Roberta Rambelli Book order (chronological)

Marty McFly è un ragazzo come tanti: vive in una cittadina di provincia, frequenta svogliatamente la scuola, ama il rock degli anni Ottanta, ha ovviamente un paio di genitori, anche se non della miglior specie. Se non ci fosse la tenerezza di Jennifer, la bella e spigliata compagna di scuola, e soprattutto la complice amicizia con "Doc" Brown, un eccentrico scienziato, per Marty la vita sarebbe qualcosa da cui sfuggire. La fuga, ma un'incredibile fuga all'indietro, avverrà comunque, grazie a un ardito esperimento dell'amico scienziato e a una ruggente DeLorean a propulsione nucleare che funge da "macchina del tempo". Marty si ritrova così scaraventato nel 1955, addirittura prima della sua nascita, nella sua cittadina com'era una volta. Non penserebbe che a "ritornare al futuro", se non ci fosse l'occasionale incontro con due coetanei destinati a diventare i suoi genitori.

Des livres au contenu prodigieux ont été systématiquement détruits tout au long de l'Histoire, d'autres ont été rendus inaccessibles au public grâce à des méthodes de chiffrage. C'est le casdu livre de Thoth, des stances de Dzyan, du manuscrit Voynich et d'Excalibur, le livre qui rend fou. Ils sont successivement étudiés par Jacques Bergier, dans cet ouvrage inédit, qui examine également le pourquoi des destructions massives d'ouvrages ésotériques, commece fut le cas dans l'incendie de la Bibliothèque d'Alexandrie. Une conclusion s'impose: il existe une conspiration contre un certain type de savoir, faussement appelé occulte, une conspiration qui couvre tous les pays et se rencontre à toutes les époques. Qui donc brûle les livres maudits ?

Sconcertante, misterioso, imprevedibile, Il Santo Graal è un giallo storico che prende avvio da alcuni incredibili indizi ritrovati a Carcassone, centro della Francia meridionale. Il quadro che ne emerge è quanto mai sconvolgente: Gesù non morì sulla croce, sposò Maria Maddalena - da cui ebbe alcuni figli - e, con la famiglia, si rifugiò in Francia presso una comunità ebraica. I suoi discendenti regnarono con il nome di Merovingi, creando successivamente il Sacro Romano Impero, maestoso disegno di un'Europa finalmente unita.

Jean Auel's fourth volume in the Earth's Children sequence is a massive work that retains the sweeping historical saga and detail that characterized the earlier books. Following the groundbreaking The Clan of the Cave Bear, which set a new standard in the genre, the series continued with The Valley of Horses and The Mammoth Hunters, captivating readers with vivid depictions of an ancient world. In this installment, protagonists Ayla and Jondalar leave the safety of their life with mammoth hunters by the Black Sea to embark on a daunting journey across the continent to Jondalar's childhood Cro-Magnon settlement. Their odyssey is filled with peril, accompanied only by their half-tame wolf, the stallion Racer, and the mare Whinney. Auel's evocative scene-setting enhances the high adventure, immersing readers in stunning landscapes. While characterisation may be functional rather than inspired, it complements the vivid descriptions that bring the world to life. The prose captures breathtaking moments, such as the rising sun illuminating a dazzling white plain under a uniquely colored sky, reflecting the red dawn and glacial ice. Auel's ability to create such striking imagery continues to define her work.

While preparing his case, Hardy learns that both of Jennifer's husbands had physically abused her. But Jennifer refuses to allow a defense that presumes her guilt. She is not guilty, she claims. Hardy is now driven to seek an alternative truth a jury can believe. As the trial progresses, the complex truth itself begins to change, to bend, to fade in and out of focus as the clock keeps ticking on Jennifer's fate, until there seems only one person left to convince, and she is "the 13th juror"—the judge. The 13th Juror is a stunning and suspenseful novel of moral ambiguity, of good intentions, bad judgements and the tortuous path to ultimate justice.

Pubblicato in occasione del settantesimo anniversario del socialismo in URSS, Perestrojka è diventato in tutto il mondo il 'caso' dell'anno: un caso editoriale senza precedenti, ma anche un avvenimento di straordinaria importanza che ha mutato il corso della storia contemporanea.
