Los Códices de Cesárea

Number Twelve is an urban legend in 2060 New York City. The hot club in the 1960s, it is now reported to be haunted?and cursed.

Lieutenant Eve Dallas is called there to investigate the apparent murder of Radcliff Hopkins, its new owner and the grandson of the man who made Number Twelve a cultural icon. Several bullets from a banned gun end his dream of returning the building to its former glory. With everyone around her talking about the supernatural, pragmatic Eve won't let rumors of ghosts distract her from hard evidence. The case becomes even more bizarre when it appears to be linked to the suspicious disappearance of a rock star eighty-five years ago. As Eve searches for the connection, logic clashes with the unexplainable. She may be forced to face the threat of something more dangerous than a flesh-and-blood killer.

The liberal class plays a vital role in a democracy. It gives moral legitimacy to the state. It makes limited forms of dissent and incremental change possible. The liberal class posits itself as the conscience of the nation. It permits us, through

"Silenziosi sui loro piedi nudi gli schiavi attraversano duecento anni di storia danese senza lasciare altra traccia che due righe nei libri di scuola: la Danimarca fu il primo paese ad abolire il traffico degli schiavi. Migliaia di uomini, donne e bambini. E di loro non resta che una frase.

Per di più falsa." Quel traffico continuerà per decenni dopo l’abolizione ufficiale, ma nessuno schiavo ha mai raccontato la sua storia: per dar voce a quelle migliaia di esseri umani privati della libertà, incatenati, venduti e trascinati dall'altra parte dell'oceano, Thorkild Hansen va a cercare le tracce dei loro passi nella Guinea danese, l'attuale Ghana, lungo le rive del Volta, tra le rovine dei forti che dominavano con le loro mura bianche quella costa bordata di palme e battuta dalla risacca. E come guida si serve di diari, lettere, documenti lasciati da sette "testimoni oculari" che si sono succeduti nel corso di due secoli tra quelle mura: un tenente, due sacerdoti, un mercante, un medico, un contabile e un governatore. Spinti dall'ambizione, dall'avventura o da ideali, chi approfittando di quel commercio e chi combattendolo: "gente comune, buona e cattiva, ma per lo più buona, forte e debole, ma per lo più debole", che, con le proprie vicende, è parte della storia, tra i vincitori o tra i perdenti, ma più probabilmente solo impotente davanti a un meccanismo ben più vasto che chiama in causa re, ricchi e filosofi, che siano Hobbes, Kierkegaard o Rousseau. Non sarà forse quando non è più redditizio che si ferma quel traffico diventato illegale? Il bisogno di rendere una tardiva giustizia a quei dannati che, come nell'Inferno di Dante, non proiettano ombra nella storia, porta Hansen a raccontare i destini di singoli che non fanno che porre "le solite vecchie domande": l'uomo è cattivo? è buono? o è solo debole?

Darth Plagueis The Wise has become one of the most infamous and interesting characters in Star Wars despite never appearing on screen. He was directly responsible for just about everything that happened over the course of the Star Wars movies, and unbeknownst to many, was even alive for most of Episode I.

Darth Plagueis was a bit of a recluse, especially in his later years, so not much is known about him beyond the secondhand accounts of his former apprentice Palpatine. This book will dispel much of the mystery surrounding the famous Sith Lord by exploring his history, his relationship with the Emperor, and how the ripple effects of his actions are still being felt in the Star Wars universe today.
