Àííîòàöèÿ: Milo Manara is one of the few comic artists who manages to make erotic comics and still succeed in keeping a reputation as a genuine artist. This is especially true of his serial, 'Giuseppe Bergman', which is a combination of experimental narrative and explicit sex. Manara is known to be interested in painting in general and the classical painters like Rafael in specific. As a boy, he even ran away from home to see an exhibition of the painter Giorgio di Chirico.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Do you know about the country named Thailand? Thailand is a country located in the Indo-China peninsula of Southeast Asia. Thailand is very different from our country, even though we are both in Asia. Thailand has different kind of beauty from our country, although our country is beautiful also. Let's appreciate poetry that describes the unique beauty and landscape of Thailand

Àííîòàöèÿ: Corto Maltese is another famous European comics adventure, not as famous as Tintin or Asterix, but certainly a favorite of many. Italian artist Hugo Pratt created him in the late sixties and wrote and drew his stories (about 16 volumes as far as I can tell) through the late eighties (Pratt died in 1995). Pratt is highly regarded for his drawing style and his literate adventure tales.The stories of his most famous character, Corto Maltese, have been translated into English in the past by NBM, but they are now out of print and often fetching absurd prices. I ended up getting a French translation of one of his books instead.Corto is a rogue adventurer, a sailor of British and Gypsy descent. He is classic of the type where his morals are personal and based more on freedom than any laws. While selfishly inclined to seek out treasure and adventure he is also quick to come to the aid of those who are oppressed. The adventures I have read are often based on the pull of adventure and gain versus doing what he thinks is right, though inevitably he ends up helping some poor soul.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This is the story of the birth of the nation, the signing of the U.S. Constitution, the War of 1812 and the struggles that followed. Volume Two is a photo-reproduction of an original history book used in 1890 to teach our children the grandeur of the America vision. These pages contain the stories of countless men, women and children who bravely built a new land into the great bastion of freedom we enjoy today.This book contains the history that schools leave out. It is unfortunate that many of the stories of patriotism are set aside today for current events and more recent historical interpretations. In the mad rush to offer a little piece of history from each American era, the truly inspirational events of our Founding Fathers are lost.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Handsome gambler Sir Carleton Blacklock changed lovely Danita Wingrove's luck for good. It was easy for the generous baronet to pay Danita's debts, for he gained and lost fortunes every day. But Sir Carleton soon found the pretty young miss more than charming-he couldn't lose with Danita at his side! Proud Danita swore she'd pay him back for his loan, if he'd allow it. AAnd she'd gladly serve as his good luck charm-for the chivalrous gambler was winning her heart. But as a plainly dressed companion for her exauisite cousine, Danita could only dream of capturing his affections. Unless Lady Luck stepped in...

Àííîòàöèÿ: This book presents itself as a survey, from the first to the latest, of English-Canadian poetry. The book differs from previous Penguin Anthology, the earlier poets more solidly represented, the periods better balanced. This revised edition, coinciding with Canada's own Centennial, presents a surney of the work done in English by Canadian poets during the past one hundred years.
