Strange phenomena, sinister manifestations... It's hard to believe what is happening in Pieve Olimpia and there seems to be only one explanation:gods and creatures have returned from the parallel crystals to the primary world, where they seem determined to remain and restore the ancient splendors of past civilizations. But by using their supernatural powers in the heated battles to conquer one another, the gods risk destroying the planet. Aki and Lilith face an impossible mission as the world's only hope for survival. A series of twists and turns in an escalation of epic battles among mythological monsters will leave you breathless.
Mysterious, disturbing signals from the crystals. Devastating, inexplicable catastrophes on Earth. Are the two connected? Meanwhile, a new and dangerous adventure awaits Aki as he goes on a backward journey to Peru to free Emilio and the Master of Knowledge, Pioquinto Conocedor, from the clutches of the evil Draven Hatcher. A mission full of peril that takes Aki among the Roman gods on the Crystal of Rea Silvia. But to make things even more complicated, Aki finds himself involved in a trial involving two Roman gods accused of nefarious deeds.
Following his first journey to the Crystal of Yggdrasil, Aki is shaken and confused. He still can't believe that the gods and creatures he thought existed only in mythology are actually real and living. But he will have to get used to the idea very soon, because this is just the beginning of his new life as an heir to the Superior Beings. In fact, Aki finds out that a very close friend, and the last person he would have expected, is an heir like himself. The young girl has the gift of oneiromancy, a gift that allows her to see the future through dreams, and she is certain that something very troubling is about to happen. With the help of the Sphere of Time, the two friends will embark on a risky mission on the Crystal of Nammu. Accompanied by the loyal cat, Timoteo, and guided by a powerful demigod, the journey will be rife with perils from the Gallu demons to the goddess Ereshkigal, until the truth is finally revealed before their very eyes.
Aki's world is forever altered when he stumbles upon an extraordinary gift—the ability to traverse distant realms, a power bestowed upon him by the mysterious Sphere of Time. Fueled by this newfound talent, Aki embarks on an odyssey that unravels the boundaries between reality and myth, where gods and creatures once dismissed as legends come to life, challenging the very fabric of his existence. It is the story of a young boy’s resilience in his fight against unimaginable odds, as he is transported into a world where magic, mystery, and courage all converge in a quest to conquer the secrets that lie within the realm of the Parallel Crystals.
Achilles Chiorri, known as Aki, believes he is a normal twelve year-old like everyone else; that is, until he discovers he has the power to travel to the distant worlds of the Parallel Crystals. With the help of a mighty artifact, the Sphere of Time, Aki goes on his first great journey and discovers that the gods and creatures he thought were only myths, are actually alive and all too real. Aki, together with an extraordinary girl and a special cat, is led by an elf of the Light as he travels through the realms of the Crystal of Yggdrasil, where he will encounter amazing creatures. To be able to return home, Aki must embark on a dangerous mission that leads to an exciting series of events full of twists and turns.
On the last day of his beach vacation, Aki receives a mysterious text from Lilith. When he returns to Pieve Olimpia, he discovers that Lilith and her entire family seem to have vanished into thin air. Sick with worry for his friend, Aki rushes off to find Mr. Filippotti, who tells him that Lilith has gone to the parallel crystal called Atum, inhabited by the gods and mythological creatures of Ancient Egypt. It turns out that one of Lilith's recurring dreams had revealed a terrible threat is hanging over the ancient and powerful talisman known as the Eye of Horus. Aki decides to go after his friend. The Sphere of Time beams him to the Crystal of Atum right in the middle of a ferocious war among gods. Only after a series of dangerous and frightening adventures Aki will finally find Lilith and discover what is threatening the Eye of Horus.
The "world of letters" has always seemed a matter more of metaphor than of global reality. In this book, Pascale Casanova shows us the state of world literature behind the stylistic refinements--a world of letters relatively independent from economic and political realms, and in which language systems, aesthetic orders, and genres struggle for dominance. Rejecting facile talk of globalization, with its suggestion of a happy literary "melting pot," Casanova exposes an emerging regime of inequality in the world of letters, where minor languages and literatures are subject to the invisible but implacable violence of their dominant counterparts. Inspired by the writings of Fernand Braudel and Pierre Bourdieu, this ambitious book develops the first systematic model for understanding the production, circulation, and valuing of literature worldwide. Casanova proposes a baseline from which we might measure the newness and modernity of the world of letters--the literary equivalent of the meridian at Greenwich. She argues for the importance of literary capital and its role in giving value and legitimacy to nations in their incessant struggle for international power. Within her overarching theory, Casanova locates three main periods in the genesis of world literature--Latin, French, and German--and closely examines three towering figures in the world republic of letters--Kafka, Joyce, and Faulkner. Her work provides a rich and surprising view of the political struggles of our modern world--one framed by sites of publication, circulation, translation, and efforts at literary annexation.
Over fifty years after the Situationist International appeared, its legacy continues to inspire activists, artists and theorists around the world. Such a legend has accrued to this movement that the story of the SI now demands to be told in a contemporary voice capable of putting it into the context of twenty-first-century struggles. McKenzie Wark delves into the Situationists’ unacknowledged diversity, revealing a world as rich in practice as it is in theory. Tracing the group’s development from the bohemian Paris of the ’50s to the explosive days of May ’68, Wark’s take on the Situationists is biographically and historically rich, presenting the group as an ensemble creation, rather than the brainchild and dominion of its most famous member, Guy Debord. Roaming through Europe and the lives of those who made up the movement – including Constant, Asger Jorn, Michèle Bernstein, Alex Trocchi and Jacqueline De Jong – Wark uncovers an international movement riven with conflicting passions. Accessible to those who have only just discovered the Situationists and filled with new insights, The Beach Beneath the Street rereads the group’s history in the light of our contemporary experience of communications, architecture, and everyday life. The Situationists tried to escape the world of twentieth-century spectacle and failed in the attempt. Wark argues that they may still help us to escape the twenty-first century, while we still can.
Sport is a global phenomenon engaging billions of people and generating annual revenues of more than US$ 145 billion. Problems in the governance of sports organisations, fixing of matches and staging of major sporting events have spurred action on many fronts. Yet attempts to stop corruption in sport are still at an early stage. The Global Corruption Report (GCR) on sport is the most comprehensive analysis of sports corruption to date. It consists of more than 60 contributions from leading experts in the fields of corruption and sport, from sports organisations, governments, multilateral institutions, sponsors, athletes, supporters, academia and the wider anti-corruption movement. This GCR provides essential analysis for understanding the corruption risks in sport, focusing on sports governance, the business of sport, planning of major events, and match-fixing. It highlights the significant work that has already been done and presents new approaches to strengthening integrity in sport. In addition to measuring transparency and accountability, the GCR gives priority to participation, from sponsors to athletes to supporters an essential to restoring trust in sport.
