This lavish visual history-featuring over 150 new, full-colour illustrations-is a stunning introduction to House Targaryen, the iconic family at the heart of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series, House of the Dragon.For hundreds of years, the Targaryens sat the Iron Throne of Westeros while their dragons ruled the skies. The story of the only family of dragonlords to survive Valyria's Doom is a tale of twisty politics, alliances and betrayals, and acts both noble and craven. The Rise of the Dragon chronicles the creation and rise of Targaryen power in Westeros, covering the history first told in George R. R. Martin's epic Fire & Blood, from Aegon Targaryen's conquest of Westeros through to the infamous Dance of the Dragons-the bloody civil war that nearly undid Targaryen rule for good.Packed with all-new artwork, the Targaryens-and their dragons-come vividly to life in this deluxe reference book. Perfect for fans steeped in the lore of Westeros, as well as those who first meet the Targaryens in the HBO series House of the Dragon, The Rise of the Dragon provides a must-have overview for anyone looking to learn more about the most powerful family in Westeros.

The ultimate hustle is to move freely between the street and corporate worlds, to find your flow and never stay locked in the same position. This is a manifesto for how to operate in the twenty-first century, where everything has been turned on its head. Building on the runaway success of Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power (almost five million copies sold), the 'modern Machiavelli' teams up with rapper 50 Cent to show how the power game of success can be played to your advantage.Drawing on the lore of gangsters, hustlers, and hip-hop artists, as well as 50 Cent's business and artistic dealings, the authors present the 'Laws of 50', revealing how to become a master strategist and supreme realist. Success comes from seeking an advantage in each and every encounter, and The 50th Law offers indispensable advice on how to win in business - and in life.

Cuba, meta del XIX secolo. Una grande nave raggiunge la spiaggia di Jibacoa. La stiva non contiene merci, ma qualcosa di ben piu prezioso, e al tempo stesso assai piu a buon mercato: persone. Donne. Schiave. Prelevate dai loro villaggi in Africa con l'inganno, sono uno dei beni piu ricercati a Cuba. Nella schiera di ragazze sporche e denutrite c'e anche l'undicenne Kaweka, che finisce tra gli schiavi del potente marchese di Santadoma. Indomita e fiera, Kaweka sente dentro di se il peso di un'ingiustizia che desidera ardentemente riparare. Col passare degli anni, la causa della liberazione del suo popolo diventa persino piu importante dell'amore per Modesto, che ha conosciuto nella piantagione. Perche l'unica schiavitu a cui Kaweka e disposta a sottomettersi e la lotta per la liberta. E spinta dalla sua vocazione decide di fuggire, mentre all'orizzonte si addensa lo spettro della guerra di indipendenza di Cuba e delle prime rivolte degli schiavi... Madrid, oggi Lita ha una promettente carriera nella prestigiosa banca dei marchesi di Santadoma, i quali stanno cercando di mettere a punto una lucrosa vendita del proprio istituto a un gruppo finanziario americano. Ma Lita non e solo una giovane donna in carriera nel difficile mondo della finanza: e la figlia di una domestica di casa Santadoma, e nella lotta per farsi valere porta su di se anche il peso del riscatto dalle umili origini e del colore della propria pelle. Un'inattesa visita a Cuba la avvicina non solo alle sue radici, ma anche a una sconvolgente rivelazione sulla storia della propria famiglia. Una rivelazione che la riconnette a un mondo potente e ancestrale, mentre affiorano verita sempre piu inquietanti sull'origine dell'immensa fortuna dei marchesi... Un romanzo che attraverso i secoli e le generazioni racconta la straordinaria epopea di due donne coraggiose, legate dal sangue e da un ideale, alla ricerca di giustizia e liberta e disposte a combattere fino alla fine pur di ottenerle.

Si je réécrivais un peu l'histoire, je tairais les policiers devenus des vautours, la jeunesse égarée, le gouvernement appelant les terroristes au cessez-le-feu, les enfants qui ne jouent plus parce que les reves les ont quittes trop vite.Je passerais sous silence mon grand-pere a la tete vide, l'herbe dessechee par le soleil, les fourmis rouges devoreuses de peau, les douches prises a minuit lorsqu'un peu d'eau coulait enfin du robinet.Je feindrais le bonheur de vivre desormais dans une ville etrangere, loin des amis d'enfance et de la lumiere enveloppante d'Alger. J'oublierais les coups de fil incessants de ma mere qui se desespere de me savoir celibataire a trente ans.Resterait la perspective de revenir en Algerie avec l'image detestable des gens qui quittent leur pays sans remords pour vivre la-bas.Nee en 1986 a Alger, Kaouther Adimi vit et travaille a Paris. Son premier roman, L'Envers des autres (Actes Sud, 2011) est d'abord paru en Algerie aux editions Barzakh et a obtenu le prix de la Vocation.

Os coidados, a fidelidade, a homosexualidade, a covardía, a vinganza, a suplantación de identidade, o amor polos libros, o contrabando ou a orfandade son algúns dos temas que compoñen este libro estremecedor onde o pano de fondo sempre e a guerra.Como xa fixera en As Rulas de Bakunin, Laura no deserto e O parai-so dos inocentes, Anton Riveiro Coello pon de novo os seus personaxes en situacions limite para que nos ofrezan o mellor e o peor de si. Relatos duros que nos enfrontan co espello para sabermos o lugar que poderiamos ocupar en conflitos tan diversos como os que acollen estes relatos. E tanto ten que a guerra se desenvolva en Ucraina, Siria, Rusia, Vietnam ou na raia seca ourensa. O importante nestas historias e o resultado conmovedor dunha escrita poderosa que, unha vez mais, ispe os personaxes para os deixar nunha intemperie que tamen poderia ser a nosa.
