Sie meinte fast, sie riechen zu können, die heiße Luft und den Ruß. Den Rauch der Eisenbahnen, das glühende Metall der Schienen und die Funken – Lew hatte diese Welt November getauft und sofort wusste sie, wieso. Es war ein ewiger November. Rau und unwirtlich, aber auf eine seltsame Art und Weise vertraut. Seit Lewis denken kann ist er ein Kind zweier Welten. Zwei Heimaten kämpfen in ihm um den Sieg und nach 20 Jahren scheint es ein Endergebnis zu geben: das nächste Mal wird er aus dem seltsamen Reich auf der anderen Seite, in das er regelmäßig verschwindet, nicht zurück kehren. Seitdem May sich in Lewis verliebt hat, ist ihr klar, dass sie ihn niemals verlassen wird. Und so folgt sie ihm in die andere Welt aus Eisenbahnschienen und Rauch, eine Welt, die im Wandel ist. Plötzlich findet sie sich in einem Netz aus Macht und Intrigen wieder und sie ist tiefer darin verstrickt, als sie jemals geahnt hätte. [more]

„Aber ich bin wie eine Motte“, flüstere ich, „ängstlich und allein in der Dunkelheit. Du hingegen bist das Licht, das ich nicht zu deuten weiß. Verheißt dein Schein wirklich die Sicherheit, nach der ich mich sehne, oder ist es am Ende ein Feuer, in dem wir beide verbrennen?“ Seit sie denken kann, wird die siebzehnjährige Annabell in ihren Träumen von Morgan heimgesucht. Wiederholt entführt er sie an geheimnisvolle Orte, wo er sie die Einsamkeit, mit der sie in der Realität Tag für Tag konfrontiert wird, vergessen lässt. Längst schon ist aus ihrer Freundschaft Liebe geworden – eine unwirkliche Liebe, nicht greifbarer, als ein Sonnenstrahl.Als sie bei einem Ferienausflug zum ersten Mal auf Lewis trifft, verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit. Im Schimmer der Morgendämmerung gleitet ein Boot auf wasserlosem Untergrund durch den Nebel, Bilder märchenhafter Meerjungfrauen erwachen zum Leben und junge Rosen erblühen dort, wo man sie nicht vermutet hätte.Kann Annabell ihrer eigenen Wahrnehmung noch länger trauen oder hat Lewis, der auffällig oft ihre Nähe sucht, womöglich etwas damit zu tun? Ist er so real, wie es auf den ersten Blick scheint? Und wenn nicht, wie viel Traumgestalt steckt dann noch in Morgan?Kann aus einem Traum vielleicht doch Wirklichkeit werden? [more]

Three artists walk into a coffee bar... Our plan was simple enough. Meet up, sit down, and not only create, but explore/discover/investigate how to share and distribute our creative projects in the emerging, ever changing social media and the dynamic gig economy. We decided the best way to do this was to take a hands-on route; collaborate and create an ebook for online and print on-demand distribution as well as gain direct experience marketing and monetizing our art. Initially, we dubbed ourselves the Creative Collective, set-up our laptops and entered the vast digital world. Just like Lewis and Clark, Henson and Byrd, Kirk and Spock, Hillary and Norgay, we trekked, traversed, traumatized and returned with the boon [more]

Antoine-Simon Le Page du Pratz (1695?–1775)[1] was an ethnographer, historian, and naturalist who is best known for his Histoire de la Louisiane. It was first published in installments from 1751–1753 in the Journal Economique, then completely in three volumes in Paris in 1758. After their victory in the Seven Years' War, the English published it in translation in 1763. The memoir was based on Le Page's years in Louisiana from 1718 to 1734, when he learned the Natchez language and befriended native leaders. It included an account by Moncacht-apé, a Yazoo explorer who had completed travel to the Pacific Coast and back, a century before the Lewis and Clark Expedition. He had learned of oral traditions of a land bridge to Asia, by which the Native Americans had come to North America. [more]

dolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier (August 6, 1840 – March 18, 1914) was an American archaeologist after whom Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico, United States, is named. Bandelier was born in Bern, Switzerland. When a youth he emigrated to the United States. As a young man he labored unhappily in his family business.

Beginning his studies in Sonora (Mexico), Arizona and New Mexico, he made himself the leading authority on the history of this region, and — with F. H. Cushing and his successors — one of the leading authorities on its prehistoric civilization. [more]

Geoffrey Chaucer (/ˈtʃɔːsər/; c. 1343 – 25 October 1400), known as the Father of English literature, is widely considered the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages and was the first poet to be buried in Poet's Corner of Westminster Abbey. While he achieved fame during his lifetime as an author, philosopher, alchemist and astronomer, composing a scientific treatise on the astrolabe for his ten year-old son Lewis, Chaucer also maintained an active career in the civil service as a bureaucrat, courtier and diplomat. Among his many works, which include The Book of the Duchess, the House of Fame, the Legend of Good Women and Troilus and Criseyde, he is best known today for The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer is a crucial figure in developing the legitimacy of the vernacular, Middle English, at a time when the dominant literary languages in England were French and Latin. [more]
