Football Stories: Ronaldo

When an army of invading Martians lands in England, panic and terror seize the population. As the aliens traverse the country in huge three-legged machines, incinerating all in their path with a heat ray and spreading noxious toxic gases, the people of the Earth must come to terms with the prospect of the end of human civilization and the beginning of Martian rule. Inspiring films, radio dramas, comic-book adaptations, television series and sequels,The War of the Worlds is a prototypical work of science fiction which has influenced every alien story that has come since, and is unsurpassed in its ability to thrill, well over a century since it was first published.

In Moreâ€s influential fantasy, first published in Latin in 1516, traveller Raphael reports on the peaceful, egalitarian society he discovered on a remote island. This edition is based on the 1684 translation by Gilbert Burnet.

في «لُعبة العروش» يبدأ چورچ ر. ر. مارتن ملحمته الكُبرى «أغنيَّة الجليد والنَّار»، صانعًا تُحفةً أصيلةً تحوي أفضل ما في أدب الفانتازيا من تشويقٍ وغموض ومغامرة على مستوًى يتجاوز الواقع إلى رحاب الخيال الخصب، ومع ذلك لا يقلُّ واقعيَّةً عن أيٍّ من القصص الإنسانيَّة الأخرى، وهو ما أوقعَ ملايين من عُشَّاق الفانتازيا حول العالم في غرام كتابته. في عالمٍ يدوم فيه الصَّيف أعوامًا والشِّتاء عُمرًا بأكمله، تبدأ سُلطة الملك الحاكم في الجنوب تتداعى بعد الظروف الغامضة المحيطة بموت يده اليُمنى الذي خدمه طويلًا بإخلاص، فلا يجد خيارًا إلَّا اللُّجوء إلى أوفى أصدقائه وآخرهم ليعاونه على حُكم البلاد، ويُقرِّر الصَّديق القبول ليَعثُر على حقيقة موت الرَّجل الذي كان بمثابة أبٍ لهما. وفيما تهبُّ الرِّياح الباردة من الشَّمال منذرةً بعودة خطرٍ قديم يُهدِّد بهلاك العالم كلِّه، تدور في قلعة الحُكم عجلة المؤامرات والمكايد بين الحُلفاء والأعداء، ويبدأ صراعٌ جديد على العرش الحديدي. لكن في لُعبة العروش لا تُوجَد منطقةٌ وُسطى، فإمَّا أن تفوز وإمَّا أن تموت
