A nebulous celestial body as old as the universe itself, it had been born in a vast cloud of ice, rocks, dust, and gas when the outer planets of the solar system were formed 4.6 billion years ago. Soon after its scattered particles had frozen into a solid mass one mile in diameter, it began streaking silently through the emptiness of space on an orbital voyage that carried it around a distant sun and halfway to the nearest stars again, a journey lasting many thousands of years from start to finish....
The First Voyage CHAPTER ONE The Courtesan KING OF FIRE. King of Water. Queen of the Muse. I, Amalric Emilie Antero, put quill to linen on this, the second candleday of the Harvest Month, in the tenth year of the Time of the Lizard. I swear on the heads of my descendants all I write is true. I beseech thee, My Lords and My Lady, to look with favor upon this journal. Fire, light the way through dim memory. Water, nourish the fruit of my thoughts. Muse, look with kindness on my poor skills and grant me words worthy of the tale I tell. The tale of my travels to the Far K
HIS NAME WAS THORNE. In the ancient language of the runes, it had been longer-Thornevald. But when he became a blood drinker, his name had been changed to Thorne. And Thorne he remained now, centuries later, as he lay in his cave in the ice, dreaming. When he had first e to the frozen land, he had hoped he would sleep eternally. But now and then the thirst for blood awakened him and using the Cloud Gift, he rose into the air, and went in search of the Snow Hunters. He fed off them, careful never to take too much blood from any one so that none died on account of hi

南非的启示/秦晖编著内容简介 · · · · · ·“我们时代少有的百科全书式的学者”秦晖从南非发现另一个中国,反思福利、暂住证、农民工工棚、非法强拆、新农村本书由三部分构成:曼德拉传、从南非看中国、新南非十九年。曼德拉病危使全世界又一次把目光注意到南非——这个以往多灾多难、如今多姿多彩、而未来前程无限的“彩虹之国”、“金砖”新秀。自从曼德拉领导南非人民废除种族隔离、建立民主南非、实现种族和解以来,新南非已经走过了19年的难忘历程。新南非至今虽然只有19年,但此前四年曼德拉出狱后南非就已经开始新旧“过渡期”,1993年各种族各党派终于达成最后协议即民主南非协商会议公约(CODESA),并通过了新宪法决定建立新南非,至今刚好20年了。而再往前回溯,30年前的1983年发生了非国大武装斗争期间最大的一次暴力行动“教堂街事件”;55年前的1958年非国大在加纳第一次呼吁国际社会制裁南非。另一方面,今年....

LIKE THE THEATER DISTRICTS OF so many great cities across the Imajica, whether in Reconciled Dominions or in the Fifth, the neighborhood in which the Ipse stood had been a place of some notoriety in earlier times, when actors of both sexes had supplemented their wages with the old five-acter-hiring, retiring, seduction, conjunction, and remittance-all played hourly, night and day. The center of these activities had moved away, however, to the other side of the city, where the burgeoning numbers of middle-class clients felt less exposed to the gaze of their peers out seek

This tale grew in the telling, until it became a history of the Great War of the Ring and included many glimpses of the yet more ancient history that preceded it. It was begun soon after The Hobbit was written and before its publication in 1937; but I did not go on with this sequel, for I wished first to plete and set in order the mythology and legends of the Elder Days, which had then been taking shape for some years. I desired to do this for my own satisfaction, and I had little hope that other people would be interested in this work, especially since it was primarily
