Il mondo della letteratura fantastica riletto attraverso i cultural studies, un viaggio storico-letterario volto a inseguire un percorso immaginifico che si incrocia con il medievalismo, l'esotismo e soprattutto l'orientalismo. Una ricerca concentrata tesa a ridefinire il ruolo dell'Oriente nella narrativa di dell’immaginario, la sua percezione agli occhi del mondo occidentale, che ha posto così le basi per una dimensione distorsiva ricca di preconcetti, stereotipi e tropi di cui il fantastico è una lente d'ingrandimento e uno strumento di indagine. Dai poemi cavallereschi a Salgari, dal romanzo gotico agli orrori lovecraftiani, dalla penna di Robert E. Howard alle profezie del pianeta Dune, dalla Terra di Mezzo per finire alla contemporaneità del Trono di Spade e oltre.

Rus’ è un’antologia di dieci racconti, scritti da Fabio Andruccioli, dove la storia della Rus’ di Kiev fa da sfondo a vicende sword and sorcery dalle tinte dark e horror. Leitmotiv della raccolta è il progressivo avanzare della cristianità nelle regioni dominate dai Variaghi (o Rus’ secondo le fonti arabe) e l’inevitabile scontro con le divinità e le creature del folklore della tradizione slava. In ogni storia, i protagonisti si troveranno tra due fuochi: il nuovo corso proveniente da Costantinopoli e le ancestrali credenze tramandate davanti a un focolare nella pianura russa. I dieci racconti in antologia sono ambientati lungo l’arco di vita della monarchia russa nata alla fine del decimo secolo sulle sponde fiume Dnepr, per lo stanziarsi di alcune popolazioni di origine svedese, dette Variaghi (dalle fonti bizantine) o Rus’ (da quelle arabe). I primi due racconti (Borevit e La settimana delle Rusalki) narrano proprio questo primo periodo di incontro tra le popolazioni slave, finniche e baltiche con le squadre di mercanti e mercenari. Ma oltre alle persone, i variaghi incontreranno anche la manifestazione di antiche divinità e di creature malvagie. I racconti successivi vedono invece un’inversione di tendenza: il cristianesimo che si fa strada nella pianura russa, accompagnando le squadre di Rus’ nella ricerca di tributi e nella consolidazione del potere centrale di Kiev. Il morbo di Novgorod, Baba Jaga e La maschera del Pryp"Jat' sono racconti che hanno proprio nel contrasto tra il vecchio e il nuovo il loro fulcro narrativo che, storicamente, porterà alla doppia fede della doeverie nei territori slavi e russi. I tre racconti successivi narrano invece le vicende che avvengono durante il periodo di maggiore potenza della Rus’ di Kiev, cioè i regni dei principi Vladimir e Jaroslav, rispettivamente definiti “il Grande” e “il Saggio”: sullo sfondo delle vicende di fantasia eroica e orrorifiche, i rapporti di forza con Costantinopoli e la necessità di consolidare il potere temporale del Gran Principe con l’imposizione della nuova fede cristiana, che verrà a scontrarsi, nuovamente, con antichi rituali (La piaga del Podil), creature e templi sepolti (Il Labirinto) e oracoli di sventura (Le profezie de Likho) che coinvolgeranno anche la principessa bizantina Anna Porfirogenita. Gli ultimi due racconti vedono già una Rus’ di Kiev in declino (Il giudice) e radicata geopoliticamente nell’europa medievale, per poi arrivare alla caduta inetivatibile per mano mongola (Alena). L’opera, che può essere definita come un mix tra avventura sword&sorcery e un orrore weird, non vuole essere una perfetta ricostruzione storica di ciò che è stata la Rus’ di Kiev (anche perché le fonti storiche, soprattutto sulla sua fondazione, non sono così attendibili) ma un omaggio a quello che è il patrimonio folklorico dei paesi slavi e le sue creature, oltre alla particolare conformazione del pantheon slavo dell’epoca, ibridato dalla contaminazione della fede variaga di origine vichinga.

Una stagione nuova si è aperta per la narrativa fantastica italiana. Non più sottomessa agli imperativi del mainstream e dei luoghi comuni, la voce dei suoi autori scopre finalmente – o meglio riscopre – le radici stesse di quegli stilemi che la troppa riverenza per il fantasy d’oltreoceano aveva finito per farci dimenticare. In questa raccolta di articoli, saggi e contributi stesi in anni di lavoro, Francesco La Manno analizza così il ritorno in auge della fantasia eroica mediterranea e non solo, tracciando un vasto percorso critico che ha le sue radici nel mito.

