Tanya has won victory after victory on the battlefield, and still the Empire hurtles toward its destruction. Zettour stands at the helm, a warped sense of patriotism guiding his actions as he prepares the stage. His only goal now is to secure the best possible defeat the Empire can afford, even...

The Salamander Kampfgruppe has finally come off the front lines and is headed back west for much-needed R & R. The troops are more than ready to enjoy some peace and quiet after many long days flying missions on the eastern front. What they aren’t ready for is how unfamiliar it feels not to be...

Carlo Ancelotti est une légende vivante. Joueur mythique du Milan AC, entraîneur au palmarès inégalé — sept fois vainqueur de la Ligue des champions, champion en Italie, en Angleterre, en France, en Allemagne et en Espagne — il incarne à lui seul l'excellence du football mondial. Mais derrière les trophées, The Dream révèle un homme : sa philosophie de vie, son regard sur le jeu, la tactique, les vestiaires et les stars qu'il a dirigées — de Zidane à Cristiano Ronaldo, de Kaká à Benzema.

Geppetto es un anciano que se siente solo y crea un muñeco de madera para que le haga compañía, al que llama Pinocho. Un hada le da vida y es así como Pinocho, junto al pequeño Pepe Grillo, comienza a experimentar aventuras llenas de emociones y peligros, en el camino hacia el sueño de convertirse en un niño de verdad.

The eastern front is a place where soldiers never sleep and artillery guns howl without rest. This quagmire is where the Salamander Kampfgruppe has been hurled once again, just another cog in the grand war machine of their fatherland. Still, there’s only so much one unit can do. As the...

Time is not on the Empire’s side. It has become painfully clear that simply winning battles will not be enough to turn the tide of this war. Having no interest in sharing the fate of her country, Tanya immediately decides to do the only thing that makes sense—look for a new job! Of course...

The tale of Pinocchio is one of the most ingenious growing-up stories ever told. Pinocchio's desire to be a boy is almost thwarted by his desire for mischief. Were it not for the good-natured Geppetto, the Blue Fairy, that "miserable croaker" the cricket, and many others, Pinocchio would be a story of dreams that don't materialize.

Survival is always a fight. Lieutenant Colonel Tanya von Degurechaff has become keenly aware of this after deploying to the freezing eastern front. The bone-chilling weather makes every move a struggle, grinding even the Empire’s proud army to a halt. And yet, winter is the time for the...

"Pinocchio, the Original," is "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi from 1883, with updated comments by Steven Ritz-Barr—a professional Puppeteer for over 4 decades in Paris, Los Angeles and Berlin. It is a darker, more profound version than the popular Pinocchio by Disney, who made the story world-famous with the 1940 animated film. It is filled with absurd puppet-humor and abstract slap-stick—and it is the real version.

Pinocchio è un classico della letteratura mondiale, uno dei testi italiani più amati e apprezzati in tutto il mondo. Il burattino di legno creato da Collodi è ormai diventato un'icona senza tempo, una vera e propria incarnazione dell'infanzia.

Pinocchio is a naughty, disobedient wooden puppet that longs to grow up and become a real boy, but as long as he misbehaves and disappoints his father, old Gepetto, he is doomed and his dream will never be realized.

Vorwärts in die Vergangenheit. Weiße Löcher sind das Gegenteil von Schwarzen Löchern – sie sind vermutlich ihre Abkömmlinge. Die einen ziehen alle Materie unwiderstehlich in sich hinein, die anderen geben ihre Information wieder frei. Sie sind ein weiteres großes Rätsel der Kosmologie, und noch gibt es keinen Beweis ihrer Existenz. Einsteins Gleichungen lassen sie aber vermuten, und mit Carlo Rovellis Quantentheorie sind Weiße Löcher theoretisch darstellbar.

Nella Resistenza italiana, parte integrante di un conflitto globale che travolge i confini nazionali e spazza vite e destini ai quattro angoli del pianeta, hanno combattuto migliaia di persone – non meno di 15-20.000 – che italiane non erano. Le nazionalità sono decine: statunitensi e britannici, neozelandesi e sudafricani, jugoslavi e francesi, libici, etiopi, eritrei e somali, e poi tedeschi, sovietici, polacchi, cecoslovacchi, ebrei stranieri.
