Sinossi

In "The Loves of Pelleas and Etarre," Zona Gale reinterprets the classic Arthurian legend with a focus on the emotional and psychological complexities of love and desire. Through her lyrical prose, Gale weaves a narrative that explores themes of longing, sacrifice, and the ephemeral nature of affection, set against a richly imagined medieval landscape. The book's style is imbued with vivid imagery and a poignant examination of the human condition, positioning it within the early 20th-century movement that challenged traditional narratives and sought deeper explorations of character and emotion. Zona Gale, an acclaimed author and a prominent figure in the early feminist literary movement, undoubtedly drew from her own experiences and societal observations when crafting this tale. Born in Wisconsin in 1874, she was exposed to the literary movement of her time, which encouraged women to voice their own stories. Gale's writing often reflects her deep understanding of human emotions and relationships, making her a notable figure in literature for her attempts to bridge the gap between romantic idealism and tangible reality. Readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of love that eschews conventional tropes will find "The Loves of Pelleas and Etarre" to be a captivating addition to their literary journey. Gale'Äôs nuanced understanding of her characters renders this work both timeless and relevant, making it a must-read for those interested in the intersections of love, identity, and the intricacies of human connection.

    My name is Carter Riley. I am a veteran peacekeeper; once a one-armed, homeless, jobless father, now the first human ever to come into contact with the Precursors' Cube on Mars, and proud owner of the most combative hamster in the galaxy. 
     
     
     
    The artifact is what brought me to Sidus, a mysterious space station at the center of the galaxy. A dozen or so alien civilizations have also found their way here, seemingly to unite against a common enemy. Or common enemies. Honestly, we don't know what it is that we need to face, for all the species on Sidus combined have barely explored a fraction of the galaxy. We can only guess at what other secrets are held by that dark, obscure expanse. 
     
     
     
    It does hold something, that's for sure. Something sinister. And it's up to me to find out what. 
     
     
     
    After all, I am the first, the protector of my kind. 
     
     
     
    Before doing that, though, I need to tie my laces and swap out this crappy blaster for something a little more high-tech.
