  Μπορείς να πεθάνεις καρφωμένος από ένα καλαμάκι, να σκοτωθείς από έναν γυμνοσάλιαγκα, να συντριβείς από μια αγελάδα που έπεσε από τον ουρανό, να δηλητηριαστείς από ένα καρότο ή να πνιγείς από ένα γέλιο; ΟΧΙ; Λοιπόν, ναι, είναι δυνατόν... Δυστυχώς. Θα ανακαλύψετε τους 100 πιο παράλογους και τραγικούς, ενίοτε αστείους, τρόπους θανάτου, που θα σας κάνουν να κρυώσετε και να χαμογελάσετε ταυτόχρονα. Κάθε ένα από αυτά είναι μια υπενθύμιση της αβάσταχτης ευθραυστότητας της ύπαρξης και της ανάγκης να αποφεύγεται η επικίνδυνη συμπεριφορά.

  A world where every human right has been violated and every notion of freedom and individuality is abolished. A world where Big Brother monitors everything through advanced technology devices. A world where the war against an invisible enemy never ends, thoughts go underground and any deviation from the dictates of the regime is punished relentlessly until it is "corrected". A world where those in power have the power to alter the past and deny the self-existence of reality, a world where language and its words change to keep up with the newA verified dystopian vision in the form of a novel, 1984, one of those few works that have accurately defined their century, continues to warn us more than seventy years after its publication that totalitarianism, with all its mass of illusions, knows no measure or limit, nor does it belong definitively to the past.The book was published just seven months before the author's death from tuberculosis in January 1950. Apart from the futuristic environment described (and which was twice adapted for the cinema, in 1956 and 1984, without great success on both occasions, despite Sir Richard Burton's participation in the latter), apart from its apt predictions about mass surveillance, the nature of authoritarian regimes and the levelling out of any notion of difference, what is even more striking are the neologisms that remain handy to this day: Terms such as "Big Brother", "Thought Police", "SexCrime" and the famous "Cold War" - which he himself coined a few years ago - are not only used daily, but are so apt that one wonders how a human mind could have conceived them a full seven decades ago.

  At the Mountains of Madness

  One of the best-known stories - and for some the best - of H. F. Lovecraft confronts the reader with both the then unexplored Antarctic and the origins of many elements of the Cthulhu Mythology.
  Professor Dyer, a prominent geologist, learns that a scientific expedition will soon depart for Antarctica following in the footsteps of the journey he himself had made a few years earlier. In the hope of thwarting the expedition, Dyer decides to give a full account of the tragic events he had survived, this time omitting the passages he had kept silent about on his return for fear of being thought insane.
  An ancient, alien civilization and its signs, well hidden behind the mountain range of the Mountains of Madness, emerge from the professor's narrative and the pages of the 6th book in the Answers of X series. F. Lovecraft, published by Acid Publications.
  The novel In the Mountains of Madness was written in 1931, and in 2006 Guillermo del Toro wrote the screenplay for its film adaptation. And it may still remain a dream for him, but the latest reports say that there is a serious possibility that he will make it happen in collaboration with the Netflix platform.

  The Apology is Plato's version of the speech delivered by Socrates before the Athenian people in his defence agaist charges of impiety and of misleading others, which ended in his condemnation and death in 399 BC. It is the earliest and most eloquent expression of what has been termed 'philosophical faith', as that love and search for truth which gives meaning to life and trust in the face of death.
