Sinossi

In "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood," Howard Pyle offers a vibrant retelling of the legendary English hero, capturing the essence of medieval folklore through enchanting storytelling and richly illustrated narrative. Pyle's prose is characterized by its playful wit and rhythmic quality, drawing readers into the whimsical yet perilous world of Sherwood Forest. The book weaves together various tales of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men, celebrating themes of heroism, camaraderie, and resistance against tyranny, all while reflecting the values and concerns of late 19th-century America—a time when the yearning for simplicity and adventure resonated deeply with the public. Howard Pyle, an influential figure in American art and literature, is often regarded as the father of American illustration. His passion for storytelling and a keen interest in medieval history inspired him to revive the Robin Hood legend, aiming to bridge the gap between young readers and their historical and literary heritage. Pyle's extensive travels and scholarly pursuits allowed him to create a rich tapestry of adventures that resonate with universal themes, making the tales both timeless and relatable. For readers of all ages, "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" is a compelling introduction to the charming world of folklore, beautifully enhanced by Pyle's illustrations. This edition invites a new generation to experience the excitement and values embodied in Robin Hood's enduring legacy, making it a must-read for anyone interested in classic literature, adventure tales, or the power of art to inspire.

    A classic fantasy novel. Part three in the series The legend of Amornia.  With a sense of déjà vu, Agnes packed her things. She was going to be staying with her grandmother in Hova again. She picked up her fully packed suitcase and as she started to go downstairs the thoughts began running through her head. It was as if something was missing, something she ought to remember. Something hideously black. But for the life of her she couldn’t remember what.In the top of the tower on the smaller of the islands that made up the Samloqs sat that night’s watch. He looked up at the starry sky through the opening that was the tower’s only window – and there, something was there. A giant black shadow swooped past and blocked out the light. The preacher shuddered. The next moment he almost fell out of the tower. The creature high above him had turned, revealing an enormous pair of wings and clouds of sooty black smoke billowing from its nostrils.Naz-Halham could not erase the Sibyl’s words from his mind. “The time is come when I, Moros, shall rise and break my bonds. I enjoin upon thee to ally thyself with the people from the sea, whose arrival in Amornia has been prophesied since before my sisters and brothers fettered my person with their treacherous chains.”The return of the silver dragon is the third volume in the Tales of Amornia series. The first two volumes, The secret of the stone bridge and The crimson sceptre, have earned both public and critical praise. “A classic portal fantasy that’s aflame with storytelling glee, mystique, thrills and loveable characters” is one of many positive reviews that have been written.

    Don't Look Now by Henry Kuttner - That man beside you may be a Martian. They own our world, but only a few wise and far-seeing men like Lyman know it! 
    The man in the brown suit was looking at himself in the mirror behind the bar. The reflection seemed to interest him even more deeply than the drink between his hands. He was paying only perfunctory attention to Lyman’s attempts at conversation. This had been going on for perhaps fifteen minutes before he finally lifted his glass and took a deep swallow. 
    “Don’t look now,” Lyman said. 
    The brown man slid his eyes sidewise toward Lyman; tilted his glass higher, and took another swig. Ice-cubes slipped down toward his mouth. He put the glass back on the red-brown wood and signaled for a refill. Finally he took a deep breath and looked at Lyman. 
    “Don’t look at what?” he asked. 
    “There was one sitting right beside you,” Lyman said, blinking rather glazed eyes. “He just went out. You mean you couldn’t see him?” 
    The brown man finished paying for his fresh drink before he answered. “See who?” he asked, with a fine mixture of boredom, distaste and reluctant interest. “Who went out?” 
    “What have I been telling you for the last ten minutes? Weren’t you listening?” 
    “Certainly I was listening. That is—certainly. You were talking about—bathtubs. Radios. Orson—” 
    “Not Orson. H. G. Herbert George. With Orson it was just a gag. H. G. knew—or suspected. I wonder if it was simply intuition with him? He couldn’t have had any proof—but he did stop writing science-fiction rather suddenly, didn’t he? I’ll bet he knew once, though.” 
    “Knew what?”
