Skull King: De koning

Skull King: De koning

Autor: Penelope Sky

Número de Páginas: 285

Mijn echtgenoot is wreed, meedogenloos en verachtelijk. Ik haat hem met elke vezel van mijn wezen. De enige reden dat ik hem niet heb vermoord of heb geprobeerd om bij hem weg te gaan, is vanwege de belofte die ik heb gedaan. Ik heb mezelf verkocht aan hem om iemand te redden van wie ik hield ... en dit is de prijs die ik daarvoor moet betalen. Ik zat alleen in een bar toen een buitengewoon knappe man binnen kwam lopen. Hij had opvallend blauwe ogen, hoge jukbeenderen en een gespierd lichaam dat gemaakt was om te vechten. Hij was mooi. Ik kon mijn ogen niet van hem afhouden. Toen hij een drankje voor me bestelde, wees ik dat niet af. Ik was al heel lang niet meer seksueel aan mijn trekken gekomen, en ik wilde een echte man voor de nacht. Mijn man had veel verhoudingen, dus waarom zou ik dat niet ook kunnen doen? De eigenaardige ring aan zijn rechterhand viel me op, een diamant die in de vorm van een schedel was geslepen. Had ik toen maar geweten wat dat betekende, dan had ik geweten wie deze man was. De leider van de Skull Kings, hun koning. Een man die nog wreder en meedogenlozer was dan mijn eigen man.

Ik wil nooit meer terug naar Lucian, niet nadat ik met een man als Balto samen ben geweest.

This is the story of Penelope of Ithaca, famed wife of Odysseus, as it has never been told before. Many years ago, Odysseus sailed to war and never returned. For twenty years his wife Penelope and the women of Ithaca have guarded the isle against suitors and rival kings. But peace cannot be kept forever, and the balance of power is about to break . . . A beggar has arrived at the Palace. Salt-crusted and ocean-battered, he is scorned by the suitors - but Penelope recognises in him something terrible: her husband, Odysseus, returned at last. Yet this Odysseus is no hero. By returning to the island in disguise, he is not merely plotting his revenge against the suitors - vengeance that will spark a civil war - but he's testing the loyalty of his queen. Has she been faithful to him all these years? And how much blood is Odysseus willing to shed to be sure?...

“Two fierce young people battle a fiery landscape and vicious foes in a race for freedom. I was glued to my seat!” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Tamora Pierce In the Alskad Empire, nearly all are born with a twin, two halves to form one whole…yet some face the world alone. The singleborn A rare few are singleborn in each generation, and therefore given the right to rule by the gods and goddesses. Bo Trousillion is one of these few, born into the royal line and destined to rule. Though he has been chosen to succeed his great-aunt, Queen Runa, as the leader of the Alskad Empire, Bo has never felt equal to the grand future before him. The diminished When one twin dies, the other usually follows, unable to face the world without their other half. Those who survive are considered diminished, doomed to succumb to the violent grief that inevitably destroys everyone whose twin has died. Such is the fate of Vi Abernathy, whose twin sister died in infancy. Raised by the anchorites of the temple after her family cast her off, Vi has spent her whole life scheming for a way to escape and live out what’s left of her life in peace. As their sixteenth birthdays approach, Bo and...

El Arte de Amar

El Arte de Amar

Autor: Ovidio

Número de Páginas: 102

El arte de amar, escrito por Ovidio, es una obra clásica que ofrece un análisis profundo y a menudo irónico sobre el amor y las relaciones humanas. Compuesta en forma de poema didáctico, la obra está dirigida tanto a hombres como a mujeres, proporcionando consejos sobre cómo conquistar el amor y mantenerlo. Ovidio aborda el tema con ingenio y ligereza, desmitificando el amor idealizado y explorando las tácticas de seducción que, según él, pueden ser empleadas para ganar el afecto de una pareja. Desde su publicación, El arte de amar ha sido visto tanto como una guía ingeniosa de estrategias amorosas como una crítica sutil a las convenciones sociales de la época romana. La obra también plantea cuestiones sobre el poder en las relaciones, sugiriendo que el amor no es solo una emoción pura, sino un juego estratégico en el que los roles de género y las expectativas sociales juegan un papel crucial. A lo largo de los siglos, esta obra ha inspirado numerosos debates sobre el amor y la ética en las relaciones. Aunque fue censurada en varias épocas por su contenido, El arte de amar ha mantenido su relevancia debido a su tratamiento humorístico y realista de las...

Historia / History

Autor: Heródoto , José Manuel Floristán Imizcoz

Número de Páginas: 402

Con sus partes clásicas geografía, etnografía e historia-, para la filología analítica constituye una prueba clara de la condición de logógrafo del primer Heródoto, mientras que la crítica unitaria ha preferido poner de relieve la evolución de su concepto de historia desde logoi como éste hasta la idea global de la Historia de Persia.
