![]() ![]() The beauty of Lochhead's version is not just its dark sardonic humour, but also in the way it is entirely female-centred.

È un po' forte, a tratti crudo, rispetto ad altri manga del genere.Ĭi sono Yaoi più belli ed emozionanti, ma merita comunque un posto nella vostra libreria. Un flashback ci fa capire la natura del sentimento provato da Yoru. I personaggi sono caratterizzati abbastanza bene. È davvero importante definirsi? Possiamo amare qualcuno per la sua anima, per il bene che ci ha trasmesso, senza riserve e senza tormenti? Prima non si è mai sentito attratto dai maschi, quindi non si considera omosessuale. Sono molte le riflessioni che scaturiscono dalla lettura di questo manga: Yoru di è innamorato di Asa in quanto tale, indipendente dal genere. Le tematiche che vengono affrontate sono importanti, soprattutto la violenza fisica e verbale, l'omofobia e la ricerca della propria identità. Un episodio spiacevole che vede coinvolto Asaichi gli serve per cambiare e comprendere i propri errori e i propri sentimenti, avvicinandosi a Yoru e scrivendo con lui una canzone. Quest'ultimo si dimostra molto ostile nei confronti del giovane androgino. Nonostante queste premesse, Yoru decide di abbandonare il proprio ruolo di cantante per diventare il bassista della band di Asa. ![]() ![]() ![]() Yoru (notte in giapponese) si è innamorato di Asaichi (Asa significa mattina), un cantante mediocre e omofobo. The Song of Night & Day - La canzone di Yoru e Asa è un manga yaoi con una trama profonda e un bel tratto. ![]() ![]() In chronicling the life of this bast*ard son of Venetian actors, Masters draws from Casanova‘s own highly expansive memoirs, unavailable until the 1960s, and shows that many of the most racy and unlikely events have been corroborated by fact. The second volume of his autobiography Road Past Mandalay deals mostly with the. That he was also a con man, cabalist, spy, revenge taker, and experienced prisoner only enhances his appeal as one who personified the extreme social and moral contradictions of the time. Lieutenant Colonel John Masters, DSO (19141983) was an officer in the. Lawyer, mathematician, poet, translator, and librarian who was fluent in several languages, he was described by one contemporary as the most civilized man in Europe. But he was much more than the great eighteenth century lover. ![]() Written by a bestselling novelist at the height of his powers, it is an exceptionally moving story. Giacomo Casanova‘s reputation rests largely on his obsession with the mystery of exactly what was lurking between any particular woman s legs. This is the second part of John Masters' autobiography: how he fought with his Gurkha regiment during World War II until his promotion to command one of the Chindit columns behind enemy lines in Burma. ![]() ![]() ![]() Bud informs the Coates family that some kind of “strange varmint” has been ransacking vegetable patches and storehouses around the countryside. The two of them bring their female hound, and Old Yeller mates with her. One afternoon, a neighbor, Bud Searcy, drops by with his granddaughter Lisbeth. When Old Yeller rescues Little Arliss from an angry bear one afternoon, Travis’s attitude toward the dog changes: he finds himself doting on Old Yeller and appreciating his company. ![]() ![]() Over the next several weeks, Travis is desperate to prove his manliness and responsibility-but he underestimates how dangerous the natural world can be, such as when a pair of fighting bulls nearly destroy the Coateses’ cabin. Mama lets Little Arliss keep the dog-much to Travis’s chagrin-and they nickname him Old Yeller for his humanlike bark. Travis yells at the dog and chases it away, but Little Arliss runs outside and defends the dog. ![]() The next morning, when Travis goes out to fetch some meat from the storehouse, he finds a big yellow dog sleeping on the ground-the dog has eaten all of the meat. He immediately sets to work on the many tasks that need to be done around the ranch. Papa entreats Travis to act like “the man of the family” in his absence, and Travis promises to take good care of his Mama and his little brother, Arliss. Fourteen-year-old Travis Coates is left in charge of his family’s ranch while his Papa sets off on a long cattle drive from their Texas Hill Country home to Abilene, Kansas. ![]() ![]() ![]() No humans with a forehead prosthesis here. Chambers does a great job imagining alien races and cultures. There’s a myriad of different worlds and aliens at the fringes of space. ![]() There’s characters on the run from their past. There’s a close knit crew of misfits on a patched-up ship held together by duct tape and the skills of their talented engineer. The crew works together to survive, all but Lovey, the AI of the ship.įinal thoughts: The book definitely reminded me of Serenity in all the best ways. The ship nearly breaks apart as they move through tunneling space. When the ship starts the punch, they are hit by an energy weapon. ![]() The ship stops off a few places on the way and has minor adventures. They get a job to link a planet near the galactic center to the rest of galactic society. It’s a mixed species crew that punches wormholes between two locations.

Summary: Short version: We meet the crew of a tunneling ship as they take on a big job Setting: various exoplanets and space stations, far future It was even easier to read since the audiobook was available on Hoopla.

His most recent publication is a co-written chapter on Anthony Comstock in Intimate States: Gender, Sexuality, and Governance in Modern U.S. Outside of philosophy, Jeffrey is a partner in an arts & culture research firm and makes experimental music. Jeffrey Patrick Colgan is an incoming PhD student at Tulane University and a current master’s student at the CUNY Graduate Center, whose philosophical interests span the areas of social and political philosophy, analytic metaphysics, and the philosophy of language-which means that he spends a lot of time thinking about the philosophical questions around sex and sexuality, talking about grounding relations and nonbeing, and reading Wittgenstein (and his many commentators). ![]() ![]() I'm so happy they found the way to each other, the way to forgive and to accept and to help each other. We're talking about the book 6 in the series, I don't have to explain a lot. Though being sometimes a bad ass, he is very smart, LOYAL, complicated in all possible ways, sexy, witty, VERY REAL and so damn HONEST. If you look for a typical romance hero, then you're with Nick Nowak on the wrong place. It is in the first place A GREAT UNIQUE MYSTERY, EXCELLENT WRITTEN, with ONLY ONE main character - Nick Nowak, a private investigator. And Boystown 6 is even LESS a romance than the previous books. That particularly applies a romance genre.īut Boystown it is not a ROMANCE. Very often they are nothing else than countless number of misunderstandings, cheating and very unreal situations. I have to confess that I'm not a big fan of endless series. The good news - Marshall Thornton plans at least 10 sequels. ![]() The bad news - we have to wait one year for the next book. He is one of the most AMAZING, GIFTED, EXPRESSIVE and the best ONE PERSON'S POV WRITERS that this genre can offer. I should have better trusted Marshall Thornton's writing skills. NOTHING.Īnd.I was afraid: "What if the book 6 wont't be as good as I hoped?!" ![]() I spent ALMOST the whole day checking Amazon every 10 Min. You can't even imagine HOW I was waiting for it. It is why I was afraid to read the book 6. ![]() |
