Foc i Sang: 300 anys abans de Joc de Trons. Història dels Targaryen (Cançó de gel i foc #Volumen)
by George R.R. Martin Doug WheatleyEl nou llibre de George R.R. Martin narra la fascinant història dels Targaryen, la dinastia que va regnar a Ponent tres-cents anys abans de l'inici de «Cançó de gel i foc», la saga que va inspirar la sèrie de HBO, Joc de trons. Segles abans que tinguessin lloc els esdeveniments que s'expliquen a «Cançó de gel i foc», la casa Targaryen, l'única dinastia de Senyors Drac que va sobreviure a la Maledicció de Valyria, es va assentar a l'illa de Rocadrac. Us presentem el primer volum d'un total de dos en què l'autor de Joc de trons explica amb gran detall la història d'aquesta família tan fascinant: començant per Aegon I Targaryen, creador de l'icònic Tron de Ferro, i seguint per la resta de les generacions de Targaryens que van lluitar ferotgement per conservar el poder, i el tron, fins a l'arribada de la guerra civil que gairebé els va fer desaparèixer. Què va passar realment durant la Dansa de dracs? Per què era tan perillós apropar-se a Valyria després de la Maledicció? Com era Ponent quan els dracs dominaven el cel? Aquestes i moltes altres són les preguntes a les quals respon aquesta monumental crònica, narrada per un culte mestre de la Ciutadella, que anticipa el conegut univers de George R.R. Martin. Foc i Sang és la gran oportunitat que tenen els lectors de conèixer una altra visió de la fascinant història de Ponent. Aquesta obra, magníficament il·lustrada amb 80 làmines inèdites de Doug Wheatley, esdevindrà, sens dubte, una lectura ineludible per a tots els fans de l'aclamada sèrie.
Gendering Science Fiction Films
by Susan A. GeorgeIn the 1950s, science fiction (SF) invasion films played a complicated part in both supporting and criticizing Cold War ideologies. George examines what these films reveal about the tensions in the United States at the dawn of the atomic age especially concerning gender roles and expectations. Using a cultural studies approach, she works from the assumption that "invasion" films with their "us" versus "them" nature provide important visual and verbal narratives for American citizens' trying to understand and negotiate the social and political changes that followed the allied victory in World War II. By reading these invasion narratives as performances of middle-class, primarily white Americans' excitement and anxieties about social and political issues, George shows how they often played out as another round in the battle of the sexes. This book examines the way representation in these films tap into anxieties concerning the feminine and alien other.
Wagner, the Wehr-Wolf (Dover Horror Classics)
by George W.M. Reynolds Henry AnelayFernand Wagner's deal with the devil buys wealth and youth-at the price of monthly transformations into a ravening beast. The first important fictional treatment of the werewolf theme in English literature, this Victorian thriller traces Wagner's blood-soaked trail through sixteenth-century Italy. Packed with horrors and thrills, it offers a gothic feast of murders and supernatural events, punctuated by hidden plots and secret passages, Turkish invasions and intrigues, and other diabolical doings. Although largely forgotten today, author George W. Reynolds ranked among mid-Victorian England's most celebrated authors and was a prominent political figure and pioneer for social justice. This edition of Wagner, the Wehr-Wolf includes the first extensive modern survey of Reynolds' work as well as twenty-four atmospheric illustrations.
The Imago Stage
by Karoline GeorgesGrowing up with a menacing drunk for a father and a grief-stricken mother, a girl spends her 1980s childhood staring at the television to escape the tension, depression, and looming violence that fill her suburban home. After winning a modelling competition, she dedicates herself to becoming a placid image onto which anything can be projected, a blank slate with a blank stare. Earning enough in Paris to retire in her twenties, she buys a studio in Montreal and retreats from the world and its perceived threats, cultivating her existence as an image through her virtual reality avatar. But when her mother develops cancer and nears the end of her life, she is forced to leave her cocoon – surrounded by her posse of augmented reality superheroes – and interact with the world and her parents without the mask of her perfect, virtual self.Georges offers up an alienated childhood with shifting pop culture obsessions, a woman’s awakening to the role of the image in culture, and her eventual isolation in her apartment and the world online. It is a catalogue of the anxieties of an age, from nuclear war to terrorism, climate change to biological warfare. Set in the past and not-too-distant future of Montreal, The Imago Stage is an ominous tale of oppression, suppression, and disembodiment.
