But as Carmilla becomes increasingly strange and volatile, prone to eerie nocturnal wanderings, Laura finds herself tormented by nightmares and growing weaker by the day… Pre-dating Dracula by twenty-six years, Carmilla is the original vampire story, steeped in sexual tension and gothic romance.]]> 108 J.

]]> 224993689 A story of technological triumphs, heartbreaking setbacks, and remarkable intellect.

Nikola Tesla is one of the most fascinating characters in the history of science. A brilliant inventor and eccentric visionary, his ideas were undoubtedly ahead of his time. His name today is synonymous with innovation. Yet he lived much of his life in poverty, feuded with fellow inventors and died in obscurity.

In this biography, Ian Fitzgerald brings to life the story of the intellectual giant, from his youth in rural Croatia through his emigration to the United States and his rivalry with Thomas Edison over his alternating current technology to his most ambitious project, the Wardenclyffe Tower, and the unhappy consequences of its demise.

ABOUT THE The Arcturus Pioneers series brings together entertaining biographies of leading figures within scientific world and beyond, tracing their lives, legacy and the pioneering ideas that made them world-famous.]]> 208 Ian Fitzgerald 1398857807 Beba 0 currently-reading 0.0

]]> 49095753 Wuthering Heights remains one of literature’s most disturbing explorations into the dark side of romantic passion, and has startled and fascinated readers since its first publication in 1847.

Heathcliff and Cathy believe they’re destined to love each other forever, but when cruelty and snobbery separate them, their untamed emotions literally consume them. Set amid the wild and stormy Yorkshire moors, Wuthering Heights, an unpolished and devastating epic of childhood playmates who grow into soul mates, is widely regarded as the most original tale of thwarted desire and heartbreak in the English language.

Although Wuthering Heights is now a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews were deeply polarised; it was controversial because of its unusually stark depiction of mental and physical cruelty, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals regarding religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality.

This edition is part of Puffin Clothbound Classics - stunningly beautiful hardback editions of the most famous stories in the world.]]> 484 Emily Brontë 0241425131 Beba 0 currently-reading 3.93 1847

]]> 9697800 Se esiste il testo sull'amore nella nostra civiltà, a cui ogni testo successivo non può che ricondursi, questo è il Simposio, il dialogo di Platone che più di ogni altro ha mantenuto intatto il fiore della gioventù e ci si offre naturalmente non già come una disputa filosofica, ma come una lunga conversazione - forse la più bella conversazione della letteratura - fra spiriti "eccellenti" (oltre a Socrate, il suo grande avversario Aristofane e il bellissimo Alcibiade) che, uno dopo l'altro, prendono la parola e raccontano di una potenza inesauribile: Eros. C'è chi dice che sia il dio più antico, altri invece sostiene che è il dio più giovane, altri che è un grande demone. A tutti esso appare "meraviglioso fra gli uomini e gli dei". Le due forme di Afrodite, il mito dell'androgino, le origini dell'antichissimo desiderio di "fare, di due, uno" e così di "guarire la natura umana", la "morbidezza" e l' "asprezza" dell'amore, la natura del desiderio: con articolazione sottilissima, attraverso le varie voci, Platone tocca tutti i punti sensibili dell'eros e infine affida a una vera iniziatrice ai "misteri d'amore", Diotima, il compito di schiuderne i segreti ultimi. E qui, come pure nell'ultima, trascinante apparizione di Alcibiade, diventano espliciti, forse più di altre volte in Platone, i riferimenti alla "sapienza" e all' "enigma". Anche per questo, dunque, Giorgio Colli è stato interprete profondamente congeniale di questo testo, in cui risuonano, limpidi e misteriosi, alcuni temi che sono stati centrali per la sua interpretazione del mondo greco.

Quando Torey Hayden legge di quella storia sul giornale non può immaginare che poco tempo dopo la ragazzina sarebbe stata assegnata alla sua classe di "bambini difficili". E sarà proprio lei a cogliere in questa bambina, scarmigliata e ostile, e considerata da tutti come irrimediabilmente perduta, un potenziale di recupero stupefacente e un'intelligenza brillante. In questo libro, crudo e insieme delicato, che ha rivelato al mondo la sua passione di psicologa e il suo talento di scrittrice, Torey Hayden ci racconta la storia commovente e terribile di Sheila e del suo ritorno alla vita.]]> 243 Torey L.

Con ritmo incalzante il protagonista si pone domande fasulle e si dà risposte evasive, mentre viene sempre più in luce il carattere tutt'altro che "mite" della giovane donna.]]> 72 Fyodor Dostoevsky 8807821435 Beba 4 sono devastata 3.82 1876

The first book H. G. Wells published, The Time Machine is a scientific romance that helped invent the genre of science fiction and the time travel story. Even before its serialization had finished in the spring of 1895, Wells had been declared "a man of genius," and the book heralded a fifty year career of a major cultural and political controversialist. It is a sardonic rejection of Victorian ideals of progress and improvement and a detailed satirical commentary on the Decadent culture of the 1890's.

