stone island

Die Schlacht der Kreuzritter bei Hattin im Jahre 1187 und der Vulkanausbruch in Island, der 2010 die europäische Luftfahrt zum Erliegen brachte, haben scheinbar nichts miteinander zu tun. Der Schüler Ronny Smith wird allerdings während seiner Sommerferien in ein Abenteuer verstrickt, das genau diese beiden historischen Ereignisse in einen engen Zusammenhang rücken lässt. Der Roman spielt im mittelalterlichen Sansibar und in einer archäologischen Ausgrabungsstätte der heutigen Zeit. Als Ronny Smith und seine Freunde sich unerlaubterweise in der Grabungsstätte umsehen, schlittern sie in ein Abenteuer, das Gegenwart und Vergangenheit aufeinander prallen lassen. Die drei Freunde Ronny Smith, Jenny Braun und Nick Stone verbringen gemeinsame Sommerferien auf der Insel Sansibar. Jennys Eltern sind dort als Archäologen dabei, eine mittelalterliche Stadt auszugraben. Die Legende über einen Schatz, der in dieser Stadt vergraben sein soll, lässt die Jugendlichen nicht mehr los. Als die Freunde im Grabungsbereich unerlaubt herumstöbern, finden sie einen faszinierenden, historischen Schlüssel, der Hinweise auf diesen Schatz gibt. Zur gleichen Zeit findet ein Experiment an einem geborgenen Meteoriten statt, der Unmengen von negativer Energie gespeichert hat. Dabei geraten die drei Freunde ungewollt in die Krümmung der Raumzeit und werden in das mittelalterliche Sansibar katapultiert. Dort werden sie in ein unglaubliches Abenteuer verstrickt, in dem es um das jahrtausendalte Geheimnis der Alchimisten geht. Hierbei handelt es sich um nichts Geringeres, als um die Formel des ewigen Lebens.

Slievemore Mountain (Achill Island, Co. Mayo, Ireland) has recorded archaeological sites possibly representing 5,000 years of continuous settlement, spanning the Neolithic until shortly after the Great Potato Famine. Political events and missionary efforts during the Famine disrupted the lives of the Slievemore villagers, who abandoned their homes and never returned. Ruins at the Deserted Village of Slievemore include 74 stone houses and associated archaeological features. This book presents an artifact analysis with emphasis on the post-medieval (historical) ceramics from the archaeological excavations conducted from 1992 to 2000. Historical archaeology offers a direct connection to the lives of the impoverished classes in post-medieval Ireland, but relatively few studies have been conducted to date. This examination of the artifact collection from the Deserted Village contributes to the ongoing site investigations, and provides contextual information for future study of other post-medieval (historical) archaeological sites.

Sommer auf Coney Island. Der Teenager Frankie driftet durch sein Leben. Tagsüber hängt er mit seinen Freunden am Strand ab, geht trainieren und raucht Gras. Doch weder seine Macho-haften, latent aggressiven Kumpels noch Simone, mit der er eine Affäre beginnt, scheinen ihn wirklich zu interessieren. Der einzige Ort, an dem Frankie offen über seine Gefühle und sexuellen Wünsche sprechen kann, ist der anonyme Chatroom, in dem er nachts mit älteren schwulen Männern schreibt. Nach einigem Zögern beginnt er sich mit Leuten aus dem Netz zu treffen und wagt sich in die Cruising-Bereiche am Flussufer vor. Doch als seine Kumpels sein Geheimnis zu entdecken drohen, muss Frankie eine radikale Entscheidung treffen … In ihrem zweiten Spielfilm erzählt die US-amerikanische Independent-Regisseurin Eliza Hittman in düster-verträumten Bildern eine Geschichte von homosexuellem Erwachen und Selbstverleugnung am äußersten Rand New Yorks, an dem soziale Probleme wie Arbeitslosigkeit und Jugendkriminalität ebenso Alltag sind wie eine einseitige Vorstellung von Männlichkeit. Für ihr poetisch-realistisches Coming-of-Age-Drama, das thematisch und formal an das radikale Außenseiter-Kino Larry Clarks erinnert, wurde Hittman beim Festival in Sundance gefeiert und mit dem Preis für die beste Regie ausgezeichnet. pressezitate: „Ein Film voller erotischer Spannung!“ (Rolling Stone) „Einer der mutigsten Filme des Jahres!“ (The Atlantic) „Eine sinnliche Erfahrung!“ (The New York Times) „Düster verträumt und fesselnd bis zum Ende!“ (The Hollywood Reporter) „Ein kühnes Meisterwerk!“ (San Francisco Chronicle)

