Nuvela științifico-fantastică „Țara norilor purpurii” descrie o expediție grea și primejdioasă, bogată în evenimente dramatice, pe planeta Venus, una din cele mai greu accesibile planete ale sistemului solar.
La sfîrșitul secolului XX, în toiul marii ofensive pentru cucerirea de către om a spațiului cosmic din apropierea Soarelui, s-au descoperit pe Venus zăcăminte neobișnuit de bogate de minereuri radioactive, cărora li s-a dat denumirea de „Golconda uranică”. Pentru asaltul planetei Venus, constructorii sovietici concep o navă interplanetară de tip nou — racheta fotonică „Hius”. Un grup select de cosmonauți, alcătuit din șase oameni, este trimis să exploreze misterioasa „Golcondă uranică” și să instaleze în apropierea ei primul rachetodrom.
Aventurile prin care trece expediția în uriașele mlaștini și pustiuri negre de pe Venus sînt relatate în nuvela de față, în care facem cunoștință cu „centura roșie” și cu „enigma lui Tahmasib” și ai cărei eroi, animați de simțul datoriei și al tovărășiei, dau numeroase pilde de curaj, luptînd pentru cucerirea naturii de către om. Tinerii autori ai nuvelei, orientalistul Arkadi Strugatki și astronomul Boris Strugatki, au publicat pînă acum mai multe nuvele științifico-fantastice în diverse reviste și continuă să scrie în acest gen. În prezent ei lucrează la o nuvelă care ne povestește ce s-a întîmplat mai departe cu eroii romanului „Țara norilor purpurii”.
It’s time to bring America back to its rightful owners—the American people.
I’m not going to play the same game politicians have been playing for decades—all talk, no action, while special interests and lobbyists dictate our laws. I am shaking up the establishment on both sides of the political aisle because I can’t be bought. I want to bring America back, to make it great and prosperous again, and to be sure we are respected by our allies and feared by our adversaries.
It’s time for action. Americans are fed up with politics as usual. And they should be! In this book, I outline my vision to make America great again, including: how to fix our failing economy; how to reform health care so it is more efficient, cost-effective, and doesn’t alienate both doctors and patients; how to rebuild our military and start winning wars—instead of watching our enemies take over—while keeping our promises to our great veterans; how to ensure that our education system offers the resources that allow our students to compete internationally, so tomorrow’s jobseekers have the tools they need to succeed; and how to immediately bring jobs back to America by closing our doors to illegal immigrants, and pressuring businesses to produce their goods at home.
This book is my blueprint for how to Make America Great Again. It’s not hard. We just need someone with the courage to say what needs to be said. We won’t find that in Washington, DC.
Oui, il existe bien dans l’Amérique d’aujourd’hui une machine à explorer le temps. En l’utilisant, il serait commode de vérifier les prévisions des futurologues, d’aller voir, sur place en quelque sorte, si les programmes qu’ils ont savamment mis au point se sont réalisés. Une chimère, un simple rêve des spécialistes de la prospective ? Ou plutôt un long voyage au bout du cauchemar ?
There was a sailor's graveyard in Moon Beach. This was where the funeral business first started. Rumour had it that the witch's fingers used to reach out and sink ships. But there hadn't been a wreck for years, and all the funeral parlours had moved downtown.
Decisively aimless, self-destructive, and impulsively in and out of love, Elsie is a young woman who feels stuck. She has a tumultuous relationship with an abusive boyfriend, a dead-end job at a newspaper, and a sharp intelligence that’s constantly at odds with her many bad decisions. When her initial attempts to improve her life go awry, Elsie decides that a dramatic change is the only solution.
An auto-didact who prefers the education of travel to college, Elsie uses an inheritance to support her as she travels to Paris and Sri Lanka, hoping to accumulate experiences, create connections, and discover a new way to live. Along the way, she meets men and women who challenge and provoke her towards the change she genuinely hopes to find. But in the end, she must still come face-to-face with herself.
Whole-hearted, fiercely honest and inexorably human, is a stirring debut that, in mirroring one young woman's dizzying quest for answers, illuminates the important questions that drive us all.
