Ele possui um temperamento impaciente, é incomodado com sua altura e vive em uma enorme mansão conectada com diversos mundos paralelos. O final é surpreendente.Īs próximas 6 histórias contam sobre Oshikiri, um jovem que é envolvido por eventos estranhos que podem ou não ser alucinações. É retomada a narrativa de Victor e o ápice da história acontece. Alguns acontecimentos importantes acontecem e Victor reecontra o monstro, que por sua vez reconta tudo que ele enfrentou, a rejeição por parte das pessoas, a extrema solidão e solicita que o seu 'mestre' crie uma companheira. Ao perceber em Walton a mesma ambição que o destruiu, Victor reconta toda sua história, como cresceu, sua família, seus estudos na Alemanha, seu contato com química e outras ciências e como criou a criatura. ![]() ![]() ![]() Durante a jornada ele avista uma criatura gigante e pouco tempo depois encontra Victor Frankenstein, que diz estar atrás desta criatura.

Naden's Ron's Big Mission, a fictionalised account of a real incident in space shuttle astronaut Ron McNair's childhood (Ron McNair was one of the seven astronauts who lost their lives in the 1986 Challenger explosion), shows how a simple and more importantly how a non-violent act of civil protest and courage against racially discriminatory regulations (and by a nine year old child at that) can challenge racist attitudes, can change unjust and discriminatory rules and regulations for the better. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Tales of the city barbary lane![]() The last three novels of Armistead Maupin’s bestselling, critically-acclaimed Tales of the City are now available for the first time as an omnibus edition. Maupin deftly illustrates how far America and the pioneering Anna have come, and nearly forty years into the series, his writing remains wildly addictive but is deeper and richer.”- People ![]() “These final days of his San Francisco friends and lovers, gay and straight, are seriously moving. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Armistead Maupin's bestselling Tales of the City novels-the final three of which are collected in this third omnibus volume-stand as an incomparable blend of great storytelling and incisive social commentary on American culture from the seventies through the first two decades of the new millennium. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments My train patti smith![]() ![]() ![]() Like her famous black-and-white Polaroid photos (some of which are scattered throughout the book), the chapters of “M Train” are magic lantern slides, jumping, free-associatively, between the present and the past, and from subject to subject. Smith, 68, is remarkably attuned to the sound and sorcery of words, and her prose here is both lyrical and radiantly pictorial. Her book is about moving from a time when her children were little and “the things I touched were living” (“my husband’s fingers, a dandelion, a skinned knee”) to a time when she increasingly began to capture and memorialize moments from her life in photos and words - to create, as an artist, talismanic souvenirs of the past.

Losing her husband, the guitarist Fred (Sonic) Smith, to heart failure in 1994 at the age of 45. ![]() Patti Smith’s achingly beautiful new book, “M Train,” is a kaleidoscopic ballad about the losses dealt out by time and chance and circumstance. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Zero Regret by Autumn Jones Lake![]() ![]() ![]() We show through the Los Arenales MAR systems (Central Spain) that MAR is a low-regret CC adaptive measure. Nonetheless, few examples explicitly prove this point. MAR is often mentioned in the literature as a CC adaptation measure. ![]() Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is a term that includes a series of techniques that enhance groundwater storage for later use or environmental purposes. A sound bridge between both approaches is low-regret adaptive measures, which result in win-win scenarios, as they provide solutions to current pressures and contribute to building CC adaptive capacity. Two approaches are commonly used to formulate adaptation measures, namely bottom-up and top-down, each with inherited limitations. In view of heightened climate change (CC), adaptation strategies are imperative to diminish the impacts on social and environmental assets. ![]() |