Jake Stone arrives on a secluded island, drawn by whispers of a magical spring—his desperate, singular hope. As a vampire, he craves just one thing: mortality. Eons of unfulfilling, lonely existence have left him weary, yearning for the simple release of an end. But the island holds another soul on the brink: Claire Culver. Her journey to this mystical place is a final, desperate gamble, a plea for a miracle to cure a terminal illness. For Claire, this Christmas might be her last. As their paths collide, two desperate wishes hang in the balance. Will the spring grant Claire the miracle she so desperately needs, or will this holiday season mark her final farewell? And can Jake, in his pursuit of mortality, find a reason to truly live again, even as a forbidden connection sparks between them? Where does this novella fit into the Scanguards timeline? It takes place several years before Samson's story kicks off the Scanguards Vampires series in San Francisco with Samson's Lovely Mortal. Jake is first mentioned in Quinn's Undying Rose. Well-loved Scanguards characters—Gabriel, Zane, and Amaury—will make an appearance in this short novella.

Leaving Home, Coming Home: Ein Porträt von Robert Frank, fertiggestellt im Jahr 2004, war der erste abendfüllende Dokumentarfilm über den legendären schweizerisch-amerikanischen Fotografen und Filmemacher. Nachdem Robert Frank den Film zunächst nicht freigegeben hatte, weil er ihm zu persönlich war, um ihn der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen, autorisierte er ihn schließlich doch und er kam in die Kinos. Der Film wurde im Stil des Cinéma vérité zwischen New York und Nova Scotia, wo Robert Frank seine letzten Lebensjahre verbrachte, gedreht. Er zeigt Frank, zurückblickend auf sein Leben als Fotograf sowie auf sein produziertes berühmtes »The Americans«, das wahrscheinlich einflussreichste Fotobuch der letzten 60 Jahre. Von der Lower East Side bis nach Coney Island besucht Frank noch einmal die Orte, an denen er lebte und fotografierte, und bemerkte dabei unsentimental und humorvoll wie sich New York veränderte. Er erinnert sich an die Zusammenarbeit mit der Beat-Generation, inklusive des von Jack Kerouac erzählten Films Pull my Daisy sowie an seinen berüchtigten Cocksucker Blues mit The Rolling Stones. Liebevolle Gespräche mit Franks zweiter Frau, der lebhaften Künstlerin June Leaf, offenbaren Jahrzehnte der Nähe, des kreativen Austauschs und der Unterstützung in Zeiten als Frank in seinem Leben einige Tragödien erlitt. In seltenen Momenten der Verwundbarkeit spricht Frank in bewegenden Worten über diese Tragödien und seine Versuche, diese mit seinen zutiefst persönlichen Fotografien und Filmen zu überwinden. Dieses uneingeschränkte und unerschütterliche Porträt zeigt das Leben und die Kunst eines der bedeutendsten und kompromisslosesten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms—sky; stone, fire, and water—then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms—and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world. . . . In Arianus, Realm of Sky, humans, elves, and dwarves battle for control of precious water—traversing a world of airborne islands on currents of elven magic and the backs of mammoth dragons. But soon great magical forces will begin to rend the fabric of this delicate land. An assassin will be hired to kill a royal prince—by the king himself. A dwarf will challenge the beliefs of his people—and lead them in rebellion. And a sinister wizard will enact his plan to rule Arianus—a plan that may be felt far beyond the Realm of Sky and into the Death Gate itself.

The Beatles landing in New York in February 1964 was the opening shot in a cultural revolution nobody predicted. Suddenly the youth of the richest, most powerful nation on earth was trying to emulate the music, manners and the modes of a rainy island that had recently fallen on hard times. The resulting fusion of American can-do and British fuck-you didn't just lead to rock and roll's most resonant music. It ushered in a golden era when a generation of kids born in ration card Britain, who had grown up with their nose pressed against the window of America's plenty, were invited to wallow in their big neighbour's largesse. It deals with a time when everything that was being done - from the Beatles playing Shea Stadium to the Rolling Stones at Altamont, from the Who performing their rock opera at the Metropolitan Opera House to David Bowie touching down in the USA for the first time with a couple of gowns in his luggage - was being done for the very first time. Rock and roll would never be quite so exciting again.