This edition features a contextual introduction, detailed explanatory notes, and two essays Wells wrote just prior to the publication of his first book.]]> 160 H.G. Wells Beba 4 3.81 1895

Tra le nebbie di Londra e la lugubre Transilvania, ad affrontarsi non sono soltanto il professor Van Helsing e il leggendario Conte ma universi che incarnano valori contrapposti: l'amore e la morte, la scienza e la superstizione, il futuro e il passato, il male e il bene, in un gioco continuo di riflessi. Un romanzo che non manca di metterci a confronto con i nostri più profondi misteri primordiali. Perché, come dice Stephen King, «Dracula umanizza l'idea del male che arriva dall'esterno rendendolo così familiare che possiamo perfino toccarlo con mano».]]> 480 Bram Stoker 880623126X Beba 5 4.09 1897

Accolto freddamente dalla critica - con la sola, notevolissima eccezione di Rimbaud che ne parlò come di "un vero poema" -, il romanzo ottenne invece una strepitosa fortuna di pubblico: 3500 copie vendute in poche ore, collette popolari per acquistarlo, un vero e proprio movimento d'opinione che fece preoccupare seriamente il regime di Napoleone III, per non parlare delle innumerevoli traduzioni e riedizioni, versioni cinematografiche e teatrali, fumetti... Un successo vasto e durevole, dovuto alla straordinaria capacità di Hugo di sintetizzare la sua vocazione poetico-simbolica e quella realistico-sociale, dando così vita a un'opera in cui le vicende dei tanti, indimenticabili personaggi si intrecciano con la storia del popolo di Parigi e la rievocazione dei momenti cruciali della sua epopea, dalla battaglia di Waterloo ai moti insurrezionali del 1832.]]> 1417 Victor Hugo 880443368X Beba 0 to-read 4.54 1862

Gli animali di una fattoria, stanchi dei continui soprusi degli esseri umani, decidono di ribellarsi e, dopo avere cacciato il proprietario, tentano di creare un nuovo ordine fondato su un concetto utopistico di uguaglianza. Ben presto, tuttavia, emerge tra loro una nuova classe di burocrati, i maiali, che con l'astuzia, la cupidigia e l'egoismo che li contraddistinguono si impongono in modo prepotente e tirannico sugli altri animali più docili e semplici d'animo. Gli elevati ideali di uguaglianza e di fraternità proclamati al tempo della rivoluzione vittoriosa vengono così progressivamente traditi e, sotto l'oppresisone di Napoleon, il grosso maiale che riesce ad accentrare in sé tutte le leve del potere e ad appropriarsi degli utili della fattoria, tutti gli animali finiscono per conoscere gli stessi maltrattamenti e le stesse privazioni di prima. L'acuta satira orwelliana verso un certo tipo di totalitarismo, che ha avuto in Stalin la sua esemplificazion più clamorosa, è unita in questo apologo a una felicità inventiva e a un'energia stilistica che pongono La fattoria degli animali sulla linea della grande tradizione libellistica inglese del Settecento.]]> 115 George Orwell 880449252X Beba 4 4.21 1945

]]> 37867877 Le montagne della follia di Howard Phillips Lovecraft racconta la catastrofe di una spedizione nelle profondità inesplorate del continente antartico. Farnsworth Wright rifiutò di pubblicare l’opera su Weird Tales perché, a detta dell’editore, troppo lunga. L’orrore, per stereotipo, necessita di poche molecole di azoto, di respiri corti, mutili, di un sentimento di morte improvvisa accompagnato da brevi, fulminanti agonie: chi potrebbe sopportare uno spavento protratto oltremisura nel tempo? E invece tra le montagne della follia l’eco della paura si centuplica di grotta in grotta, e la resistenza dei personaggi e del lettore è spinta al limite della sopportazione.]]> 206 H.P.

]]> 3940247 Così parlò Zarathustra balenò a Nietzsche come una folgorazione nell’agosto del 1881, in Engadina, «6000 piedi al di là dell’uomo e del tempo». Essa coincise con il rivelarsi dell’eterno ritorno, la misteriosa intuizione che segna il passaggio alla ultima fase del pensiero di Nietzsche e lo tramuta tutto dall’interno. Così anche lo Zarathustra rielabora e ripresenta tutto ciò che Nietzsche era stato fino allora in una forma assolutamente nuova, e soprattutto in una forma incompatibile con i canoni della filosofia occidentale. «Un libro per tutti e per nessuno» dice il sottotitolo: proprio perché obbliga il pensiero a parlare immediatamente, fuori da ogni tecnicismo, in una forma poetica e profetica, Zarathustra è sempre stato il libro più letto e venerato di Nietzsche, ma al tempo stesso è il suo libro di enigmi, protetto da saldi sigilli, un libro che sorprende e appare diverso ogni volta che lo si apre. Nietzsche fu del tutto conscio di questo doppio carattere dello Zarathustra, e in certo modo di tutta la sua opera. In una lettera del 1884 scriveva: «Chissà quante generazioni dovranno trascorrere per produrre alcune persone che riescano a sentire dentro di sé ciò che ho fatto! E anche allora mi terrorizza il pensiero di tutti coloro che, ingiustificatamente e del tutto impropriamente, si richiameranno alla mia autorità. Ma questo è il tormento di ogni grande maestro dell’umanità: egli sa che, in date circostanze del tutto accidentali, può diventare con la stessa facilità una sventura o una benedizione per l’umanità».]]> 432 Friedrich Nietzsche 8845906558 Beba 4 4.05 1883
