"We are at war, and during wars, people die."

This is one of my all time favorite books and I have read it several times and wish someone would turn this onto movie.

It was the first of her books that I read. While waiting for the others to come out, I read her earlier works. Which were all fine...

AuthorHarold Pinter
ISBN0571225632
I find Pinter interesting and challenging as a playwright. His plays--like so many modern playwrights--need to be seen as well as read to fully appreciate them. I had the same experience with The Homecoming, I found that it was only by both reading the play and seeing the teleplay that I could appreciate...

The adventures of Fungle the Gnole must surely appeal to a wide audience. This creature, who demonstrates a common sense far superior to ours, the inheritor of powers and understanding far beyond our own, charms thoroughly. I actually came across the book in a charity shop and bought it simply because...
AuthorRuth Chew
ISBN0590308882
“The Wishing Tree”, 1980, is among Ruth Chew’s stories that I enjoyed best. It doesn’t contain intrusive parent figures. For instance, they care for a cat until they know if he belongs with anyone else and may keep him, if he doesn’t. These children, Peggy & Brian are able to freely go to...

It seemed like a routine delivery job.

Except that the parcel was a jug containing a genie called Erimines the Ethical, who knew the secret of immortality but was actually more interested in sex after being bottled up on his own for more than 1,400 years.

Except that the wizard to whom...

The First Named
AuthorJonathan Wylie

Piacevole.
Il Mago di Ark è un romanzo del 1987 e risente, nello stile, della sua età. Scritto in anni in cui l'avventura la faceva da padrone e l'introspezione dei personaggi era cosa poco diffusa, fa fatica a carburare.
Nella prima parte infatti incontriamo una serie di personaggi abbastanza...
