John M. Ford Libri

Nei suoi drammi Ford mette in scena la tragedia del corpo che culmina in una morte agognata al pari dell'estremo piacere sessuale. Giovanni, il protagonista di Peccato che sia una puttana , seguace della filosofia neoplatonica dell'Uno, nella sua estenuante ricerca della bellezza assoluta si volge a un contesto che non ha nulla di sovrumano: il corpo fremente di Annabella, sua sorella. Si compie così il loro destino incestuoso. Giovanni è implacabile nel suo furore eroico: di fronte al pentimento della sorella, che gli si nega, la uccide e viola il suo corpo estirpandone il cuore. Quel cuore che è anche la tomba del suo cuore. Anche Giovanni soccomberà alla morte, non per punizione divina, bensì per opera del suo stesso destino.

John M. Ford's The Scholars of Night is an extraordinary novel of technological espionage and human betrayal, weaving past and present into a web of unbearable suspense. Nicholas Hansard is a brilliant historian at a small New England college. He specializes in Christopher Marlowe. But Hansard has a second, secret, career with The White Group, a “consulting agency” with shadowy government connections. There, he is a genius at teasing secrets out of documents old and new—to call him a code-breaker is an understatement. When Hansard’s work exposes one of his closest friends as a Russian agent, and the friend then dies mysteriously, the connections seem all too clear. Shaken, Hansard turns away from his secret work to lose himself in an ancient Marlowe manuscript. Surely, a lost 400 year old play is different enough from modern murder. He is very, very wrong.

A coming of age story against a backdrop of life on the Moon, a Philip K. Dick award-winning novel.

The Wars of the Roses have put Edward IV on the throne of England, Lorenzo de' Medici's court shines brilliantly, and Duke Galeazzo Maria Sforza plots in Milan. But this is a changed world, and medieval Europe is dominated by the threat from the Byzantine Empire. Sforza, the Vampire Duke, marshals his forces for his long-planned attack on Florence, and Byzantium is on the march. A mercenary, the exiled heir to the Byzantine throne, a young woman physician forced to flee Florence, and a Welsh wizard, the nephew of Owain Gly Dwr, seem to have no common goals but together they wage an intrigue-filled campaign against the might of Byzantium, striving to secure the English throne for Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and make him Richard III.
