Some of the short stories found in The Complete Robot and other anthologies are clearly not set in the same universe as most of them (the Foundation Universe), even though they feature positronic robots obeying the Three Laws. They all, however, share a theme of the interaction of humans, robots, and morality. The stories were not initially conceived as a set, but rather all feature his positronic robots - indeed there are some inconsistencies among them, especially between the short stories and the novels. The unique feature of Asimov's robots are the Three Laws of Robotics, hardwired in the robots' positronic brains, which all robots in his fiction must obey, and which ensure that robots don't turn against their creators. Most of Asimov's robot short stories are set in the first age of positronic robotics and space exploration. Real instances of queer happily ever afters aren’t as mainstream or easily accessible, because history has obscured a lot of those relationships. Historical romance takes a bit of research (even when you’re playing fast and loose with historical detail). I have some thoughts on why that might be, although none of it is particularly scientific. While it’s true that finding queer (particularly f/f) romance novels isn’t as difficult as it used to be, it’s interesting to note that there are far more contemporary queer romances than historical queer romances, particularly in traditional romance publishing. Most notably, the last five years have seen an explosion of queer romance in traditional publishing, and that’s really encouraging, even if my insatiable taste keeps demanding MORE. These days, romance novels have expanded from the classic clinch covers, and we’re seeing loads of diversity when it comes to characters, time periods, and settings in romance. It used to be that when someone said “romance novels,” those two words conjured up images of mass market paperbacks displaying illustrations of straight white couples from a vaguely historical time period clutching at each other. So far, I’ve published 5 novels and around 10 short stories in three, four languages. Livido in particular has been published in English as Nexhuman, first in Australia by Xoum and now in the USA by Apex Books. Over the last 10 years I’ve won 2 Urania Mondadori Award (e-Doll in 2009 and Bloodbusters in 2014), 1 Odissea Award (Livido in 2012) and 1 Italia Award (Livido in 2013). ◊ ◊ ◊ DJ: Hi Francesco!

He also published his own collection catalogue the same year (Eudel, 1884b). As a collector of antique silverware,Įudel was well aware of forgeries and wrote a book on the topic (Eudel, 1884). 'La vente Hamilton' (Eudel, 1883b), and 'Champfleury, sa vie, son œuvre et ses collections' (Eudel, 1891). He also published collection notices, such as 'Le baron Charles Davillier' (Eudel, 1883a), Together in 'Collections et collectionneurs' (Eudel, 1885).

On the subject of collecting and is best remembered for his chronicles of Hôtel Drouot, the foremost auction house in France, Paul Charles Théodore Eudel (1837-1911) was one of the great French collectors, bibliophiles and art critics of the 19th century. The Paul Eudel Studies on Collectors & their Collections By then, Reagan had met his future life partner, fellow actress Nancy Davis. In Doc Brown’s 1955, Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman had already been divorced for 6 years. The joke, however, also has a convenient–yet factually incorrect–additional jab in mentioning actress Jane Wyman. The Great Communicator himself was a huge fan of the film (in his 1986 State of the Union address, he stole the famous line “where we’re going we don’t need roads”) and by all accounts, laughed so hard at the Ronald Reagan joke during a White House screening that he asked the projectionist to back it up and play it again. “Ronald Reagan?

The project was unveiled as part of a Kickstarter (running until April 1) with its predecessor, so it is unclear for now when it will be published. Writer Robert Napton, artists Kerry Gammill & El Garing, and letterer Richard Starkings will reunite for the book, which also has the blessing of Boris’s daughter Sara Karloff. – Legendary Comics announced “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Starring Boris Karloff,” a spiritual sequel to 2020’s “ Bram Stoker’s Dracula Starring Bela Lugosi,” which (as its name implies) will retell the story of the original novel with the likeness of 1931 Frankenstein star Boris Karloff.

Livres HebdoĪ novel that is both personal and universal on the pains of exile. She moves forward as if on a thread, as an outsider, as a passenger, avoiding snags, her gaze fixed on the horizon of a world ready to topple. The narrator describes her daily struggle as if she were a spectator, a stranger to her own destiny, in a state of quasi-dissociation, necessary to stay on course. |
