Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

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.

Chi è Artemis Fowl? Un genio? Certo non c'è altro modo di definire un dodicenne con un quoziente intellettivo che sfugge a qualsiasi classificazione. Un criminale? Senza dubbio, discende da una stirpe di illustri malfattori, e non ci pensa due volte a mettere la sua mente brillante al servizio dell'illecito. E infatti, per rimpinguare il patrimonio di famiglia, Artemis ha ideato il colpo più insolito e audace del secolo: impadronirsi dell'oro che il Piccolo Popolo custodisce gelosamente da millenni. Peccato che gli ostacoli siano tanti, e imprevedibili.

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".

Jazz Bashara es una criminal... O al menos lo parece. La vida en Artemisa, la primera y única ciudad de la Luna, es difícil si no eres un turista adinerado o un multimillonario excéntrico. Así que hacer un poco de contrabando de lo más inofensivo no cuenta, ¿verdad? Sobre todo cuando hay que pagar deudas y tu trabajo como transportista apenas paga el alquiler.

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.

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.

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.

When she first married at fourteen, Otrera imagined a relationship full of love. A partnership. Years later, living in destitution with her abusive husband, she knows that no such thing exists with a man. It is simply a woman's lot in life to accept the treatment of her husband. Until it's not. Rallying the women around her, Otrera fights back, taking no prisoners. Because it's clear to her: when men are in power, freedom isn't granted. It's bought with blood. It's a price she is more than willing to pay, if it means building a new life with other women far from the reaches of their abusers.

Artemis Fowl è davvero un genio criminale? Sì, visto che a dodici anni è riuscito a impadronirsi dell'oro custodito dal Popolo delle creature fatate e a beffarsi della magia grazie al proprio stupefacente Q.I. Cinico, senza scrupoli e provvisto di una schiacciante superiorità intellettuale, Artemis ha tuttavia un punto debole: l'amore per la madre, che pretende di mandarlo a scuola come un moccioso qualunque, e per il padre, misteriosamente scomparso fra i ghiacci dell'Artico.
