La vida de un brujo cazador de monstruos no es fácil. Tan pronto puede uno tener que meterse hasta el cuello en un estercolero para eliminar a la bestia carroñera que amenaza la ciudad, intentado no atrapar una infección incurable, como se puede encontrar unido a la cacería de uno de los últimos dragones, en la que la cuestión no es si los cazadores conseguirán matar a la pobre bestia, sino qué pasará cuando tengan que repartirse el botín. Magos, príncipes, estarostas, voievodas, druidas, vexlings, dríadas, juglares y criaturas de todo pelaje pueblan esta tierra, enzarzados en conflictos de supervivencia, codicia y amor, y entre ellos avanza, solitario, el brujo Geralt de Rivia.Andrzej Sapkowski es el gran renovador de la literatura fantástica de nuestros tiempos, un genio del lenguaje y la caracterización cuya prosa ya ha hechizado a millones de lectores en todo el mundo.

Her crimes have made her famous. There is only one place left to run. The tower of the swallow is waiting...

"De las llamitas, algunas altas y poderosas eran, vivamente brillaban y con claridad, otras por su parte eran pequeñas, vacilantes y temblorosas, y oscurecíase su luz y amortiguábase a trechos. En el mismo final había una llamita pequeña y tan débil que apenas ardía, apenas se removía, ora brillando con gran esfuerzo, ora casi, casi apagándose del todo. -¿De quién es ese fueguecillo moribundo? -preguntó el brujo. -Tuyo -respondió la Muerte."

A BRAND NEW TRILOGY from the author of the legendary WITCHER series, set during the vibrantly depicted Hussite wars. Reinmar of Bielau, called Reynevan, flees after being caught in an affair with a knight's wife. With strange, mystical forces gathering in the shadows and pursued not only by the Stercza brothers bent on vengeance, but also by the Holy Inquisition, Reynevan finds himself in the Narrenturm, the Tower of Fools, a medieval asylum for the mad, or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order. The 'patients' of this institution form an incomparable gallery of colourful types: including, among others, the young Copernicus, proclaiming the truth of the heliocentric solar system.This is the first in an epic new trilogy by Andrzej Sapkowski, author of the bestselling Witcher series that has become an international phenomenon and inspired a bestselling videogame and Netflix show.

Drama Characters: 4 male, 3 female Interior Set An exceptional drama by an award winning Canadian playwright. The Mercer family's cohesiveness is being torn asunder. The subtle threads of mutual understanding, confidence and trust have come unraveled. The key character is the patriarch, Jacob, a man obsessed with making his two sons reflections of himself. A complex man, sometimes compassionate, and often contradictory, who inspires rebellion in his sons, Billy, and Ben.

Two decades into the 21st Century, the U.S. faces unprecedented division, more diverse in beliefs and culture than ever. Red and blue states, secular and religious groups, and liberal and conservative factions all feel their cultures and liberties are under threat from escalating violence. This polarized tribalism, driven by extreme voices on both sides, dismisses dialogue as weakness and risks leading to secession. Through a blend of cutting-edge research and fair analysis, the book presents a stark examination of the growing ideological divide and its potential consequences. It outlines chilling scenarios where the U.S. could fracture into regions, weakening the nation and destabilizing the world. However, the future is not predetermined. By embracing James Madison's vision of pluralism, where everyone can form communities reflecting their values, we can prevent oppressive factions from gaining absolute power and protect diverse beliefs across all states. Rebuilding national unity demands courage and a commitment to kindness, decency, and grace towards ideological opponents. The call is for true tolerance to heal the American divide, emphasizing that to remain united, we must learn to stand together once more.
