Some attack trav- elers on their paths, others prey on small villages until they manage to destroy them completely, while others enter homes at night to take children while they sleep. Axlin has grown up knowing that any day it could be her turn. Her people have survived the monsters for genera- tions and have learned to avoid them in all ways possi- ble. But one day Axlin discovers that many different types of monsters exist, that each village faces its own nightmares, and that there are creatures that she does not know, and faced with which she would not know how to defend herself. Axlin is the scribe of her village, the only one who knows how to read and write. Because of this, no one around her really understands the importance of her job. But she has decided to investigate all she can about mon- sters and express her discoveries in a book that can serve as a guide and protection for other people. Per- haps only Axlin, with her analytic mind and her great thirst for knowledge, is capable of uncovering the mys- teries that are hidden by the Citadel and its guardians, Laura Gallego holds a place of honor and discover, perhaps, the best-kept secret of her world: among the authors of children’s book the origin and the nature of the monsters that torment in Spain.

Some students claim to have been attacked by an invisible force; others swear that they’ve seen objects moving in the air by their own accord, or have felt a strange presence stalking them throughout the corridors. What are we facing, exactly? At the edito- rial office of Voces we’ve gathered theories for all tastes, but the paranormal explanation is the most widely ac- cepted. At the end of the day, we all sadly remember the celebrated story of the “The Kid on the Roof”… So, there is a ghost in the school? If this is the case, who is it and what are its intentions? We don’t know yet, but may not be far away from finding out. 12+ Todas las hadas del reino All the Kingdom’s Faeries Year: 2015 Publisher: Montena Pages: 476 Rights sold: Toni Press (Bulgaria) Camelia is a fairy godmother who for three hundred years has been efficiently assisting young maidens and aspiring heroes to reach their own happy endings.

Camelia has solved harder cases; but, for some rea- son, with Simon things start to twist in an inexplicable manner… 14+ Alas de fuego / Alas negras Fire Wings / Black Wings Year: Laberinto 2004, Planeta 2016 Pages: 237 /380 Rights sold: Fanucci (Italy), J’ai Lu (France), Salamandra (Brazil) Alas de fuego: Queen Marla, who is only seventeen, is the sovereign of a splendid nation. Ahriel, a female angel, has been by her side since she was born, with the mission to guide and protect her, and to keep the balance in human kingdoms. However, when she discovers a conspiracy to start a bloody war, Ahriel is betrayed, her wings clipped, and locked up in the terrible prison of Gorlian, a primitive, wild and savage world, which no one has ever managed to escape from. Ahriel will have to learn not only to survive in Gorlian, but also to see things from a human point of view… from ground level. Alas negras: Ahriel has regained her freedom and taken her revenge, but there is still one more thing she needs to do. After going to the City of Clouds to report to her peers, she renews her search for the magic prison of Gorlian to recover what she left behind when she escaped. She is determined to do anything to find it, even questioning the only person who knows where it is hidden. It will not be easy to reach this person, but Ahriel will not be alone this time… 2018 Children & YA Catalogue - Antonia Kerrigan Literary Agency 10+ Omnia Omnia Year: 2016 Publisher: Montena Pages: 284 Rights sold: Amazon Crossing (English World), Toni Press (Bulgaria) Everyone knows that at Omnia, the great virtual shop, one can buy anything.

The kings, very worried about the Princess Griselda’s future, decide to find her a husband.

    polifoniaeISSN 22376844 Romantismo e imaginário hugoano. Volubilidade do “Homem que ri” nas artes visuais Romanticism and the hugolian imaginary. The volubility of The man who laughs in visual arts El romantismo y el imaginario de Victor Hugo. La volubilidad de El hombre que ríe en las artes visuales Junia Barreto Universidade de Brasília Resumo O imaginário hugoano é permeado pela figura onírica do caos, que se traduz em excesso, estranhamento, totalidade; elementos que compõem a estética romântica. Excesso e desordem expressos na desfiguração do L’homme qui rit, imagem do caos, figura do amontoamento da massa, mas une force qui va. Texto de tonalidade ímpar, carrega em suas releituras contemporâneas − no romance gráfico ou no cinema − a extemporaneidade ao período romântico e, na expressão do verbo, traço e imagens, o que as une ao romantismo francês, em sua mutabilidade e multiplicidade de sentidos. Da palavra ampla do monstro irrompe a volúpia que desorganiza os sentidos e os gêneros, aproximando e distanciando a estética hugoana do protótipo romântico. Palavras-chave: imaginário hugoano, L’homme qui rit, artes visuais. Abstract The oneiric image of chaos permeates Hugo’s imaginary, translated into excess, strangeness and totality, elements that integrate the romantic aesthetics. Excess and disorder are expressed in the disfigurement of The man who laughs, an image of chaos and accumulation of masses, but “a force that moves”. That text has a unique tone, and its contemporary filmic and graphic novel re-readings are marked by extemporaneous romantic elements, so that they relate to French romanticism in its mutability and multiplicity of senses through words, traces and images.

  • Orbital I the Orb Na Soundedit
    Orbital i The Orb na Soundedit The Orb pojawi się w Łodzi podczas 10. edycji Festiwalu Soundedit. Zespół wystąpi w czwartek, 25 października 2018 r. w Klubie Wytwórnia (ul. Łąkowa 29). Natomiast 26 października (piątek) zagrają: zimnofalowa legenda The Opposition oraz kultowo-klubowa Morcheeba. 27 października (sobota) wystąpią: Mery Spolsky, Nosowska i Giorgio Moroder. Tego samego dnia odbędzie się uroczysta Gala wręczenia nagrody "Człowieka ze Złotym Uchem". The Orb założyli w 1988 r. Alex Paterson oraz Jimmy Cauty, którzy są absolutnymi pionierami ambient house. Ich pomysł na muzykę elektroniczną to spowolnione, bardziej uduchowione rytmy. The Orb wystąpi podczas 10. edycji Festiwalu Soundedit. Zagrają 25 października w łódzkim klubie Wytwórnia poprzedzając Orbital. Przez lata działalności członkowie tylko Alex Paterson przetrwał wszystkie zawirowania składu zespołu. Jego kariera muzyczna rozpoczęła się we wczesnych latach 80. Pracował wtedy jako techniczny formacji Killing Joke, gdzie na basie grał i gra nadal przyjaciel Alexa jeszcze z dzieciństwa - Martin "Youth" Glover (muzyk został nagrodzony statuetką "Człowieka ze Złotym Uchem" w 2012 r.). Po opuszczeniu Killing Joke w 1986 r., Paterson spotkał się Jimmy'ego Cauty, a duet zaczął występować razem jako The Orb w legendarnym londyńskim klubie The Land of Oz. Wspólne muzykowanie w naturalny sposób przerodziło się w nagrywanie płyt. Następnie Patterson i Youth założyli wytwórnię płytową WAU!/Mr. Modo Records. W 1990 r. wydali klasyczny już singiel "Little Fluffy Clouds", na którym wykorzystano fragmenty kompozycji "Electric Counterpoint" Steve'a Reicha. Utwór został odnotowany na 275 pozycji listy "New Musical Express" 500 najważniejszych utworów wszechczasów. W 1991 r. The Orb zarejestrowało swój pierwszy album "The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld", na którym znalazł się również wspomniany singiel.
