A writer of uncanny, occult powers, De Maria has crafted an intensely relevant allegory that will take its rightful place alongside the darkest of Saramago and Poe. Read 301 reviews from the world's largest community for readers. The Twenty Days of Turin is an unholy masterwork of the macabre, more than just a beautifully terrifying ghost story. De Maria’s prescient vision is a welcome and timely addition to the weird fiction of distinctly earthly terrors. The Twenty Days of Turin by Giorgio De Maria The Twenty Days of Turin book. ![]() unlike any earlier weird-ideology tale I’ve read, The Twenty Days of Turin has a viciousness and caprice to its horror that feels very current. The Twenty Days of Turin turns the state of tension that neofascist terror attempted to create into a metaphysical condition, a supernatural threat summoning forces no one can control. The Twenty Days of Turin is an unholy masterwork of the macabre, more than just a beautifully terrifying ghost story. De Maria foresaw the way the internet - especially the portion of it defined by the pathologies of isolation - makes its users into consumers and creators simultaneously, fostering a paradoxical community of isolates mirroring their solipsisms at each other. This is a book written in 1975 and featuring no technology more advanced than high-end analog audio recordings, yet it grasps the implications of social media in ways cyberpunk never did. ![]() uncanny both in terms of its subject matter and in the way it prefigures the emotional reality of our own period. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments Dune messiah kindle![]() ![]() Worshipped as a religious icon by the fanatical Fremen, Paul faces the enmity of the political houses he displaced when he assumed the throne-and a conspiracy conducted within his own sphere of influence.Īnd even as House Atreides begins to crumble around him from the machinations of his enemies, the true threat to Paul comes to his lover, Chani, and the unborn heir to his family’s dynasty.

Who is on board? And does it mean any harm? It quickly becomes clear that ‘Rama’ is of alien origin, created by a highly technologically advanced civilisation. A space craft is dispatched to investigate the object and report back to earth. Following a meteor’s catastrophic collision with earth some years earlier (spookily, Clarke’s chosen date is September 11th), earth’s defences are primed to react immediately to any perceived threat. In Rendezvous with Rama, what appears to be an asteroid enters the solar system. Readers can find some of the themes that interested Clarke in 2001: A Space Odyssey examined further here. Clarke’s next project after 2001: A Space Odyssey, which Stanley Kubrick’s big screen adaptation brought to a much wider audience. Rendezvous with Rama first appeared in print in 1973. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A Story From Ferentari by Ivana Mladenovic, co-written with Adrian Schiop – the author of the book that provides the story for this film – delicately treats just such a case of intersectionality: in an atmosphere of typical Ferentari virility, Adi, a 40 year old man working on his doctor’s degree, with a thesis on Manele, begins a relationship with 35 year old Alberto, a Roma man who has spent half his life behind bars. Even more rare are such scenes containing characters that belong to different social classes and different ethnic groups and gay characters. In the last 20 years of Romanian Cinema, although there have been frequent couples being shown on screen, there have been seldom any intimate scenes that really evoke the complex relationship between the two people, the power dynamic between them, the shadow of the things left unsaid. ![]() 6/8/2023 0 Comments Blue mind nichols![]() ![]() He is a Research Associate at California Academy of Sciences and his work has been broadcast on NPR, BBC, PBS, National Geographic and Animal Planet and featured in Time, Newsweek, GQ, Scientific American and New Scientist, among others. ![]() Nichols has a PhD in Wildlife Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona.

Part 1 of the book is a series of essays from a monthly column he wrote for the literary magazine Lettres Nouvelles between 19. The second, and perhaps contradictory, representation of Einstein's brain is as a construction of deep complexity, capable of immense amounts of hard work, the meaning of which only Einstein himself could fully understand. In Mythologies (originally published in 1957), Barthes analyzes a number of such myths from France in the 1950s. ![]() ![]() This representation, the author suggests, evokes a sense of magic, mystery, and spirituality.
