Les aventures de Tom Sawyer (Les\grands Classiques Illustres Ser. #No. 449)
by Mark TwainExtracte: . . . d'una gran alzina que hi havia a la vora del riu. La batalla era aleshores en tot son esclat. Sota la incessant conflagracio de llampecs que flamejaven pel cel, totes les coses que li eren a sota es destacaven amb exactitud precisa i neta d'ombres: els arbres cots, el riu inflat i amb un esblanqueiment d'escumes; els ruixims de l'aigua esquitxadora; les opaques siluetes dels espadats altivols de l'altra vora, llambregats en mig de les vapors que flotaven a la deriva i el vel travesser de la pluja. Sovint sovint, algun arbre geganti abandonava la lluita i queia amb un espetec entre la jove tanyada; i els terrabastalls incessants de la tronada es convertien ara en esclats que fendien l'orella, punyents, aguts, explosius i esglaiadors que empalmaven inexpressablement. La tempesta culminava en una brao incomparable, que semblava que havia de fer-ne miques, de l'illa, i abrandar-la tota, i ofegar-la fins al cim dels arbres, i endur-se-la en la ventada i ensordir tota cosa viva que hi tingues estatge, tot plegat i a l'ensems. Era una nit ferestega per romandre-hi una minyonia, lluny de l'aixopluc de la llar. Pero a la fi la batalla s'exhauri, i les forces es retiraren amb menors i menors amenaces i rondinaments i la pau recobra la seva autoritat. Els minyons tornaren al campament, forca esporuguits; pero hi trobaren encara quelcom de plaent, perque el gran sicomor, l'abric de sos jacos, era convertit a ruina, enderrocat pel llamp, i ells no hi havien estat davall quan la catastrofe s'esdevingue. Tot el campament regalava i allo que havia estat foc tambe; perque no eren sino minyons atarantats, com esqueia a llurs anys, i no havien pres mesures contra la pluja. Veu's aqui materia de descoratjament, perque la pluja els havia atravessat i tenien el fred als ossos. Foren eloquents en llur desastre; pero al cap de poc descobriren que el foc havia rosegat tan amunt de la soca contra la qual havia estat bastit (alla on ella s'encorbava. . . "

Let Fury Have the Hour: Joe Strummer, Punk, and the Movement that Shook the World
by Antonino D'AmbrosioJoe Strummer's untimely death at the age of fifty in December 2002 took from us one of the truly unique voices of modern music. The quintessential Rude Boy, punker, rebel musician, artist and activist, Strummer wrote some of the most important and influential music of the last century including "Guns of Brixton," "The Washington Bullets," "Spanish Bombs," "White Man in Hammersmith Palace," "London's Burning," "Lost in the Supermarket," and "Garageland. " Effectively melding raw creativity with radical politics, Strummer transformed punk rock from its early associations with reactionary, right wing and nihilistic politics into a social movement. From Rock Against Racism to the Anti-Nazi League Festival to supporting the H-Block protests, Strummer and The Clash led the charge for human rights. Let Fury Have the Hour collects articles, interviews, essays and reviews that chronicle Strummer's life both as a musician and a political activist. Included in this collection are essays and interviews by Antonino D'Ambrosio, alongside contributions from Peter Silverton, Barry Miles, Anya Philips, Sylvia Simmons, Vic Garbarini, Caroline Coons, Todd Martens, Joel Schalit and others. This book also includes original lyrics, photography, art, posters, and flyers, and offers the first serious examination of the life of this extraordinary man.
