Wir schreiben das Jahr 1645. Im Heiligen Römischen Reich tobt seit 28 Jahren ein mörderischer Krieg und er scheint kein Ende zu nehmen.
Nach dem Tod seines Meisters Martin steht Gustav vor dem Nichts. Einzig Anike tröstet ihn über den schweren Verlust hinweg. Als sie ihn bittet, ihrem besessenen Vater zu helfen, erkennt Gustav, dass der Schlüssel dazu - Martins Codex Daemonum - für ihn keinen Sinn ergibt. Er muss erst seine Lehre abschließen, um mit dem geheimnisvollen Buch zurechtzukommen. Torstensson besorgt ihm einen neuen Meister, aber der trachtet Gustav nach dem Leben. Ein waghalsiges Spiel beginnt, bei dem es für Gustav um alles geht.
'Passt auf euch auf! Die schöne Mela kann nicht immer rechtzeitig zur Stelle sein, um euch zu retten. Der eigentliche Krieg beginnt erst.'
It’s a rare book that can make the tried-and-true genre of the coming-of-age novel seem novel. There are the standard markers of the hero’s journey—the trials, the dark night of the soul, the lesson learned. From Printz Honor author Eric Gansworth comes My Good Man, a literary tour-de-force sure to turn the genre on its head.
Brian, a 20-something reporter on the Niagara Cascade City Desk, is navigating life as the only Indigenous writer in the newsroom, being lumped into reporting on stereotypical stories that homogenize his community—the nearby Tuscarora reservation. But when a mysterious roadside assault lands Tim, the brother of
Brian’s mother’s late boyfriend, in the hospital, Brian must pick up the threads of a life that he’s abandoned.
The resulting narrative takes us through Brian’s childhood and slice-of-life stories on the reservation, in Gansworth’s signature blend of crystal sharp, heartfelt literary realist prose.
But perhaps more importantly, it takes us through Brian’s attempt to balance his feet between Haudenosaunee and American life, between the version of his story that would prize the individual over all else, and the version of himself that depends on the entire community’s survival.
El escudo de Heracles es un fragmento de épica griega. El tema del episodio es la expedición de Heracles y Yolao contra el hijo de Ares llamado Cicno, quien había desafiado a Heracles a un combate cuando este pasaba cerca de Itono (Tesalia).
Fourteen-year-old Peter Green can’t remember how he died.
All he has are his pajamas, a silk tie, and a one-way bus ticket to Mrs. Battisworth’s Academy and Haven for Unliving Boys and Girls, a strange and spooky school for dead orphans like himself. But that’s all he needs. The Unliving Academy has everything, from vampires in the hallways to monsters in the cafeteria to ghosts in the basement. And that’s just the teachers; the students are far stranger.
As Pete learns to fit in with his new supernatural schoolmates, he starts to discover his own uniquely undead abilities, and even begins enjoying his life after death...but he just can’t shake the feeling that he’s forgotten something (or somebody!) important. Somebody he left behind in the land of the living. Somebody he loved very much.
Somebody who’s in terrible danger.
