Sinopse

In "Star Born," Andre Norton weaves a captivating tale that fuses science fiction with themes of courage, identity, and the intricate bonds of companionship. Set against a richly imagined galactic backdrop, this novel follows the journey of Dagar, a young man with psychic abilities, as he navigates interstellar peril and personal growth. Norton's prose is marked by a unique blend of suspense and philosophical reflection, employing a narrative style that is both accessible and evocative, appealing to readers who appreciate nuanced character development and imaginative world-building within the literary context of mid-20th-century speculative fiction. Andre Norton, an eminent figure in science fiction and fantasy literature, has influenced the genre since the 1930s. Her experiences as a librarian and her deep fascination with mythology and ancient cultures undoubtedly shaped her storytelling approach, promoting powerful themes of diversity and introspection. "Star Born" emerged during a pivotal era in science fiction when authors began to explore more complex characterizations and social issues, allowing Norton to build on her legacy of pioneering force within the field. I wholeheartedly recommend "Star Born" to any reader eager to explore a richly textured narrative that speaks to the heart of what it means to be human, even in the vastness of space. This novel not only entertains but also invites reflection on the nature of belonging and destiny, making it a significant contribution to the science fiction canon.

    Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942), published as L. M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The title character, orphan Anne Shirley, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.
    Matthew Insists on Puffed Sleeves: Matthew was having a bad ten minutes of it. He had come into the kitchen, in the twilight of a cold, grey December evening, and had sat down in the wood-box corner to take off his heavy boots, unconscious of the fact that Anne and a bevy of her schoolmates were having a practice of "The Fairy Queen" in the sitting-room.

    While riding his bicycle in the Miskatonic Valley of rural New England, a genealogist seeks shelter from an approaching storm. He enters an apparently abandoned house, only to find it occupied by a "loathsome old, white-bearded, and ragged man", speaking in "an extreme form of Yankee dialect... thought long extinct." The narrator notices that the house is full of antique books, exotic artifacts, and furniture predating the American Revolution. At first, the old man appears harmless and ignorant towards his guest. However, he shows a disquieting fascination for an engraving in a rare old book, Regnum Congo, and admits to the narrator how it made him hunger for "victuals I couldn't raise nor buy"- presumably human flesh. It's suggested that the old man was murdering travelers who stumbled upon the house to satisfy his "craving", and has extended his own life preternaturally through cannibalism.[4] Soon, a now frightened narrator realizes the old man has been alive for over a century. Still, the old man denies he ever acted upon such a desire. Suddenly, a drop of blood falls from the ceiling, clearly coming from the floor above, and splashes a page in the book. The narrator then looks up to see a spreading red stain on the ceiling; this belies the old man's statement. At that moment, a bolt of lightning destroys the house. Fortunately, the narrator survives to tell of his ordeal.
