame magico che si stabilisce tra la letteratura e la vita.
