Synopsis

Explore Jules Verne’s world in a collision of history and fantasy, science and the supernatural, mystery and discovery.

In this brooding tale, François Rivière tells the story of how Jules Verne, the greatest science fiction writer of the nineteenth century,, composed his masterpiece, ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’, in the midst of a fantastical journey of his own. Who are the strange characters crossing Verne’s path – a nameless orphan with a mysterious package, an Indian princess on an obsessive quest, and an eccentric artist of extraordinary creations? Through them Verne discovers and immortalizes the most compelling character of his writing career: Captain Nemo. Weaving together details of Verne’s own life with events aboard the infamous ‘Nautilus’, François Rivière tells a powerful – and cryptic – tale of art, science, and the terrible consequences of unbridled passion.

In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical "auto-mail" limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his brother and himself... the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

There are many types of alchemy in the world. Edward's commanding officer, "Flame Alchemist" Roy Mustang, can control fire. Shou Tucker, the "Sewing-Life Alchemist," specializes in the most difficult alchemy of all...biological transmutation, the ability to alter the tissue of living things.

Walking Your Octopus: A Guidebook to the Domesticated Cephalopod

★ 4.54

Brian Kesinger

A beautifully produced and richly illustrated book that showcases the day-to-day adventures of independent girl-about-town Victoria Prismall and her pet land octopus Otto. Thirty panoramic, full-page illustrations humorously chronicle the duo's home and social activities that include (among other things) bathing, biking, dating, cooking, playing croquet, and pumpkin carving. Accompanying text explains the "do"s and "don't"s of living with a large land octopus. The book's art is extremely detailed, and each illustration tells its own visual story. The Victorian era characters and period-influenced design elements combine to create a wonderful, collectible art-object for those who still value the classic elegance of ink-on-paper. The hardcover binding is plussed with two-layer embossing and spot varnish, and the interior is printed on extra heavy paper. An exquisite volume for lovers of books, art and pets.
