Wagner’s Ring cycle is the most ambitious work in the history of music: four operas that combine to tell a single epic story. Based in legend, it has become a legend in its own right: a supreme challenge for conductors, singers, opera producers, and indeed for audiences.

John has failed. The apocalypse has come. But it's been awfully quiet for an apocalypse. After stopping Kythov the Eyeless, John and the gang barely managed to stabilize the world’s mana supply, only sort of poisoning the world in the process. With a farm to run, a valley to develop, and a mysterious door to another dimension to study, John is going to have his hands full. Even worse, despite the apparent peace, turmoil stirs and ancient threats have begun to surface.

Just when John thinks things are finally calming down, the world never fails to throw a new twist his way. And the latest one is deadly. A distress call from Katrine has set John on a crash course with a band of vicious dimensional raiders led by a supreme mage who are already planning an invasion, while back home, the clock is ticking on the prophecy of the beast invasion that will wipe humans from the face of the world. Worse still, John’s mana is growing stronger, forcing him to choose between sealing his mana away and becoming mortal, or destroying the world by his very presence.

Rilassati coi suoni della natura. I raggi del sole giocano tra le fronde verdi degli alberi, che frusciano delicatamente mosse dal vento. Tra il cinguettio giocoso degli uccelli, in lontananza si sente scorrere quieta l’acqua di un ruscello. Ti trovi in un bosco lussureggiante e sereno; attorno a te, null’altro che la musica della natura. La ricerca ha dimostrato che i suoni naturali possono avere un effetto sia rilassante che stimolante sul nostro cervello. "Saga Sounds" è una collana di paesaggi sonori, vari e gradevoli, che puoi ascoltare quando vuoi rilassarti.

Passata in pochi anni da ragazzina emarginata nel profondo Texas a simbolo di una stagione musicale irripetibile, Janis Joplin è riuscita a brillare e bruciare molto, troppo in fretta.

Il desiderio di annullarsi e ritrovarsi nella musica e la sua voce indimenticabile vengono qui raccontati, come finora non sono mai stati letti e sentiti.
