Mailand: Stadt der Mode und des Designs, berühmt für seine Scala und seinen Dom. Auch eine Stadt, um auf Monster-Safari zu gehen? Dieses Buch will den Blick des Betrachters in Winkel und Ecken lenken, auf Motive, die eher ein Schattendasein im Licht der Attraktionen dieser Stadt führen. Zu unrecht, wie die 120 Farbaufnahmen belegen, die zum ersten Mal in gesammelter Form veröffentlicht werden. Wasserspeier, Blattmasken und Fabelwesen, als Steinmetz Arbeiten liebevoll bis ins kleinste Detail ausgeführt, befinden sich nicht nur am großartigen Dom selbst, sondern sind auch zahlreich in den noblen Einkaufsstraßen, über den exklusiven Mode- und Juwelierläden zu entdecken. Milan: City of fashion and design, famous for its Scala and its cathedral. Also a city for monster hunting? This book intends to guide the eyes of the reader to hidden corners and places, to motifs which lead a shadowy existence in the light of the city's attractions. Very wrongly so, as the 120 coloured photos prove which are published for the first time. Gargoyles, foliate masks and mythical creatures, carved out of stone with a love for details, are not to be found on the great cathedral alone, but also in the elegant shopping streets, perching above the exclusive fashion and jewellery shops.

Everybody has been in Milan, but who knows Milan? The traveller in search of the picturesque and mediæval sees nothing to arrest him—except comfortable hotels—in a city which seems to tell only of yesterday. A glance at the Cathedral, at St. Ambrogio, at the most famous of the pictures, and he hurries on. Yet a little longer stay reveals a wealth of artistic interest in the many fine churches, in the rich galleries and museums, and much also that is worth learning even in the outward aspect of the city in the present day. The historic buildings have mostly fallen, the old crooked ways have given place to broad thoroughfares, the picturesque life of the past has been smothered by the sombre bustle of modern commercialism. But her heritage of beauty is to some extent inalienable. She remains always Italian. Colour and atmosphere lend an indestructible charm even to her modernity. The warm brick of the buildings against the limpid blue sky, the gold and grey of sunshine and shadow, the shining canals that border some of the further streets with a still and pensive melancholy, make a lovely and characteristic harmony still, as in the days of the Quattrocentist artists who painted them in the backgrounds of their Madonnas and San Roccos. And there are some old xivstreets left, mostly in the heart of the city, such as the Via del Pesce and the Via Tre Alberghi, long cobbled alleys ribboned with triple lines of pavement, where the tall houses and bowed-out balconies of curious ironwork, rusted by age and weather, if they cannot remember the days of Milan's earlier glory, must have known at least something of the sad centuries of bondage which followed, before they shook to the roar of the Cinque Giornate sixty years ago. The compass of this small volume has made it impossible to tell otherwise than summarily of the great past of this city and of her artistic riches to-day. I have had to pass over, or barely mention, many noteworthy things.

Ein Nebelhengst bringt Unglück. Das glauben jedenfalls die Einwohner des Königreichs Fenror. Pech für den jungen Unfreien Kjell, dass sein Fohlen ausgerechnet ein solcher Graufalbe ist. Kjell weigert sich, das Tier zu töten und flieht mit ihm in den Wald der Gesetzlosen. Immer in der Furcht, von den Häschern des Königs gefasst zu werden, baut Kjell sich hier ein neues Leben auf. Drei Jahre später zwingen ihn jedoch widrige Umstände erneut zur Flucht. Bei zahlreichen gefährlichen Begegnungen mit Sklavenhändlern, Trollen, Elben und Seedrachen erweist sich der nun ausgewachsene Nebelhengst als zuverlässiger Begleiter und treuer Kampfgenosse. Doch Kjell ahnt nicht, dass die besonderen Fähigkeiten seines vierbeinigen Freundes ihm schließlich den Weg zu seinem eigenen Schicksal weisen werden.

Professor Frederick Lothian, retired engineer, world expert on concrete and connoisseur of modernist design, has quarantined himself from life by moving to a retirement village. Surrounded and obstructed by the debris of his life, he is determined to be miserable, but is tired of his existence and of the life he has chosen. When a series of unfortunate incidents forces him and his neighbour, Jan, together, he begins to realise the damage done by the accumulation of a lifetime's secrets and lies, and to comprehend his own shortcomings. Finally, Frederick Lothian has the opportunity to build something meaningful for the ones he loves. Humorous, poignant and galvanising, this is a novel about all kinds of extinction - natural, racial, national and personal - and what we can do to prevent them.

This work is a history of the Pacific, the ocean that became a theatre of power and conflict shaped by the politics of Europe and the economic background of Spanish America. There could only be a concept of &�the Pacific once the limits and lineaments of the ocean were set and this was undeniably the work of Europeans. Fifty years after the Conquista, Nueva Espaą and Peru were the bases from which the ocean was turned into virtually a Spanish lake.

Gargoyles takes you on a journey into a mysterious world, through bestiaries and traveling menageries, past grotesques and chimeras, through medieval cities and guilds and into huge stone buildings. Gargoyles are an embodiment of form and function—serving a clear architectural purpose but, also, symbolically important. Whether warding off evil, frightening away fear or showcasing human foibles, when a gargoyle was placed on a building, people noticed. The book delves into historic models of arcane craftsmanship and architecture, considering the reasons for gargoyles coming into being and hearing the legends of the gargoyle, both mythic and modern. It, also, covers the emergence of stone creatures into popular culture. For modern magick users, Gargoyles explores the role of the gargoyle in magickal practice, including gargoyle use in elemental correspondences, stone magick, protection, warding, egregores, talismans, animal associations, ritual and spell work.
