Ce roman inédit constitue une aventure à part entière dans l'univers de A Plague Tale.Situé chronologiquement entre les événements de A Plague Tale: Innocence et A Plague Tale: Requiem, le roman A Plague Tale:Tenebris narre les mésaventures d'Amicia et Hugo, ainsi que de leur mère Béatrice et de leur ami Lucas, confrontés à de nouveaux antagonistes. 1348. Quelques jours après le combat qui les a opposés au Grand Inquisiteur Vitalis, Amicia et Hugo apprennent qu'ils sont recherchés et prennent la direction de l'Est, loin des troupes anglaises affaiblies et d'une Inquisition revancharde. Secrètement à leurs trousses, des Flagellants menés par un zélote bien décidé à faire de Hugo le martyre christique qui accompagnera leurs processions en « éclaboussant du sang sacré de ses plaies l'Humanité pécheresse ». Très vite, la routine itinérante du groupe est troublée par le réveil de la Macula qui afflige Hugo de céphalées et de cauchemars terribles. Après quelques manifestations étranges qui leur permettent néanmoins d'échapper à l'implacable exorciste, Béatrice et Lucas sont catégoriques : les cauchemars d'Hugo, exaltés par la Macula, commencent à altérer le réel autour de lui (émotions contagieuses, confusion des sens, hallucinations, rats paniqués qui échappent à l'appel du garçonnet). Les jours passent, et les symptômes d'Hugo s'intensifient, mettant en péril à la fois sa santé mentale et la vie de ses compagnons.Un roman haletant, développé en étroite collaboration avec le studio Asobo, où vous aurez plaisir à retrouver les personnages avant de les incarner à nouveau dans A Plague Tale: Requiem.

"All art," Oscar Wilde once announced, "is quite useless." Selected here are some of his finest prose works on the subject of art - useless, illuminating, artificial, uplifting, radical, gorgeous, boring, sublime - and his most brilliant aphorisms on the creative life. Whether lamenting the crass urge to hold art to realist or natural standards or arguing against morality as a guiding principle, Wilde defends the artist while delighting the audience.

The chronicle of Stephen Dedalus's Dublin childhood and youth offers an oblique self-portrait of the young James Joyce. Exuberantly inventive, this coming-of-age story is a tour de force of style and technique.
Originally published in serial format in "The Egoist" between 1914 and 1915, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," is the semi-autobiographical portrayal of James Joyce's early upbringing as an Irish Catholic in late 19th century and early 20th centur
"A Posthumous Confession "is narrated by Termeer, a deeply frustrated man who persuades himself that only in murder can he find ultimate satisfaction. Emotionally stunted, thanks to his upbringing by forbidding and condemning parents--they never miss a chance to remind him that he is a worthless mediocrity--Termeer is rapidly living up to their low expectations when, to his own and others' astonishment, he successfully woos a beautiful and gifted woman. But instead of finding happiness in his marriage, he discovers it to be a new source of self-hatred, hatred that he directs at his innocent wife and child. And when he becomes caught up in an affair with a woman as demanding as his own self-loathing, Termeer murders his wife. What is the self? What makes it go permanently, murderously wrong? Marcellus Emants's lacerating exploration of this age-old tragic question looks backward to Dostoyevsky and forward to Simenon, and beyond that to the memoirs of our own day.

In this groundbreaking book, Knight shows how the Qabalah and its basic diagram, the Tree of Life, is a system of relationships among mystical symbols that can be used to gain access to the hidden reaches of the mind. He also demonstrates how the Qabalah is applicable to all mystical traditions and religious beliefs, including Christian mysticism, Greek, Egyptian and Celtic mythologies, and even Native American beliefs. It is indeed symbolic of our universal search for the Divine. Included here are two books in one. The first compares the Western Mystery Tradition with the Eastern system of yoga, analyzes the Tree of Life in full detail, and describes the practical application and theories of Qabalistic symbolism. The second gives the most comprehensive analysis ever published of the twenty-two "Paths of Concealed Glory" that join the Spheres of the Tree of Life taking into account the Hebrew alphabet, astrological signs, and tarot trumps. A large section explores the history of tarot design and the varying systems of correspondence with the Tree of Life.