Il sogno dell’Artiglio è quello di vivere una vita normale con la donna che ama. Ma è destinato a non invecchiare e a tentare di salvare la sua donna rapita dal Mago della Pioggia. Ogni passo un’avventura, ogni cavalcata una lotta, quasi il mondo intero tenti di non fargli raggiungere il suo scopo. Eppure più ardua si fa la strada, può tremenda la lotta, più il Guerriero centuplica i suoi sforzi per liberare la sua amata. Ma non ha contro solo uomini, mostri, maghi e dei. Ha contro anche il destino. Il volume contiene anche i seguenti saggi: - Il ritorno dell'Artiglio di Francesco La Manno. - Ove regna il fato avverso di Cristiano Saccoccia.

'He writes a clear, light prose, and he makes his interests, however bizarre, seem important.' - Punch 'One of the more earnest and interesting writers of his generation.' - The Guardian 'He has the kind of story-telling power which could charm the birds off the trees.' - The Journal (Newcastle upon Tyne) Gerard Sorme has been hired by a New York publisher to edit a book on Esmond Donelly, notorious 18th-century Irish rake, friend of Rousseau, Boswell and Horace Walpole, and author of a bawdy work on the deflowering of virgins. Sorme's quest for information on Donelly takes him to the home of a pyromaniac and flagellant in Baton Rouge, the labyrinthine corridors of the British Museum, and a remote castle in Ireland. As he digs deeper into the mystery of Donelly, Sorme uncovers a tale of intrigue, conspiracy, and murder involving a secret society, the Sect of the Phoenix, that dates back to medieval times. But the Sect still exists, and Sorme's researches have not gone unnoticed by powerful men who have their own reasons for wanting the truth about Esmond Donelly to remain hidden. . . . The God of the Labyrinth (1970), the third book of Wilson's 'Gerard Sorme trilogy', is a novel in the mode of Jorge Luis Borges that explores two of Wilson's major interests - philosophy and sex - in the form of a thrilling literary mystery. This edition, the first in more than 30 years, includes a new introduction by Gary Lachman and the original afterword by the author, in which he discusses the role of sex in literature and defends his work against charges of pornography.

A scribbled note left by a tree was the only clue to two missing men...ExcerptNot everyone, perhaps, will believe that my ten years' hatred for Edgar Halpin was the impelling force that drove me to the perfecting of a most unique invention. Only those who have detested and loathed another man with the black fervor of the feeling I had conceived, will understand the patience with which I sought to devise a revenge that should be safe and adequate at the same time. The wrong he had done me was one that must be expiated sooner or later; and nothing short of his death would be sufficient. However, I did not care to hang, not even for a crime that I could regard as nothing more than the mere execution of justice; and, as a lawyer, I knew how difficult, how practically impossible, was the commission of a murder that would leave no betraying evidence. Therefore, I puzzled long and fruitlessly as to the manner in which Halpin should die, before my inspiration came to me.I had reason enough to hate Edgar Halpin. We had been bosom friends all through our school days and through the first years of our professional life as law-partners. But when Halpin married the one woman I had ever loved with complete devotion, all friendship ceased on my side and was replaced by an ice-like barrier of inexorable enmity. Even the death of Alice, five years after the marriage, made no difference, for I could not forgive the happiness of which I had been deprived-the happiness they had shared during those years, like the thieves they were. I felt that she would have cared for me if it had not been for Halpin-indeed, she and I had been almost engaged before the beginning of his rivalry.

A memoir of the author's life while he was researching and writing a religious history called Les Martyrs, ou le Triomphe de la Religion Chretienne. The introduction includes the history of Athens and Sparta and an inquiry into religious traditions related to Jerusalem--specifically, the authenticity of claims made by religious tourists, such as visiting the actual tomb of Christ. The text of the diary is full of literary references and adventure. Unlike other travel diaries, the narrative flow is more like a novel and the entries are not just lists of weather reports, food, pretty sights, and some funny anecdotes. Since the author had a research purpose during his time there, Travels in Greece has a protagonist with a purpose.
