Dawno, dawno temu z powierzchni ziemi znikn?li czarodzieje, pozostawiaj?c po sobie wiedz?, ukryt? w zagadkach. Morgon, ksi??? prostych kmieci z wyspy Hed, okaza? si? mistrzem w ich rozwi?zywaniu, kiedy to, rzucaj?c na szal? w?asne ?ycie, wyzwa? na pojedynek Pevena, zmar?ego lorda Aum, i wygra? od niego koron?. Ale oto przeciwko Morgonowi sprzysi?g?y si? staro?ytne si?y z?a. Zmiennokszta?tni zaj?li miejsce przyjaci?? i nikomu ju? nie mo?na by?o ufa?. Tak wi?c Morgon ucieka z wrogich mu kr?lestw i wyrusza w drog? do tajemniczej G?ry Erlenstar, w kt?rej rz?dy sprawuje Najwy?szy. Podczas wyprawy towarzyszy mu Deth — Harfista Najwy?szego. Przed nimi mro??ce krew w ?y?ach przygody i osobliwe spotkania. Nie odst?puje ich te? najwi?ksza z nierozwi?zanych zagadek — zagadka znamienia w postaci trzech gwiazdek na czole Morgona, w kt?rych, jak wszystko wskazuje, zapisane jest jego przeznaczenie.
Simboli?ni dodaci koji se koriste radi pro?irivanja svih vidova ljudske li?nosti su naravno brojni. Odje?a sa?injava najva?niju vrst tih simbola i ponekad je zabavno promatrati, neprimjetno po mogu?nosti, odjevne predmete nasumce sakupljene grupe ljudi.Zamislite da je svaki od tih predmeta izabran s primjernom brigom i isklju?ivom ?eljom da izazove neki to?no odre?en efekt.Usprkos simboli?noj snazi odje?e, mu?karce i ?ene se u principu ocjenjuje prema okolnostima koje je mnogo te?e kontrolirati: dr?anju, naglasku, boji glasa, obliku i boji njihova tijela, i ?...

"'Stephen Fry is one of the great originals… This autobiography of his first twenty years is a pleasure to read, mixing outrageous acts with sensible opinions in bewildering confusion… That so much outward charm, self-awareness and intellect should exist alongside behaviour that threatened to ruin the lives of innocent victims, noble parents and Fry himself, gives the book a tragic grandeur and lifts it to classic status.' Financial Times; 'A remarkable, perhaps even unique, exercise in autobiography… that aroma of authenticity that is the point of all great autobiographies; of which this, I rather think, is one' Evening Standard; 'He writes superbly about his family, about his homosexuality, about the agonies of childhood… some of his bursts of simile take the breath away… his most satisfying and appealing book so far' Observer"

A haunting novel, reverberating with anguish but also celebrating love ...

«Mon Agent» Андрея М. Мелехова — третий роман об Аналитике.Как и предыдущие книги серии — «Malaria» и «Analyste» — «Mon Agent» представляет из себя необычную комбинацию приключенческого романа и мистического триллера. Он предлагает читателю не только получить удовольствие от весьма неожиданных поворотов нескольких сюжетных линий, но и задуматься над широким кругом философских, религиозных и мировоззренческих проблем, волнующих современного человека.Действие романа происходит в Лондоне и Москве, в Раю и в Преисподней. Его персонажами являются террористы и агенты спецслужб, герои Библии и герои тайных операций, великие пророки прошлого и политики настоящего, ангелы Божьи и слуги Сатаны, люди и говорящие животные. В произведении нашлось место большой любви и большой ненависти, острой политической сатире и тонкому юмору. Как и все книги Мелехова, «Mon Agent» написан для тех, кто способен подвергнуть сомнению догмы, стереотипы и предубеждения, кто может рассмеяться, говоря даже о весьма серьёзных вещах.
A smoldering debut novel exploring the passion, hunger, and danger that can break loose in the moonlight. From the time she was a child, Mona Lisa knew she was different—but she never knew how different until a man of otherworldly beauty appeared during her night shift in the ER. Gryphon is hurting and hunted and he attracts her as no man ever has before. He is a Mon?re, one of the children of the moon—and what's more, so is she. Long exiled from the moon, the men of the Mon?re serve—and mate with—imperious Queens who can channel the rays of their far-off homeland. Gryphon believes that Mona Lisa is a Queen—perhaps the first of Mixed Blood ever known. But her introduction to the nighttime court of the Mon?re, simmering with intrigue, casual lust, and calculated cruelty, is far from smooth.
Mona Lisa has finally accepted what she really is — a Mixed-Blood of the Mon?re, the children of the moon. Stronger, faster, and more beautiful than any human, they are the origins of Earth's darkest legends — and Mona Lisa is their newest Queen.Accompanied by her loyal cadre of warriors and kin, Mona Lisa is entering her territory of Louisiana for the first time. She slowly learns the erotic and savage customs of the Mon?re elite — though some of her new subjects are uneasy at being ruled by a half-human. Her reign is threatened by enemies old and new, and she is ensnared in the thrall of dark forces she cannot deny. In a hidden world of animal passions and unrelenting lust, Mona Lisa soon grasps the tremendous power she must command if she is to hold her realm together — and if she is ever to come into her own.
Dante, the warrior son of a healer, was cursed by the high priestess to endure a never-ending cycle of life and death, born and reborn into an ever-diminishing bloodline. Someone shares one of his past lives. Her name was Mona Lyria. Back then, on the moon in another world, she was his victim. Today, she is Mona Lisa, and this time, she is his savior. Dante's wish is to die by her hands to end his cursed existence, but she feels fate has given them both a second chance. For even stronger than her craving for blood is her craving for what every Mon?re female desires, and needs…to bear life. Now she has found her mate — but with this blessing could come a new curse under the shadow of a new moon.
On the vernal equinox, Mona Lisa is taken against her will to NetherHell, the cursed realm of the damned. In this place, she will be torn from both within and without by desire, love, and ecstasy. And when her first love crosses the boundaries of the world to rescue her, she must choose her own destiny — before others choose it for her.
The national bestselling author returns with a new passionate, erotically charged paranormal novel. Roberto, a jaguar-shifter of mixed Mon?re heritage, arrives in Cozumel to kill a rival. But he finds a more valuable prize in Mona Lisa, a Mon?re who's lost her memory and can be manipulated into believing anything—no matter how dark or dangerous.

Anno 2381: nell’esistenza umana l’utopia ? diventata realt?. Guerre, fame, contrasti sociali, criminalit? e controllo delle nascite sono ormai un semplice ricordo del passato. L’esistenza si svolge tranquilla e ordinata all’interno di giganteschi grattacieli alti centinaia di piani.
