Ronin: Star Wars Visions - Un roman inédit by Emma Mieko Candon Pdf

Un ancien Sith mystérieux erre à travers la galaxie dans cet incroyable conte Star Wars. Une histoire totalement inédite, inspirée par l'univers d'un des courts-métrages animés de la série Visions : Le Duel ! Aux confins les plus reculés de la galaxie, un vagabond solitaire parcourt la Bordure Extérieure. Au mépris des édits impériaux, le Rōnin n'hésite pas à arborer une lame très particulière. Son nom n'est connu de personne et nul ne sait ce qu'il recherche. Tout ce que l'on sait, c'est que la mort et le désastre fleurissent dans son sillage. Ce nom oublié, nul doute que les dieux eux-mêmes l'ont frappé de malédiction.... Traduit de l'anglais (États-Unis) par Nathalie Huet

Star Wars Visions: Ronin by Emma Mieko Candon Pdf

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A mysterious former Sith wanders the galaxy in this stunning Star Wars tale, an original novel inspired by the world of The Duel from the Star Wars Visions animated anthology. The Jedi are the most loyal servants of the Empire. Two decades ago, Jedi clans clashed in service to feuding lords. Sickened by this endless cycle, a sect of Jedi rebelled, seeking to control their own destiny and claim power in service of no master. They called themselves Sith. The Sith rebellion failed, succumbing to infighting and betrayal, and the once rival lords unified to create an Empire . . . but even an Empire at peace is not free from violence. Far on the edge of the Outer Rim, one former Sith wanders, accompanied only by a faithful droid and the ghost of a less civilized age. He carries a lightsaber, but claims lineage to no Jedi clan, and pledges allegiance to no lord. Little is known about him, including his name, for he never speaks of his past, nor his regrets. His history is as guarded as the red blade of destruction he carries sheathed at his side. As the galaxy's perpetual cycle of violence continues to interrupt his self-imposed exile, and he is forced to duel an enigmatic bandit claiming the title of Sith, it becomes clear that no amount of wandering will ever let him outpace the specters of his former life.

Star Wars Visions: Ronin (novela) by Disney Pdf

Una novela al estilo japonés sobre un misterioso sith errante. Los jedi son los sirvientes más leales del Imperio. Hace dos décadas, los clanes jedi, al servicio de los señores feudales, se enfrentaron. Asqueados de este ciclo sin final, una secta de jedi se rebeló con la intención de recuperar el control de su destino y su poder y de dejar de servir a este o a aquel amo. Se hacían llamar «sith». La rebelión de los sith fracasó por culpa de las traiciones y de las luchas internas y los señores, que antaño habían sido rivales, se unieron para crear un Imperio. No obstante, ni siquiera un Imperio en paz está libre de la violencia. Lejos de la frontera del Borde Exterior, un antiguo sith viaja acompañado únicamente por un droide leal y el fantasma de una era menos civilizada. Aunque empuña una espada láser, asegura que no pertenece a ningún clan jedi y que no rinde pleitesía a ningún señor. Poco se sabe de él, ni siquiera su nombre, porque nunca habla ni de su pasado... ni de aquello de lo que se arrepiente. Su historia está tan guardada como su arma, una destructiva espada roja que lleva siempre envainada. El perpetuo ciclo de violencia de la galaxia no deja de interrumpir su exilio autoimpuesto y, en un momento dado, cuando se ve obligado a enfrentarse en duelo a una bandida que asegura ser sith, se da cuenta de que no importa adónde vaya... jamás será capaz de dejar atrás los espectros de su vida anterior.

The African Roots of Marijuana by Chris S. Duvall Pdf

After arriving from South Asia approximately a thousand years ago, cannabis quickly spread throughout the African continent. European accounts of cannabis in Africa—often fictionalized and reliant upon racial stereotypes—shaped widespread myths about the plant and were used to depict the continent as a cultural backwater and Africans as predisposed to drug use. These myths continue to influence contemporary thinking about cannabis. In The African Roots of Marijuana, Chris S. Duvall corrects common misconceptions while providing an authoritative history of cannabis as it flowed into, throughout, and out of Africa. Duvall shows how preexisting smoking cultures in Africa transformed the plant into a fast-acting and easily dosed drug and how it later became linked with global capitalism and the slave trade. People often used cannabis to cope with oppressive working conditions under colonialism, as a recreational drug, and in religious and political movements. This expansive look at Africa's importance to the development of human knowledge about marijuana will challenge everything readers thought they knew about one of the world's most ubiquitous plants.

#Accelerate by Robin Mackay,Armen Avanessian Pdf

An apparently contradictory yet radically urgent collection of texts tracing the genealogy of a controversial current in contemporary philosophy. Accelerationism is the name of a contemporary political heresy: the insistence that the only radical political response to capitalism is not to protest, disrupt, critique, or détourne it, but to accelerate and exacerbate its uprooting, alienating, decoding, abstractive tendencies. #Accelerate presents a genealogy of accelerationism, tracking the impulse through 90s UK darkside cyberculture and the theory-fictions of Nick Land, Sadie Plant, Iain Grant, and CCRU, across the cultural underground of the 80s (rave, acid house, SF cinema) and back to its sources in delirious post-68 ferment, in texts whose searing nihilistic jouissance would later be disavowed by their authors and the marxist and academic establishment alike. On either side of this central sequence, the book includes texts by Marx that call attention to his own “Prometheanism,” and key works from recent years document the recent extraordinary emergence of new accelerationisms steeled against the onslaughts of neoliberal capitalist realism, and retooled for the twenty-first century. At the forefront of the energetic contemporary debate around this disputed, problematic term, #Accelerate activates a historical conversation about futurality, technology, politics, enjoyment, and capital. This is a legacy shot through with contradictions, yet urgently galvanized today by the poverty of “reasonable” contemporary political alternatives.

The Coming of the French Revolution by Georges Lefebvre Pdf

The Coming of the French Revolution remains essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of this great turning point in the formation of the modern world. First published in 1939, on the eve of the Second World War, and suppressed by the Vichy government, this classic work explains what happened in France in 1789, the first year of the French Revolution. Georges Lefebvre wrote history "from below"—a Marxist approach. Here, he places the peasantry at the center of his analysis, emphasizing the class struggles in France and the significant role they played in the coming of the revolution. Eloquently translated by the historian R. R. Palmer and featuring an introduction by Timothy Tackett that provides a concise intellectual biography of Lefebvre and a critical appraisal of the book, this Princeton Classics edition continues to offer fresh insights into democracy, dictatorship, and insurrection.
