Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Nella primavera 1944 Anna Banti ha quasi ultimato il suo racconto biografico dedicato all'artista seicentesca Artemisia Gentileschi, ma in agosto il manoscritto va distrutto nei bombardamenti tedeschi su Firenze. Con "ostinazione accorata" la scrittrice torna allora al suo personaggio, "pittrice valentissima" ma soprattutto "una delle prime donne che sostennero colle parole e colle opere il diritto al lavoro congeniale e a una parità di spirito fra i due sessi".

I denne første historie om Artemis hører vi om, hvordan han opdagede feernes underjordiske verden og besluttede sig for at udnytte sin viden til at samle masser af rigdomme. Uden at tøve lagde han sig ud med en hær af bevæbnede og farlige feer, pruttende dværge og ekstremt avanceret teknologi. Vi møder også Butler, Artemis' kampsportstræner livvagt, der viser sig at være en god hjælp under kidnapningen af kaptajn Holly Short fra Nedre Imperiums Sikkerhedspoliti og de efterfølgende kampe.

Il mondo appartiene agli uomini. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 - 1653) lo sa bene, l'ha imparato sulla sua pelle. Eppure riuscirà a diventare una pittrice immensa, colei che imbriglia la luce, l'unica donna che seppe guardare il mondo dell'arte come lo vedeva il Caravaggio, raccontando nelle sue opere (illuminate solo dalla luce delle candele) tutta la grazia e la forza delle donne.

Stavolta Artemis Fowl ha combinato davvero un grosso guaio! La sua ultima invenzione, il Cubo, un minicomputer costruito usando la tecnologia fatata sottratta al Popolo e in grado di localizzarne il rifugio sotterraneo, è caduta nelle mani sbagliate. Quelle di Jon Spiro, un avido miliardario pronto a tutto pur di dominare il mondo. D'accordo, il Cubo è protetto dal Codice Eternità, impossibile da decifrare, almeno in teoria... ma in pratica?

In Jean Shinoda Bolen’s bestselling, game-changing Goddesses in Everywoman, myths came to life in a whole new way that resonated with our own lives. Even fictional character Bridget Jones was reading that book. Now comes Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman, a groundbreaking new audiobook that explores the archetype of the activist. Indomitable means untamed, unsubdued. It is the one-in-herself quality in girls and women who will not be victims, no matter what.

Some Christians think Paul's reference to "saved through childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence. Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.

Jazz n'a pas demandé à devenir une héroïne. Elle voulait juste être riche, pas comme les milliardaires qui visitent Artémis, la seule colonie humaine de l'espace, mais assez riche pour dormir dans un vrai lit et manger autre chose qu'une infâme bouillie d'algues. Alors, Jazz a mis son intelligence au service du crime : contrebande, mécanique et explosions en tout genre. Le problème, c'est que, sans le savoir, Jazz a pris part à une conspiration qui menace la sécurité d'Artémis.

In 1939 Rev. Waitstill Sharp, a young Unitarian minister, and his wife, Martha, a social worker, accepted a mission from the American Unitarian Association: They were to leave their home and young children in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and travel to Prague, Czechoslovakia, to help address the mounting refugee crisis. Armed with only $40,000, the Sharps quickly learned the art of spy craft and covertly sheltered political dissidents and Jews and helped them escape the Nazis.

Some hauntings arrive not as shadows, but as a smile you cannot quite face. In The Smile In My Peripheral, Elara Voss receives a relic from her estranged mother's estate: an obsolete flip phone that smells of dust and antiseptic. What begins as clinical paperwork fractures into psychological suspense when the old phone vibrates at 3:03 a.m. with voicemails from a woman dead for eight weeks. Or so Elara believes.

Artemis may be the goddess of the hunt but that doesn't mean she always feels brave. Will she find the courage to talk to Orion (the new mortal "star" at school), to make him see her as more than a pal, and to ace Beast-ology class?  

Artemis had one of the most widespread cults in the Greek world, perhaps due to her connection to nature, which can be a ubiquitous antagonist or boon-giver. Her association with nature may also explain why she was one of the oldest deities in the Greek pantheon, although her appearance in the Mycenaean Linear B script (the earliest form of Greek that has been deciphered, dating to as early as 1450 BCE) is still contested.

They say some lovers travel through time and are fated to meet over and over again. For Maddie, an art therapist who wrestles with the “peculiar feeling” she has lived previous lives and is being called to Italy by voices that have left imprints on her soul, this idea is intriguing. Despite her best efforts, however, proof of this has always eluded her. That is, until one illuminating summer in Italy when Maddie’s previous existences start to bleed through into her current reality.

When twenty-something Olivia Hale, a grocery store courtesy desk clerk, begins receiving anonymous cup cakes and notes from a mysterious admirer, she is swept up in a whirlwind of hope and confusion. Especially since she is engaged to the grandson of the grocery chain owners. The letters speak of her beauty, her intelligence, and how she deserves more in her life, yet the sender remains a complete mystery.

Set against the glorious backdrops of Rome, Florence, and Genoa, and Naples, peopled with historical characters and filled with the details of the life of a 17th-century painter, The Passion of Artemisia is the story of Gentileschi's struggle to find love, forgiveness, and wholeness through her art.

This is the first biography to tell the fascinating story of Eva Palmer Sikelianos (1874-1952), an American actor, director, composer, and weaver best known for reviving the Delphic Festivals. Yet, as Artemis Leontis reveals, Palmer’s most spectacular performance was her daily revival of ancient Greek life. For almost half a century, dressed in handmade Greek tunics and sandals, she sought to make modern life freer and more beautiful through a creative engagement with the ancients. Along the way, she crossed paths with other seminal modern artists.

Después de tres peligrosas aventuras, acaba de sufrir un barrido de memoria y no recuerda nada de las Criaturas Mágicas; por eso se dedica a otros quehaceres: esta vez, robar una enigmática obra de arte que solo unos pocos conocen.

Artemis ist die göttliche Verdichtung der sublimen Natur. In ihr fügen sich Wildheit und Grazie, Jagd und Tanz, Unerbittlichkeit und spielerische Leichtigkeit zu einer bezaubernden, jungfräulichen Gestalt.

An Artemis kann der Mensch lernen, wie sehr es ihm wohltut, das Heiligtum der unbefleckten Natur zu achten.
