Un anciano con un solo ojo, con un manto gris y sombrero de ala ancha, apoyándose de un bastón. Un vagabundo que aparece cuando menos se le espera, trayendo triunfo o perdición. El dios de la profecía, la poesía y el destino. Un cambiaformas. Un hechicero. El dios Odín es una figura dramática en la mitología nórdica y es aún parte del imaginario popular. Ha sido la inspiración para figuras como Gandalf el Gris, de J.R.R. Tolkien, y todavía figura en literatura moderna tan variada como los cómics de Marvel o la novela de Neil Gaiman American Gods (2001).

On a hot day in July 1919, five black youths went swimming in Lake Michigan, unintentionally floating close to the white beach.

This mesmerizing narrative draws on contemporary accounts as it traces the roots of the explosion that had been building for decades in race relations, politics, business, and clashes of culture.

In his meteoric, 13-year rise to fame, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led a mass movement for civil rights - with his relentless peaceful, non-violent protests, public demonstrations, and eloquent speeches.

"Chi sei?", bella e inquietante domanda, soprattutto se a fartela è un biglietto anonimo lasciato nella tua buca delle lettere. Questo è ciò che accade a Sofia Amundsen, ragazzina norvegese ancora capace di stupirsi di fronte al mondo e ai suoi abitanti. Dalla caduta nel mondo dell'ovvio viene salvata grazie all'intervento del bislacco filosofo Alberto Knox, con i suoi messaggi recapitati dal cane Hermes, i travestimenti, i quesiti apparentemente senza senso e le metafore esilaranti.
