Sinopse

In "Witch of the Demon Seas," Poul Anderson masterfully intertwines elements of science fiction and fantasy to craft a narrative rich in adventure and moral complexity. Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous sea filled with supernatural occurrences, the story follows the daring exploits of a young sailor caught in a web of sorcery and danger. Anderson employs a lyrical prose style that evokes the atmosphere of maritime mythology while exploring themes of courage, loyalty, and the conflict between man and the unknown, drawing readers into a world where the line between reality and fantasy blurs seamlessly. Poul Anderson, a prominent figure in science fiction literature, was known for his deep interest in mythology and historical narrative, which permeates this work. His rich background in physics and an extensive knowledge of Norse mythology and seafaring lore undoubtedly influenced his depiction of a world fraught with moral ambiguity and treacherous waters. This fusion of scientific inquiry with fantastical elements reflects Anderson's belief in the power of storytelling to illuminate human experience against a grand cosmic backdrop. Readers searching for an exhilarating voyage through the realms of dark magic and high seas will find "Witch of the Demon Seas" both compelling and thought-provoking. Anderson'Äôs deft storytelling provides an engaging exploration of human resilience amidst the supernatural, making this novel a must-read for aficionados of both science fiction and folklore.

    Inside this gorgeous swan is an ugly duckling just waiting to get out. 
    Family. Can’t live with them, can’t let them be wrongly accused of murder. At least, that’s how it works for Ivy and the Galloway clan. Now her best friend, Jilly Blackwood, is in a similar bind. 
    Jilly hasn’t seen her grandmother since feathers flew in a family feud years ago. That suited Jilly just fine because her true family—the one she found in Clover Grove—is more than enough. 
    But when Gran calls from her retirement community asking for help, Jilly can’t say no. Someone has died under suspicious circumstances and neighbors are blaming either the vicious swan that just moved in ... or Jilly’s grandmother. Gran may be quirky, but Jilly knows she’s not capable of murder. 
    It’s time for Ivy, Keats and Percy to join Jilly on the road trip of a lifetime. Will the crime-solving team make it back to Runaway Farm alive? 
    Join hobby farmer Ivy Galloway and her brilliant sheepdog, Keats, as they wrangle rescue animals and ruthless killers in this lighthearted cozy mystery series for animal lovers. If you enjoy a little magic with your mysteries, Ellen Riggs is also the author of the Mystic Mutt Mystery series.

Jim is an orphan, traveling to Nebraska to live with his grandparents, while Ántonia is emigrating to Nebraska with her Bohemian parents and siblings. The novel follows the pair as they become fast friends and experience life (and great challenges) on the Western prairie.  Received with rapturous reviews when it first appeared in print, "My Ántonia" has gone on to become an American classic and a beloved literary treasure. It is presented here in its original, unabridged format.
