Welcome to a true Irish pub — Gavagan's Bar, the Strangest Establishment in the Observable Universe! Here you will find astonishing regulars and just passing visitors: a leprechaun from Ireland, an owner of a mini-dragon (mouse catcher), a witch, werewolves, various wizards and sorcerers, dryads, spirits, several demons, and a genuine demigod. You will hear their stories, tales, and anecdotes — fantastic, fairy-tale-like, mystical, but all imbued with good humor. A novel in stories by L. Sprague de Camp — one of the founders of the alternate history fantasy genre and a master of humorous fantasy!

Playful and enduring fantasy from one of the most prodigious writers of the genre in the 20th century.

Robbed of lands and heritage by the rapacious Vulkings, young Airar Alvarson had only his limited gift for sorcery to aid him against a world of savage intrigues. Then he met a mysterious sorcerer and was given a strange iron ring -- a ring that led him into a futile conspiracy and soon had him fleeing for his life.Driven by enchantments and destiny, he found himself leading a band of warriors against the mighty empire of the Vulkings. With him was a warrior maid who mocked him while she sought to serve by fair means or foul. Then he met the Imperial Princess who preached the peace of the Well but it soon became apparent she would bring him only turmoil and strife!

Set aboard the Goddard, Captain "Steel-Wall" McCausland harbors a secret vision for a revitalized Earth while navigating the complexities of space. Reuter, a scientist, is entangled with dangerous experiments that threaten their mission, and Air Mate Longworth confronts a hidden terror that endangers countless lives. The story intertwines themes of ambition, betrayal, and the struggle for survival in the vastness of space.

Un ciclo di romanzi considerato tra i classici del genere fantasy avventuroso, una lettura irrinunciabile per tutti gli appassionati. In qualche anfratto della dimensione spazio-tempo, tra le migliaia di "universi paralleli", forse esistono davvero altri mondi fantastici. Comincia così la straordinaria avventura di Harold Shea, un ragazzo d'oggi che, annoiato dalla piattezza e dalla prevedibilità della vita quotidiana, vuole ragiungere luoghi più eccitanti e si trova catapultato tra eroi forzuti, continui pericoli e guai di ogni sorta...

Astronomen hatten den Kometen eine Zeit lang beobachtet und seinen Kurs vorhergesagt. Er würde mit der Erde kollidieren. Es gab keine Hysterie; die Wissenschaftler waren anscheinend überzeugt, dass die Folgen nicht gefährlich für das Leben sein würden. Doch Muuray Lee wachte mit einem Gefühl überwältigender Steifheit in jedem Muskel auf. Er drehte sich im Bett um und fühlte seinen linken Ellbogen, der besonders schmerzte - und erhielt den Schock seines Lebens. Die Bewegung ging mit einem knarrenden Klang einher, und sein Ellbogen fühlte sich wie ein komplexes Rad an. Warum - er war überall aus Metall!
