1000 tulosta hakusanalla Eve Edwards
The robot Pentser is the last of his kind. Technology is obsolete. It only exists in museums and the collections of oddballs like Govil. Govil is a 19th Century Romantic living in a 31st Century utopia, a Garden of Eden manufactured by GenieCorp(TM) that meets Mankind's every need, whim, and fancy with biological Creature Comforts(TM). Illness, war, poverty, famine, and death are gone. And so are love, parents, children, and families. A world where everyone is eternally happy, healthy, and wealthy; everyone but Govil. Like any other decent 19th Century Romantic hero, Govil needs to discover a great love, a great cause, and Pentser is game to help. Man and robot team up to do the unthinkable, create a deliberately average, normal woman, Eve. In the conflict which ensues, Govil, Pentser, Eve, and GenieCorp(TM) each in turn experience the same eternal law: beware of what you wish for, it may come true. EVE is Aurelio O'Brien's vividly original, sharp, sweet, and satirical tale of Govil's adventure. Part Swift, part Shelley, and a little Shaw, EVE takes place in a future that is both stunning and silly, beautiful and earthy, but at all times grounded in the obscure psychology of human desire.

C' tait au cours de l'ann e 1913. En six mois, au retour d'une marche Notre-Dame de Chartres, Charles P guy crit avec fougue, ferveur et foi un long po me sur la Cr ation qu'il publiera en d cembre dans les Cahiers de la Quinzaine.L'oeuvre parut extravagante. Elle l' tait sans doute par sa longueur inusit e, qui comporte huit trag dies en cinq actes et 8000 alexandrins d'une seule coul e, mais aussi par son mode d'expression po tique: des alexandrins de facture classique, soigneusement rim s et rythm s, et solidement arrim s comme pour une travers e au long cours.

The unforgettable true story of two married journalists on an island-hopping run for their lives across the Pacific after the Fall of Manila during World War II-a saga of love, adventure, and danger. On New Year's Eve, 1941, just three weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were bombing the Philippine capital of Manila, where journalists Mel and Annalee Jacoby had married just a month earlier. The couple had worked in China as members of a tight community of foreign correspondents with close ties to Chinese leaders; if captured by invading Japanese troops, they were certain to be executed. Racing to the docks just before midnight, they barely escaped on a freighter-the beginning of a tumultuous journey that would take them from one island outpost to another. While keeping ahead of the approaching Japanese, Mel and Annalee covered the harrowing war in the Pacific Theater-two of only a handful of valiant and dedicated journalists reporting from the region. Supported by deep historical research, extensive interviews, and the Jacobys' personal letters, Bill Lascher recreates the Jacobys' thrilling odyssey and their love affair with the Far East and one another. Bringing to light their compelling personal stories and their professional life together, Eve of a Hundred Midnights is a tale of an unquenchable thirst for adventure, of daring reportage at great personal risk, and of an enduring romance that blossomed in the shadow of war.
Helena Kennedy focuses on the treatment of women in our courts - at the prejudices of judges, the misconceptions of jurors, the labyrinths of court procedures and the influence of the media.
