I am very fortunate to have received Mary Magdalene''s message and to understand the future plans for the Earth. During the time that I have been recording her message, Mary has mentioned a number of concepts that have blown my mind! These are explained with a simplicity that everyone can understand.

Chaucer lived through a period of extraordinary upheaval: a protracted war with France, devastating plague, the peasants'' revolt, religious controversy, and the overthrow of the king. Compact and comprehensive, this book offers a wide-ranging account of the medieval society from which works such as The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde sprang, and shows how these and other works manifest that society in fictional form. Significant aspects of the literary scene, such as patronage, audience, and performance, help to place Chaucer''s practices in their historical framework, and his treatment of love, paganism, and reality are framed within their intellectual and philosophical contexts. The modern reception of Chaucer in film and television adaptations is also examined. Seen through the lens of his cultural experience, this is the perfect critical companion to Chaucer''s life and poetry. The book includes a chronology of Chaucer''s life and time, suggestions for further reading, websites, illustrations, and a comprehensive index.

Le grandi storie non hanno quasi mai un lieto fine. Fu così anche per i Beatles, sul cui scioglimento si sono versati fiumi di inchiostro e di veleno. Per decenni abbiamo sentito ipotesi sulle cause che avrebbero scatenato questa epocale separazione, ascoltato le (contraddittorie) versioni di giornalisti e confidenti, ma mai prima d''ora abbiamo avuto accesso alle confessioni contenute in questo libro. Nell''autunno del 1980, poco prima della tragica morte di John Lennon, l''ex direttore operativo della Apple Corp, Peter Brown, e lo scrittore Steven Gaines intervistarono Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr e tutti i membri della ristretta cerchia dei Beatles. Una piccola parte di queste testimonianze confluì nel loro bestseller internazionale The Love You Make (1983), ma nei loro archivi è rimasto un tesoro nascosto, fatto di interviste uniche ed estremamente sincere, che i due hanno tenuto nascoste fino a oggi, per oltre quarant''anni. All You Need Is Love è un''opera potente, che raccoglie e riporta alla luce confessioni oneste, intime e affascinanti, un libro che offre tutta la verità sugli ultimi giorni dei Beatles e la lascia raccontare ai protagonisti di quel momento storico su cui - da troppo tempo - gravano le nebbie della diceria e della leggenda.

Ten original essays examine the transactions between real places and the literary imagination, including the reinvention of real places in literary form, from 1800 to the present day. They deal with different kinds of locations (islands, countries, cities), the topoi writers use to articulate a sense of place (maps, ruins, landscape, history), their generic manifestations in fiction, travel writing, topography, (auto)biography and poetry, and the theoretical and methodological issues which arise. The focus moves outwards from local to regional and national issues, covering questions of cultural identity, space, representation, historicity, and modernity in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, the United States, and the South Pacific. The contributors are drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, and include established scholars as well as newer voices.
