Imagine a scifi world where disco dancing is a form of prayer, spacesuits are required burqa-type clothing for both sexes, the Star Wars movies are a sought-after Holy Grail, and war and rape are required forms of prayer to God or Dog. This is the Adolfist religion. In its humble beginnings, though, naive young messiah Adolf H. Canon doesn't want any of these things.

Northanger Abbey
ISBN: 9781541093928 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Northanger Abbey is a satire of the Gothic novels popular at the time of its first writing in 1798-99. The heroine, Catherine, thinks life is like a Gothic novel, but her real experiences bring her down to earth as an ordinary young woman. The novel is more explicitly comic than her other works and contains many literary allusions that her parents and siblings would have enjoyed, as a family entertainment-a piece of lighthearted parody to be read aloud by the fireside. The novel names many of the Gothic novels of that time and includes direct commentary by Austen on the value of novels, which...

Norbert Wickbold Denkzettel 2: Die zweite Staffel

He and Michelle took on a journey through limited time and chartered space, in an untrusting period that needed more of reaction...
