br. Una città immaginaria che somiglia a molte città. È una città antica, ha avuto un passato straordinario che le ha lasciato una grande bellezza; poi nel tempo è arrivato il degrado. La storia si sviluppa attraverso la vita e l'esperienza di due bambini: Miriam goccia di mare e Matteo dono di Dio, che sognano la città meno caotica e più accogliente verso chi è fragile o giovane: ci vorrebbe un miracolo. I miracoli avvengono solo se c'è qualcuno in grado di farli: una Fata e un Re. Ma ci vuole il tempo di realizzarli: perciò gli orologi vanno fermati almeno per sei mesi. Questo è il tempo necessario per eliminare l'inquinamento, la sporcizia e il brutto dalla città e dal mare che la bagna.
br. GROSSO GUAIO NELLA CHINATOWN MILANESE! Dopo aver perso una gamba in un'escursione scientifica sull'Adamello, i problemi per la maga Arthemysia Draken sembrano appena cominciati. Intrappolata fra un lavoro precario da insegnante e la rigida burocrazia dei permessi di soggiorno, il rischio di essere rimpatriata da Rix Belvaso, il quartiere magico di Milano, diventa sempre più alto. Nel frattempo, entro i confini del Limes, la barriera che nasconde il mondo dei magi ai comuni mortali, iniziano ad accadere cose strane. Creature mai viste prima compaiono da squarci nella realtà e attaccano le varie comunità di fatati, mannari e spettri, seguiti da guerrieri di giada che prendono vita scatenando il caos in città. E quando Tilde, sua collega e amica, scompare nel nulla, ad Arthie non resta altro che cercarla. Tutti gli indizi puntano fuori dal Limes, nel quartiere di Paolo Sarpi, dove una diabolica e millenaria forza potrebbe essersi risvegliata.

17259Both composed in Elmer West Sussex in 1955. The colourful life of the 'deeply eccentric Bradford-born writer' Jaeger is the subject of a good obituary in the Scotsman 2 October 2008. In his youth Jaeger was adopted by Lady Margaret Sackville and moved in Edinburgh high society. While studying at Montpelier University he developed a close friendship with the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. While living in Bognor Regis he made the acquaintance of Julian Maclaren-Ross with whom he sampled the wares of Fitzrovia. After the war he and Maclaren-Ross - whom he caricatured in his novel 'The Man in the Top Hat' 1949 - became door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen. The pair then turned to screenwriting alongside the future director of 'Barbarella' Roger Vadim. Throughout the fifties - and whilst also working as a labourer and playing cricket for the Sussex second eleven - Jaeger produced several charming children's books under the name 'Karel Jaeger'. In 1958 he landed a job teaching French and cricket at a prep school in Chichester and he and his wife moved into a cottage on the grounds. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in him and his work. The two items are in very good condition on lightly-aged paper in matching fake leather bindings the first green and the second black with gilt titling on the spines. Both have the pages typed on rectos only. ONE: 'Letters from an Oyster Bed.' 4 65pp. 4to. Title page reads: '"Letters From An Oyster Bed" by C. K. Jaeger'. At end of final page: 'Elmer Jan. Feb. 55.'

Chapters on third page: 'The First Letter' 'The Man From Brighton' 'A Sensational Morning' 'Lord Ben' 'Disturbing News' 'The Mayor and Lord Benn sic' 'Smollett Sounds the Ocean' 'News from England' 'Skipper Cuttle' and 'The Oyster Bed'. Jaeger has been compared to Lewis Carroll and the start of the novel gives a good indication of his style: 'The shattering news from Professor Knopp came quite unexpectedly. We were taking tea in the garden a garden that was built high up on a hill overlooking the English Channel. The seashell paths around us shimmered in the sunlight. The sky was a lilac blue. Not a cloud to be seen anywhere. Across the Channel the French were waving to us and the Rock of Gibraltar peeped over the horizon. My nephew Tan-Tan was gathering Sea Lemons in the garden. Suddenly from out of the lilac blue sky a Seagull swooped upon us and landed on the tea-table. "You Professor Dibley Dee" I sat up in surprise and looked over my spectacles at the Seagull. "Yes. . . . ." I nodded. "Thought it was. Couldn't mistake YOUR face with that long beard. Why don't you put a name or a number on your gate I've wasted hours looking for you. Can't understand people wanting to build houses on hilltops. Thank goodness I've got wings. Letter for you."' TWO: ''"The Autobiography of a Flea" or A Kind of Memoir'. 4 61pp. 4to. Title page reads: '"THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FLEA" or A Kind of Memoir by C. K. Jaeger.' At end of final page: 'Elmer. March - May. 1955'. Epigraph on second page conveys the surreal tone: 'The King and Queen of Portugander. Papa can be seen on His Majesty's cuff. Mama is on the hat. I wasn't born then.' The third page states that thhe book is dedicated to 'Catherine Karel Charlotte Joanna Sarah and Patsy With the kind permission of MACHO'. The fourth page lists the chapters 'Capitulos.' from 'The Palace where I was Born' to 'Mama's triumphant departure from the Palace'.

ABOUT THE BOOK:- Candide begins in the German town of Westphalia, where Candide, a young man, lives in the castle of Baron of Thunder - ten- tronckh. A noted philosopher, Doctor Pangloss, tutors the baron on philosophical optimism. Candide, a simple man, first accepts this philosophy, but as he experiences the horrors of war, poverty, the maliciousness of man, and the hypocrisy of the Church, he begins to doubt the voracity of Pangloss’s theory. Thus, philosophical optimism is the focus of Voltaire’s Satire; anti-war and antichurch refrains also run throughout the novel. Candide makes his way to a neighbouring town, where he is aided by two soldiers. He is pressed into service and endures beating at the hands of his superiors. He was slapped in every direction by fate. In Paris, Candide becomes ill and is attended by a variety of people, all of whom want a piece of his fortune. He recovers, but is tricked by an actress into giving away much of his fortune and is eventually arrested by the police. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:- Francois – Marie Arouet (Voltaire) (1694 - 1778) was a French Enlightenment writer, historian and Philosopher, famous for his wit, his attacks on the established Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion, freedom of speech and separation of Church and state. Voltaire was a versatile writer, producing works in almost every literary form, including plays, poems, novels, essays, historical and scientific works. He wrote more than 20,000 letters and more than 2000 books and pamphlets. He was an outspoken advocate of civil liberties, despite the risk this placed him in under the script censorship laws of the time. Voltair’s best known histories are “The Age of Louis (1751), and his “Essay on the customs and the spirit of the nation (1756). He broke from the tradition of narrating diplomatic and military events, and emphasised customs, social history and achievements in the arts and sciences.
