A friendship is a filiation we choose. It holds love and laughter; it can extend our sense of the possible. Moved to honour a form of relation often subordinated to romantic and familial ties, and to explore a part of her own history, Helene Giannecchini pieces together an alternative genealogy of queer ancestors. In searching and sensitive prose, she sifts the past to bring existences deemed marginal into communion with each other, traces of which may remain only in memory and archival fragments. Roving from Casa Susanna, a space of freedom from persecution in McCarthyite North America, to the diary of a man living with HIV in France, and to the life and work of pioneering lesbian photographer Donna Gottschalk, each narrative counters oblivion through loving acts of witness. A slantwise gathering of queer life and activism in the twentieth century, interspersed with images encountered by chance, An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail establishes friendship as a vital political force and offers a moving testament to its liberatory power.

What does it mean to lose yourself and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Bartons formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.

Even in this predominantly secular age, Britains cathedrals remain potent symbols of religious continuity. Their purpose was to reveal Gods majesty, to declare the supremacy of the Church and the devotion of the men who built them. They were intended, literally, to be awesome. Similarly, our medieval abbeys, most of them sad remnants of a glorious past, serve to remind us of the dedication of those who aspired to the monastic ideal. No two cathedrals or abbeys are alike in their conception, location, construction or history, and it is this that gives them their limitless appeal.Informative, knowledgeable and wide-ranging, Stephen Friars study contains over 1,450 entries and explores the features of these places, as well as associated subjects, such as architecture, monuments and church music. Entries on the Anglo-Saxon Church, monasticism, the Reformation, the restoration of the Roman Catholic dioceses and more assist in revealing a wider historical context.Richly illustrated in both colour and black and white, The Companion to Cathedrals and Abbeys is essential reading to new and more seasoned researchers alike.

La fantascienza che caratterizza lopera cyberpunk di William Gibson e in realta il telescopio attraverso cui leggere chi comanda e chi subisce nel futuro prossimo, diventato ormai presente storico. Un ordinamento contemporaneamente secolare e tribale, che non governa piu la fine del mondo, ma la sua piu piena effettivita come sistema irrimediabilmente precario. Tra emergenza, dominio e transizione.

Il capitale si e fatto linguaggio (da qui nasce il termine semiocapitale) con cui ci scambiamo comunicazioni funzionali al ciclo di produzione e consumo; non e un caso se siamo sommersi non solo dalle merci ma anche dalle informazioni. Lo spazio digitale dove i contenuti saturano la nostra attenzione, comprimendo la nostra facolta di elaborazione critica ben si presta a veicolare il linguaggio del capitale. La combinazione di semiocapitale e spazio digitale ha permesso al capitalismo di colonizzare il nostro immaginario e ha prodotto una frattura tra estetica ed etica tale per cui noi possiamo percepire lAltro ma non anche agire insieme allAltro; in definitiva, ha reso sempre piu urgente il bisogno di rifondare una dimensione comunitaria nelle nostre esistenze.

I flagellatori delloceano e un grande classico dellavventura marinaresca firmato da Luigi Motta, maestro del romanzo dazione. Nelle giungle misteriose di Ceylon e tra le rotte insidiose dellOceano Indiano si nasconde una minaccia senza precedenti: i Flagellatori dellOceano, una potente confraternita di pirati guidata dallenigmatico e spietato DArris. Quando il capitano Billy-Bones e il suo fidato ufficiale Twain si imbattono nei primi segni della loro presenza, scoprono subito che non si tratta di semplici predoni. Navi corazzate, armi elettriche e tecnologie sconosciute trasformano questi uomini in una forza devastante, capace di dominare i mari e seminare il terrore.Luigi Motta (18811955) e stato uno dei piu prolifici autori italiani di romanzi davventura della prima meta del Novecento. Nato a Bussolengo, in provincia di Verona, si impose giovanissimo nel panorama editoriale grazie al successo del suo primo romanzo, I flagellatori delloceano, premiato nel 1900 e introdotto da Emilio Salgari, di cui fu tra i piu noti continuatori. Seguendo la scia del maestro, Motta costrui una lunga carriera letteraria, pubblicando oltre cento opere tra romanzi davventura, racconti fantastici e testi di ispirazione scientifica. Il suo intento era quello di rinnovare il genere, conferendogli un taglio piu moderno e scientifico, a meta strada tra la narrativa dazione e la speculazione immaginifica, avvicinandosi per certi aspetti a modelli come Verne e Poe.

For much of its history, Orkney had its own language, culture and institutions. The prehistoric inhabitants created monuments which are unmatched anywhere in Europe, and the medieval period saw the magnificent earldom that expressed itself through the Orkneyinga Saga and the building of St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall. Like Shetland, Orkney was heavily influenced by Viking traders and raiders from Scandinavia, and for a long period it formed an outlying part of the kingdom of Norway. Over 500 years ago, however, the islands lost their Scandinavian links and since then have had a sometimes difficult association with mainland Scotland. More recent times have seen the use of Orkney as a strategic stronghold during two world wars, and the far-reaching impact of oil and gas exploitation in the North Sea. This classic book covers the whole fascinating story and will be of interest to readers far beyond the rocky shores of Orkney itself.
