Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people. Gaiman stays true to the myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the son of giants, a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerges the gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to dupe others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.

This collection of stories from all Shakespeare’s plays, with beautiful illustrations and quotations, is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare. Each story includes short details about the main characters, and famous and memorable quotations from the play. This is a fabulous book that will be referred to again and again, by both children and adults.

Mathias, un jeune homme d’une trentaine d’années, vient de perdre sa mère. Sur le parking de l’hôpital, il rencontre un géant qui l’aide à accepter de vivre malgré cette disparition et l’invite à un voyage fantastique dans le pays des morts. Cette évasion dans l’imaginaire lui permettra de passer d’un monde enfantin peuplé de super héros rassurants au monde plus cru et cruel des adultes. Dans la lignée d’un Tim Burton ou d’un Lewis Carroll, Mathias Malzieu signe ici un texte unique, à la fois conte d’initiation survolté et roman intimiste bouleversant. Un texte d’une force, d’une drôlerie et d’une poésie universelles, écrit parfois comme on peut crier sa douleur, ou l’envelopper dans le coton de ses rêves.

Mariko has always known that being a woman means she’s not in control of her own fate. But Mariko is the daughter of a prominent samurai and a cunning alchemist in her own right, and she refuses to be ignored. When she is ambushed by a group of bandits known as the Black Clan enroute to a political marriage to Minamoto Raiden – the emperor’s son – Mariko realises she has two choices: she can wait to be rescued… or she can take matters into her own hands, hunt down the clan and find the person who wants her dead.
Disguising herself as a peasant boy, Mariko infiltrates the Black Clan’s hideout and befriends their leader, the rebel ronin Ranmaru, and his second-in-command, Okami. Ranmaru and Okami warm to Mariko, impressed by her intellect and ingenuity. But as Mariko gets closer to the Black Clan, she uncovers a dark history of secrets that will force her to question everything she’s ever known.

Cath is determined to choose her own destiny. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.

Io mi innamoro perdutamente delle copertine inglesi, non ci posso fare niente… Quella di "Flame in the mist" è stupendissima!
Anche io comunque non vado molto d'accordo con le letture in lingua, lo devo ammettere! 😉

Ciao ragazze! Anch'io ho rischiato di saltare l'appuntamento di oggi, ma il primo libro della mia lista lo voglio troppo in italiano, e se c'è qualcuno che legge, magari la mia richiesta sarà presa in considerazione, ha ha ha! XD "Flame in the mist" attira anche me, e sono incuriosita anche riguardo alla storia della regina di cuori, nonostante anch'io debba ancora recuperare tutte le Cronache Lunari!

Ciao! Flame in the Mist è da parecchio che lo tengo d'occhio e ogni volta che faccio un ordine su amazon sono tentata di metterlo nel carrello … se non arriverà presto in Italia credo proprio che cederò e lo comprerò in lingua! 😉
