Sinopse

In "Arne; Early Tales and Sketches," Bj√∏rnstjerne Bj√∏rnson presents a compelling collection of narratives that explore the complexities of rural Norwegian life through the lens of individual characters grappling with their surroundings and internal struggles. This work is notable for its vivid imagery and lyrical prose, hallmarks of Bj√∏rnson's early literary style, which merges realism with romanticism to depict the serene yet turbulent existence of Norway'Äôs peasantry. The collection not only showcases his talent for character development but also reflects the socio-cultural context of 19th-century Norway, where issues of identity, community, and nature were at the forefront of literary discourse. Bj√∏rnstjerne Bj√∏rnson, a prominent figure in the Norwegian literary scene and a Nobel laureate in literature, was deeply influenced by his upbringing in a rural setting. His childhood experiences and love for the Norwegian landscape provided fertile ground for his storytelling. Bj√∏rnson's commitment to social issues, including his advocacy for national identity and cultural integrity, is intricately woven into these early tales, offering readers insights into his evolving literary purpose and societal concerns. This collection is highly recommended for readers interested in Norwegian literature, as it not only captures the essence of 19th-century rural life but also provides a window into the formative years of one of Norway's literary giants. Bj√∏rnson's evocative storytelling invites readers to explore the interplay between human emotions and the natural world, making it a significant contribution to both regional and universal literary traditions.

    Pierre Gulet, an eccentric and uniquely intuitive French archaeologist, is living in 25th century Egypt but is fixated on the past. After centuries, Egypt is still Egypt-the pyramids, the donkey carts, the unfinished high rises, the rancid stench of garbage, the systemic corruption. Pierre was excavating the find of a lifetime, a pre-dynastic temple beneath an Old Kingdom fortress, until he was called into the office of the Director of Antiquities who takes away his life's work, blacklists him, and drives him into exile onto a distant world, a small colony struggling for survival on the edge of outer space. 
    Pierre must now solve a mystery that has baffled traditional scientists for decades, an agricultural blight that has decimated the food supply of a colony on Gliese 832 c. Driven by a desire to make a discovery no one can take away from him, he must use his unique skills to save the future of a planet that is on the precipice of disaster. But as he seeks to uncover the truth, he is opposed by intransigent colonists, jealous predecessors, and an ancient power lurking deep in the earth. The more he discovers, the more he is vilified, and the more determined he becomes to discover what is at the heart of the blight. Should he fail, everyone in the colony dies.  
    RELIQUARY OF THE DEAD is the first book in the WAR OF THE GODS series, inspired by Sherlock Holmes, Indiana Jones, and the cosmic mythos of the ancient Near East.
