Příběh odehrávající se v Anglii na konci 19. století barvitě líčí invazi Marťanů na Zemi a popisuje bezmocnost pozemšťanů, neschopných boje s vyspělou marťanskou technikou. Kruté bytosti z vesmíru v pravidelných intervalech ničí všechno živé a do myslí pozemšťanů se vkrádá beznaděj nad neutěšeným stavem. Jak to všechno dopadne? A mají Marťané nějakou slabinu? Existuje na Zemi něco, s čím při plánování invaze nepočítali?!? Byť tento vědeckofantastický román poprvé vyšel už v roce 1898, dodnes fascinuje čtenáře po celém světě svým realistickým popisem invaze mimozemšťanů z Marsu do Anglie.

Jazz music is inherently political. It was initially confined to the segregated black communities before it became colonized while its black originators continued to be cheated and discriminated against. Jazz might not be as culturally relevant, but it remains a political music. Two professional musicians and an economics major join forces to bring back the connection between jazz and politics. In PBJ (politics, but jazz), Alex Herbert, Josh Mundt, and Brennen Schedler connect current events to a different jazz album every week. Sometimes we might compare current events to the musical ideas ...

Like his great contemporaries, John Keats and Lord Byron, Shelley suffered an untimely death, but still managed to stun the world with a wide-ranging body of work, including poetry, drama, and criticism. His poetry is that of a young man, a lover of nature and fiercely critical of institutionalized corruption, and virtuosic in his use of language and imagery.

Il digiuno deve essere riconosciuto come un processo fondamentale e radicale ed è il modo di assistenza più remoto perché impiegato sul piano dell'istinto e usato sin da quando la vita apparve sulla terra. Il digiuno è il metodo attraverso il quale la natura si libera dei "tessuti malati", degli eccessi nutritivi, degli accumuli dei prodotti di scarto e delle tossine. Nessun'altra cosa riesce ad eliminare tutto questo tanto bene quanto fa il digiuno.

Lord Chatterley (Jens Harzer) kehrt gelähmt aus dem Ersten Weltkrieg zurück. Er erlaubt seiner jungen Frau Constanze (Nora v. Waldstätten) sich einen Liebhaber zu nehmen. Ihre daraufhin beginnende leidenschaftliche Beziehung zu dem stattlichen Wildhüter Oliver Parkin (Bernhard Schütz) geht dem Lord dann allerdings doch entschieden zu weit. Seit dem Erscheinen des erotischen Romans von D. H. Lawrence im Jahre 1928, war dieser vom Hauch des Skandalösen umweht. Da kein Verlag den Stoff herausbringen wollte, lies der Autor sein Buch zunächst in Italien im Selbstverlag herstellen. Erst 1960 erschien die vollständige Ausgabe in Lawrences britischer Heimat.

Poems can evoke within us an individual response that takes us by surprise; that opens our ears and eyes to very personal feelings. Forget the idea of classic poetry being somehow dull and boring and best kept to children's textbooks. It still has life, vibrancy, and relevance to our lives today. Where to start? How to do that? Poetry can be difficult. We've put together some very eclectic Poetry Hours, with a broad range of poets and themes, to entice you and seduce you with all manner of temptations.

So etwas hatte selbst der Gasperlmaier noch nie gesehen. Dabei ist ihm schon vieles untergekommen, schließlich ist Gasperlmaier seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren Polizist in Altaussee. Aber ein Erstochener am Montag in der Früh im Festzelt vom Altausseer Kirtag, das ist auch für ein gestandenes Mannsbild wie ihn zu viel. Und so trifft er eine falsche Entscheidung, nicht die letzte an diesem Tag, und auch der Tote, der in seinem eigenen Blut im Festzelt hockt, wird nicht das einzige Opfer bleiben.

Radix Malorum, the root of all evil, is a name that has been feared for almost 2,000 years. Given the name Radix at birth in first century Greece because he was the root of his parent's love, this shadowy harbinger of death has earned his last name, which was given to him much later in life. The product of a Faustian deal with the Prince of Darkness, Radix possesses unimaginable powers. The most notable of his powers is the fact that he cannot be killed. Death has chased him for most of his existence, but all that death has been able to collect is the souls of Radix's countless victims.
