A man lives in total solitude in an abandoned mountain village. But each night, at the same hour, a mysterious distant light appears on the far side of the valley and disturbs his isolation. What is it? Someone in another deserted village? A forgotten street lamp? An alien being? Finally the man is driven to discover its source. He finds a young boy who also lives alone, in a house in the middle of the forest. But who really is this child? The answer at the secret heart of this novel is both uncanny and profoundly touching. Antonio Moresco's "Little Prince" is a moving meditation on life and the universe we inhabit. Moresco reflects on the solitude and pain of existence, but also on what we share with all around us, living and dead.

An illuminating history of both real-life lighthouses and the beacons of literature and art alike, shedding light on the multifaceted power of these liminal structures. Suspended between sea and sky, battered by the waves and the wind, lighthouses mark the battle lines between the elements. They guard the boundaries between the solid human world and the primordial chaos of the waters; between stability and instability; between the known and the unknown. As such, they have a strange, universal appeal that few other manmade structures possess. Engineered to draw the gaze of sailors, lighthouses have likewise long attracted the attention of soldiers and saints, artists and poets, novelists and filmmakers, colonizers and migrants, and, today more than ever, heritage tourists and developers. Their evocative locations, isolation, and resilience, have turned these structures into complex metaphors, magnets for stories. This book explores the rich story of the lighthouse in the human imagination.

We were riding on top of the world. We were two women in our fifties and we probably should have been anywhere other than where we were at that moment. The scenery was spectacular, but I was beginning to wonder if it was worth dying for . . . literally. The loose rocks and tight switchbacks had cost us precious time. This was not a place we wanted to get caught after dark. Edie and I rode in silence as we negotiated the treacherous footing. We had known we would face danger on this ride, but I had never envisioned anything like the scenario we were currently dealing with. My senses seemed cross wired. At a time when I should have logically been bordering on panic, I found myself engulfed in an eerie sense of calm. Fear was a luxury we couldn’t afford at the moment. If we got off this mountain alive, there would be plenty of time to be scared as we recalled the ordeal. The trail was incredibly narrow. The climb had been steep and rugged. We would reach an altitude in excess of seven thousand four hundred feet as we rode the crest of Mt. Francis. On our immediate left, a sheer rock wall rose vertically with occasional outcroppings that jutted into the trail. Our knees, at times, rubbed the craggy rock face. A glance to the right brought no comfort. A severe drop off afforded us a view of the tops of trees, hundreds of feet below. We were riding on a trail that was no more than a narrow ledge on the face of the mountain. For some reason known only to them, both horses insisted on walking along the extreme outer edge of the trail. They seemed to feel more comfortable on the edge, rather than being crowded by the wall. Both Edie and I found ourselves sitting off center and leaning slightly toward the wall. If our horses lost their footing, we hoped to be able to jump clear of them and land on the trail. A lump the size of a softball threatened to choke me each time I heard a piece of the trail crumble beneath our horse’s feet, sending rock and dirt tumbling over the edge. We had reached a point of no return. We had no idea what lay ahead of us . . . there was no way to turn around . . . no way to back the horses out of where we were . . . and at this point, dismounting was a physical impossibility due to the close proximity of the rock face and the narrow width of the trail. We both knew that we were in a potentially life threatening situation. If a cougar or a snake spooked the horses, we would all have a one way ticket to the rocky bottom of the canyon far below. That gruesome thought was still in my mind when our bad situation grew decidedly more complicated. As I focused on the trail ahead, my mind rejected what my eyes could clearly see. Thirty feet ahead of us, the trail simply disappeared! All I could see beyond that point was air . . . and lots of it. I wondered if Edie, who rode only a few feet behind me, saw what I saw . . . She did.

As featured in THE EDGE OF ALL WE KNOW - the new Netflix documentary about Black Holes For readers of Stephen Hawking, a fascinating account of the universe from the perspective of world-leading astrophysicist Heino Falcke, who took the first ever picture of a black hole. 10th April 2019: a global sensation. Heino Falcke, a man "working at the boundaries of his discipline and therefore at the limits of the universe" had used a network of telescopes spanning the entire planet to take the first picture of a black hole. Light in the Darkness examines how mankind has always looked to the skies, mapping the journey from millennia ago when we turned our gaze to the heavens, to modern astrophysics. Heino Falcke and Jorg Romer entertainingly and compellingly chart the breakthrough research of Falcke's team, an unprecedented global community of international colleagues developing a telescope complex enough to look directly into a black hole - a hole where light vanishes, and time stops. What does this development mean? Is this the beginning of a new physics? What can we learn from this about God, the world, and ourselves? For Falcke, astrophysics and metaphysics, science and faith, do not exclude one another. Black Hole is both a plea for curiosity and humility; it's interested in both what we know, and the mysteries that remain unsolved.

"When the Mothman comes to town, he leaves footprints of chaos and destruction. But when he came for me, I would leave the myth destroyed. He promised to be good, but an entity like him couldn’t claim human contracts. Not that I was any form of human. They called me an angel; I just needed a demon to balance out those dark desires I couldn’t contain. They said the villain would burn down the world for the woman he loves. What does that make me? The woman lying in ashes, and the burnt match in her hand was either him or them. And there was never a choice when you fall in love with the darkest of souls, not when they peak to the depths of your own." ★★★★★ There is Heaven, and there is Hell. But what kingdom breathes between death and ever after? Skies shatter, and air convulses. Black feathers dance with ash against the whimper of stars. His shadow smears over rays of moon and sun. Echoes of his feral cries crept into the graves that must remain buried. The Mothman is a monster. A misguided myth. With nowhere else to go. The winged beast isn't welcome here. Not when his chaos reeks vengeance for a world no longer loyal. Wing to wing, wretched wounds leak; our little monster is starving to be tamed. Or he will be. A GODDESS WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT HER REALM, EVEN IF IT COSTS HER HEAVEN. ★★★★★ This dark fantasy romance will leave you breathless. Set in a world of colorful legends turned gods, it will take you on a journey through violence, treacherous love, and a creative world unlike any other.

Join Jessica May and her five best friends, as they embark on an epic adventure when their carefully laid plans for an awesome six-week break are derailed by their family's unexpected and unwelcome decision to pack them off to summer school. Making the best of a bad situation and driven by a powerful curiosity to learn more about the strangely named institute they have been abandoned at, the six quickly realise there is far more to their new surroundings than meets the eye. With the head of the facility, Professor Naya having dispatched the group on a boring fact-finding mission, Jessica and her friends find themselves heading deep underground where they soon slip away from their guide in an attempt to track down the mysterious artefact known simply as the Twelfth Crystal Seal and around which, the school was apparently built. As the six come to learn more of the science and mythology based around the Crystal Seals' discovery, they suddenly find themselves drawn into an ancient conflict between realms of darkness and light. Guided by an unseen hand, the group stumble upon a strange crossing, a tether that binds their world to others and a place they soon learn is under the control of a fearsome array of dark-energy creatures known collectively as Arkans. Now seen by a dark Regent as a threat to the harvesting of a powerful energy known as Amberlight, Jessica and her friends are forced to embrace their destiny as they battle to not only save each other but also to gather the allies and technology they will need to save all the worlds of light.
