Uzhe otgremela krovoprolitnaja Pljaska drakonov i vymerli poslednie krylatye jaschery, no Zheleznyj tron po-prezhnemu zanimajut koroli iz dinastii Targarienov, a slova "chest" i "doblest" esche ne utratili byloj sily.

2023. aasta sügisel oma 75. juubelit tähistanud George R. R. Martinile meeldisid juba poisikesena kõige enam kosmilised planeedilood, mis viisid ta rännakutele kaugetesse galaktikatesse ja võõraste tähtede juurde. Ning just selliseid lugusid hakkas ta ise noore ulmekirjanikuna 1970ndatel kirjutama. "Tuhande Maailma lood" on Martini 22. eestikeelne raamat, mis tutvustab nagu juba varem Orpheuse Raamatukogus ilmunud "Öölendajad" (2012), "Valguse hääbumine" (2020) ja "Haviland Tufi reisid" (2020) meile teda eelkõige kui kosmoseulme kirjanikku.Selle mahuka kogumiku lühiromaanide ja juttude tegevus toimub kirjaniku Tuhande Maailma nime kandvas tulevikuajaloos, kus inimkond on levinud planeedilt Maa ümbritsevatesse tähesüsteemidesse ning loonud suure Föderaalimpeeriumi. Kohtutakse ka kahe tulnukrassiga, kellega peagi algab sajandeid kestev konflikt, mille käigus kõik kolm tsivilisatsiooni lõpuks kokku varisevad. Inimkond teeb läbi Valitsuseta Aja ja taastub, kuid ei moodusta enam kunagi ühtset poliitilist tervikut. Sõda muudab suhtluse eri maailmade vahel veelgi kaootilisemaks, kui see niigi oli, ja iga planeet kogeb Kollapsit omal viisil ning ajal. Mõnes maailmas katkevad tähelennud viieks aastaks, mõnes viiekümneks, mõnes viiesajaks. Kuid suur sõda ning selle järelmõjud on neile põnevatele planeediseiklustele vaid kaugeks fooniks...

Dzhordzh Martin. Pisatel, ochen rano i legko dobivshijsja ogromnogo uspekha. Nachinaja s rasskazov i povestej, predstavljavshikh soboj smeluju smes nauchnoj fantastiki i "uzhasov" (za proizvedenija v etom zhanre udostoen dvukh "Khjugo" i dvukh "Nebjula"), rabotal i v "klassicheskoj" nauchnoj fantastike, no vposledstvii stal podlinnym masterom fentezi, kotorogo kritiki stavjat naravne s D.R.R.Tolkinom i R.Dzhordanom. Pered vami - znamenitaja epopeja "Pesn lda i ognja". Epicheskaja, chekannaja saga o mire Semi Korolevstv. O mire surovykh zemel vechnogo kholoda i radostnykh zemel vechnogo leta. O mire opasnykh prikljuchenij, tonchajshikh politicheskikh intrig i velikikh dejanij. O mire lordov i geroev, drakonov, voinov i magov, chernoknizhnikov i ubijts - vsekh, kogo svela Sudba vo ispolnenie prorochestva...Perevodchik: Sokolov Ju. R.Redaktor: Berezhkov V.

A Dance With Dragons. Part 2

Tirion Lannister esche ne stal zalozhnikom zhestokogo roka, Bran Stark esche ne sdelalsja kalekoj, a golova ego ottsa Neda Starka esche ne skatilas s eshafota. Ni odin chelovek v Korolevstvakh ne smeet dazhe predpolozhit, chto Dejeneris Targarien kogda-nibud nazovut Materju Drakonov. Vesteros ne privel k pokornosti sosednie gosudarstva, i Zheleznyj Tron, kotoryj, soglasno pogovorke, kovalsja v krovi i plameni, daleko esche ne nasytilsja. Drevnjaja, kak sam mir, istorija skhodit so stranits vetkhikh manuskriptov, i tolko my, septony, mozhem otdelit pravdivye sobytija ot zhalkikh basen, i istinu ot klevetnicheskikh navetov.Prisjadte zhe poblizhe k ognju, dobrye slushateli, i vy uznaete:- kak Korolevskaja Gavan stala stolitsej stolits,- kak svershalis slavnye podvigi, nepodvlastnye voobrazheniju, - i kak bratja i sestry, ottsy i materi terjali razum v krovavoj borbe za vlast,- kak drakone plemja postepenno ustupalo mesto drakonam v chelovecheskom obliche,- a takzhe i mnogie drugie byli i stariny - smeshnye i nevyrazimo uzhasnye, brjatsajuschie zhelezom dospekhov i igrajuschie na peselnykh dudkakh, napolnjajuschee nashi serdtsa gordostju i pechalju...Perevodchik: Vilenskaja Natalja Isaakovna

This book explores the critical role of urban food production in strengthening communities and in building ecosocialism. It integrates theory and practice, drawing on several local case studies from seven countries across four continents: China, Cuba, Ghana, Italy, Tanzania, the UK, and the US.Research shows that the term "urban agriculture" overstates the limited food-growing potential in cities due to a shortage of land required for growing grains, the basic human food staple. For this reason, the book suggests "urban cultivation" as an appropriate term which indicates social and political progress achieved through combined labours of urbanites to produce food. It examines how these collaborative food-growing efforts help raise local social capital, foster community organisation, and create ecological awareness in order to promote urban food production while also ensuring environmental sustainability. This book illustrates how urban cultivation constitutes a potentially important aspect of urban ecosystems, as well as offers solutions to current environmental problems. It recentres attention to the global South and debunks Eurocentric narratives, challenging capitalist commercial food-growing regimes and encouraging ecosocialist food-growing practices.Written in an accessible style, this book is recommended reading about an emergent issue which will interest students and scholars of environmental studies, geography, sociology, urban studies, politics, and economics.

In All You Need is Ears, legendary Grammy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated record producer George Martin shares tales from his life and musical career with the Fab Four. "George," he said, "I don't know if you'd be interested, but there's a chap who's come in with a tape of a group he runs. They haven't got a recording contract, and I wonder if you'd like to see him and listen to what he's got?" "Certainly," I said, "I'm willing to listen to anything. Ask him to come and see me." "OK, I will. His name's Brian Epstein . . . " George Martin spotted the Beatles' talent, and recorded and produced The Fab Four from the start right through to The Beatles Anthology. Often called "the fifth Beatle," Martin not only produced but also arranged some of the band's most iconic and distinctive songs, including "Yesterday." In this witty and charming autobiography, Martin describes exactly what it was like to work in the studio with the Beatles--from their first audition (and his decision to scrap Pete Best on drums) to the wild experimentation of Sgt. Pepper, complete with sound effects, animal noises, and full orchestras in evening dress at the direct request of Paul McCartney. All You Need Is Ears is an intimate insider's look at the most important pop group of all time, and how they made the music that changed the world: it's an inimitable look at the Beatles' creative process, and at the interplay of genius and practical improvisation that gave them their sound. It's an indispensable read for Beatle lovers and anyone interested in how the world of popular music really works.
