The Hunger Games (Hunger Games Trilogy, Book 1)
Suzanne Collins • 2009
This Special Edition of <i>The Hunger Games</i> includes the most extensive interview Suzanne Collins has given since the publication of <i>The Hunger Games</i>; an absorbing behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the series; and an engaging archival conversation between Suzanne Collins and YA legend Walter Dean Myers on writing about war. The Special Edition answers many questions fans have had over the years, and gives great insight into the creation of this era-defining work.<p></p>In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to death before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Still, if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

The fourth book in the blockbuster phenomenon MAZE RUNNER SERIES now features chapters from The Fever Code, the highly-anticipated conclusion to the series—the novel that finally reveals how the maze was built! Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the Maze, sun flares hit the earth, killing most of the population. Mark and Trina were there when it happened. They survived. But now a virus is spreading. A virus that fills humans with murderous rage. They’re convinced that there’s a way to save those who are left—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some you’re worth more dead than alive. The Maze Runner and Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials are now major motion pictures featuring the star of MTV's Teen Wolf, Dylan O’Brien; Kaya Scodelario; Aml Ameen; Will Poulter; and Thomas Brodie-Sangster.

Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury • 2013
"Sixty years after the original publication, Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel 'Fahrenheit 451' stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. This sixtieth-anniversary edition commemorates Ray Bradbury's masterpiece with a new introduction by Neil Gaiman ; personal essays on the genesis of the novel by the author ; a wealth of critical essays and reviews by Nelson Algren, Harold Bloom, Margaret Atwood, and others ; rare manuscript pages and sketches from Ray Bradbury's personal archive ; and much more. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature."--taken from back cover.

Serpent and dove
Shelby Mahurin • 2020
Una strega e un cacciatore di streghe legati nel sacro vincolo del matrimonio. Un amore che gioca col fuoco. Louise le Blanc è fuggita dalla sua congrega e si è rifugiata a Cesarine, rinunciando a ogni forma di magia e vivendo di furti ed espedienti. Perché in quella tetra città le streghe come lei fanno paura. Vengono braccate. E mandate al rogo. Reid Diggory è un cacciatore, ha giurato fedeltà alla Chiesa e da sempre vive secondo un unico, ferreo principio: uccidere le streghe. La sua strada non avrebbe mai dovuto incrociare quella di Lou, eppure un perverso scherzo del destino li costringe a un'unione impossibile: il santo matrimonio. Ma anche se quella tra le streghe e la Chiesa è una guerra antica come il mondo, un nemico crudele ha in serbo per Lou un destino peggiore del rogo. E lei, che non può cambiare la propria natura e nemmeno ignorare i sentimenti che stanno sbocciando nel suo cuore, si trova di fronte a una scelta terribile. Siamo legati a doppio filo dall'amore, dall'onore, o dal fuoco... E l'amore si prende gioco di tutti noi.
